Don'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.
Food 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.
Try 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.
This Mexican plate-lunch spot keeps accreting like some whimsical downtown coral reef . Read more
Came for the shrimp tacos , fell in love with the ground beef Chile Relleno !
Was 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
Food 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
This 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.
Hidden gem for downtown Tex-Mex - very San Antonio vibe with great waitstaff and margaritas that keep coming.
This place is the real deal. So delicious and authentic . Loved it. They no written menu. They tell you what they have. Love love love :-)
Think 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.
The 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.
Ambiance, local landmark , tasty food. Prices are scary.
Margaritas and hospitality are above and beyond.
The 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.
Awesome food. Try the blue marg !
Bad 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!
Great food, but very expensive for the portions.
Overpriced. 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 .
Houston Press 2013 Favorite Dishes - Pork Tamales
Hectic environment but good food and close to the park .
Best mole I've had in Houston
Great stuff, nice place... Love what Irma is cooking! Don't look for a menu though! :)
It was nice getting a "free" tamale . The chile relelleno was good. Shrimp taco was just ok.
Jamie Zelko, chef of Zelko Bistro , eats here on her nights off. She loves the Mole cheese enchiladas . Read more
Best salsa ever!
Not the bill!
Seriously the best Mexican food in Houston.
Freaking delicious
A Houston classic
Delicious ????
The combo is delicious :)
Beef tamale
Chicken Mole
The homemade fruit lemonade is a must with any meal! Best hot sauce too!
They don't have menus here so don't ask
Lemonade is fantastically deliciously refreshing.
With all the rave reviews I really expected much better food. Ambiance is wonderful but unfortunately does not make up for the food and portions.
Way 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.

Ordered the ceviche and the suckling pig, both were fantastic! Truly can't go wrong with anything off the menu, even dessert was delicious (order the churros)! - Alex Gronbach
Everything is delish! Some of my favs are the fajitas, tilapia Vera Cruz & tres leches! Yummmm!!! - Cynthia Nicole
What an amazing family time here! Every seat has a great view to the field no worries on going upstairs on 400s. Food and beers pricey but is part of the experience. Save on coming with full stomach! - Sasha Krauss
Love this craft brewery! Great Saturday gathering place with friends to sample. BYOF. Christmas is still my favorite, but I must try the Pumpkinator. I moved before this was released. - Kim Rottet
It's a great central place for concerts, basketball games, and other events! - Ashley E
