Production
During the production of this episode, Geo Garcia, series creator, was busy at the time and had to hire a stand-in, so they had hired an at-the-time beginner Joe Feder. Feder recalls in an interview in 2003 promoting Zina/Garza "...I hadn't watched a single episode of Gabriel Garza back then. Not a single one. I didn't care for the series back then. It took me many episodes to realize that I had actually cared for the show. But in the episodes when I didn't care about the series, there was one that stood out. My first episode. This was my writing debut on television. Sure, I wrote some short films before Gabriel Garza, but this was my official debut. It wasn't too good. The episode was pretty rushed, and after watching it myself when it debuted, I felt so bad that I quit. The episode wasn't too bad, I felt bad that I didn't put any time into it, and so I quit the series for a couple years."

Reception
The episode was received neutrally, with mixed-to-negative reviews, mostly mixed.
