Suerte - Austin (TX)

5 /5 Sarah Haight: One of the best in Austin for sure. Better than Este! I recommend reservations, there was a line before they even opened. Parking is a bit tricky, super small lot but paid street parking available. The staff was friendly and cool. The vibe inside was dark and moody, lots of conversations. Their tequila selection was sooo impressive. I hate when you go to a place and ask for a fancy tequila and they are out of it. They were also SO quick with the drinks. Impressively fast, we were never left thirsty. The food was incredible. Loved the ceviche with the apple broth. The tuna hibiscus aqua chile was great too. Loved the frijoles de veneno AND OMG THE HOUSE MADE TORTILLAS. Also, you have to get the sweet papas (at the bottom of the menu). Amazing. Loved every bite. The desserts were impressive too. The seasonal scoop was actually our favorite bite, lavender. So gentle and smooth. The chocotaco is a MUST. Not like the one you ate as a kid! We stayed for over 2 hours, left stuffed and happy.

5 /5 Allan Joy: Sublime experience. Menu is thoughtful, imaginative, and perfect in a somewhat tapas kind of appeal, as we shared everything at our 4-top to celebrate my birthday. The kitchen delivers top quality, lovingly-prepared dishes. The bar delivers amazing cocktails and flavorful beverages. The service is professional, well-seasoned, and perfectly polite, as well as well trained. Venue is casual, low-key, and cozy. Facility is well maintained. Parking was a tad difficult, as the restaurant was packed on a Sunday night. Well managed operation and conveniently located!

5 /5 Kim Baker: Dined at Suerte for a popup called Norteno Steakhouse which ends on Jan 4. Wow so good! The drinks were great - I loved my lychee gin martini but I loved even more the Cadillac Sidecar! The food was great but it started out really spicy. They brought out this habanero charred oil with the chips that was crazy spicy and made me cough. Otherwise, everything else was perfectly spiced. The ribeye came out with 4 tortillas where we could make amazing tacos with really wonderful chimichurri sauce. To top things off, we got a baked Oaxacan which is a play on baked Alaska. Wow sooo amazing. The rum sauce on top just really was the icing on top. Loved every bit of this experience other than the parking! I can’t wait until the next popup!

5 /5 Annie Patton: Went here for my 33rd birthday with my husband and my bestie - guys this was the best dinner I’ve had all year! And the second best dinner was at Suerte’s sister restaurant Este. We sat outside which was plenty warm and cozy for this time of year (truly, I had taken most of my layers off by the end). For three people we shared about 4 plates of food + dessert and it felt like the perfect amount. Our server, nick, was lovely and knowledgable and gifted us several plates and drinks to try throughout our meal. Shout out to Noelle too! An angel! (I felt totally spoiled + taken care of for my birthday! Truly the best feeling.) A super fun place to ball out if you are in the mood - also seems like you could stop by for a more casual dinner and have just as much fun! Highly recommend: ceviche, carnitas tacos, tres leches, a flight of dessert digestivos lol
