- Saf anJanuary 31, 2014Don't miss: Enchiladas Mexicanas with queso fresco; tamales with chile con carne; guacamole; frijoles a la charra; lemonade. Inside track: Irma's now offers dinner Thursday through Saturday.
S GrayNovember 19, 2017Food great, price terrible. As noted, there is no menu or itemized check. I figure we got charged $30 per entree. Shrimp tacos, chicken mole, good but not that good! Live and learn.
Houston PressJuly 15, 2013Try the landmark cheese enchiladas, real mole, chiles rellenos, pork ribs in home-style tomatillo sauce and sip some of Irma's lemonade while you wait.- Houston PressAugust 4, 2014This Mexican plate-lunch spot keeps accreting like some whimsical downtown coral reef.

Sulley WilliamsJune 6, 2014Was one of our favorites in Houston, not anymore. They have always been pricey but they are just plain outrageous now, and food and margaritas did not have me wanting for more. Disappointed- David ValerioAugust 21, 2023Food is delicious, but the prices are ridiculous for the portions you get , I got the mole plate with one flour tortilla and side of queso ( queso tasted like velveeta ) $58🙄no more
Jeff AllenFebruary 17, 2012This place is awesome - Irma and her family know how to to treat their guest - if you are in town for #nce12 , check out Irma's for a evening of great food and a great experience.
Deven NongbriNovember 18, 2016Hidden gem for downtown Tex-Mex - very San Antonio vibe with great waitstaff and margaritas that keep coming.
CultureMap Houston ManagerMarch 6, 2012Think homestyle cooking can't compete with modern gastronomy? Unlike most of the high-end chefs in town, Irma has a coveted James Beard award on her mantle.
Gina SNovember 19, 2012This place is the real deal. So delicious and authentic. Loved it. They no written menu. They tell you what they have. Love love love :-)
Ted WendtMarch 28, 2019The REAL DEAL! Coming back for fajitas next week. But everything else is thee best! Don’t come in 39 minutes before Astro’s game and get pissy because service is slow.
- Eric KingJuly 22, 2013The chicken mole is wonderful! I'm slightly skeptical when there is no menu (hence no prices) but it was pretty good. Definitely worth trying if you haven't already.
- Lisa WilliamsMay 20, 2022Bad Service! No Menus! No itemized receipt of charges! Bill was $103.28 for 2 small portioned meals and 2 teas. Price gouging on steroids!!! Hands down worst experience ever! Go anywhere else!
Alex S.May 23, 2014Overpriced. There are other places in Houston that do home-style cooking at fraction of price. Watery salsa, bland tortillas. But good mole and tasty lemonade.
- Andrew DommertJune 24, 2010Great stuff, nice place... Love what Irma is cooking! Don't look for a menu though! :)
- M. Carmen MartinezDecember 11, 2017It was nice getting a "free" tamale. The chile relelleno was good. Shrimp taco was just ok.

deviantpixelJuly 21, 2011With all the rave reviews I really expected much better food. Ambiance is wonderful but unfortunately does not make up for the food and portions.
Angela G.December 15, 2013Way over fkn priced!! Went to have lunch there after an event... 2 Rita's and a fajita plate (only enough meat for 1 taco) $42... Wtf. Never again.- Houston ChronicleAugust 3, 2014Don't miss: Enchiladas Mexicanas with queso fresco; tamales with chile con carne; guacamole; frijoles a la charra; lemonade. Read more
