- JJoyVIPHouston •3 reviews4.0Dined on May 7, 2025Food was amazing and we were seated at a round table, my fave! The staff was also very nice and amazing, however, they sat a large group right next to us. I could barely hear my family talking with the big group next to us. It wasn’t their fault but I would have appreciated the big group to be sat somewhere else in the dining room where there was plenty of opened tables.More infoIrma's SouthwestPrice: Expensive• Mexican / Southwestern• Downtown•4.9
