    I had a party of 8 for a special birthday and dropped off cake and an orchid plant earlier in the day with specific instructions to place the plant on the table where the guest of honor would sit along with reserving that specific seat for him. Neither was done. Without the orchids, it didn’t look festive. As a result, the guest of honor had to sit at the end of the table rather than the middle. This might not sound like a big deal, but I’ve been in the hospitality business for a long time and this was an avoidable guest disappointment. I’d also say the waiter, while nice and accommodating, didn’t have a grasp on all menu items. Training is so important!

    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.

    It’s been great every time we have eaten there. The servers are friendly & very good at making sure you have everything you need to enjoy your dinner experience. The female blonde bartender is so excellent at recognizing us and remembers exactly what beer my husband always orders! We always feel comfortable there every time we visit.

    My husband and I enjoyed our dinner, Z Queso to start, just the right amount of spice and Santa Fe enchiladas and mushroom enchiladas for our dinner, two of our favorites. Their Chambord margaritas never disappoint although not as frozen as they were at their previous location, Tatum and Shea. They had their patio doors open which helped with the higher noise level that we’ve experienced in the past. We went earlier than usual so it was not as crowded as well. Although we were in and out in alittle over an hour, we had to ask our waiter twice for our drinks and check. But we really enjoy the food so we will be returning.

    we had a great night with three and five dollar margaritas celebrating national margarita day. They're also is a great special for 19.99. You get a beverage and appetizer and an entrée. The food was delicious.

    we really enjoyed our lunch. The shrimp tostada bites are just incredible. The tacos were delicious. We sat outside near the water area and it was so pretty. The waitress was attentive and friendly, and I am looking forward to going back again.

    The lobby was packed with folks looking to get seated. There was NO ONE at the host station to seat people or explain what the holdup was. Tables were not getting bussed and servers were over-whelmed.
