Suerte Will Transform Into Mexican Steakhouse to Close Out Year | Eater Austin

"To wrap up 2025 and ring in the new year, the East Sixth Street spot led by chef Fermín Núñez will temporarily transform into Norteño Steakhouse, an upscale Mexican steakhouse with a Texas influence, from December 26 through January 4. The special menu includes aguachile de ribeye and bacon-wrapped Twinkies stuffed with suadero and cream cheese, while steak offerings range from steak au poivre to a ribeye with chiltepin garlic chile paste, plus a limited number of T-bone steaks each night; vegetarian options are available. Desserts run to an apple pie with pecans, caramel, and brisée crust, and pan de limón—a Meyer lemon cake with lemongrass, caramelized white chocolate pearls, and crème fraîche. Drinks include a 12-bottle wine list curated by director of operations Celia Pellegrini (winner of Michelin’s Sommelier Award in 2025), a martini menu, and cocktails made exclusively for Norteño. The pop-up will operate for dinner only starting at 5 p.m., while regular brunch service continues on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; reservations are live on OpenTable." - H.
