About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    I've been here twice, and each time it only gets better. I came for a date night with my boyfriend, and this experience did not disappoint. The food was superb—authentic cuisine that was incredibly tasty. Our server, Logan, was amazing; his excellent service and recommendations truly made an impact. As a New Yorker transitioning to Austin, finding hidden gems is important to me. I’ve also been to Suerte, the sister restaurant, which was decent, but to be honest, this restaurant is a true gem!

    San Francisco (where I grew up and live) and NYC (where I travel to frequently) would be so lucky to have Este. Outstanding food, professional but relaxed service. Still a great looking interior.

    First, we appreciated the free valet service! The space is so airy and beautiful. My siblings and I started with gorgeous cocktails and then enjoyed ceviche, oysters, and super swordfish tacos. The grilled turbot was terrific but the best dish was the shrimp—amazing sauce, grilled, eat the whole thing shrimp. Our server was really enthusiastic and knowledgeable. A wonderful dinner!

    As always Este was phenomenal. The food and ambiance are always a 10/10 but the true star here is the staff. Everyone that works here makes you feel welcome and valued.

    Este was superb. Outstanding, bright, and deep flavors. Fantastic margaritas. Loud but not overbearing, energetic atmosphere. Perfect handmade chips, very good tortillas. Perfectly cooked shrimp and fish. Raw shrimp in ceviche sublime. Expensive but not gratuitous. A lovely date evening for my wife's 55th.
