Irma's Original offers a charming dive into authentic Mexican cuisine right in Houston. This cozy, women-owned eatery delights patrons with its unique dining experience—there’s no printed menu, just friendly recommendations and a welcoming atmosphere. Indulge in their famed mole or savor perfect enchiladas paired with a delightful Tres Leches dessert. With a casual yet vibrant setting, Irma’s is family-friendly, ADA accessible, and great for solo diners, making it a must-try destination for both locals and visitors alike.
I finally got to visit after years of hearing raves, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is cozy, reminding me of a family gathering. Irma herself came to our table and suggested the red mole - and I’m so glad I went with it. The chicken was succulent, smothered in that rich, flavorful sauce.
We also sampled the Tres Leches, which was perfectly textured, not a soggy mess. Service was attentive yet relaxed. Just a heads up, there's no menu or prices, which may throw some folks off, but honestly, the food is worth it! Can’t wait to return
