    Beef fajitas
    Jennifer T.

    Food is AMAZING, decor is cute and kitschy, service is good too. 10 out of 10, recommend! Their salsa is so good and fresh!

    It was good, nice quiet spot for lunch. Plenty of hit sauce varieties. Staff was polite and the food was ok. Was anything wrong with it? No. I have had better.

    Standard neighbourhood Tex-Mex spot for West U. I think this spot was another Mexican eatery before that but I can't for the life of me remember what it was (twenty years ago). That place had more of a chain quick eatery feel. There's really only one vegetarian dish here, the Spinach enchiladas, and you have to have the caveat of remembering that only the black beans are vegetarian for the side. The charro beans and refried have meat and lard respectively. The enchiladas are rich due to the cream sauce and the portions are good. I would say this is a better deal than Escalantes but that's about it. Service is friendly the several times I've been here. You get the sense they have a loyal following of gentrified regulars from the neighbourhood. Last time I went was during the ongoing pandemic so they did not have black beans for the side. The staff were all wearing masks.

    Haven't been here since I first started my current job like 15 years ago when a few of us came while on lunch break. OMG idk why I haven't been back bcz this evening's welcoming service and scrumptiously delicious meal were perfect. Both waitresses were so warm and friendly, and sitting there, you can tell the community loves them and they love the community. Idk how I read the menu wrong and thought i saw and ordered stuffed avocado, but I guess the positive energy in this place knew exactly what I really needed. I was expecting a stuffed fried avocado but when my dinner arrived looking picture perfect, there was no way I wasn't going to enjoy it. It's not very often that I come across a Mexican food establishment that doesn't need a few shakes of salt to bring out the flavors. Antonio's didn't need any at all! Every item was flavored just right (chef's kiss), and the textures and consistencies were oh so nice. Oh, and they have these different flavors of hot sauce on the tables. LET ME TELL YOU!! The Mango Habenero and Papaya Habenero were the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I can't wait to go back and try more on their menu. Oh, and I was going to see if I could buy a bottle of each hot sauce, but the manager told the waitress to give them to me complimentary. My heart was so surprised and filled with gratitude of such a kind gesture.

    Hot salsa & cold water! (Salsa isn't that spicy, it is served warm tho!)

    Driving by this place many times, I finally made the stop for lunch. Walking in @ 1:10, I was surprised to see no other customers. After being promptly seated, two other parties arrived. The chips and warm salsa were served immediately with a cold glass of water (in a real glass). The chips are thin & crispy & not soaked in grease. The salsa is warm with a good flavor. I unwrapped the silverware from a cloth napkin. It was a nice touch that I didn't expect. I ordered the lunch #8, tacos regular. It is two crispy tacos (ground beef or shredded chicken), Spanish rice, charro beans, and pico de gallo. The beans were yummy. The rice was okay. It had the occasional pea, carrot, or corn kernel. The pico was on top of a lettuce pile which was good for adding more veggies to the tacos. I am glad I tried Antonio's Mexican Grille. I look forward to returning for happy hour!

    Very clean restaurant with great chips and salsa. The salsa is served warm and the chips are not greasy. I ordered spinach enchiladas with the black beans that are vegetarian. The generous plate includes two enchiladas, beans, rice and grilled veggies. Everything was delicious. I did ask them for little sauce on top of the enchiladas and should have also ordered little cheese. They are boat-loaded with cheese. There's antibacterial gel at the entrance and the waitresses wear masks.

    This place is super close to where we live, so I was optimistic. It's not bad, it's just not really that good. My husband and I went for dinner this past week and ordered: Stuffed Fajita Avocado Dinner Fajita a la Diabla Both were fine. The Stuffed Fajita isn't stuffed with anything, so I don't understand the name. It's chicken with avocado and cheese. I could make something very similar at home, and I can't cook that well, so it definitely was not worth the $15 for me. My husband said his fajita was fine but he said the tortillas tasted more like store-bought than homemade, and nothing was particularly special about his. They also only had a red salsa that was okay to start, and I much prefer a green one and have had many better red ones.

    Ticket, Antonios Appetizer,

    No one was here when we walked in so we were weary, but the food was really good and felt authentic, staff was okay some were very friendly some not so much. Food was plated quite nicely (not pictured) but it was quite expensive for what it was! 3-5 for the cost of food. Great tasting though but definitely a luncheon spot that shouldn't be priced this high

    Happy Cinco De Mayo! Met the ladies here to celebrate, & break bread…read more Thank you Jamila for selecting this original location of the Original Ninfas, to host, (our last supper, before your relocation from Houston to Florida.). A place I grew up in as a little girl in Beaumont but never have I've visit this "original" location. Stepping in to this spot felt like a restaurant in the country of Mexico. I ordered the El Henry. I absolutely loved my dish, only thing I would've chance was the cheese enchilada definitely would've swap for a chicken or beef one, or maybe even a flaunta. I really like the Mexican rice, it had little potatoes and carrots in it. Some of the best Mexican yellow rice I've had. They offer a cinco de mayo drink special. The only thing that seem to make it special was the drinks apparently were limited edition menu items. Nothing was special about the prices. The regular menu drinks were a dollar(s) less. The margarita I ordered first was peach coconut. I didn't taste the coconut at all. I swap for the peach strawberry ($14 or 15) which was great, sweet& strong. One did me just right. You get to select up to two flavors for additional $2 (for both verse each, that's a plus. Not worded on menu). If you select a third flavor an additional $2 would be added ($4 in total) I appreciate separate tickets provided after confirmation and no additional gratuity automatically added, which he got tip equally the same or more. When asked about the "empty" patio that was available, he informed us that the entire deck was reserved. Upon departing I noticed from the parking lot individual tables, of separate parties were occupying only 3 tables. It was 8 of us sitting at 2 tables. Which the table was pushed up against the wall, and one side was inaccessible, which took away spacing. Service was lovely space was really tight. Good thing some of the ladies didn't order full meals. Definitely wouldn't have been able to fit every plate.

Ambiance: upon walking in, it was chaos and sooooo many people standing up and sitting down. Walking around with drinks. I felt like I was in a club. A server made her way to me to take my Togo order. While waiting, I grabbed a drink at the bar and just made the happy hour cut off. Service was great as I was able to get my order and it was a large order. Everything was correct. The house margarita was ok, I wish I had gotten the hibiscus flavor. Order; Crab Tostadas Mixed Fajitas Snapper Mole Enchilada Ninfa 2 Tacos Margarita Mix The only thing I would order again is the crab tostadas and the beef fajitas. The chicken had no flavor at all. The charros beans and rice were not anything special. I was not a fan of either. Overall, we are not planning to order from here again. It just wasn't what Mark Weins made it seem like on his review. Also, whoever the driver was practically could not wait for me to turn around. Sorry, I had to take a pic. Very rude.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

The "queso" w/carne seemed to be out of a can-it was orange & didn't have the consistency of real cheese- wasn't really cheese & was disgusting. It was $9.99.

It definitely is enough for 2. The meat melts in your mouth. EVERYTHING is better quality than here. Teo charged $1.50 for perhaps 4 or 5 slices of lime to make the happy hour margaritas made with a gross mix drinkable. That's outrageous. It reminds me that I had stopped going long ago when they charged extra for onions on enchiladas. Come on. You don't charge extra for chopped onions! I have never been to another restaurant that does so. Some even provide carmelized grilled onions gratis. I'm convinced that a $15. YUMMY mango margarita at Pappasitos would have given us the same buzz & tasted better than 8 happy hour margaritas here. I used to love the in house made flour tortillas at Teo. Tonight they were tough & uneventful. We arrived on a week night when they were not busy. Neither of the salsas were as good as they used to be.The water pitcher didn't even have ice when they refilled the water. I have absolutely no desire to return. Why would I?

I prefer traditional homemade Mexican food but here we are. (Oh I googled and suggested this place lol) Went in for a team lunch on a Friday. Coworker's birthday lunch and she wanted Mexican. Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.
