Absolutely everything at this restaurant is amazing from the decor to the service and of course the food. The nachos were on point as was the fajita Burger, they also carry several local beers that pair well with that cuisine. It's been there for over 50 years so I guess it's pretty good

From the food to the service, everything was excellent! The staff was friendly, fast and made you feel so welcomed! Steak fajitas for two, full of flavor, cooked perfectly and was enough food for 2 adults, a toddler and some to take home. Plus the margs are fantastic. We enjoyed sitting in the back room, it was less loud and felt more spread out.

The food was fantastic. I hadn't been in a year or so and wanted to take some friends in from out of town for great food. It did not disappoint. All of use cleared our plates. Great job.

Great service at bar. $19 large guacamole was not large and the ? were not ripe. We had 6 different entrees, all good. Desserts need improving. My Kahlua flan wasn't creamy but overbaked and rubbery. No Kahlua flavor. The waitress tried to hide that the tip was included and never mentioned it when I handed her a cash tip. Thank goodness I noticed on the receipt and got my cash back before we left. The service was slow and the waitress would pass by our table and just leave the dirty dishes.

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. Today, my friends and I shared the large portion of chicken fajitas with rice and beans. It was enough to feed four people. The food was delicious, hot and fresh. I especially loved their homemade flour tortillas. The service was great as usual. Overall, great experience.

We were a party of 10 family members gathering as some were visiting Houston from another coast. We chose Ninfas on Navigation because it was our favorite from many years ago when we first were introduced to Tacos al Carbon at Ninfas. We had a nice table in a back room with just a few other tables and had one waiter who took care of all of our needs the whole evening. Cocktails were great but the food was superlative! Delicious queso and guacamole. Then we tried a selection of enchiladas , Jumbo Shrimp, Tacos al Carbon, vegetable tacos and a few combo plates. Everyone was delighted with their food. It was just as good if not better than we remembered it. We finished off with sopapillas, tres leches and Mexican chocolate cake to share around the table. The interior has a very authentic feeling. When the weather gets cooler the patios will also be very comfortable for dining as well.

This was our second time at Ninfa's and we loved it! The fajita beef was outstanding and the chips and salsa were so delicious. The best part, though, was our lovely server Juanita. We had her the first time and specifically requested her again. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. Ask for Juanita!

Everyone knows how richly flavorful, authentic and overly filling Ninfa's portions are. Wish there were more locations especially on the south east side. Only minor negative is how loud it is. It is really hard to talk to your table mates. But everyone is happy to be there so we just added to the loudness! Haha Fajitas were excellent and the Cochinita Pibil is the most deeply flavorful shredded pork goodness. I had the Uptown Margarita for the first time and it went down way too easy.

Make a reservation! They take walk in customers, but we went before a concert and it was packed! Having a reservation got us seated immediately. And they honored it even though we were late (I called). Food is outstanding, margs are strong!!

The original Ninfa's is legendary, and rightfully so. Great food, great service, authentic.,,just what you'd expect. Definitely go if you haven't. Go back if you have. I will!
The food and service were excellent. I will return for lunch. The staff accommodated us graciously when asking to prepare a take home package. We ordered a lot of food. The presentation and the flavors of the Ceviche make a great appetizer for two or three people.

Amazing authentic Me I am food and cocktails-would recommend without hesitation.

We found this to be so delightful. The ceviche was the best we have ever had, so fresh. The mushroom quesadilla and Antiquas enchiladas were amazing and the sauce again so fresh. The rice and beans delicious. The Margarita key lime pie was divine. Even the chips and salsas were incredible. We like the Navigation Margarita too. The tiles were beautiful. And where to begin on the service. It was above excellent. So attentive.
Our car was broken into in their parking lot. Great food, horribly un-secure location. Don't leave anything in your car. The restaurant doesn't care if your vehicle is vandalized.
