Reasonable priced empanadas. Chicken emp is great, but the beef…too much going on there. Beef empanada got corn, carrot, potato?!, red pepper…like, nah. Just do all beef or a bit of onion but why all these veggies?

Stopped by Irma’s Cafe an hour before closing, but unfortunately, almost all the food was already gone. The only thing left? A couple of tacos—literally the only option. The staff was already gearing up to close, so the whole experience felt a bit rushed.

That being said, the tacos we did get were actually really good! Now I just need to go back at a better time to try more of the menu. Lesson learned—go early!

Such a great mom and pop restuarant that has both delicious Salvadorian and Mexican food. Went here with friends and we each tried a mix of their pupusas, they took a bit to come out but they were clearly made fresh and well worth the wait. We also had their tacos and guacamole, so flavorful and filling. Our server was attentive and very kind. Great reasonable prices for the high quality. Limited indoor seating but can take it to go. Will definitely be returning
