Looking forward to some good Mexican food tonight. Irma's was recommended to me. Any input from the food board? Any recommendations on what to eat there? TIA.

Irma's is mediocre at best. Much better options in town. As a previous poster recommended, I would head to El Tiempo or a local taco truck.

overrated and expensive

Go to Original Ninfa's on Navigation or the El Tiemp right next door.

Also the El Tiempo in Richmond Avenue between Kirby and Buff Speedway.

If you want real Mexican, go to Hugo's on Westheimer.

I prefer Ninfas on Navigation over El Tiempo, but seem to be in the minority on this board. El Tiempo is getting a pretty chain-y feel and think the quality has started to go downhill.

Original Ninfas on Navigation. Get the tacos al pastor or the crab and shrimp enchilada

Ninfaritas are on point too

I have not experienced this at all. Only been to the original Ninfas once and I was unimpressed. I'm willing to try it again, but I just keep going to El Tiempo instead.

As for Irma's, theres a difference between Irma's and Irma's Southwest Grill. Both owned by the same family. If you are going to go to one, go to the original, but they are both very overpriced and not generally impressive. The decor at Irma's is worth a trip at least once though.

Orginal Ninfas is the shite

I still dream about those margaritas and tacos el carbon. Homemade tortillas and the salsa is the shite
