Este sits at 2113 Manor Rd in East Austin, operating under the tagline "mariscos con onda" — seafood with style. It's part of a group of Austin restaurants that also includes Suerte, Bar Toti, and Este Garden.
The restaurant has drawn recognition well beyond the neighborhood. Eater named it to its Essential 38 list, Michelin selected it for both the 2024 and 2025 Texas guides, and StarChefs included it in its 2023 Rising Stars class. Bon Appétit named it one of the country's Best New Restaurants in 2023, and The New York Times included it on its Restaurant List that same year.
The James Beard Foundation named a member of Este's beverage program a semifinalist for Outstanding Professional in Beverage Service in 2026, a nod to the bar program alongside the kitchen.
