Tex-Mex eatery with daily specials and kitschy decor
"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
"There are two Irma’s, both are downtown and only a few minutes away from each other, but you’ll know you're at Irma’s Original because of the menu that changes daily and the kitschy decor. The tiny dining room transports you to what looks like the inside of a grandma’s living room. Shelves overflow with dolls, floral dishware sets, framed photos, and almost any other tchotchke you can imagine. The daily menu is whatever the chefs feel like making. Which means you should a) come here more than once and b) hope they feel like making chicken mole on the day you dine. The mole is bold and sweet, with a subtle heat and is served with rice to ensure you don’t miss any sauce." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"The Tex-Mex restaurant Irma’s has two locations, and both happen to be downtown, just a few minutes away from each other. But only at the original location on Chenevert Street will you find a small dining room that could be the envy of all of the best thrift stores in town. At Irma’s you get the family treatment, which means that they’ll probably call you “hon” or “sweetie” after every interaction. It also means that they’re only serving whatever they feel like cooking that day, so cross your fingers and hope that the subtly spicy chicken mole makes the menu. Swing by for breakfast, or come for a midday meal to try one of the daily specials like a plate of carne guisada or beef fajita enchiladas." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"There are two locations of Irma’s, a casual Tex-Mex restaurant, and both are downtown. With any luck your friend will accidentally head to the other location before heading to the one on Chenevert St and cut down on the time you have to spend at dinner. The tiny dining room looks like the inside of a grandma’s living room, with shelves overflowing with dolls, floral dishware sets, and just about any other tchotchke you can imagine. Which means that you can spend most of dinner making small talk about the kitschy decor and the daily rotating specials instead of talking about “what’s new” in your personal life. Hopefully, the obligatory dinner gods will smile on you and put the subtly-sweet chicken mole on special, and make it a bit easier for you to nod politely while they talk." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
