Irene's

Very fun atmosphere!
Go up to the counter and order type vibe.
Very laid back.
Food arrived quickly.
Service was good.
They have Self serve water out of a yeti cooler. That was different but oddly enough fit the vibe of the restaurant.

Well, finally got to get over to Irene's and it was worth the wait. Great atmosphere, great service and damn, the food. I'll go ahead and say best bbg in Como but not your traditional Q. Great medley of flavors and plenty of options. Great bar with anything you could want. Just go and eat and be merry.

So good! Everything is delicious and the staff is incredible. I can’t wait to go back.
Order at the entrance then find a seat. Several long communal tables but also some 4 tops and a patio area. Staff will bring utensils and napkins and you can help yourself to the water station. It is very easy to order more bar drinks or food using the QR code if the line at the entrance is too long. Staff is constantly circling to clear plates or answer questions.
We ordered tacos for the table, loved all of the meats and especially loved the house made tortillas, sweet potatoes and beets but everything was good. Drinks were great, too. I enjoyed a Paloma (or two). And don’t skip the mole brownie! If you are too full take one to go.

Went at dinnertime on a Saturday night and we managed to snag a table on the patio. The ordering process was really frustrating, you have to grab a menu at the door and they have a very cramped space for you to stand and decide before heading to the register to order everything you want upfront off the paper menu. We had no idea how any of it worked so it was really awkward and hectic right through the door. As we stepped up to order a large group of people walked in who also didn't know what was going on and the poor cashier had to yell over us to explain how it worked. Once we ordered we seated ourselves outside. Inside was mostly large community tables so not much privacy. Our drinks came out fast and were mostly really good. The strawberry margarita was meh. Our food took about 20 minutes but it was worth the wait everything was so delicious. I got the carne asada plate with the potato salad and it was simply devine. I wanted to order another drink and the only way you can do that is by scanning the QR code on your table number and ordering in an awful browser form and pay with your card. Overall the food was great but the experience was really chaotic and we left unsure if we'd return. If they make some much needed changes in front of house I could see this place really taking off.

Irene’s is fantastic! Every single item has amazing flavors and the ingredients are very fresh. Staff is extremely friendly and are very passionate about serving a great product and creating a great dining experience. Can’t wait to come back!
