Exceptional food matched only by the hospitality of this family run business. Went there with a friend while in town for the NAR Convention. From the chips and homemade salsa to the tamales, enchiladas, and taco- Everything we were served was AH-MAZING. And the big bonus, we got to meet the namesake, the family matriarch, Irma. Definitely recommend!!

So be prepared there is no menu they feed you what they have prepared. I was hoping for chillaquiles and got chicken fajita with 2 fajita tacos. They treat you like family so be prepared for everyone to come and say hi! Would I come back of course I will.

If we could give more stars we would. WE DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE. The experience as soon as we walked in was unmatched- so kind and helpful and like we just walked into our best friend’s house!!! Never even looked at a menu- drinks and food were 10+/10. I’ve never had that great of an experience and I’ve been all over the world!! Tony was our server and made us feel like celebrities!!!

OMG! If you want try THE BEST chile relleno ever you must visit Irma’s The Original. Everything is tasty there, don’t get me wrong, but the chile relleno is just amazing. Everyone is so nice! Ask for Monica. She will treat you like royalty. The quality of their food is top notch

This place is so cool. Their sign says “feels like family” and it truly does! Bring an open mind and a sense of adventure and let them bring you the feed they want you have, it’ll be worth it!

Our first time here. Felt like I was at my grandmas house. Everyone checked to make sure everything was okay. The lemonade was so good, our had strawberries. Our daughter even raved about her quesadilla. She never eats quesadillas because she doesn’t like them. Handmade flour tortillas. The food was so delicious. It was an experience I won’t forget. I look forward to the next time we are able to go.

So I came here without having known about this place before. I enjoyed the meal and had a good enough experience talking to some of the staff. I was a little thrown off by the no menu thing but didn’t really think much about it. When it came time to pay it was $25 for my chicken Fajitas and seemingly $15ish for my margherita. I wouldn’t really know because the bill isn’t even itemized, seems they kind of make up the number based off how they feel about you. I mean it’s not absurd… but for the portions it’s quite high and would be nice to have an idea before ordering.
Sort of confusing why they would need to do this, but I guess they get enough business during baseball season…

We can’t complain about the food—it was delicious. The only issue was that there was no menu, so we had no idea how much we’d be spending. Even though there were only seven of us, our bill came out to $956, and most of us didn’t even order food. It would really help to have menus so guests know the prices ahead of time. Also, our meals weren’t served complete—our plate was supposed to be steak with shrimp, charro beans, and rice, but we only received the steak and rice, and the server said they didn’t have any more of the other items.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place.
Best part is that there’s NO MENU!
They’ll serve you what’s the freshest (aka…special of the day) plus all the “standard” Mexican fare.
The Galvin family will take excellent care you!!!!
Update!!!! REDFISH a la Tony!!!!

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend going with someone who knows what to order because not only do they not have a menu, but it also seems to change frequently. Most of the options are traditional Mexican dishes.
As soon as we sat down, they brought out chips with salsa, queso, and guac—all of which were really good! Then they served us tamales (my first time trying them—they were okay). Since this is a family-owned restaurant, they seem to focus on a cozy, homey vibe, which makes sense because apparently, most Mexican restaurants don’t serve tamales.
They also gave us this delicious and refreshing fruit juice with watermelon, pineapple, and other tropical flavors. I loved it! My boyfriend got the same thing, but as a margarita, and the portion was huge.
Again, they don’t have a menu—you sit down, and they tell you what’s available. I guess it changes often, but I did feel like the choices were limited. There were only four dishes offered when we went.
In the photos below, I got the dish with the darker sauce and chicken, while my boyfriend got the same thing as a half-portion, paired with another dish that had a lighter sauce. That one was actually really good! Mine was okay, but the flavor was a bit too strong for me. The chicken itself was well-cooked, though.
After that, they gave us tres leches to-go. Not my favorite, but I know a lot of people love it.
Looking back, the price point was on the higher side. I didn’t really notice at the time because I was just focused on lunch, but our total came out to around $100 for two meals and two drinks. It’s not outrageous, considering the portions were generous, but I had no idea how much each item cost. It would make more sense if they were more transparent with pricing.
