" I had high hopes for Trudy's, but I found it to be just okay. While the service was quite friendly, the food did not impress. The rice was very bland, and I felt the portions were smaller than expected for the price. Maybe it was just an off day? I might give it another shot down the line. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is everything I love about Tex-Mex! Everything from the chips and salsa to the tamales was authentic and delicious! The margaritas were also impressive! We sat on the patio for dinner, and the atmosphere was just delightful. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, which enhanced our experience. Can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m so glad I gave Trudy's another chance! The lime marinated flaquities were fantastic! The flavor was spot on and paired perfectly with their house-made salsa. The staff was accommodating and helped us with all our questions. The conjunto music in the background added to the vibrant vibe. This spot is lively and fun while still being laid back, making it an excellent place for a casual outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been going to Trudy's for years, and it’s still one of my top spots in Austin. The breakfast buffet is unmatched! I love all the options, from chilaquiles to their classic migas. My friends and I made a weekend ritual of it. Service is always a 10/10; the staff is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for great brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Trudy's for dinner last night, and it was a mixed bag. While the ambiance was pleasant and the margaritas were excellent, the food left me longing for more. The enchiladas lacked that punch I expected. The service was friendly and accommodating, but overall I expected better from a place with such a good reputation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Trudy's North Star is a gem in the city! The cheerful staff and the vibrant ambiance made for a lovely dinner out. I tried their sizzling fajitas, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion and flavor. Definitely got my money's worth! A great spot for date night or a fun gathering with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to frequent Trudy's years ago and decided to visit again recently. The changes in the menu were noticeable; they took away some of the items I loved. The stuffed avocados were still good, but everything else seemed different—like, not in a good way. The service was solid and my server was attentive, which is why I gave a higher rating. I will return but may just stick to drinks next time. " (*Curated Review*)
