HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña has quickly made his love for Houston food, restaurants and businesses known.

When he's not appearing in H-E-B commercials with teammates Alex Bregman, Jose Altuve and Lance McCullers for Salsa Night, he's lighting up billboards along Houston freeways for Taquerias Arandas (but keep your eyes on the road!). Peña, by the way, says the crispy tacos are his favorite.

Now, add another beloved Houston institution to the list of Peña's places: Irma's in the heart of downtown Houston.

If you're wondering what he ordered, here it is:

  • Handmade pork roast tamales
