Great place! Food was plentiful and extraordinarily tasteful. Creative blend of seafood and traditional Mexican food. Try the Trudy grill and bring your appetite. Ceviche was a cornucopia of seafood, guacamole and mango, hit every taste bud.

We enjoyed the veggie queso and wine but the entrees were not good: Overcooked fish and soggy salads. I might come back for drinks and apps but that’s it. (Service was kind but hapless - server put wine on our table and left us to open it.)

Larry was great but the food was rather bland and the fish was supposed to be seared but was cooked all the way through to the point it was tough. We had high hopes but let down. It’s a new place so hopefully it’ll improve.

Larry our waiter was awesome. Food came out quick and was on point. Queso Del Mar and lobster tacos were legit. As usual the mex marts were classic! Highly recommend

Terrible food. Nor worth the cost. Go to Perlas up the street if you want seafood and spend around $15 more and you will be just fine.

Delicious food, but terrible noisy environment. Needs better acoustics in building, was wayyyy too loud in a small room to enjoy conversation. Could be improved there. My guests said they wouldn’t return for that reason solely. Screaming drunk tables echoing over one another didn’t make us not want to rush out of there after our food arrived. Was a mood killer for sure.

I was suspicious trying this out because I was such a fan of South Congress Café. However Trudy’s has done an amazing job of renovating not only the physical space but also creating the new menu. My tuna bowl salad was fantastic. An amazing value in a beautiful presentation. Delicious! It is still super noisy so be prepared. Our server was even willing to move us when we had a yelly table next to us. Look forward to returning and trying out the back patio.

The food is incredible- and the service too. Lighting a little too bright, not enough energy at the bar. I hope they get it figured out because the food, service and location are so good.
