The most incredible Mexican food I have ever eaten. This place is a must go place! The service went above and beyond when they knew it was our 1st visit.
Elia, the manager, made it a truly memorable experience.

I live in NJ but grew up in TX. I am so happy to be here today! The food is so wonderful. My mouth is alive with the spices and flavors of TX. I am in love. I will be here for the next few days and this is my spot! Gracias! Such a wonderful lunch! Margaritas and more tomorrow!

Everything about this place was fantastic! Eat here, drink here, and you’ll leave smiling. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of character — like being invited into a family gathering. The menu is unique, full of flavor, and clearly inspired by love and tradition. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning for more, Irma’s feels like home.

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant after a long hard day. Great service and the white table clothes are an absolute delight. Really nice atmosphere, delicious food and lovely drinks.

We arrived without a reservation & were welcomed warmly. Manager, Flavi, shared some of her favorite items from the menu & all were delicious & well plated. Flavi showed pride in the quality of the food & she is justified! Our server in the bar area, Nick, was professional & engaging. We will make a point to return to Irma’s when we next visit Houston.

Hands down the BEST Mexican food we’ve ever had!! In town for Astros game and walked in shortly after opening. Quickly greeted by hostess and the owner, Louis, who is the son of the original Irma’s. After Louis found out we’re huge fans of Mexican food, he asks to cook for us today and proceeds to present an array of tasty dishes. From the house lemonade to lentil soup and main courses not on the menu, based on each of mine and my husband’s favorite dishes. We were so stuffed, we unfortunately did not have room for dessert. It was all amazing. Louis is the best host and has a wonderful restaurant. Will return every time we’re in Houston!!

Customer service is great! Clean area. Consider a fancy restaurant. $50 for lunch. Food taste good. Fajitas is great. Request a spicy sauce it’s awesome. The tea is awesome too! Pure fruits no sugar.

The food here was really good. I had some queso, some guac, and their salsa to start. I decided to get the burger since I was interested in the Nilgai and I’m glad I tried it! It was quite good. You could tell it wasn’t cow beef but they made a great burger out of it. High price for a fairly normal portion; that’s downtown for ya! I personally don’t really like the downtown scene. Parking sucks. Ambiance wasn’t great. Very loud. Other than that, I’m happy with the service and food.

Had lunch. Atmosphere and service were great. Salsa was particularly good and flavorful without too much heat. Had the wild game plate for an entree. Enjoyed my meal and would eat here again.
