I was on my very first long biketour that allowed me to go farther than 50miles/80kms. That is, since "ageing out", my degenerating hams/quads/knees/thighs have meant that I must use an eBike, which I purchased seven months ago. Well, I bought the first part, an S40 CruzBike, a single recumbent. I bought The second part, an eBikeKit heavy duty 48V20A battery direct drive 26 x 1.5" wheel within a fortnight, building a hybrid dependent upon that rechargeable battery. Unfortunately, I couldn't go much more than 50miles/80km. BUT, I added a second similar battery, doubling my distance, hence my distance was no longer restricted. So my first excursion was 90miles/146kms West to ColumbusNM. While overnighting in the outstanding Pancho Villa State Park ($14usd cash only) and recharging both batteries--I saw a note about Irma's; I knew where I was going for Brekkie! The next morning I cycled to that excellent eatery, meeting & greeting a very hospitable Irma. I asked her about free WiFi, to which her smile turned upside down and she told me she "I was abused. People were showing up but not buying anything. I had to get rid of it." Her smile returned when I told her that I was here for food. "Go to the public library around the corner, on Broadway." My Brekkie was delicious--definitely worth returning for. IRMA'S has my enthusiastic "iWheel of Approval!" read more

Irma's kitchen is a place where they treat total stranger as their own family! Doña Irma always has a kind word for a customer at her restaurant. Her staff is super polite, friendly, service is always fast and the atmosphere is homey! Food is delicious. Traditional Mexican style options are cooked to perfection. They also have buffet on Fridays! Prices are unbeatable! Make sure you leave a good tip for the waitress because I know how hard they work to make your dining experience a superior one! Muchas gracias por todo! read more

Irmas Restaurant - Irma's kitchen bike parking - Mexican Near Me - Columbus, New Mexico

Irma surrounded me with a hug when I first walked in ..... probably because I walked in with my arms open wide! I had two Aunt Irmas, one spelled Erma but who cares? So I HAD to greet this Irma that way-- Then her food was like a great big hug--delicious, fresh, and made by Irma!! I ordered the chorizo scrambled eggs, and what a delicious choice-- half chorizo and half eggs, and flavorful. This restaurant is a wonderful place for any meal, I guarantee! I think she closes quite early (5:00, maybe)....so get there in time! Her waitress, at age 16 and adorable, had been with her for 3 years. That's love and dedication! read more

We ate here with great anticipation after reading the reviews. We were the only customers but one couple came in for carry out while we were there. The facility was immaculately clean and neat including the restrooms. My wife ordered the Chile Relleno plate and I had a Colorado Burrito and a Carne Asada Taco and a Ground Beef Taco. I was told the tacos were $1 each, when time to pay they were $2 each. The Relleno was OK but not anything special, the beans were very common and not real tasty. The Chile Colorado was mostly potatoes with the common red sauce of the area. The meat in the Carne Asasa Taco was very tough. Possibly we made the wrong food selections. To us the food was very mediocre. Don't think we will be making a second visit. I have worked as a cook, owned one restaurant and managed a second so I am familiar with the challenges of food service. Maybe your experience will be better. I had hoped to post a more positive review but have to tell it like we experienced. read more

What a gem this little restaurant is! Amazing food, friendly and efficient service, and Irma... we felt like family, and she prepares the food herself with love and skill. Drive to Columbus and eat here. You will not regret it! I had ranchero eggs, and the combination of ingredients was delicious. Really good iced tea too! read more

Irma has the a absolute best food! We've stopped twice now for breakfast of huevos rancheros and both times they've been delicious with homemade tortillas and beans with Mennonite cheese and had to buy burritos to go. We left full but wanting more! Definitely don't drive by without stopping! read more

Absolutely outstanding!!!!!!!! The meat in the carne asada was the best I've had, and everything tasted so fresh. Refreshing and satisfying. Even the rice and beans on the side were above average. Delicious and very friendly service! read more

Irmas Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Columbus, New Mexico

The food was great! Everyone there was very nice. We had breakfast burritos which were on point. Service was very fast. Restrooms clean. And apple pie is amazing! read more

We pulled off the road to grab some good old fashioned New Mexican food, and walked into Irma's. Irma welcomed us with such friendliness and made us an incredible breakfast - eggs, chile verde and delicious homemade tortillas. While the restaurant is just a simple building off the state highway, you'll be treated like old friends and the food is excellent. And it was cheap too! And as a bonus, if you look at the plaques by the bathroom, you'll see that Irma was commended by the US armed forces for her many years of working in the food services, feeding the troops. And now she has her own business, so go support Irma when you're driving through! read more

My family stopped in on Sunday and although we were the only ones there, Irma came out and greeted us with a beautiful smile and made us feel like family right away. She personally cooked our food and it was absolutely delicious and delivered hot, fresh, and just the way we ordered it. My brother ordered the pancakes and not only were they delicious but they were huge. Definitely a must stop if you are in this quiet little town Thank you so much Irma, we look forward to seeing you soon. From one Veteran to another thank you for your service. Semper Fi. read more

Absolutely awesome place to eat, I had breakfast there last year while staying at Pancho Villa State Park. Came back this year and did the same. Delicious authentic Mexican food, great service, very reasonable prices and a pleasant atmosphere. I had the chile rellenos last year and the smothered burritos with green chile this time.
