    Z Tejas Scottsdale is our long time favorite for great Tex Mex food and outstanding margaritas. Chef Danny and his team have a menu of great and enjoyable food and drinks. Manager Paul always greets us with a smile and his team of Bri, Carrie Ann, Alissa, Eddie, Robert and Tre always seem happy to see us and make us feel at home. There are others on the team that we haven't met but I'm sure they measure up to the high standards one would expect and a delightful dining establishment. We love it here! Thanks for making our Easter brunch the best ever. The chicken waffle dish was the best we've ever had.

    Our dining experience was good. I enjoyed my food but others in our group thought it was ok. One comment was the BLU tacos were covered in too much sauce which made them a fork and knife entree similar to enchiladas. The tempura shrimp and calamari appetizer was pretty good.
