Z’Tejas opening new location in Kyle

KYLE – Kyle Economic Development is announced that Z’Tejas Southwest Grill will open a new location in Kyle in late 2022.

During the Monday, Dec. 6th Kyle City Council meeting, council awarded Z’Tejas the city’s first restaurant incentive by approving a 100% sales and property tax rebate for the first three years.

Recognizing the need for upscale dining opportunities in Kyle, this incentive was created by the City Council to fill a gap in the community and Z’Tejas’ concept met the goals and purpose of the incentive program. The restaurant will initiate an approximate $4 million capital investment in the Kyle area and create 50+ new jobs.

“As Kyle continues to expand, residents want not only more dining options, but more unique options,” Mayor Travis Mitchell said. “And we are thrilled for Z’Tejas to be awarded the very first restaurant incentive and choosing to locate in the City of Kyle with a unique and elevated concept.”

Z’Tejas will offer the City of Kyle an upscale dining experience with its chef-driven menu that showcases dishes inspired by the Southwest and Mexico. This is the concept’s third open location in Texas, and fifth nationwide. Like its newest restaurants in Scottsdale and Avery Ranch, Arizona, this location will feature a sleek, modern design with an open dining room and a large bar as the focal point.

The restaurant will be approximately 4,500 square feet inside with a 2,000 square feet wrap-around patio. The Kyle location will be in the Dry River District, a mixed-use commercial development anchored by Evo Entertainment and Home Depot, and will be the first property that Z’Tejas owns outright — a milestone for the company.

“This is an incredibly momentous project for our company because we are in complete ownership and control of this location from the very start,” Z’Tejas CEO Robby Nethercut said. “We’re excited to join a new community and spread the spirit of Z to the citizens of Kyle.”
