"Eating at Irma’s Original is like having a meal inside of a living room, which is why so many Houstonians make time to visit. At Irma’s Original, the Tex-Mex menu changes daily, and the space is filled with just about any tchotchke imaginable. The daily menu is whatever the chefs feel like making, so you'll probably have to come more than once to experience the best of Irma's: the chicken mole. The mole is bold and sweet, with a subtle heat, and served with rice to ensure you don’t miss any sauce. Plus, multiple trips to Irma's means more chances to shoot the breeze with the staff and take occasional pauses to watch the Astros game." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
