I hit this place while driving though New Mexico. Staff was very friendly. Decor is unassuming. My plate was delicious. They start you off with basic chips & salsa. The salsa was more than basic and had me asking for more. I imagined that if this was how they start me off, then my actual meal will be out of this world. Boy ol boy was it ever. I got the enchilada plate with red and green salsa, Christmas if you will. FLAVOR!!!! Nuff said. Enchiladas had a hint of heat while the rice & beans tasted totally homemade and authentic. The locals definitely have a gem and you have to stop by THIS restaurant if you're just passing through. read more

Called to order a fish soup asked about ingredients on the fish soup and the 7 mares couldn't give much info on what it had, asked about certain ingredients due to a recent surgery and restrictions on what I can eat, heard the lady ask someone about it and said they are asking to many questions, please keep in mind that someone might have just got a surgery, someone has food restrictions, someone has allergies this all applies on why someone is asking certain questions not because they want to make your day hard. After all ordered the fish soup but unfortunately it had spicy soup and I could not eat it had to just eat the fish with cabbage which was good just really wanted the broth read more

Pass by and ignore any negative reviews this place does a good job. read more

We stopped here for early dinner on the way to the west coast and will for sure stop when traveling thru again. Adriana was so friendly and courteous during our time there. The Parrilladas for 2 was amazing. There was plenty of food and it was delicious. The fajita meat, cheese, corn tortillas with avocado and grilled onions were served on a dish -which was shaped like a fish- warmed by a sterno. In addition you are served a baked potato with plenty of butter each and a bowl of the delicious charro beans made with hatch chili. The place has room for large groups and parking is on city street. read more

Irma's Mexican Restaurant - Parrilladas for 2 - FYI- I had already begun enjoying the meal. - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Deming, New Mexico

The service was very good. The food was good. All in my party enjoyed their meals. I wrote on one of the photos that when I ordered flautas they gave me corn tortillas. I'm from California and flautas are flour tortillas but I guess they are really differentiated by the size of the tortilla. They were definitely good. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Found this small family owned restaurant in downtown Demming. The salsa was amazing, nice and spicy! I ordered the Red Chile, rice & beans, and it was very good. I knocked off a star because the waitress didn't come check on me while I was eating. I probably would have ordered another beer. read more

We asked a local person where should we have brunch and without hesitation they said go to Irma's. So we pulled up and went inside. It's a delightful restaurant with bright colors and such a welcoming feel from the moment you step inside. There was a warning that we'd be a bit on peak times, 30 minutes, and they was the case as every table was full. I took that as a great sign. If people are lining out the door, it must be great. We were given chips, amazing salsa and drinks quickly. And then they took our order shortly after. My food was hot and so tasty, it felt like it was slow cooked with all old family recipes. I got a sample plate with green chili and enchalada and taco, beans, rice and it was a huge plate so filling. I loved the salsa so much they sold me a huge cup on the side to bring home. If you can make the time, this is a great place to sit, eat and relax. They even had a TV so hubs could catch the football game. It wasn't distracting, just a nice convenience. Will return next time I'm through town, and I've already recommended to friends. read more

Traveling through Deming from AZ to Texas. Stopped in Deming and tried Irma's based on Yelp reviews Did not disappoint. Service was amazing food even more amazing. Salsa was perfection. Four of us all tried something different fajitas, combination with taco enchiladas and chili Relleno all delicious. Red chili is amazing green chili tasty as well. If your not sure which to try get it Christmas style red and green. Being a green chili girl glad I tried both pleasantly surprised that the red chili was my favorite just the perfect amount of spice and heat. Definitely putting this in my go to place when driving through Deming. Totally worth 5 stars in my book read more

Great local find! Carne asada burritos and chicken enchiladas were grindy! And delicious homemade salsa

Got there at 745pm so ordered to go. Ordered cheese enchiladas with a side of guacamole rice and beans. The corn tortillas were drenched in red sauce, not rolled and there was absolutely NO cheese! The red sauce was very spicy, which was ok but not expected. The guacamole was good. My husband's shredded beef burrito was ok. Disappointed since this place had been recommended and was looking forward to wonder CHEESE enchiladas. read more

I love mom and pop style Mexican restaurants and I was excited when I came across this one as we were passing through Deming. We called in an order for pick up and took it with us to the Walmart parking lot while we charged our truck. For ease of eating on the go, I decided on a steak quesadilla instead of my usual Mexican order of enchiladas. The quesadilla was delicious! Looking at the photos of the rice convinced me to get an order of it on the side as it's the perfect definition of what Mexican rice is supposed to be. I'd love to eat in restaurant here but we're only ever passing through Deming at Christmas with our pups on our way from Albuquerque to San Diego so I'm not sure it'll happen but I'd be happy to pick up food to go still. read more

We stopped by coming back to Tucson from Hatch because of the Yelp Reviews, and they are well deserved. The food is very similar to what I grew up in Globe and it is simply delicious. First the salsa, amazing. A perfect balance of sour, sweet, acid, and heat. It tasted of the tomato and chili with enough of a bite that it drew you back for more. In my opinion it is competition worthy and they say it has won a few. We got salsa to go. I had a bean and cheese burrito smothered Christmas style (red and green chili). The beans had a deep roasted flavor with a slight sweetness and creaminess with pieces of beans and were wonderfully moist. The best part is they had a perfect level of salt, often they tend to be over salted and drier, and these had the perfect balance. Tortillas were fresh made with a nice roast to them. The sauces were also award winning. The green chili sauce had a mild heat, slightly sweet with a lovely acid bite. The red chili was roasted, warmer than the green, and not oily (which takes skill when making it traditionally). It was silky smooth and you could taste chili. The shredded beef chimichanga, which had a lite fry and was not greasy. The meat was tender, a great balance of seasoning, and not oily but super moist and juicy. The rice had a deep roasted tomato flavor and a perfect cook, so enough bite that it held up to the sauces but also completely cooked through. The wait staff were wonderful. We were greeted by Liz, the daughter of the owner and every staff person was friendly and welcoming to all the customers. If you are looking for a place to stop in Demming, this is now our go to when we travel this direction and we recommend you do as well. read more

Pass on this place. Do not go here I had a bad feeling from pictures. Save your money eat somewhere where you are taken care of and the food is dumped with salt. I would pass on this town. No communication, I said excuse me as she was walking by and thought she would stop, so i asked for a refill but she completely passed me. Came back and dropped our drink on the table. Marisol/maribel that "waitress" was a b. Never had worse service and usually don't rate heavily on customer service, but the food was just as bland. I'm assuming the area keeps a convenient crowd coming here. read more

Oh my goodness! Thank you Yelp for this wonderful find! A small, woman owned business. The food was so delicious, Irma's sister was our server and she took good care of us. Loved the prints hanging on the wall. Back to the food, I had the albondigas soup, the small was the right size, so many meatballs. My husband had a combo plate, the other two in our group started out with one taco and had to keep ordering them, they were that good. Overall, whenever I am driving through Deming, Irma's is my go to place for delicious food! read more

The food was so good!! You must get a burrito smothered in green chile! Service was pleasant and quick.

First of all, the service was great. We started with the chips and salsa. It was really good, flavorful and a little spice. My wife and I shared the Fideo. It was good. A little salty but tasty. I had the green chili plate. I liked it a lot. I would order it again. My wife has the red enchiladas. Again, they were good. As visitors from California I was looking forward to some good red and green chili. Irma's represented really well. I just wished it was a little spicier but all good. Good Job Irma's. read more

Irma's is one of the places recommended by my Airbnb host while I'm in Deming. The place is clearly popular. It's in a center of this small town and most people seemed to go there for New Mexican food (though they offer breakfast dish until noon and some pasta/American dish as well). Most dishes are around $8-$10 and typically come with complementary basket of chips and salsa. I'd say the chips and salsa were pretty nice. Their NM dish though was quite large. Tasty but so large that I think I left half uneaten. I've been wanting to try stuffed sopapilla...but honestly after trying it, I by far preferred eating sopapillas as part of my desserts than as savory stuffed ones. The taste was good..but I just didn't like the mushy-ness when it's stuffed and smothered in chili/cheese. Overall, Irma's is quite affordable. You do get a hugeeee dish to eat..and probably can take some home. I'm not a fan of eating leftover Mexican food the next day though..so I left mine without taking it back. That said, if you like NM food and are hungry..this is a good place to eat. My host recommended the chicken enchillada with egg on top though...so maybe you should try that instead. And, as always, for those undecided on chili, ask for xmas sauce..woth a mix of red and green chili! read more

Delicious New Mexico-style Mexican food in a quaint cafe-style setting. The service was fast, and I was never left without a full glass. It is bustling inside, but they are quick! Don't pass this up if you are in Deming! read more

Kinda hack, but in the most "Te amo, abuelita" kind of way. Nobody's gonna call gma hack, cuz she's gonna fill the table with delicious food. They started me with chips and salsa, and as you'd expect from a New Mexican place, at absolute worst, it's lowkey one of the best I've ever had. On the spicy side. Thank you, NM. My meal was massive and all of it was good. I got the parridillas, which was good, as were the sides. I ate way too much and I feel sorry for wherever I stop in like 12 hours. The sopapilla SLAPS and is fifty cents. I'm over-full like a disgusting pig and this sopapilla is going in my mouth. 10/10 I love these things. If you're eating donuts in 2023 instead of sopapillas you're just doing life wrong. Honestly, I feel like you could go to a place like this with your SO, get chips and salsa for free, order drinks, get four sopapillas, and slap a twenty on the table and leave happy. Skip the fast food in Deming and sit down here for a bit. Worth. read more
