Trulucks is one of my faves, doesn’t matter if you are at the bar or in the dining area. The service is impeccable and I was lucky enough to get Grace as our server, my daughter nlaw and I remembered her from the bar area and she remembered us as well. We had a nice time and she was worth the 30% gratuity.

Perfect for a client dinner that needs to be a little more upscale than the normal Mexican restaurant. Really well thought out menu. Not the basic enchiladas, tacos, burritos.
