Editorial Review for Z'Tejas Grill – by Malin Hansson
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, cheese, lettuce, tomato, zucchini and sour cream. The fish tacos arrive as soft tortilla rolls artfully spread out on the plate. For a warm treat, check out the thick, creamy poblano corn soup with an individual bread basket.

Can't complain about the patio dining atmosphere, which is wonderful. However our food was just a little above average (maybe even just average) considering it was barely warm and not much to distiguish it from lesser priced restaurants in town. The sides were uninspired although it is a growing chain so consistency must be maintained. I would unltimately say go to this place for the atmosphere don't expect to be blown away by the food.
Pros: Ambience on the patio
Cons: average food

If I could rate it a half star I would. When I first moved to Austin my roommate at the time worked at Z'Tejas and talked about their brunch. I had been in for lunch and it wasn't bad, so this Sunday when my girlfriend and I were wanting to try a new place for brunch we decided on Z'Tejas. She likes their margaritas. First of all, they discontinued the one thing I actually wanted that is still advertised online, Banana Fosters French Toast. Second, one small pancake cost four dollars. I was expecting for $4 to get one big fluffy pancake like everyone else does in town. And I couldn't put enough butter on it to make it not dry. It had obviously been sitting in a premade pile for the past hour. Yuck! And when I asked for fruit to go with the pancake our server offered us grapefruit or melon. No, I mean pancake fruit, strawberries, blueberries, bananas. Jeez. From that point on everything tasted like a microwave dinner. My advice, splurge and go someplace nice for brunch. An awful brunch can ruin your entire Sunday.
Pros: nice outdoor seating
Cons: terrible food
