Food Review and Giveaway: Z Tejas


I am totally excited about this review and giveaway...I think I have been talking about it for a solid week. I hadn't been to Z Tejas in years, and was thrilled about going back. Z Tejas is a Southwestern style restaurant with a variety of things to choose from. I know I use to think that everything on their menu was fish...so not the case...check out their summer menu here.

I am a firm believer in customer service. It can make or break any experience you have. If the food is less that spectacular, it can make the food taste divine. Just a personal thought. From start to finish the staff at Z Tejas were courteous, helpful in going over the menu, and didn't miss a chance to refill Paul's Dr Pepper. It made me like the restaurant even before I tried all the scrumptious food.Oh me, oh my is right!! This corn bread looks as good as it tasted. I am totally addicted. I might just start craving this at Midnight (Don't say I didn't warn you Paul!).
This was my meal...Barbacoa Enchiladas...smothered in Green Chile. TOO die for!

This is Paul's meal...he got a Steak Burrito...not smothered.
AND this is seriously the #1 reason why you should go try Z Tejas on a Monday, are you ready? When you buy an entree, your child eats FREE!! I know, right?!This didn't even look like a kids meal to me. Does it to you? In case you were wondering, I totally stole her left overs and ate them for dinner. It was that good.Are you guys ready for the best part?
Z Tejas wants to give one of my readers
a $40 Gift Card...yup...$40.
Okay, and the other really fantastic part of this review is...my dessert! Peach-Berry Cobbler. Droooolling.
Which BTW, the variety changes every 3 or 4 days.


Okay so comment away ladies and gents.
Tell me what you love about Z Tejas.
Tell me you just need a hott date with your wife.
Tell me you have never tried it and want to.
Whatev.
Just comment, AND you will be entered for 40 freakin' dollars to Z Tejas!

Oh, and I am going to offer an extra 5 points to all my followers. Become one if you have to. ;) AND you don't have to leave extra comments...I know who all of you are.

Mmmmkay!
This giveaway ends August 2nd @ Midnight.

brandon and jakell said...

We saw that place a few weeks ago & wanted to try it, but didn't have time to stop in then, so glad you did a review on it...now I am really wanting to go! And after packing, mid-moving and chasing 5 kids everyday Brandon & I can so use a night out with some fab food!
crossing my fingers!

marci said...

Mmmm, I totally drooled over that Peach cobbler! Wow, everything you guys ordered looks delish! I've eaten there before with my old roommates for a b-day party and it was surprisingly good food! I didn't think I could find anything I'd like, but I did! You have the best giveaways!

Cal said...

I have never eaten there, but I want to and the only way that I will is if you give this to me! LOL... Looks yummy and I need a date with my hubs! Sorry, I would leave the kids at home though.
love ya

I tried Z Tejas year ago on a girls night. YUM. I would love to go back with my husband who I hardly EVER get to spend alone time with. Between work, and taking care of our 3 and 1 1/2 year old, we need to MAKE time for each other and this would be a good start. :)

Mostly Jessica said...

I want to go to that. I'll take Jessica there for dinner when I finally take her to see Harry Potter 6.

Marty said...

I want!! :D

Ry, Katie, Jack and Ella too! said...

Drooling just looking at the pictures!

Frieda Loves Bread said...

We have never been there...but could totally go for the smothered burrito!

Richter's said...

Don't have one of these in Wisconsin, but if I am lucky and win, When dale and I come and see you in August, maybe we all can go and try it out. together. If not well, it wasn't meant to be. Thanks for another giveaway...

Vanessa said...

I love their steak burrito! so YUMMY!

And...I'm a follower!

Jerilee E. said...

We DO need a hott date.. but since that won't be happenin' anytime soon we could go on a Monday and 2 of my kids could eat free!! Sounds like a great idea!

kendahl a. said...

Ohhhhhh NO! The cornbread! I'm not even pregnant and I crave the cornbread! Crap. Now I'm going to have to drive all the way up there and get me some freakin' cornbread, all because you posted a picture of it. I love that stuff.

Anonymous said...

oohhh gosh! Z Tejas is my favorite restaurant! Really really it is. That corn bread is amazing and so is the cobbler. I beg to go there! I'm following you now just so I can (hopefully) win. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Oh ya, and a big congratulations on the pregnancy! How fun :)

Krystal said...

So, I've never been there, but I would totally go... and I would probably order a kids meal, cuz Van's looks so delish (as does the cornbread... yum!) NOW, as to *why* I need this... (aside from being a poor new homeowner?) I haven't been on a date in a YEAR... (do I dare admit that??) exactly ONE YEAR ago last night to be specific... And that guy was a total JERK... he actually said to me: "you seem really smart, right? So why are you a teacher??" Date. Over. The. End. since then, I've been so buried in homework I haven't had time to breathe... so I really need a good excuse for a night out :)

I know I just won the yogurt,but I really need a date with my hubby. He works too much and his birthday is on the 5th and I know that he would LOVE the smothered burrito!!

-nick and whitley- said...

girl, you know i follow you! woo! i hope i win, i've never tried it!!

Kristina P. said...

We went there a few months ago, and the cornbread is to die for!

Nicole said...

Everything looks delicious. Congratulations on being pregnant! We are so happy for you. We are are also pregnant--eight weeks along. There has been some complications but I'm pretty sure that I'm sick enough now that the baby should be healthy. I would love to win this giveaway because the morning sickness makes it impossible for me to open the fridge, let alone cook a meal. Poor Kevin. I think our first pregnancy cost us like $8,000.00 in out to eat bills. But, Beth is soooooo worth it.

Camille said...

ok - even if I don't win the freakin' 40 dollars to ZTejas, I'm still going! If anything, for the corn bread! Slab on lots of honey butter and I'm sold! Love your reviews! :) (I believe I'm already a follower...)

Allred Family said...

Rachel Sue said...

Okay, how about I NEED a hot (free) date with my man AND I've never been there?

I'm hungry just thinking about it. . .

Tiffany said...

We have never been there! Your pics make me want to go there!! It would be lovely to go on a date Andrew and I haven't gone out for a while so that would be fun!

Michelle said...

I totally need a night out with Jason, but we're trying to save $ for a surprise for Jenna (which we aren't telling her about yet b/c it's still in the works)....anyway, Jason loves the food at ZTejas (as I do) and he's been so good to help me out these past few weeks with school and med changes.

Please, please, please pick me
