Z'Tejas

Living in Austin for my whole life, I tend to forget some staples like ZTejas. I am Celiac and had called ahead. I felt pretty confident with the host's answer regarding dietary protocols. Our server Michael is hands down the BEST server in the entire Austin area and beyond. We eat out at restaurants 3-4 times a week and are blown away by Michael's level of service. He is very entertaining, a perfect host who ultimately cares about the diner's experience and knows what is tasty. Plus he knows a Celiac conversation and already speaks to it, leaving me with a huge sigh of relief. He recommended the mushroom and spinach enchiladas and while that would have never been on my radar, I took him up on his suggestion. That is how fast I trusted this guy. The enchiladas were so so goooood! And they were light enough and filling. They have homemade sauces which are super good. Off-limit items are anything fried (not a dedicated fryer). No chips for me but they offer veggies for the queso.

No GF menu as of August, corn tortillas are safe, careful with other things

Knowledgable staff, dedicated GF menu with interesting choices.

There were three GF options on the menu, two fish, one vegetarian. Flavor was good and I did not get sick, the limited options were disappointing.

Great food, but small menu would be easy for them to add more

Great food and atmosphere. I recommend the mushroom enchiladas with black beans.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Simply awesome. While they don't have a GF menu, both the manager and chef got involved in making sure my meal was safe. The chef recommended alternative ingredients to the dish I wanted so it would be safe for me. Great tasting food. Zero problems or complaints.

Too few items in menu for GF, many options could easily be made without gluten, they just don't bother. Other than the very limited selection the place is ok.
