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.

    Took my 12 year old daughter after her swim meet. Second time I’ve been but she enjoyed it. Specifically the tomatillo emulsion on the flautas.

    Our recent visit to Este was nothing short of exceptional. As longtime fans of Suerte, we approached Este with high expectations—and it delivered on every front. The outdoor seating area provided the perfect atmosphere for our evening meal. The service was impeccable; our primary waiter was attentive and personable, while each staff member who delivered dishes displayed impressive knowledge about the preparation and ingredients. Este carries forward the signature masa expertise that made Suerte famous, but applies it beautifully to a seafood-focused menu. The ceviches were bright and perfectly balanced, showcasing the kitchen's talent for letting fresh ingredients shine. The pork carnitas demonstrated that their skill extends beyond seafood, while the octopus and halibut tacos were standout items—featuring tender, perfectly cooked proteins nestled in those wonderful house-made masa tortillas with sides that only enhance the experience. The beverage program deserves special mention. The margaritas were expertly crafted, and the thoughtfully curated wine list offers excellent pairings for the menu's coastal Mexican flavors. Este has successfully established its own identity while maintaining the exceptional quality that diners have come to expect from the team behind Suerte. Whether you're already a fan of their sister restaurant or discovering them for the first time, Este promises a memorable dining experience that celebrates the best of coastal Mexican cuisine.
