Trudys

Austin, TX 78758

Trudy’s in north Austin (one of three Trudys) is a bit on the trendy side for someone who like linoleum floors and Formica table tops, but if you like good Tex-Mex and don’t mind the trendy, Trudy’s is the place. Their tacos were hot and fresh. They came in a smothered with shredded lettuce and cheese, and the shells were crispy. Tasty but not spicy. I tried to spice them up with the salsa, but no-go. My dining companions selected from the appetizer menu. Their food looked good and they all seemed to enjoy it. Interesting thing about Trudy’s bar; the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission won’t let you have more than two drinks at a time….Trudy’s will only let you have one! For a Tex-Mex restaurant, they do have a decent selection of beer,,,20 on draught. Trudy’s food is good and the service is decent. Expect long waits (especially Tuesday night), but you can always go to the bar and have one of their Mexican Martinis, but I think they’ll only let you have one.
