Charming

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.

The service was slow, waited initsilly aboyut 8 minutes after seating to get drink order. Then we ordered food and the items shareable. Within a few minutes the table was over croweded with food, even where the server was requesting us to make room for more food. One point of the server is to magae how food is brought to the table. So a crowded table of food where everyone was reaching across others plates to try and get food and eat.. And the background music was trance/dance music. So the entire time it felt like we were at a rave. Despite these things, The food was actually good. I would recommend that you have no more thn 3 people at a table if doing sharable dinner

We had a reservation for 7:45 and although we showed up early, we were seated when we arrived at 7:30. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable about menu items, and friendly. The food was delicious but we felt it was overpriced. We paid $17 for maybe three bites of the Este ceviche half order. We also ordered a full order of the pull apart shrimp (8 average sized shrimp for $42). The crispy tuna tacos were full of smoky tuna flavor and delicious. I’m not sure I would return as it seemed like more of a “place to be seen” versus there for the quality of the food. The restaurant attracted a 25-35 age crowd.

My wife and I had an incredible dining experience at Este. Everything was amazing – from the exceptional food to the attentive service and the beautiful ambiance. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. The fish tacos, ceviche, and margaritas were absolute standouts – I highly recommend them! The staff went above and beyond to ensure our evening was perfect. We truly loved everything about it and can’t recommend Este highly enough!
