Z'Tejas Southwestern Grill

Casual restaurant with a bar on the first floor of South Coast Plaza. The jalapeno tartar sauce, served with the fish tacos and catfish beignets, is excellent. Happy hour every day from 4-7 p.m. with half-price appetizers, $1 off margaritas, well drinks, beer and wine by the glass. The restaurant also has a gluten-free menu. Zagat rates the food 17 out of 30. (Jit Fong Chin)
