Trudy’s Tex-Mex
Trudy’s in Austin has made a comeback in a big, brunch-y way with some classic favorites, due to popular demand. Since 1988, this colorful spot has maintained its star in the Texas crown of staple “must-tries” for tourists as a true Tex-Mex hot spot. But in recent years, they had consolidated their restaurants into one flagship location and decided to prioritize their lunch and dinner menu.
“Unicorns” (aka ATX patrons) far and wide made their feelings known that the beloved brunch was truly missed and needed a revolution to bring it back!
The brunch buffet spread includes bestselling dishes like migas, chilaquiles, tostadas, loaded nachos, and quesadillas. Further added are other popular made-to-order specialty dishes, such as tres leches French toast, piled high with generous hash browns, eggs, bacon, beans, and of course, Texas queso. Their new creative and unique beverage crowdpleasers—IV bag frozen mimosas, in particular—have also been a fast hit to go with those legacy Trudy’s meals.
Come out to enjoy local artists’ prints on the walls, a tropical patio ambiance, and an impressive specialty tequila tasting bar upstairs.
