Description

Summary: A no-menu Tex-Mex favorite with a personal touch.

Irma's is a beloved institution in its community, known for its unique no-menu concept and its cozy, informal atmosphere that feels like dining in your grandmother's kitchen. The restaurant's charm is amplified by the owner's habit of sitting down to chat with patrons, creating an intimate and personal dining experience. Although the lack of menu prices can be disconcerting for first-timers, the restaurant's clientele of politicians, lawyers, and local office workers don't seem to mind, returning regularly for the hearty Tex-Mex breakfasts, strong coffee, and famous lemonade. The food, while considered basic Tex-Mex, is a hit, especially for those looking for a comforting meal before heading to a game or discussing business over breakfast. Despite the smaller portions and higher prices, Irma's continues to attract a mix of regulars and tourists, all looking to enjoy a bit of local flavor and hospitality.
