Great selection of food and drinks. The Mexican martini yielded 3-4 servings in a martini glass. Borracho beans are excellent with bacon as a side. I preferred the green salsa over the red one.
Get the pastor fajitas. There is an option for a 1.5 order. Perfect for two. The pork is cooked perfectly; and comes with onions, peppers and pineapple. Yum!
Try the Tingua Suiza Relleno - Delicious tinga (shredded meat with savory sauce) in chile relleno covered with suiza (creamy queso). Don't think of the calories-- just enjoy!!
Trudy's is always consistent. There are many delicious items on the menu. The Pastor (pork) Fajitas are my favorite! Managers and staff are seasoned professionals.
Most people don't know this, but in addition to having an awesome normal menu, Trudy's offers an AMAZING buffet brunch on Sunday until 2PM... Migas, Waffles, Omelette's, ALL YOU CAN EATBACON!
Barbara Shallue of Long Hollow blog said Trudy’s is the best of Austin Tex-Mex. “Everything I’ve tried is yummy, but they’re famous for the stuffed avocado, and their Mexican martinis are amazing”.
Migas, brunchwaffles, fish tacos, suiza smoked chicken enchiladas, queso especial, margaritas, flan, martinis. Still favorites. Service can be spotty, parking is worse. Go at off times.
Much better atmosphere than the campus location! More spacious and not as noisy so your conversations don't need to include shouting and repeatedly asking "what?"
Beware....they cut you off at 2 Mexican martinis and they aren't even strong. So just buy a couple of beers and a couple of shots and get a better buzz.
Service is crap, as usual. Why do I come here? Location and hours makes this place the most convenient place to go after a performance. That said, I'm so used to it being crappy that I don't care:)
This place has really lost something... It's like the restaurant considers it a privilege that YOU get to come here and not the other way around like it use to be. Not excited when I come here anymore
