Kyle will be adding another location to its collection of restaurants. This one is coming from Austin, but fans will have to wait until 2023 to grab a bite. Z-Tejas will start construction of the Kyle location at 18900 I-35 on September 1, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
"We are building another Z and we are excited about it," said Z-Tejas owner and chief energizing officer Randy Cohen. "Kyle needs a sit down restaurant, so it's booming."
Z-Tejas features "Southwest cuisine with a Mexican twist" and currently has four active locations, two in Austin and two in Arizona. Cohen said the company began in 1989 and was started by the group that also created P.F. Chang's and Hopdoddy Burger Bar.
Cohen added that there used to be close to 30 Z-Tejas restaurants at one point. At this time, Z-Tejas hasn't made any plans to keep heading down I-35 to San Antonio.
The filing says the construction is expected to be done by June 30, 2023 with an expected cost of $2.5 million. The new building will be a 4,800-square-foot stand-alone restaurant.
Z-Tejas serves up soups, salads, fajitas, enchiladas, burgers, street tacos, and desserts. They have a happy hour daily from 3 to 6 p.m. and have live music over the weekends. Z-Tejas also serves a brunch menu for guests.
