Irma's Kitchen

Very solid, good food. If I had an option for 1/2 star, I'd give 4 1/2 stars but am rounding up for the fact that they take pride in their food and service and want to make their guests happy. We're visiting from Tucson and have not found a Mexican restaurant we really liked in Phoenix until now. Unassuming inside, looks like what you would see in a Los Betos but lots of messages written on the walls in marker by customers, mostly thanking them for the great food. Welcome Chips and salsa served at the beginning are delicious. The chips are light and airy and you can tell they're fried in house rather than mass produced and delivered in a big bag. I had the number 1 lunch combo. A cheese enchilada and taco with rice and beans. I chose the carne asada taco. He got the #2 with a beef tamale and enchilada, again with rice and beans. Enchilada sauce was a nice deep red with a great flavor, tacos was soft shell corn with a decent amount of diced carne asada. It had a good flavor but had a few gristly pieces in it. The tamale had a good flavor, but I like a little more masa in my tamale. The rice was a yellow/saffron color with a good flavor. The refried beans were delicious! Perfect consistency, enough salt to give flavor but not overwhelm and a nice amount of cheese on top. My bf who considers himself a refied bean connoisseur growing up eating his nana's beans just about everyday considered getting another order but decided he was too full at the end of his meal. Prices are actually really good by today's standards. Each of our meals was $10.25. Total bill for 2 very filling meals, 1 bottle coke and one fountain drink and tax was less than $37 and the food was much better than the 2 burritos and 2 fountain drinks that I paid $42 recently at Los Betos on Twin Peaks rd in Marana (can you tell, I'm still upset about this)

Lucky for me I forgot my lunch today! Yelp search pointed to try Irma's and a review said everything on the menu is wonderful and they now order the daily special. So, I ordered the daily special, Barbacoa Soup. Yum! Can't wait to go back.

Really really REALLY great breakfast burritos. The coffee was excellent, ambiance and service top notch, and we were even greeted by Irma herself who was so nice!

I love Irma's! The special is always so authentic and amazing! Service is quick and she serves homemade chip and salsa

The breakfast chorizo and egg burrito was so good. Friendly place. Good food and great prices! Highly recommend

This is the best Woman owned family Mexican restaurant with daughter,Ashley. The food is made fresh. Love it all, they make great coffee & cocoa.Great prices. Food is homemade, amazing,Irma & Ashley are just amazing.

I loved Irma's!!!We stopped here after a long road trip and from seeing the great reviews. The location is located by a few lumber factories but don't let that stop you. The food and service here was amazing!!Everything tasted so fresh and had so much flavor. They even have a few daily specials which I believe they change every so often... it was expensive either. Definitely worth the buck!Thank you Irma!!

I work downtown and have lunch here about once a week. The food is always excellent. Same for the service and price. I've tried everything on the menu and all of it is great, but now I always get the daily special. I don't know how Irma does it because the special is always new and always delicious. I can't recommend this place enough.

Me and a college friend were in Phoenix for the final four-Boiler Up!!We randomly found this highly rated little Mexican restaurant. We absolutely loved it. Irma herself greeted us at the door and gave us excellent menu recommendations.Food was delivered promptly, tasted incredible, and had both of us more than full by the time we were done.We said goodbye to Irma and the rest of the crew thinking we would probably never be back there since we're visiting from the Midwest. As it turned out, we picked up a third friend about an hour later, and he was saying how hungry he was. We knew exactly where to take him! Two Separate trips to this lovely restaurant and We loved it. Thank you and good luck to you, Irma !!

Delicious, cheap, spotless and great service. Win win win win. Irma is from Guatemala and is a fabulous cook.
