Sara LovellOctober 11, 2014Great 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.
Ryan HelmsApril 27, 2014Get 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!
Steve FaddenJanuary 6, 2013Try 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!!
Great margaritas - always a generous "pour." Also love the chile rellenos- try smoked chicken and cheese with suiza sauce- Sarah HibbardDecember 27, 2018Amazing happy hour prices and authentic sauces that will leave you needing more of those $1 drinks!
Jason LesterJuly 15, 2013Trudy'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.
GourmetLiveMarch 17, 2011Barbara 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”.
You know what's surprisingly DELICIOUS?!? That Gorgonzola Cream salad dressing. Touch of tarragon. A little goes a long way. Fantastic!
Maxine OlefskyAugust 9, 2013Love the 4 dollar house margaritas. Perfect way to cool off during the summer while getting some cheap tex mex nomz.
- Stephen RoyAugust 23, 2010Most 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 EAT BACON!
Jessica HuffMarch 12, 2013Parking can get rough during peak hours, but the food is great! Enchiladas don't taste fake & the stuffed avocado is amazing!
Julian PaulJanuary 19, 2014The mojitos are made with fresh muddled mint and simple syrup...not a mix. Cuban style and I was riding high all night
Valerie FigueroaNovember 5, 2013The house Margarita's are the same as the house Mexican martini except they are cheaper and can have more :)
MeichenAugust 7, 2014Much 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?"
LadyJupiter.comAugust 21, 2016Mexican martini & street corn make a great dinner when you want a lot of flavor and a lot of booze. Yum.
Migas, brunch waffles, fish tacos, suiza smoked chicken enchiladas, queso especial, margaritas, flan, martinis. Still favorites. Service can be spotty, parking is worse. Go at off times.
Samantha LayMarch 14, 2016Absolutely love eating there. Go for your birthday and get a free martini mmmm....
Carter BaileyApril 11, 2014Stuffed Avocado, Mexican Martini, breakfast bar. Every time I visit Austin, I go to Trudy's. It's that good!
get the stuffed avocado with queso and refried black beans. and don't forget your mexican martini!
Claire MorrisAugust 25, 2011New on the menu are the Tinga Queso Verdes enchiladas. Do yourself a solid and order some. You can thank me later.
marii thompsonSeptember 14, 2012Beware....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.
StephNovember 17, 2012If you want to sweeten a local favorite, order the Mexican martini with sugar on the rim.
The fried avocado entree is a bit off on it's chicken to avocado ratio but the mini avocados are perfect.
Glenn LindgrenJanuary 17, 2015Deep fried stuffed avocado. I know it sounds weird, but it tastes great.
Food used to be awesome, but after so many cost cutting changes it actually sux now. So disappointing for what used to be an awesome hangout.
When you have guests in town, you can't go wrong with the weekend breakfast buffet!
151 cuban mojito and a brownie a la mode (amy's mexican vanilla ice cream) is to die for
Carrie VossMarch 30, 2011We love love love Kasheta. She is the best server we've ever had there, and we go A LOT!
Kendra MonkJuly 22, 2010I know everybody likes the Mex martini, but my LOVE is the CUBAN martini! Try it. It's really a giant mojito...but yum!
- 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
Bonnye BauerleJune 28, 20118 per table limit. Not amazing for large groups. :/ two mexican martinis and you stop caring though. :3
Best mexican martini ever! Cannot find anywhere beat here
Linda MeadowcroftOctober 8, 2010Holy jeez. The jalapeno cilantro aioli is delicious enough to drink! The fried cheesecake is full of win!
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:)
michael wagnerApril 9, 2013Food was great (had the stuffed avocado)...but the service sucked, and the bartender with the beard was an asshole.
Travis ShirleyMarch 13, 2011Do yourself a favor and try the green chile chicken tacos, your life will never be the same!
