The Original Ninfa's

Wonderful Tex Mex chain in Houston. I had tried the downtown location a few years back and remember it being so good. Going to this location in Uptown I was reminded again how boozy their drinks are, how yummy their free salsa is, and the fajitas are so flavorful. Even down to their rice and beans sides tasted good. My friends got ceviche and flautas and the portion size was generous and tasted hearty and fresh. You seriously can’t go wrong with anything on this menu, both food and drink! We’ll definitely be back for another meal!

WOW I love this place! I am visiting and heard so many great things about this Tex-Amex joint. Did not disappoint! Our server Jessica was amazing- she was very attentive and fast. My husband and I ordered the tamale (it was off the menu but Jessica made it happen!) and the brisket enchiladas— AMAZING! It was the perfect amount of food. We left feeling very full but not disgusting. Oh! And the free chips with salsa was one of the best chips I ever had. My husband ordered the spicy margarita and he claims this is the best margarita he has ever had- and we go to Mexico often! Haha

I’m actually not a fan of Mexican food at all. (Ninfa is technically not Mexican but Tex-Mex though). But we had a delicious dinner - whole grilled fish and shrimp tacos. What I loved about tacos is that the tortilla was soft and not crispy - that way they don’t fall apart. Fish was deliciously cooked. Cocktails are cheap and well mixed. Place is huge. I would fully recommend this place and also come back!

The vipe & service were the hero of the night, but unfortunately, the food wasn't up to our expectation. I was in search for the perfect Tex-Mex Burger, but Ninfa's "claimed Award winning" burger was not well executed. Maybe it was my bad luck, or maybe the medium wasn't the right request as it came raw @ the center. For the price of $25, I was expecting perfection. On a positive note, the look, as u can tell from the picture, was mouthwatering😋 The Mushroom Cascadia & the wood-fire Quail were ok, but the complementary chips were just too hard to be served. I have had much, much better chips from food trucks. Last but not least, our waitress Valentina was so attentive & made us feel home.
