Sunday Brunch

Craig returned from his Texas roadtrip late Saturday night. I was a little pent up after spending the week by myself with the rain and Saby, so we decided to break out of our normal routine Sunday morning and try a new restaurant. We're creatures of habit and usually dine at the same neighborhood joints week after week, but I remembered a friend had recommended Z Tejas to me three years ago. We've been looking for a restaurant in that general location to meet friends since it's about halfway between our houses, so we headed there to give it a test drive!



The restaurant was decorated with sophisticated Southwestern decor. I loved this cool glass sculpture behind our table. They were serving brunch on Sunday, but the menu fortunately included breakfast and lunch entrees which was good since I'm not a real breakfast fan.


I ordered the chicken enchiladas and they were fantastic! I consumed it so fast, I didn't notice the Z sauce decoration until I looked at the photo!


Craig decided on the breakfast Jack Chicken Quesadilla and it was just as good!



Mine came with their signature cornbread. I let Craig have half, and he split his banana nut muffin with me. The cornbread was really good!

We definitely picked a winner and found a great meeting place for the next time our friends are in town. But I'm fairly sure we won't wait until then! : )

well, I am glad you like Z tijas. I have been to the one in Tempe and the one here in Paradise Valley a few times each. I have not been thrilled with the menu. Probably because everything has bell peppers in it. I hate bell peppers. Chili's are good, but there is soemthing with all belll peppers that make me gag. Anywho, your stuff looked yummy. Maybe we will try it again sometime.

Chrissy, I didn't see a single bell pepper! LOL The food definitely wasn't authentic Mexican, for sure! I'd love to go back and try the salads. It was a nice break from Joe's Farm Grill and Casa Blanca. : )

Sue, the rain is over and I think the pond in the side yard has finally evaporated. There's a possibility of more rain this week. I think this could be the start of an El Nino winter?

Yummo that looks fantastic Beck! We don't have any Mexican restaurants here.
