Our crispy tacos are anything but ordinary! Our amazing taco shells are fried each day in-store, one by one. You'll notice no two are alike, they are like precious snowflakes – beautiful & unique! Then we fill them w/ tasty ground sirloin and fresh toppings. That's enough to give your neighbors some serious #tacoenvy! #TacoTuesday #Getyourown #freshisbest

Irie Bean Coffee Bar:

As the temperature starts to rise, so does our desire for cold beverages. Our “Frappe” is a local favorite! Come in and ask for our “Funky Monkey” and we’ll make it a mocha with a banana for a classic Irie feel! Happy Monday!? #LiveLoveBeIrie #IrieLife #austintx #austincoffee #coffee #frappe #funkymonkey #austin #happymonday #goodmorning
