East Austin, Austin · restaurant
A Mexican seafood restaurant where coastal flavors and house-made masa share equal billing. The pescado zarandeado—a whole butterflied fish grilled over charcoal with annatto and red chile—is the strongest argument for making a reservation, while masa-battered swordfish tacos, ceviche-loaded chips, and clams with habanero pico de gallo round out the menu. The covered patio looks onto the garden supplying much of the produce, giving the whole place a distinctly Austin sense of place.
