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.

    Every dish we tried was delicious! We sat outside on the patio and it was a lovely evening. The table was perfect for two people. The dishes we tried were the tuna tiradito appetizer, and the este ceviche. Both were very yummy but the tuna especially was delicious!! It had the perfect balance of acidity and crunchy onions. Omg my mouth is still watering. Then we got the fish tacos that were light and fluffy. Then we finished with the cochinita pibil. Everything was chefs kiss! Would definitely go back! Perfect date spot too!
