Surprised as we knew this was a chain and not your mom pop authentic Mexican. Came for happy hour and grabbed a seat (3-6) at the bar. Drinks are strong (no complaints here!) Orderedd off the HH menu and the catfish beignets did not disappoint! Flakey, perfect crust that isn't too thick! Gringo tacos...suits the name. Queso is a great started, smokey flavors!

This visit was such a mix of high and lows. The trio chips had a really good queso but a bland guacamole. It is a super large app ... the table can share! Enjoyed the table cornbread .. it was a change of pace and a good flavor. The Mexican martini is their signature, yet they use a mix for the base and the tequila was lost in it. The chicken avocado sandwich was really complex with bacon, avocado, pico, spicy mayo, onions, lettuce, tomato and pickles. I felt like the basics without the garden add would have been enough, yet I did like it. A truly grilled chicken breast was a pleasant surprise. The service was nice but pushy for all the items .. apps, drinks and desserts. I did not care for the added drama to lunch.

The menu is classic, short, and simple. It's only two pages and the black cover and white pages, makes the menu bright white and easy to read. The server came a few seconds after we sat down and asked if we needed any assistance with the menu. I asked about their chicken avocado sandwich as well as their Z's burger. Ended up getting both, the Z's burger and Avocado sandwich! Awesome service and plenty of space to accommodate any larger or small party. Cons- Both the chicken sandwich and Z's burger came out a bit cold. The fries were hotter than the actual meats! We informed the waiter and he took both plates. About 6-8 minutes later, we received our plates with both meat as hot as they should've been. Besides the cold meats, the food was great and our server was attentive to our food and drinks.

I've been here twice and had a slightly different experience each time. First, both times the food was excellent. The ahi tuna salad was scrumptious. The Chorizo stuffed pork Tenderloin was nice and spicy. My friend loved her fish tacos. And my husband said the bacon cheese fries were the best he's ever had. The first time I visited, we sat at a table. The server recommended a cocktail that wasn't on the menu. I had it and it was really good. But getting drinks took forever. Our server was trying but they simply weren't coming out of the bar. And the restaurant wasn't busy so there was no excuse for that. The second time I decided to sit at the bar. I hoped it would help with drink service. Drink service was faster than it had been at a table, but it was still difficult at times to get either of the bartenders attention. From my view at the bar I was able to identify the problem. The bartenders were playing on their phones almost constantly. Not professional. I'd recommend the managers address this issue. Drinks coming out slow affects your bottom line. And I don't want to see this potentially great place fail.

Hoy visité este restaurante esperando fuera la comida tejana considerando el nombre pero es más mexicano, a mi parecer la comida es un poco costosa para la calidad, ordené un sandwich de pollo , el venía con el pollo frío, amablemente me lo prepararon de nuevo, mi esposo ordenó una hamburguesa y igualmente la carne estaba fría, el lugar me pareció agradable al parecer los sábados por la noche tienen música en vivo, tiene bar para tomar algunas copas y pasar un buen rato con tus amigos

Such an enjoyable evening! I met a friend here to catch up, and happy hour was wonderful! Ernesto was the PERFECT server... professional, accommodating, there when we needed him but not a helicopter. He guided us to delicious choices on the food and drink menu. I look forward to returning!

I was excited to get a $10 off 2 entrees birthday coupon for being a member in the reward program. I recommend visiting this establishment for happy hour because they have some really good options, but was not impressed with my food outside of that time frame. In my opinion, the value and pricing does not match my expectations. The meal started off with some complementary cornbread which was very tasty but is the serving size is for one person and we were a party of two. I had the salmon with grilled veggies. The salmon had a garlic butter sauce that was a bit too buttery and I didn't care for the flavors of the veggies. Also my salmon was overcooked and had a burnt flavor due to the char marks from the grill. Our order also included the Santa fee enchiladas and my friend asked if he could get an egg added and the waitress said his request could not be accommodated. The waitress seemed somewhat annoyed with our inquiries and just had an overall bad vibe with the experience.

This is a large establishment that is capable of fitting large parties. The chefs are experimenting with their unique twist to my typical Mexican or Texan food. Don't go here and assume this is what Mexican food tastes like. Is the food edible? Yes. I will begin by describing my tortilla soup. It tasted great, for mole sauce rather than tortilla soup. It was the taste, consistency, and color of mole. It had very little shredded chicken. The beef fajitas were not as tender as we' d like them to be; however, they had good flavor. The presentation of all the dishes was superb. The server went the extra mile to ensure that our large party was comfortable, satisfied, and content. Will we come back? No.

Amazing happy hour deals! We arrived around 3/3:30 for a small appetizer and drinks. The yuca fires are unique but not my favorite item, if you are feeling curious try them why not! The margaritas here are awesome for the $6 price! Would recommend to all Margarita happy hour lovers! First one down and we were feeling so happy go lucky! Server was laid back and very friendly. Ambiance gets loud around 6pm after work time, expect loud conversations but also good music entertainment for a Friday night. Reccomend going around 4/5 for the best possible atmosphere. Enjoy!

Great modern ambience in Kyle. We definitely needed a place like this! A few comments I did have was their chaotic check in process (especially if you don't have a reservation). There were multiple people that went ahead of the line even if they too didn't have a reservation. We ended up getting a reservation while waiting (and surprise surprise we got seated right away). My recommendation is to always sign up for a reservation because their check in process is chaotic for those without a reservation. The food was good but they were backed up in the kitchen during the Friday night we had dined. The food was good but not something remarkable. They had barbacoa street tacos but didn't serve any salsa with it. The beef barbacoa was not tender. The corn bread was a nice touch as their complementary bread. The overall meal and experience was "alright". We would probably come back and visit during a non Friday evening. That is to give it another analysis on experience. But this particular meal...overall it was just ok. A great place for drinks and appetizers with friends. Not a place to dine specifically for main entrees.

To be perfectly honest I had no idea what Z-Tejas was when it just finished being built. I drove by several times thinking well that's jewelry store of something of the like. Not giving it much more thought, my girlfriend and I were out and about and decided to stop by as she said it was a restaurant. Well, game on! Located right off I-35 with plenty of parking in a very safe spot Z-Tejas is worth the time to drop by for tasty and creative beverages or really good Tex Mex with flair. Opening the huge door which I thought was going to be extremely heavy, yet it was perfectly balanced thus I knew this was going to be a great experience. For those who're reading, yes, I did compliment a door design.... Walking in the place has tall ceilings thus a higher decibel tolerance in terms of hearing a conversation. The floor plan is wide open with "garage doors" open to a deck area and various fireplaces sprinkled about. The tables are comfy and the bar is smack tab in the middle with all it's adult beverage majesty and big tv screens above the alcohol as well as on the walls. I do have questions about the huge and interesting mural but that's another topic. My waiter was awesome; he knew the menu backwards and forwards offering great suggestions and substitutions. For example, he said he would know what level of heat to recommend to us after we ate the salsa. He was phenomenal and really did set the table, pun intended, of great things to come. Now, I'm not a big day time drinker however my girlfriend got a cocktail and went on and on how great it was in terms of balance with tropical fruits and alcohol levels. Our chips and salsa were perfect and I believe I saw some charring of the tomatoes. Moreover, I can't eat spicy food for health reasons so I was happy I could indulge in America's favorite condiment with perfectly crispy chips that gave me a salty kiss. Now I don't dig on queso dip very much but this version was outstanding as it wasn't like that Velveeta crap a lot of restaurants pass off as dip but a good cheese blend. Moreover, there chipotle adobo offered such a perfect earthy but tolerable heat I found myself "double dipping", but hey if my female friend can kiss me, she can deal with my used chip going for another skinny dip in the gooey cheese. They said it has Pico de Gallo but it's just a sprinkle; not an issue just a note. Finally the cornbread was an unexpected but lovely addition. It's pretty basic, but hey, I'm from Charleston SC so I'm not complaining and at it up with a bunch of the butter. For the main course, the lady ordered the shrimp ceviche. It was an extremely light and refreshing dish with a barley discernable note of heat. The citrus perfectly macerated (to cook without heat but with acid, hence how ceviche is "cooked") shrimp. The avocado mango relish provided a sharp sweetness and a soft creamy texture to balance the crunch and dull heat of the pickled red onions. The cilantro pesto was fresh, habanero and tomato played their backup parts beautifully. As for my dish I ordered the mushroom enchiladas. As I was making my order, my waiter suggested adding in chicken and spinach and so I figured it was time to negotiate. I retorted with shrimp and spinach? My waiter was all over it, complimenting me on my desires. This is a prime example of being extremely customer oriented and I "ate it all up," pun intended. The corn tortillas were perfectly cooked but gave way to the earthy mushrooms and I believe my shrimp provided a good resistance to the mouth as I chewed. The mole which a stable of central American cooking comprising of over 30 intricate ingredients were balanced and elevated the dish to levels that brought a tear to my eye. The Mango relish was as I previously stated while the sour cream really brought the dish together. I don't dig on beans but my girlfriend ate roughly 5 bites so that's a good sign. That said the rice was phenomenal as it wasn't a traditional red rice with a dominate lard flavor from being sautéed yet more grounded as it tasted like it was cooked in a mushroom stock. Be prepared it's a great interpretation of the staple of the Mexican themed experience. Overall, I was blown away by my experience b/c to quote Simon Cowell from America's Got Talent, "I wasn't expecting that." The atmosphere, the waiter, the adult beverages and the food, everything worked in harmony to provide an upscale adventure at a modest cost. If you want to step out of the traditional Tex Mex faire and "live a little," I invite you to run over there and get a table, now. Why are you still reading, go get a table!

Love this place. Their happy hour makes it addicting. $5 house margaritas and reduced price on select apps. I've always been seated quickly and served immediately. The food is quick to come out and is fabulous! You start with this cute baby cast iron skillet of cornbread with butter and the meal progresses from there. The shrimp tostada app is my absolute favorite appetizer.

Service was super slow, it wasn't the waiters fault at all. It took the bartender 10 mins to make a pineapple jalapeño margarita. Then the appetizer took almost just as long as the drink. We order the shrimp tostada bites. And it was literally luke warm shrimp on a corn tortilla chip, with a piece of avocado and chipotle sauce. For the entrees we ordered the Navajo taco, the chicken had no flavor and it has sautéed spinach on it. The next entree was the catfish tacos, with another big slice of avocado on it. Don't get me wrong, avocado is amazing but just plain and just for a filler just isn't working. I would not return, the price is not worth the food. We were hopeful with the reviews. And no it wasn't busy. Maybe 4 tables.
