  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for creative cocktails
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 have been waiting to try Este for a bit of time. We made reservations for a birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. The wonderful experience of food, ambiance, and flavors were elevated by the exceptional service from our waiter, Luke. He made us feel like we were his only patrons in the restaurant, although I knew we weren’t. He was personal, helpful with recommendations, and made my husband’s birthday dinner memorable and special. We recommend this new Austin gem to all!

    One of the most delicious meals I’ve had in Austin this year. I loved it so much I’m going back this weekend with a different group. We had cocktails, appetizers, meals and dessert. The cachetada taco was my favorite! Our waitress was so sweet and gave us great recommendations. The service was fast too! Amazing experience all around

    Food and service were top notch. I was told by the restaurant that the patio was enclosed and heated. The heaters were on but my party was seated at the outside edge of the patio that was not encled. People sitting away from the heat were uncomfortable.

    10/10. Loved the chips and salsa. The Saladito. The cevichito. The chocolate cake. Might skip the fried tuna taco/fish taco next time and go for the tuna tiradito instead. Delish!!!!
