Editorial Review for Z'Tejas – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
Colors on the walls call to mind the Southwest. Even with country-western music playing in the background, Z'Tejas avoids an over-the-top display. The chain leans more toward understated Santa Fe and less in-your-face Texas.
The Food
Instead of the usual bread basket, hot cornbread arrives in a small cast-iron skillet. You'll see plenty of those skillets, transporting everything from sizzling shrimp and pork dumplings steamed in ginger-infused soy sauce to artery-clogging chili con queso. Crawfish crab cakes, loaded with big hunks of crab meat, are a good choice for a starter. Proceed directly to the catfish tacos--spicy seared fish paired with cool slaw and wrapped in warm flour tortillas. The decadent chicken relleno, drizzled with sour cream and green chili mole and sprinkled with toasted pumpkin seeds, is also worthwhile.

We love Z'Tejas! The food is consistently excellent with wonderful flavors. While we have favorites...the steak burrito, the chicken avocado sandwich (get it with extra jalapeno mayo), the miso salmon (what a kick to that one!), we try new things all of the time. The 6th Street margarita is their best frozen or on the rocks. If you want excellent service request Cherie, Jess, Matthew or Richard as your server. They seem to have a turnover in hostesses, but there is a really tall, attractive girl with brown hair who really knows what's she's doing. Get her to help you. It can be romantic and is good for kids, which seems like a contradiction! And people who take a million kids...do us all a favor and make them behave and be quiet so your table doesn't disturb the rest of the patrons paying for a nice meal out.
Pros: Everyting
Cons: Turnover in hostesses...people who don't control their kids (not Z'Tejas's fault though)

We went for dinner tonight, ordered a drink and went to the restroom where there was no hot water to wash my hands. I spoke to the manager who said they sometimes have a problem with the hot water getting all the way back to the restrooms and staying hot on a busy night??? We decided not to eat here.
Pros: good drink
