by Jordan H. on The best Tex-Mex in Austin. Whether you're stopping by for drinks, gulping down a delcicious meal, or both, Trudy's will exceed your expectations and more. First and foremost- come early. If you love waiting around for your table with a pager, Trudy's can provide your fix. For all normal people who dislike waiting, be savvy. Come early. If there isn't a spot in the main dining area, head towards the bar area. There is full-menu service back there along with comfortable seating and TV's. The interior design of Trudy's isn't overly unique. Definitely fits the bill of "the classier resteraunt on campus". Relax- it's still Austin. Wear what you please. You might even go home with one of the many rotating pieces of ultra-cool handmade art that cover the interior walls. The drinks are top notch. I recommend coming in on Monday to take advantage of 5 dollar Mexican martinis- a classically seasonless Austin beverage. Try it here.. It may be the most perfect mexi martini you'll ever find. Tequila snobs will enjoy a broad selection of agave to choose from as well. The limit of two shakers per person might seem fascist.. but every good thing has to end at some point. Options such as the Hondo Burrito allow for an extremely flexible user-friendly dining experience similar to an extensive create-your-own enchilada dish type of gig. The spinach quesadillas are terrific for a lighter meal that satisifies, while the Botana sampler hits the spot serving as a gut-busting meal that will likely end in you asking for a to-go box. Despite the obvious appearance of an Austin Tex-Mex & margarita establishment, few are aware of the high quality breakfast Trudy's provides. There is never a huge crowd for breakfast or brunch.. at least, when compared to the dinner crowds. I personally recommend their eggs benedict, however I have never tasted anything I didn't like. The breakfast and lunch menu even features a section of smaller "lite" portions which proves to attract a lot of attention to diet-conscious folks or those with a lesser appetite. The waitstaff is eclectic, funky, young, and energetic. They are always helpful, despite a very clear menu. While most of the staff's faces change fairly frequently, there are a couple of employees who have worked here for 10-15+ years. I have frequented Trudy's for almost 20 years and have never had a bad experience. Go.
by James L. on So what're the great things about Thursday nights at the new Cal Academy of Sciences? It's $10 to get in, and not the usual $25. You get to avoid the weekend/tourist crowds and the screaming kids and/or overly territorial parents. It's a great place to hang out, chill, learn a few basic facts, and people watch. The prices in the cafe are definitely "museum prices," but they're not as bad as you might expect. My small dinner consisted of some tasty-as-hell vegetarian buns filled with very fresh, crunchy/juicy buna-shimeji mushrooms, a chocolate cookie intensely flavored with lots of real cocoa powder, and a bottle of juice. $10.50. Not super-filling, but not a rip-off either, and it was good quality. My only gripe with the cafe is that with all the "go green" messages the Academy promotes, you'd think their cafe wouldn't be handing out thousands of disposable plates/cups. Really, I don't need a second paper plate just to keep my cookie from touching my dinner. The subtraction of one star is due to the fact that the crowds can be unappealingly large, even on a weeknight. The nature of the Academy is such that people tend to be nicer and more open in the relaxing/intellectual setting, but the crowds are still large enough that there are plenty of jaded urbanites around to give you unwanted doses of stank-eye. (As other reviewers have pointed out, buy your tickets EARLY and online.) Still, I have to admit that in a sense I'm glad to see the crowds because it's not shopping malls but important cultural/educational spaces like these that deserve the revenue and popularity. The only real negative about the Academy is that the you wish there was more to it: More animals, more exhibits, more substance. If you're a biology nerd/hippie like myself you won't be learning anything mind-blowing here, and it's easy to walk through the whole building and then go: "Okay, now what?" Still, in the end, it's great fun. Good food to eat; stunning animals; a gorgeous space filled with some beautiful people; a place to share your love of the planet with others; and oh yes, a cool DJ spinning some respectable beats for all the bespectacled nerds, eco-moms, gay guys, straight guys in gay clothing, cougars on the prowl, Asians, hippies, hot messes waving their Prada clutches, guys holding their beer bottles like security blankets, and recessionistas to get down to. Long live SF!
