The Z'Tejas Mexican Restaurants Story - In 1989, the first Z’Tejas was born in an old Victorian house on Austin’s historic 6th Street. Taking flavors from Spanish and Mexican cuisines and combining them with inspirations from Arizona, Louisiana, California, New Mexico and Texas, Z’Tejas created a rich blend of flavors that we’ve come to celebrate as Southwestern cuisine.
In 1991, Z’Tejas opened their second location in Scottsdale, Arizona and today has 8 restaurants in the Southwest United States.
As Z’Tejas celebrates 25 years of flavor, we invite you to come experience our signature cornbread, award-winning margaritas, and any number of our fresh, flavorful, and innovative dishes.

In Short
The menu is spicy Southwestern, but you'll find creatively prepared pasta dishes and traditional salads alongside unique items like the Navajo taco: A crisp, flat tortilla piled high with fried spinach, black beans,… Read Full Editorial
GREAT FOOD by Trustedreviews via Citysearch on 6/22/2011
The food was great. The service was pretty good also. The food came out fairly quickly.
This is a good restaurant to just eat and have a conversation.
Z Tejas by amanda t via Insider Pages on 4/29/2010
I'm not sure what is better, the brunch or dinner. Most girls like the breakfast quesadillas... so yummy! The brunch portions are pretty large and come with a muffin. All meals come with their delicious cornbread. The chile relleno is…
One of my favorites by Wes A via Insider Pages on 1/11/2010
Absolutely LOVE the view at this Z Tejas. If you can get a seat on the patio it's wonderful. Been here for many brunches and I'm always left delighted. The migas are great. The muffins you get with your meal are always fresh and delicious…
Marvelous Monday by LonghornLove via Citysearch on 7/21/2008
Imagine my surprise when going for a nice dinner on Monday to find a hidden happy hour gem. My girlfriend and I went to Z'Tejas up North and had one of the best dining experience while watching the sun set over the hill country from their…

Good food, great margaritas by shaft28 via Citysearch on 5/21/2008
What I like about Z'Tejas is that nothing is a real let down on the menu and the service is always cheerful. Not to mention their margaritas will pretty much knock you on your b-hind with their delicious flavor, two is plenty...\r

EXCELLENT food, fast service & great atmosphere! by RRMommy via Citysearch on 3/31/2008
My husband, 2-year old son & I recently went to Z'Tejas after a friend told us how delicious the food was. We were HIGHLY impressed with the entire visit there! We visited on a Sunday evening & got sat immediately. Our waitress (whose…
Fabulous food - A great Austin find by lovinatx via Citysearch on 9/9/2007
My group of 30+ recently dined here on a Saturday afternoon. We had made reservations without any problems on very short notice. The atmosphere, while noisy at times, is very relaxed and friendly. Our orders and drinks were taken promptly…
Are We in France? by canders1 via Citysearch on 8/22/2007
A large group of coworkers wanted to meet up for dinner. Since we all lived in different locations around Austin, I recommended Z Tejas due to it's central location . The atmosphere was enjoyable. The staff was considerate and polite…

Definitely a must go to!!! by drsout2eat via Citysearch on 4/28/2007
This place was GREAT! We did not make reservations but we were seated in less than 20 minutes on a Friday night. While we waited at the bar the bar waitstaff was attentive to us and our needs. We had a great table out on the patio and…
Nice view, good food by ohyeahlach via Citysearch on 1/2/2007
Went here in Octoiber for a special occasion, food was good. Only complaint was although the place was more thanb 1/2 empty, the food wasn't hot when it reached us. would go back though, even the cold food was good. Service average.
Excellent Sunday Bruch Spot by tt1072 via Citysearch on 11/16/2006
I love this place! The view is awesome, mimosas are great. Sundays for brunch are very fufilling. Get there before the crowd so you can get a table outside with a great view of the greenbelt. The salmon is AWESOME and the cornbread and…
Ancho Fudge Pie by lacyfraz via Citysearch on 11/6/2006
This dessert alone is reason enough to go to Z-Tejas if you love anything chocolate. This pie is served warm with a touch of whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. This is one of my…
Great "first time" Experience by kc2006 via Citysearch on 8/8/2006
I visited Z' Tejas about 2 weeks ago with my fiancée and the drinks and appetizers were great. My recommendation is to try the "Perfect Patron". You won't be disappointed. Oh, big props to Jimmy who was the bartender that night. The…
User review by scur2u by scur2u via Citysearch on 5/30/2006
Been there twice now. Food is solid, tasty, consistent so far. Service is very good & attentive. I suggest sitting outside for the nice view and it's not as noisy as the inside restaurant. The inside doesn't have an acoustic ceiling so…
Great after-work spot, enjoy the views by johnkelcy via Citysearch on 5/1/2006
Great margaritas, good food and lots of local talent.
This is a must-stop after work. Lively crowd and a good menu.
6th street location is excellent as well, and offers better ambiance due to the arrangement of the restaurant.
good atmosphere and food by Whitney B. via Judy's Book on 4/1/2006
Z Tejas is a wonderful place to go and relax and just soak up the atmosphere. Their food is wonderful and I think the best southwestern style cooking in town. The service is always top notch and the view is wonderful as well. They are a…
Great place for a date by Hilda R. via Judy's Book on 3/27/2006
Z Tejas is the perfect place to on your next date. It has all the essentials for a great date night; perfect view, great food and great service. Z Tejas is definitely on the pricey side, but it is well worth it as I'm sure that you too,…
AVOID the arboretum location and go to 6th street by tnoronha via Citysearch on 2/23/2006
This location is a poor imitation to the 6th street location. With high valuted cellings the dinning room is very loud. The food is the same but the quality is far lower than 6th street. Save your money and go to Z-tejas on 6th well worth…
