Editorial Review for Trudy's Texas Star Restaurant & Bar – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
This originial location of what is now an Austin staple has served award-winning migas, salsa and margaritas since 1977. A large Tex-Mex and Southern menu satisfies veggie lovers and carnivores, including spinach quesadillas and sizzling beef, chicken and portobello fajitas. Tables are packed under beamed ceilings to maximize the small space, so many get there early to save seats on the patio, where hip students and professionals linger over appetizers and drinks.

Trudy's is great. A fun casual place, w/cold beer, good margaritas, and HOT salsa. Parking is difficult when crowded, however seating was prompt. Breakfast is great here too.

Pros: Guacamole, HOT salsa

Cons: parking
