Wannabe Mexican.
Oscar C.

The food was terrible!!!!. Food had no flavor, everything tasted weird. Sorry Irene you need to get another cook and better ingredients.

Cheese quesadilla
Briana R.

I absolutely love this place! It's clean, super fast, friendliest waiters and such great food! I've been coming here for years doing takeout orders as I pass through town. I recently decided to dine in and loved the experience. We ordered a cheese quesadilla for the kids and my husband and I had beef tacos, beans and cheese enchiladas and everything was so flavorful and perfect. Highly recommend the #1 with double beans! Can't wait to return next time I'm in Globe!

Inside

Nice service. Salsa was good cold but spicy and chips fresh! #4 combo was almost great, the beef taco and bean tostado were tasty, the beef tamale was dry but the beans and were also good! I had the salad with green chili and refried beans and no shell. It was delicious and filling. The green chili was a little runny which made the salad and refried beans a little soupy but still good. Tender pork and beef. Great waitress

Outdoor seating
Evelyn D.

We stopped here for lunch since it advertised outdoor seating (see picture) but we started anyway and boy am I glad that we did. It is a small place with booths and tables. The service was very good. They came out with free chips and salsa. The chips were nice and fresh and the salsa was wonderful- smooth, a bit smoky, and had a nice heat at the back of the mouth. Hubby ordered a #10 combo. The taco was excellent, nice beef/steak inside; the chili rellenos was very good, and the enchilada , which was hard to find with everything else on the plate was excellent. I had #6. I opted for a green chili burrito that was amazing. The chili rellenos was very good and the tostada was nice. Both plates came with rice and beans that was very tasty but more than you could eat. Next time Globe I know where we will eat.

Chicken burro enchilada style with red sauce, rice and beans
Emily M.

I don't know why this place doesn't have better reviews. I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken burrito enchilada style with red sauce. Our server was incredibly kind without being overbearing. She's a local that was born and raised in Globe. We had time to chat a little and learn about her thoughts and feelings about her hometown and she has nothing but kind and loving things to say. I'm very impressed with our entire experience there. It's a family friendly restaurant with amazing food and I highly recommend!

Combo #2 (Chili Relleno & Tamale), and a chimichanga
Robyn V.

Well worth your visit! Great warm welcoming service by Linda, excellent food, not over salted like most Mexican food, and excellent pricing! Overall wonderful, will visit again, and I'm posting some updated pics of their menu!

Taco and enchilada combo
Phil S.

Great combo dishes, I like the enchiladas here and the great ambiance, very friendly! Service is really good and folks are very friendly. Good for groups not so much fun alone.

Globe - Miami Mexican food is really as good as the legends claim. I've been coming to Irene's for many years and gotta say, a regular burro enchilada style with a taco is excellent every time. They've been short staffed lately but that's kinda everywhere these days. The server on my last visit was busting his tail to keep up with the customer volume. And as expected, when the food arrived, everyone in my group cleaned their plates off. Tasty. Tasty. Do yourself a favor. Try all of the Mexican places in Globe and Miami.

#5 enchilada style ($3.25 extra) and chicken mix chimichanga (front).
Debbie D.

Service is very fast for a sit down eatery. The staff are all friendly and attentive but not hovering. The beans, rice and main dish was delish. The quac. and salsa was fair. This was our first time and we'd definitely try again, but do prefer nearby Los Robertos for their sauces and burros. The great thing about Irene's is the breadth of their menu- so take a look at that for sure- something for everyone!

It may not look like it from the outside, but this restaurant has lots of character inside. When we…read morewalked in, we could smell the delicious food. Unlike a lot of restaurants, it didn't smell like grease. Our waitress, Desiree, was friendly and very attentive. The food was some of the best Mexican food I have had in a long time. Fortunately they were not out of the carne asada for my burro. My husband's shrimp were still steaming over 5 minutes after they were served. The red sauce they were in tasted good. The chips were fresh and salsa had a nice kick to it. We tried the deep fried jalapeños and decided to place an order of them to go along with a combo plate and another burro. We will be back. It's a bit of a drive, but if we can drive an hour to Mesa to eat, we can do the same for Globe (ourother two experiences with Globe food were horrible).

The restaurant is not very large, but it is decorated in bright cheery colors and Mexican decor,…read morewith even the tabletops having scenes on them. We shared a table for six with another couple who happened to be passing through town as well. I was disappointed that they didn't have any chili rellenos that day, but I got a cheese enchilada and beef taco from the ala carte menu. It was all tasty. We also had some complimentary chips and salsa (a bit zippy for my taste, but my husband liked it.). Service was friendly and efficient and the food came out quickly.

Located right by Burger King, I was looking for some hearty Mexican food!…read more I ordered the #5 and it arrived to my table with care! Did you see the extra little chips around my beans? That was nice. It's the little things that make customers feel appreciated! They have two salsas, red habanero and green tomatillo type, which was my favorite. The guacamole was actually guac - not full of sour cream like other restaurants use to increase the product. The girl working in the restaurant had such a JOYFUL presence and was in a great mood, a little giggly, with the cutest laugh. She even helped a little boy and his mom with a toy/quarter machine. The little boy skipped his way out, he was so happy! This crew must enjoy what they're doing! Guys cooking in the back were fast! She recognized customers as they came in and was kind to everyone, wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving! The food was EXACTLY what I was looking for... hot, fresh, seasoned nicely and very filling. The Burro meat was deliciously juicy, rice - savory, beans - authentic! Enchilada sauce was full of flavor, but not spicy. Loved it! This place played nice calming music, not too loud and the tile work in the entire place was beautiful! There's plenty of table space including high tops. Bathroom smelled like it had just been cleaned, everything was so tidy! I'll be back again to try the carne Asada!

This was a quick stop on a drive. My husband and I shared the Jimmy special platter with whole…read morebeans, avocado, green peppers, onions, lettuce, pico and 3 corn tortillas + we got 3 extra corn tortillas. Whole beans here are lard free and vegetarian. The flour tortillas contain lard. It's counter service fast food feel but the inside was nicely decorated. They have this plate as a vegan option as is and the person I spoke too was knowledgeable about ingredients . They had 3 different house-made salsas on the salsa bar. They gave me a sample of the Jamaica drink which was WAY too sweet for me. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

La Luz Del Dia - My humongous chorizo burro - could only eat half!

Finding gems like these on Yelp is what keeps me loyal to Yelp! Ive been on Yelp since 2006 (close…read moreto 20 years and well before Google maps or reviews ever existed) and without it, I would have missed out on a lot of cool and neat places like this! Thanks Yelp for helping me find 20 years of good eats, drink and fun! La Luz Del Dia means "the light of the day" in Spanish and boy is this place bright and cheery and the perfect start to a glorious and beautiful Sunday morning. You know this place is gonna be good because as I drove down the deserted road nary a car through downtown Globe and arrive at this place, you see a bunch of cars parked huddled near this place. I knew it wws gonna be good. I walk into this unassuming place and almost every table is taken at close to 9am on Sunday. There were a few seats at the counter facing the open kitchen so I made a beeline to sit down. Wait staff and customers in here are so nice and friendly! The cute girls working here are fast and efficient, and super sweet and all with a smile. I was pretty hungry as I hadn't eaten since Friday breakfast and was ready to gobble up a good breakfast. I had a chorizo burro (same as a burrito, still trying to figure out the difference) and a cup of coffee. Coffee was ok, and did the job. But, the burro was great! Southwest breakfast burritos are some of the best, and when you're in the Southwest, definitely don't pass this up to have. This burro was also huge and despite the fact I was famished, I could only eat a half of my burro. You can get red or green salsa, but since I am a spice pansy, I opted for the red, which was still more spicy than I can handle. By 9:20am, I was finished eating and ready to go. You go up to the cashier and pay there. There's a desert and drinks case by the register and lots of goodies there to choose from too. There was baklava, orange cake and brownies on offer. I also spied a chamoy pickle for sale too, here in the Southwest when the summers get so hot, having a pickle is sometimes in order to replace the salt we lose sweating so much! Overall, I loved this place! Loved the atmosphere as its kind of an old school diner, and everyone in here was a delight and the food was delicious! I'll be back again when coming thru Globe again! And you should definitely check this place out when passing thru Globe!

Stopped in for Breakfast on my way to Safford…read more Definitely family owned, very busy location, during my short time there it stayed consistently busy. Tiny location, the counter top is the choice seat. Food was really good with ample portions. The green chilis and pork in the Huevos Ranchero were excellent. Will come back again.
