MEXI ICED AT TAMALE HOUSE

Mexi Iced is one of Austin’s best-kept secrets and is well worth the wait. Find it nestled inside Tamale House, a true Austin institution since 1958! This café continues the traditions that started with their grandparents who operated a tiny downtown kitchen that served up authentic, handmade flavors to Austinites, working-class folks, senators, and even a president! Today, Mexi Iced carries on that legacy of quality and connection, offering fresh coffee and treats in a space that still feels like home!
