A Guide to Eating in Austin by Adrian Quesada of the Black Pumas | Eater Austin

"I am a big fan of everything that chef Fermin Nunez does. The restaurant’s offerings have elevated Austin in general with its approach to Mexican seafood. I went really early on, and have seen it grow, including Bar Toti in the back. [This restaurant] is a place we go when we want a fancier experience or to impress people from out of town. Most people seem to know Nunez’s other restaurant, Suerte, better. We take them to experience the fine dining Mexican seafood dishes. One time, Nunez had this hash brown type of thing on the menu, and I asked what the inspiration was. He said McDonald’s hash browns [laughs]. As well-recognized and elevated as it is, he isn’t pretentious at all." - Courtney E. Smith
