About THE ORIGINAL IRMA'S


When it comes to finding gems such as this one in the heart of the Nation, it brings a tear to our eyes. So rare and hard to find these days, it truly reveals that tradition, passion for cuisine and friendly customer service is still alive and well in the US of A. It's the place to get some of the best Mexican meals and drink on this side of the border. What we love about this place is that the menu is always improving and rotating so you can come and experience new flavors and dishes with each visit. The fact that these guys earned the prestigious James Beard award back in 2008 speaks volumes, but it's more about what the customers have to say that really packs the real punch. This includes several celebrities which have all left signed photos adorning the walls. Born in 1941, Irma herself is still at the helm and makes you feel welcome from your very first visit. Experience the classics here and a dining experience fill with friendly memories and much more.
