The menudo is the best! Beans are delicious and the food never changes. Here are the reasons I didn't give 5 stars. The restaurant itself is not in very good condition, it's defiantly a dive but overall I don't mind. They don't actually serve breakfast potatoes they serve French fries. Yes, I know they are both potatoes but it's just weird to me. A Mexican restaurant should serve Mexican style papas for breakfast not French fries. They only accept cash. Other than that this place is a regular stop for Sunday morning breakfast! read more

First time trying this place granted I did order Uber eats. I tried the Menudo. It has a ton of hominy but lacks meat there's literally like very little bite-size pieces of meat. I have to say I'm a little bit disappointed. I heard a lot of great things about this place. I'll have to try something else, but definitely not the Menudo that you would think. They sell red and white. I tried the red and it came with oregano, lemon onion, and cilantro. I would not return for their Menudo. It's a little lackluster. read more

Has a cozy, family-owned feel, and the service was warm and quick from the moment I walked in. I started with the menudo. The flavor was decent*, but the ratio was off extremely off, too much corn and not enough broth. I even had to ask for a side of broth just to balance it out. The same thing happened with the side of onion and cilantro; the onion-to-cilantro ratio was mostly onion, so I had to ask for extra cilantro. I tried both the barbacoa and the carne asada tacos. I've never had lettuce on my tacos, but hey -- now I have. The barbacoa was good, but the carne asada had a very gamey, overly animal-like taste, the kind of flavor you're not supposed to notice when the meat is fresh. I couldn't finish it; I took one bite and had to spit it out because the meat tasted off, and I even felt the need to ask the server to try it. Overall, the service and atmosphere were great, but the flavor balance and meat quality need improvement. I'll keep looking for my go-to Mexican comfort food spot. . . If anyone has had an amazing experience with Mexican comfort food anywhere in the desert region, please let me know; I'm willing to drive. I'm definitely still searching for "the one." ~~~~~ tiene un ambiente acogedor y familiar, y el servicio fue cálido y rápido desde el momento en que entré. Empecé con el menudo. El sabor estaba bien, pero la proporción estaba mal: demasiado maíz y muy poco caldo. Incluso tuve que pedir un poco de caldo aparte para equilibrarlo. Lo mismo pasó con la guarnición de cebolla y cilantro; la proporción era casi toda cebolla, así que tuve que pedir cilantro extra. Probé los tacos de barbacoa y carne asada. Nunca había tenido lechuga en mis tacos, pero bueno, ahora sí. La barbacoa estaba buena, pero la carne asada tenía un sabor a shuquio, excesivamente fuerte a animal ese tipo de sabor que no debería notarse cuando la carne es fresca, No pude terminarme mi taco, tomé un bocado y tuve que escupirlo porque la carne sabía mal, y hasta sentí la necesidad de pedirle al mesero que la probara. En general, el servicio y el ambiente fueron geniales, pero el balance de sabores y la calidad de la carne necesitan mejorar. Seguiré buscando mi lugar favorito de comida mexicana reconfortante. Si alguien ha tenido una experiencia increíble con comida mexicana en cualquier parte de la región estoy dispuesta a manejar. Así que sigo en busca de "el lugar indicado" read more

i could leave this place one star i would. Worst service from our young lady server. From the moment we walked in. Didn't know basic manners we'd say thank you and she would just stay quiet. She still had the audacity to ask for a tip afterwords. Food was overpriced and the worst Mexican food I've had in this city. Dry meat and everyone in there was weird. Did not have a cozy warm feeling. read more

I'm always shocked to see low or negative reviews. My husband and I come here quite frequently and have never had a bad meal or bad service.

I really like supporting local or family owned businesses so I gave this restaurant a try and since it's right down the street from my work. I ordered the Carne Asada torta. It looked really good, but as soon as I bit into it, I got the taste of detergent from the bread. It was too strong. I could not eat the bread so I just ended up eating the meat. The meat was OK it's not true Asada meat. The green salsa was pretty good. But all in all I'd rather have a torta from Filiberto's and I am not a big fan of their tortas either. read more

Was excited about coming here but was very disappointed. Ordered a Chile relleno with rice and beans and corn tortillas on the side. The Chile relleno tasted like it was made days prior and left uncovered in a fridge to soak up every other flavor in the refrigerator then reheated and served to me. Also the corn tortillas were heated up in the microwave and hard on the edges and tasted like when they are heated up halfway in the microwave. Very disappointed. ​​​​ read more

It was ok I guess food has not much flavor but not completely bad the lady not to friendly either we always go to Pete's beside this restaurant and this time we decided to give it a try like I said not bad but we ain't going back read more

Honestly id rather eat at Filiberto's: chile rellenos were just plain battered peppers no cheese or toppings. Carne asada burrito super bland, and enchiladas were extremely mid. Dry and chunks of meet. Definitely not your authentic shredded beef enchilada. Only good thing was rice and beans. Very disappointed read more

I never like to give bad reviews but this was our second time at this restaurant and we know why we haven't been there in a while. I always like to support family owned businesses and always hope that the food is above average but today the food was average at best. We saw a plate come out to another customer that had eggs on it and expecting to see fried potatoes we saw french fries which possibly could've been asked for I don't know but normally you would get nice fried potatoes with your eggs but I'm not going to second-guess this one. I ordered a chorizo omelette with beans and it was just OK nothing to write home about but the beans were real watery. My wife ordered a Carne Asada Nachos and they were just average at best. The salsa wasn't very good especially the red salsa just really had no flavor. The best thing about our visit was the iced tea, it was at least very good. Very disappointed and probably will not visit again, usually when we've only been to a restaurant one time there's a reason. read more

I love this place but it's hard to get a hold of them, I think they got new hours? I've been trying to order a green Chile burrito for days

We've been going for so many years and the food has always been consistent but after today we're not sure about going back. I was stirring my husband's fresh cup of coffee and when I lifted the spoon back out there was a dead roach inside. Yes, the staff seemed genuinely apologetic but still charged us for the coffee. Nobody should ever have to pay for an item after that experience. read more

I've eaten here a few times and it's good! Nothing special, better than fast food but not a fine dining restaurant or top chef cooking! Just stuff you can cook from home! Definitely come here if you have extra money and don't feel like cooking from home, but again the food is 3 out of a 5! read more

We stop here to give them a try for menudo and sopes but it was so disappointed with everything. starting with no a/c inside and it was so hot...the menudo is just hominy and water because doesn't have any flavor and like around 3 piece of meat if you are lucky also the way they brought out the plate did not look good (forgot to take a picture).the sope is not fresh at all and flavorless. Don't waste your money here. read more

Went in today for lunch as my husband was in the mood for menudo. They gave us our drinks and salsa but no chips. I ordered sopes. When the food came my rice was cold and was bland. The sopes were no fresh at all. The menudo was hot, but was flavorless. Overall the experience was disappointing. We will never come back and definitely will bot recommend. Save your money or go somewhere else to eat. I'm sorry we stop at this place. read more

Eat local! Located in the town of Tolleson, sits this gem of a Mexican restaurant. Inside you will find a friendly and home vibe type of restaurant. There is nothing fancy about this gem however the food is on point! Twice I have ordered the red Chile burrito and twice I have been satisfied!!! The chips and salsa they give you (complimentary) are also good!!! I love this spot. Clean and friendly. I'll be back! read more

The two of us both had the Chile relleno and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would have preferred a restaurant that served alcohol but this was a fine place for a quick meal to satisfy our desire for authentic Mexican food. read more

I'll take a pass. The staff at Irma's Mexican Food are warm, friendly, and extremely personable, which is why I feel terrible for calling out their Mexican food as bland, tasteless, and poorly executed. The food at Irma's isn't so much bad as it is bland, and the presentation is sloppy, even for a fast food establishment. On this visit we had the Beef Tacos and Barbacoa Sopas, all of which border on terrrible. The Barbacoa Sopas were drowned in a tastelesd red sauce with a very small amount of diced up pieces of meat, and topped off with a combination of cheese, grease, and more grease. The food could have been worse, unpleasant flavors would certainly be worse than no flavor at all. I wasn't expecting fine dining, nor was I expecting terrible Mexican dishes. read more

The food is good, nothing extravagant or mind blowing. The menudo during the weekends is always on point. I usually get mine con pan, instead of with tortillas. Since I've been eating here for so long I always find my self ordering the same items... all the time. If it's not a breakfast burrito (ham, egg and beans), then it's menudo. Sometimes I get crazy and order the chile rellenos plate or camarones rancheros, both rarely disapoint. The camarones rancheros plate is a shrimp dish that is served with rice and Irma's signature runny beans. It is served up in spicy red sauce that is "muy delicioso" and garnished with lettuce on the side. The chile rellenos plate is what you would expect chile rellenos to be. No suprises here, just good sized green chiles stuffed with white cheese and coated with egg. This plate is served with the typical rice and beans and lettuce on the side. read more

Food was bland. Paid $13 for shrimp, rice & beans. No cocktail sauce available; had to put a lot of lime and ketchup on my shrimp to add flavor. They don't serve chips/salsa like other Mexican places. Soups are daily specials, so make sure you check the menu before you go. read more

Irma's Mexican Food - a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Tolleson, Arizona

This is a very plain basic, cafe like place. The food was good, but the kind of food I would make at home for my family, basic Mexican food that is good but nothing special or memorable. The rice I had some of it was hard, same thing goes for my tortilla. Kind of like a bad night of cooking at home... some stuff fails at times. You pay at a counter, which right behind is a microwave where the cook was warming up food.... did I eat last night's left overs? Again the food is decent, more like eating at a tias house when you pull up unexpectedly. I wouldn't say I won't go back but I probably won't. read more

Irma's is right next to Pete's fish and chips where the line was out on the road. This place was not busy at all, so I thought great, I'll try it. I walked in and tables are marked with an X to allow for social distancing. I go up to cashier (she's wearing her mask on her chin) to pay for my food. As I'm standing there waiting, I see another lady making food with no gloves, bare hands a tostada shell and adds the beans and cheese, she not only is preparing food with no gloves, she does not have a mask on! They bag it and hand the order to me...it was my order that was made with no gloves on! To top it off, the cook starts to cough after I grab my order. I walk out thinking did that just really happen? I will never go back to this place, I guess pricing is reasonable but cleanliness and safety in regards to Covid shows no concern from them for their own customers! read more

One of us had tacos , they other chicken enchiladas. Neither was very good, portion of meat inside was skimpy, rice and beans were barely warm. We watched her take the plates in and out of the microwave..still not hot. Chips and some kind of hot sauce, not salsa. Beans were so runny we scooped them with our chips, you couldn't eat them with a fork. read more

A gem of a joint! Truly small batch home made ! The chips and Salsa is addicting. The red chili burrito is off the charts, tender and packed with bold flavors. Go now! You won't be disappointed. read more

Only because the salsa and chips where great. Not fresh!!!! Meat tasted old! I ordered 3 sopes. Carne asada, green chile ( beef ) and barbacoa. The actual sopes on point! The meat however, not so good. Imagine when you put meat in the fridge to thaw out over night. But the next day you forgot all about it. The weekend rolls around and you open your fridge and you get brutally attacked by the stench of what was. Once a red juicy steak, now dried shriveled brown rotting protein mass. I'm not saying Irma cooked old meat but im pretty sure their lame excuse of carne asada had been cooked and reheated more times then I care to imagine. On a good note my wife liked their hard shredded beef taco. And for that my dearest Irma you get 2 stars. Ps the sound of the microwave door opening and closing never a good sign. Ill wait the extra 10 min to have pan warmed rice and beans. read more

We have been going to Irma's for over 10 years! They have truly the best Menudo ever! The meat is cut perfectly and the flavor is always on point!!! The chilaquiles are to die for!!! Their food is authentic and nobody makes beans like them...better than my Nana'a beans!!! Don't get me started on their salsa... it's hot, but delicious!!! read more
