The story of Trudy’s doesn’t start with food, although our scratch-made Tex-Mex and signature cocktails are certainly noteworthy.
To know Trudy’s, you have to meet our people.
You’d have to meet Esperanza, who ran the place when we first opened in 1977. You’d have to know Trudy, who took over the restaurant and inspired its name. You’d have to meet each and every one of the people who make this place what it is. The people we call family.
And if you’ve ever set foot in Trudy’s, you’re part of that family. This is the kind of joint where everyone knows your name, and your drink order.
It’s the kind of place you come back to with your own family and friends, time and time again. The spirit of Trudy’s is our loyal team and customers.
The people celebrating a win around a dish of loaded queso. The people winding down after a long day, or winding up for a fun night. The people who just enjoy a great meal. The people making those meals from scratch, back in the kitchen.
Authentic, homemade Tex-Mex is what put Trudy’s on the map. But it’s the people who make Trudy’s the true star that it is.
