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.

I heard so much about this place and finally tried it last week. I was so dissappointed. The margaritas were watered down and not strong at all. That's a Tex-Mex staple! You've got to get that part right! My enchiladas were forgettable. What's up with the corn all over everything? Our service was ok, very Austin. Don't think I'll ever go back unless a big group is headed there.
Pros: Longevity in Austin
Cons: Maybe the worst margarita I've ever had.

i have been going to trudys since I moved to Austin in 99. They have the best Marguaritas anywhere! They also have amazing veggie burgers and great green chile chicken tacos. If you have not been here you have to go!
Pros: margaritas, chicken tacos, veggie burgers
Cons: a little loud
