About this restaurant

Lively
Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails

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.

Dinner at Este was delicious and we had an excellent waitress. It had been awhile since we ate there and we won't wait so long next time.

This was my second time and the service is still top notch. The food is good but not great, except for those chips and guacamole - they are outstanding. I had the tuna terdito and I'm gonna be honest, it needed more flavor. The shredded alliums were not enough. It required more salt or sour. The drink was very good. I'd return for the jovial, fun atmosphere.

Este is really good. The fish taco is next level. Also loved the tiradito which has some kind of funky brown sauce which is both delicious and totally unusual. Guacamole is the best I’ve eaten in Austin. But the superstar is dessert and I don’t like sweet or dessert in general. This pastry chef needs some Michelin recognition of their very own. Outstanding, original, craveable desserts (we ordered all the desserts on the menu except for the lime pie). We finished our evening walking through their vegetable garden which is lovely. Don’t remember the name of our waiter but he was outstanding.

I don't have the words to express how amazing everything was here service and food. This was my 3rd time... I actually made a special trip to Austin just for the opportunity to eat here again. We probably tried 1/2 the menu and everything was just amazing. I will be back ASAP!

Lyle, the manager remembered us from the anniversary celebration for their adjacent Bar Totti, and he was gracious and warmly greeted us. Andrew was our wait staff person and his recommendations were spot on. He explained the various appetizers and main entrees…many items interspersed with homegrown vegetables in the garden on the south end of the property. The swordfish tacos as appetizers plus guacamole started out as excellent and the meal, itself, continued its high standard as we had the park dish as well as a great fish plate. Sauces were delicious . Desserts, including the almond cake and the poppy seed cake were phenomenal. The bar drinks were also excellent (margaritas). We will definitely return. Take a stroll through their garden, too. Thanks Este. Winning personnel. Attentive. Happy and proud of their work and their commitment to excellent food and service.
