Trudy's North Star

Went there yesterday with friends and had a great experience. Been there a few times but had an awesome waitress name Cera, this time. Told her I was gonna give her a good review so she made sure I knew it was Cera with a C. Awesome name, awesome service. She was so polite and did her best to make sure we were all satisfied. Will definitely start coming back to this location. Alot better energy there now

Well I have been going to Trudy's north for 10 years. I went tonight our waitress was terrible she kept rushing us out the door,did not want to get more chips and basically took our queso before we were done..... Im a waitress and she sucked..... Not only that the food runner who dropped off our food almost dropped fajtias on my lap.....im sorry but he had to be on drugs....he was scary!! Come on now this was ridiculous and I dont plan on ever going back thanks.

I've been coming to Trudy's for years, normally for a special occasion because they have the famous Mexican Martini, and a free one on your birthday.



The parking here fills up fast but if you're coming at dinner a lot of the other businesses in the lot are closed, which opens up some spots. Just be ready to park on the other side of the lot and walk a little bit.



The building itself is pretty cool- it has a lounge feel, the upstairs bar is good for small groups. The outside patio still has pretty good climate control. The booths are huge! It gets pretty loud inside, and you can expect a pretty long wait for dinner Thursday- Saturday.



The atmosphere is fun- perfect for parties or group dinners. I like this location better than the one near campus because you don't have quite so many drunk college students.



I pretty much stick to the same order every time- Stuffed Avacado with suiza sauce, refried black beans and rice. This entree is soooo good. I'm always a little surprised at how spicy the sauce is (not to mention the complementary salsa), but nothing a Dr Pepper can't handle.



I just recently tried the weekend brunch and was pleasantly surprised. I normally don't like buffets at all. The salad bar is small but stocked with good stuff, and the homemade chipotle ranch is divine. The fruit was fresh and sweet. There's queso and tortilla soup available. On the hot buffet line, I tried a little bit of everything, but since I was there later, I didn't try as many of the breakfast items- there's migas, hashbrowns, and other breakfasty items. I reallly liked the mushroom enchiladas, mini stuffed poblano peppers and mini stuffed avacados. Then there's little dessert items, including flan, tres leches, cobbler, and cookie squares. I tried the cookie squares because I was really full after everything else.



The buffet was 11.95, including a drink. I normally get the stuffed avacado which is 11 alone, plus a drink. So I'd say that the buffet is a pretty awesome value for what you get.
