Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining

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.

Este just became one of my favorite restaurant in Greater Austin. Right from the start, the tangy, fresh, taste bud tantalizing duo of salsas served with the corn flat bread were fabulous. The rest of the meal, including the desserts, was truly remarkable. All the service staff contributed to bringing the food quickly to our table. They were well trained, being knowledgeable of the menu and engaging in their conversation. We met the very kind manager at the end of our meal and knew right then and there that she was the maestro for this wonderful experience.

I was dining solo at the bar counter. The people were very nice but I found the walkthrough of the menu to be a little fussy (I am sure there are customers who appreciate that, but I like a hands free experience more). Food was good but can’t say I was blown away or anything.

The food was amazing. We had all the specialties and ceviche. Very fresh fish with spectacular flavor. We had Matthew as a server and he was nothing but wonderful. Thank you Este for a great anniversary dinner.

The ceviche and aquachile were truly amazing. Bright and fresh. The tamarind margarita was great; novel flavor, and not too sweet. The steak tacos and cochinita pibil were disappointing. We were seated 20 minutes after our reservation. On net I don't expect to come back any time soon.
