Trudy's Del Mar

I enjoyed everything about this restaurant. We had the candied bacon guacamole which was excellent. They also had other varieties of guacamole and queso that I can't wait to try. The tacos are good sizes and delicious. The Philly cheese steak taco is my favorite. The service is also exceptional. Larry took excellent care of us and everyone working there seemed very friendly.

Fantastic patio in the back of the restaurant, with two televisions and a bar with tables for seating as well. Not a large selection on the menu. Prices are a little lower than what you would expect on South Congress. nothing spectacular, the dishes are served with plenty of food. Most of the dishes are repetitious with the same items found on variable plates, such as roasted potatoes and mixed vegetables. The honey chicken is fantastic and enough for two people.

Food, service and ambiance was fuego! We got the top shelf and strawberry Mexican martini and both were fantastic. They gave both drinks with two two giant stuffed olives so if you don't care to eat these I'd suggest telling them to keep them. The tequila old fashioned I did not like. Too sweet. We got the tuna apatizer and was wonderful. I wished they'd have served this with spoons so I can enjoy more of the juice. Flavor was on point though. We ordered the Del Mar Grill which is basicalled everything. Lobster, shrimp, sausage, steak, veggies. It's served jafita style and I loaded mine up. Got the black beans on the refried as well. Highly recommend. Lastly gotthe decadent French toast 🥕 cake. Man was this amazing. The Amy's ice cream it's served with was off the chain.

We had the most magnificent time and dinner. We came from out of town to stay the night before our flight. We went to a couple other restaurants and found them to be too loud or not the atmosphere we were desiring. My husband had grown up in the Austin area so he recommended we go to Trudy’s cause we knew we would get good food and drinks and he was right on! We had the most magnificent waitress that was so attentive and sweet. We definitely recommend Trudy’s Del Mar off South Congress for great atmosphere, delicious food, wonderful drinks, and amazing service!

If I had a favorite meal this weekend it would hands down be here! When we called at 5pm on a Saturday, asking about seating for 8, we were not sure if they could accommodate. Not only did they seat us, the service was above fabulous. The food... OH THE FOOD... I'm still thinking about it. Best fish tacos, and guacamole I've had!!!!!!! We all left the restaurant raving about how the food was so so stinking great. Honestly it is the best place on the street! Run to Trudy's - you will not be disappointed!!!!
