Trudy's North Star

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.

Amazing happy hour prices and authentic sauces that will leave you needing more of those $1 drinks!

Great margaritas - always a generous "pour." Also love the chile rellenos- try smoked chicken and cheese with suiza sauce

Mexican martini & street corn make a great dinner when you want a lot of flavor and a lot of booze. Yum.

Great spot for some pre-game drinks. Mexican Martini is tasty ????????

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 EAT BACON !

You know what's surprisingly DELICIOUS?!? That Gorgonzola Cream salad dressing . Touch of tarragon . A little goes a long way. Fantastic!

Love the 4 dollar house margaritas . Perfect way to cool off during the summer while getting some cheap tex mex nomz.

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”.

Stuffed Avocado , Mexican Martini , breakfast bar . Every time I visit Austin, I go to Trudy's. It's that good!

The mojitos are made with fresh muddled mint and simple syrup...not a mix. Cuban style and I was riding high all night

Parking can get rough during peak hours, but the food is great! Enchiladas don't taste fake & the stuffed avocado is amazing!

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.

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?"

New on the menu are the Tinga Queso Verdes enchiladas . Do yourself a solid and order some. You can thank me later.

The house Margarita 's are the same as the house Mexican martini except they are cheaper and can have more :)

Absolutely love eating there. Go for your birthday and get a free martini mmmm....

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.

get the stuffed avocado with queso and refried black beans . and don't forget your mexican martini !

Love the Mexican martini , but be careful if you get more than two.

Deep fried stuffed avocado . I know it sounds weird, but it tastes great.

Fried Avocado Stuffed w/ Chicken !!!! OMG best thing ever! GET IT!!!

Chicken stuffed mini avocados and Shrimp diablo

The brunch buffet is great! And cheap brunch drinks !

The fried avocado entree is a bit off on it's chicken to avocado ratio but the mini avocados are perfect.

Mexican Martini is really good here. So is the tortilla soup .

Do the avocado salsa as an appetizer . Tasty, cheap and refillable.

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:)

If you want to sweeten a local favorite, order the Mexican martini with sugar on the rim.

Best mexican martini ever! Cannot find anywhere beat here

Try the Green Chile Chicken Posole - Delicious soup with a spicy kick !

Great food and good service perfect combo

Mexican Martini 's are the best! Get the Skinny, save on the calories.

When you have guests in town , you can't go wrong with the weekend breakfast buffet !

Food was pretty good (queso , al pastor fajitas ), service wasn't.

Classic spot - get the Mexican martini

Great place for drinks! Food is pretty good as well .

151 cuban mojito and a brownie a la mode (amy's mexican vanilla ice cream ) is to die for

We love love love Kasheta. She is the best server we've ever had there, and we go A LOT!

I 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

come out on your birthday for a free drink with your i.d...best mexican martinis

Delicious food , friendly staaf

The Sunday brunch is awesome

Also. TWO MEXICAN MARTINIS ATE ENOUGH! What kinda lushes ARE you reviewers? Dang! ????

Holy jeez. The jalapeno cilantro aioli is delicious enough to drink! The fried cheesecake is full of win!

Do yourself a favor and try the green chile chicken tacos , your life will never be the same!
