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.

    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!

    Great food. Loved sharing small plates with wonderful, unique flavors. Service was uneven. Waiter was friendly and helpful. We got our drinks and appetizers very quickly. Then after finishing those, we waited about 30 minutes for our "main course." After finishing that, we were given dessert options but waited another 15 minutes to order. Dinner for 4 on a Sunday evening took 2.5 hours. So that part was disappointing but loved our meal and will go again.

    Service was friendly but disjointed. My table was cleared including cocktails during the 2 times I went to the bathroom. Shellfish centered dishes were disappointing, freshness and quality lacking. Fish dishes were excellent. Cocktails were excellent.
