South Congress has lost one of its most familiar spots, but it is being replaced by another legacy Austin brand from the same parent company.
South Congress Cafe, which opened at 1600 S. Congress Ave. in 2003, has closed, but taking its place is Trudy's Del Mar, a coastal Tex-Mex restaurant spinoff from longtime Austin staple Trudy's.
The new seafood-centric restaurant will open Dec. 29, serving a menu that features daily-catch Veracruzana; seared tuna garnished with grilled pineapple pico; and surf and turf fajitas, along with tacos, botanas and more.

Trudy's, which opened in 1979, is under the direction of new CEO Dan Smith. He came onboard with new owners, North Carolina-based private equity firm Hargett Hunter Capital Management LLC, which bought Trudy's out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy for $6.5 million in 2020.
