"Irma’s Southwest, a chic new Tex-Mex spot with a serious Space City pedigree, is ready to debut at the fancy new Catalyst Houston high-rise building. The dining room offers seating for 200 diners, with an additional 60 spots at the bar. The space is intended to evoke a cozy, upscale vibe with mirrored Italian glass tile, bronze fixtures, and a wood-fired oven in the kitchen will churn out carne asada and Kobe beef burgers. Like its predecessor Irma’s Southwest Grill, the new location will focus on game meats like venison and wild boar sourced from Broken Arrow Ranch and traditional Tex-Mex dishes like the fire-roasted chile relleno and pork carnitas. The cocktail program, developed by Jacob Guiterrez and Agricole Hospitality’s Morgan Weber, boasts a lengthy list of tequilas and, of course, margaritas." - Amy McCarthy
