ZTejas Southwestern Grill

Ztejas is the place for first dates in Austin. So of course, Glenn has never taken me there. I'm a fan of southwestern cuisine (actually any food to tell you the truth) so when it was suggested we go there for Brunch....I said a "hells yea". Deliciousness and fattiness ensued.






















Fresh warm cornbread greets you while you wait for your food. Soft, moist, and it even had pieces of crunchy corn in it with each bite! Yummy! Especially with a ton of butter!

















Everyone except me ordered brunch. When you order brunch you get your choice of an apple bran muffin (which is to your left) or a banana nut muffin. The banana nut muffin was sweet but super soft and fresh. Glenn's apple bran muffin was TOO DELISH! It had chunks of carrots in it with a sweet cinnamon flavor. It was basically a fluffy carrot cake without the frosting. YUMMMY.

So while the guys got protein in a form of eggs, Diana decides to get the smoked chicken chile relleno: grilled poblano pepper stuffed with chicken, pecans, apricots, raisins, spices, and jack cheese served with picante sauce and black beans.

OMG. I've been wanting to try one since Bobby Flay made one on his show "Throw down with Bobby Flay". It was really good. The chicken was sweet from all the fruit pieces but you also got the heat from the spicy peppers! The cream cheese just enhanced the savory dish!

. Heavy meal but damn, was it good! The chicken inside the pepper was so tender! I couldn't stop eating this!

Now I understand why this is a date place...the food is freaking good! Aphrodisiac! Everyone in Austin has probably eaten here already but if you haven't, please check it out! Ztejas
