Nomade Cocina is a Yucatecan kitchen located in the heart of Austin’s South 1st district, celebrating coastal Mexican cuisine inspired by the jungles and shores of the Yucatán. Led by Chef Jay, the menu highlights fresh coastal seafood, heirloom masa tortillas ground daily, and artisanal spices from Mérida, crafted into both traditional and contemporary wood-fired dishes. Recognized as #4 Best New Restaurant in the South by Yelp and named among the Top 15 Restaurants in Austin by Fodor’s Travel, Nomade offers an elevated yet approachable dining experience rooted in authenticity and craft.
Our restaurant is 100% gluten-free, seed oil free, and celiac safe, with an extensive plant-based menu designed for inclusive dining. The bar features additive-free agave spirits and a Latin-inspired wine list that complements our coastal flavors. Guests can expect a warm, immersive atmosphere, open-fire cooking, and a commitment to quality ingredients and safety. Outside food and beverages are not permitted to ensure the integrity of our gluten-free environment for all guests.
At Nomade Cocina, hospitality extends beyond the table.
Through our partnership with the Young Men’s Business League (YMBL) of Austin, we proudly support Austin Sunshine Camps, an organization that has provided free summer camp experiences to children in need for over 95 years. Every Yucatecan Feast ordered helps make a difference. For each feast, we donate $10 directly to support life-changing camp experiences that help kids build confidence, friendships, and lasting memories in the outdoors. Join us in turning shared meals into meaningful impact. Gather your table, enjoy our signature Yucatecan Feast, and be part of something bigger than dining.
