A huge shout-out to the wait staff at this friendly grill a short walk from Minute Maid...what aoutstanding service experience! We had a group of 12 which they quickly and efficiently served cocktails, starters and main courses perfectly, and, with superb personalized friendly aplomb. Everything else was very good across the board, but the poise and charm of the servers... More

Amazing culinary experience! I had Louis create a custom fish taco burrito. Phenomenonal!! Loved the experience and service. The homemade lemonade is a must have. I am sensing a family that loves what they do and the service shines through. I was in town for a conference and had back to back lunches with these folks. A must try.

Wanted to get a bite with some friends before the astros game last thursday. Showed up about 1 hr before game time. Restaurant was pretty packed, but got a table quickly. We asked the waiter for drinks menus , none available, then for food menus, non available... Not a big deal I said. We ordered, we ate a combination plate... More

Irma's is a nice place downtown that is only open from 8-3p daily except when there is a ball game. And not open Sundays. There are no menus but the waitstaff will come to your table and tell you what the specials along with what is regularly served. Diners at our table had the Chilean sea bass which was cooked... More

The warm, Texas-size hospitality of this restaurant would cause me to rave regardless of the food, but the food is MARVELOUS!! The famous lemonade is refreshing, the guacamole authentic, and the chile relleno BEYOND exquisite!! Please, please, come eat here--you won't be disappointed!

There is a reason for the lemonade to be famous, it is different. The service is great, warm chips on your table all the time, hot cheese with jalapeños, guacamole, hot and mild sauce..and that is before you get to starters. The lentil soup is awesome and the carne asada was just perfect. Great place for lunch downtown, and you... More

This is a great place for Tex Mex. I hd the chicken enchiladas and they were very good. The chips were served warm and were good and the sauce was very good. Also had guacamole and it was very flavorful.

Irma's was probable the easiest, and once of the most delicious lunches that I have ever had. The menu, they don't have one, so just ask or rattle off something you want. The bill, never got one.....so hand over the card an pay it......WORTH EVERY PENNY.

First time at Irma's today. Surprised to see they don't have menus. I accepted the server's suggestion of a "combo" so I could try a few different things. The tamale and enchilada were just okay, but the beef fajita was chewy and yuck. expected better beef in Texas! i also ried their house-made lemonade, which I found sickly sweet. Guacamole... More
