"It’s unclear whether the Mexican seafood restaurant from Austin Tex-Mex chain Trudy’s closed in late December 2022 or early January 2023, but we’ll include it here since it was announced this month. Ownership company Hargett Hunter Capital Management is holding onto the space and will open a new restaurant sometime this spring. The space had previously been Trudy’s other restaurant South Congress Cafe. and turned into Trudy’s Del Mar in December 2021." - Nadia Chaudhury

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.

Very nice, quiet, yet uplifting atmosphere. The mango, Orange glazed ceviche with guacamole and corn was very tasty. The Mexican Martini was delightful. The Pozole with pork, radish, hominy, and purple cabbage garnish was superb. We will definitely be back!

Brunch is amazing! We were able to get a table when a lot of other local breakfasts joints all had 25+ minute waits. Highly recommend the carrot cake French toast and of course the house tortilla chips and salsa are phenomenal!

I’ll start off with the service. Our waitress with pink frames was awesome! She was fun, outgoing, and really kind. 5 stars!!! The food leaves a lot to be desired. The martini and margarita were ok. The tacos were lackluster. Especially the $14 Lobster Taco. It was slim and overcooked. The presentation lacked. The happy hour tacos had a few slabs of meat. No flavor.

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 tried the Calamari and Shrimp Cocktail for our starters. Both were excellent. The Calamari was unique with the crispy breading they used and the fried jalapeños they had in addition to the standard squid rings and tentacles. It came with a sweet mango aioli and red salsa that paired perfectly with the dish and the jalapeños weren't spicy, but added great flavor. The shrimp cocktail had sweet cocktail sauce with perfectly cooked shrimp and a fruity pico de gallo. Finally, for the entree we shared the Del Mar fajita plate. It came with our choice of corn or flour tortillas, black or refried beans, cilantro lime rice, lettuce, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream on the side. For the main platter, it had grilled zucchini, squash, onions, bell peppers, lobster, bacon and jalapeño wrapped shrimp, sausage, lobster and steak fajita. All of the meats were seasoned perfectly and had great flavor. My favorite was the steak as it was so tender. It was definitely more than enough food for two people. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. I would recommend it. Next time I might try the seafood tacos. They sounded so good.

Good atmosphere fast service, waiter was very pleasant, helpful and courteous. No wait inside but patio seating was first come first serve. Patio looked like it had a fun vibe. Food was okay but pricey.
