Customer Reviews
Really enjoyed the food here. We made the end of happy hour where we tried the fish tacos, ceviche, and some salsa and guacamole. Everything g tasted fabulous. We finished with the citrus pie desert, a very intense and delicious lemon meringue type desert. The Margherita with mezcal was delicious. I will visit again.
Margs? bomb. The sombra > tropical #imo… The tuna tiritado was very VERY good. Better than Suerte’s— while Suerte’s was good bc of the yummy sauce, Este’s tuna was much better (to be expected from a seafood restaurant tbf). Next we got the cachetada tacos and Guys. This was SO good. The thin meat was delish. Even though it came with onions and even cheese I did not feel like it was super heavy and greasy #yum. Next were the shishito peppers. Unfortunately the sauce + nuts + whatever “was a solution in search of a problem” when there wasn’t a problem to begin with. There was simply too much going on for what should be a simple home run dish. I don’t need all this sauce and random seeds and whatever when all a girl needs is some salt and lemon. Finally we had our peche and lowkey… I moaned d
Our waiter was amazing - very genuine and down to earth. Perfect amount of checkin. The guacamole is very fresh and unique due to the use of sesame oil. Fish tacos were okay. I’d skip the crispy tuna tacos as well - very meh. The chocolate flan dessert is a must if you like chocolate cake - it’s not at all like a flan, very decadent and very delicious. The coffee comes with a tiny chocolate biscuit too that’s actually really really good
We visited Este for Sunday lunch and came away with mixed but mostly positive impressions. On the food side, the kitchen is doing some excellent work. The shrimp aguachile negro was a standout, bright, punchy, and extremely well balanced. My pescado zarandeado was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. From a seafood perspective, Este clearly knows what it is doing. That said, the vegetarian options were fairly limited, which was disappointing. Especially compared to their sister restaurant, Suerte, which offers a noticeably stronger vegetarian selection. Logistics and service were the weaker points of the experience. Parking is valet only, and the lot itself is very cramped. It filled up quickly even though the restaurant was not especially busy at Sunday lunch. The valet seemed visi
Loved Este! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for a wonderful afternoon, warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. The service was excellent, and Gaby in particular was attentive, pacing our courses perfectly so we could truly enjoy each dish. The food was delicate yet incredibly flavorful, beautifully presented and full of care. Every detail came together to make the experience feel special. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return.
