 About Z Tejas Austin Central
Our 6th Street location, the first Z Tejas, is located in a charming turn-of-the-century Victorian home.
This Z Tejas
is conveniently located in downtown Austin,
close to many
businesses and
leisure
activities, and features a large
patio for outdoor dining. Z Tejas
on 6th Street is a popular Austin destination and in 1999 celebrated it's 10th year. A
recent expansion has added a treetop bar as well as banquet and special events facilities that can accommodate up to 70.

 It all started
in a little
place in
Austin, Texas
where four
friends, who
were also
chefs, agreed
to disagree.
These
chef/friends
had come
together to
create a new
dining
experience and
to open their
first
restaurant, Z
Tejas Grill
Austin.
In developing
the menu, one
chef enjoyed
cooking with a
Southwestern
flair. A
second
preferred the
Cajun and
Creole flavors
of New
Orleans. The
other two
chefs prepared
their recipes
with the
creativity and
freshness of
California. Soon, the chefs of Z' Tejas Grill
began to borrow and share ingredients and recipes with each other that created a cuisine we've dubbed "Dining South by Southwest" and result in the flavors you'll find
at Z' Tejas Grill. At Z' Tejas Grill, we pride ourselves on having a menu that has something for everyone. You can come in for lunch or dinner, or share appetizers
at the bar with friends while enjoying our famous frozen margaritas.
Z Tejas
offers
different
menus
for
lunch
and
dinner,
so join
us for
either
or both! |

 Chef Jack Gilmore
I've worked in kitchens for 22 years. From the gulf coast of Texas and Louisiana to the desert of Arizona. I started at Z' Tejas in Austin nine years ago. My philosophy
of cooking was very simple - put together everything you have learned and use it. Be humble when it does not work out and be glad when it does. I try to make all our
guests satisfied. It is great when eight different people come in and every one orders something different and all is enjoyable. What
others say about Z Tejas Austin
"Brunch is a must at Z' Tejas, off Far West Boulevard near Arboretum shopping. The menu has a strong breakfast flavor (Cajun ham omelet, for example) and
Southwestern selections (such as crispy catfish beignets with jalapeno tartar sauce.) Eat your heart out as you look out over the Hill Country through huge windows."
-The Dallas Morning News
Z' Tejas is innovative yet unpretentious, and reasonably priced, with a unique, fresh taste that tantalizes the palate. For a dining experience that's truly
different, Z' Tejas Grill offers the best of high fashion food served in the laid-back environment Austinites have come to love."
-Experience Austin
"Z' Tejas has one of the most interesting, appetizing menus in town. It's not just that the dishes have catchy names and intriguing ingredients. It's that no matter
what your mood or appetite level there's something that's bound to please."
-Austin American-Statesman |
