| - We were in the neighborhood and decided to try Z'Tejas Southwestern Grill for lunch and were super glad we did as it was an excellent meal!
Ambiance & Decor.
- Very nicely decorated in, naturally, a Southwestern style. Although it is a fairly large room and was getting fairly busy by the time we left, it was not noisy at all. Very nice!
Food.
- The buttermilk corn bread is superb! Served in a small skillet with a side of butter it is airy and really, really good. As yummy as it is though, I do wish they would offer a jalapeƱo or green chili version.
- Based on our waitresses recommendation, I had the Diablo Pasta (spinach & red pepper linguine, spicy cream sauce, Cotija cheese, and jalapeƱos) - and I had to agree with her it was VERY good - and VERY rich.
- The better 1/2's Five-cheese Macaroni & Achiote Chicken (Jack, cheddar, Parmesan, Romano & bleu cheese, bacon gratin) was also delicious - and also pretty decadent.
Service.
- We got off to a bit of slow start when the hostess tried to sit us right next to the service area where at least 10 staff members were conducing business, but our request for a quieter table was readily & happily agreed to (but we should not have had to ask as it was not busy at when we got there). Our server while very friendly, and knowledgeable could have been a bit more attentive. A manager walked by to check on things - which I always take as a good sign!!
We are already looking forward to our next visit!
