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.

    We were lucky enough to be treated to the Provechito Tasting Menu. It was an overall fantastic experience. Very impressive personalized service with absolutely wonderful cuisine. They made fine dining fun! We can't wait to do it again.

    Leo was our waiter Saturday night and he was great! We enjoyed all the dishes and drinks we ordered with the exception of the roasted turnip dish. It fell flat compared to the Tuna Tiradito, Cachetado Taco and Pescado a la crema which were all excellent.

    Great food, but the service lacks so much and takes away from it being a special experience. One of our favorite menus but just not special.

    The service was great. Food was delicious, we ate both ceviches, guacamole, the beef taco, and the mushroom quesadilla. Yum! The clasica margarita is one of the best I’ve had. 10/10 would recommend!

    Beautiful interior with a lovely ambiance. We had a helpful waiter who made great suggestions and even took time to mark up a menu with which items could not be made dairy-free (so appreciated!). Ordered margaritas, guac, ceviche, fish tacos, crispy tuna tacos, and the potatoes and everything was tasty and fresh. We had the helado and sorbet for dessert and they were hands-down one of our favourites we've ever had. Thanks for a lovely dinner!
