Nestled between East Austin neighborhoods, Este celebrates fresh seafood, Mexican cuisine, and charcoal cooking. From the team behind the East 6th favorite, Suerte, Chef Fermin and restaurateur Sam Hellman-Mass are taking their love for masa coastal.

In a location with a rich history, Este’s bright dining spaces, artisan decor and spacious outdoor deck bring the energy of seaside towns to East Austin. An extensive wine list and vibrant coastal-inspired cocktails are the perfect pairing for aguachiles, ceviches, oysters y otros mariscos!

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: From 2024 James Beard semifinalist and acclaimed Suerte chef Fermín Núñez, this chill seafood spot is all about mariscos—think shrimp aguachiles, tuna tiradito, and oysters splashed with salsa negra. The light and airy space features white rafters and hanging plants, and happy hour spills out onto a big back deck. All of it landed Este on Bon Appétit and Esquire’s best new restaurant lists in 2023.

    Our tasting menu experience at Este was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. Every dish showcased the perfect balance of Mexican coastal flavors, fresh ingredients, and creative execution, paired with impeccable service. Every plate was thoughtfully presented, and the staff's passion for the menu made the whole experience feel extra special. "Este" is a must-visit for anyone looking to discover elevated Mexican food.

    Great meal - went with group so got to share and try many things. Enjoyed all the food, but the camarones were the least favorite of the group. Bluefin Tuna and waygu ribeye (cachetada) tacos were favorites.

    We always enjoy dining at Este. We love the whole Turbot and unfortunately they were sold out this time and we had to branch out and try some new dishes. I’m glad we did because they were fabulous! I had the cod (PESCADO A LA CREMA) and my husband tried the pork (COCHINITA PIBIL). We started with the Tuna Tiradito, which we have enjoyed before and it was remarkable. The crispy leeks make a nice touch! Looking forward to going back and trying something new again!

    Pescado de la cream was phenomenal and the saladito margarita was one of the best margaritas I have ever had. Highly recommend dining at Este.

    Don’t miss the shrimp grilled, and the new Aztec Keylime pie equivalent is amazing. You can’t go wrong with any of the dishes there. We missed the corn dessert!

    It was our first visit and we were not disappointed, but probably won’t drive over there again. The noise level was way too high. I don’t know why some restaurants don’t use simple techniques to reduce sound. It’s not good for digestion or dinning enjoyment when you’re yelling at your table mates!!! We’re we’re only three at a four top and we all had to hunch over the table to hear to hear the conversation. We had to ask our waiter to repeat a few times!!
