Went to Z Tejas for Mother’s day. I’ve always assumed it was a pretentious, fru-fru place, and it turns out I was right!
One thing about pretentious restaurants, no matter how good something sounds, they always manage to find something to ruin it, some incongruous ingredient that indelibly stamps the chef’s unique perspective on the whole affair.
I settled on the Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
Medallions which is described as
pork tenderloin medallions stuffed with chorizo sausage, cheese, onion and poblanos in a roasted garlic cream sauce. Served with mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans and carrots.
It turns out that it was extremely good.
Pity there wasn’t enough there to feed an anorexic ant! The three medallions were about 2.5-3″ across and only had a .25″ thick ring of pork medallion left after the center had been hollowed out. Nonetheless, the pork was good, the stuffing inside was very good, the sauce complimented it nicely.
Good thing there was an ice cream shop nearby so I could fill up after dinner.
