Irma Galvan's legendary downtown lunch spot is known for her comforting Mexican sauces and stews, her gracious hospitality and her homemade lemonard. Sit down in the tiny dining and your likely to bump elbows with judges, city council members and other movers-and-shakers.
But pay attention to your server. Irma has never handed out menus. Never will. And, if you're on a budget, ask the price before you order. Irma's serves high quality fare and the prices reflect that. You've been warned.
Good Food, High Prices, Friendly Service, Poor Parking.
The average price per person should be changed to $20-30 without alcohol. The "verbal" menu doesn't offer prices unless you specifically ask; which you need to do otherwise you'll be shocked when you get the bill. $14.00 for an enchilada dinner the quality you get elsewhere for under ten bucks. My only complaint about Irma's is the prices, they are about 20% higher than they should be relative to comparable food in other "higher end" Mexican Restaurants in Houston.
