About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Hot spot
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' is worth the visit and could be a good addition to your normal restaurant rotation. My wife and I visited on a Sunday evening and sat indoors. The restaurant vibe is cool and casual with patrons dressed to impress as well a those who looked like they wandered in after a greenbelt hike. The staff is super friendly and provided us with great menu guidance. They were attentive but never intruded or hovered too much. We tried two of their speciality margaritas which were delicious and then switched to their paloma which was perhaps the best we've ever had. We had the Tuna Tiradito appetizer which turned out to be our favorite dish of the evening. It's just enough for two, but you may find yourself wanting more - it's that good! We followed up with the Ensalada de Verano and enjoyed the fresh vegetables they pick from the garden behind the restaurant. The Camarones El Rica were tasty but not worth mess as there is no way to remove the butterflied grilled shrimp from the shells without using your fingers and getting the red chili sauce all over your hands. Our final shared plate was the Pescado Zarandeado - Spanish sea bass filet rubbed with red chili sauce and grilled over an open flame. It was delicious with both flaky and crunchy portions that folded well into their fresh, warm corn tortillas dressed with the slaw, pickled vegetables, and house made sauces. The basil cake with toasted coconut and warm honey was a delightful way to top off the meal. We will be back to taste even more things we didn't get to on our first visit.

    The sea bass was fantastic. Wish I had the whole instead of half. My wife and I started with a couple of delicious margheritas and had the bluefin tuna and ceviche as appetizers. Unfortunately, we didn’t quite care for the amberjack in the ceviche, but the tuna was amazing. The chips and salsa were very nice, with delicious homemade chips. I had the wagyu tacos which were a tasty treat like no other I’ve had before. My wife’s grilled sea bass was the hit of the meal. Service was excellent. Though some would think a bit pricey, everything we had was worth the taste experience.
