Irma's Original is a delightful gem in Houston! 🌟

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
