La sopa de rez ? Eso es lo que dan de carne. Y la sopa era muy poquito y el sabor muy feo.

una sopa que no trae carne solo gordo, es poca la sopa que viene y no sabe bien. 45 dólares por una sopa y un plato de camarones con arroz y el arroz igual sabía mal.

Ordered spinach enchiladas & a sweet tea to go. It was $20 and I got home to find no rice or beans. Rip off.

Have been hear many a time. Great hole in the wall Mexican spot. Everyone has always been friendly and staff is always on point with service. Food portions have always been good and flavor is on point as well. If you go with a group make sure to order the salsa picosa it's spicy and well worth it.

First time in Houston, and I kept seeing people online say Ninfa's is overrated. But every local I…read moreasked told me to go, so I went. Glad I did. Service was great. Our server was super friendly and kept things moving. Free chips and salsa to start. The chips came out warm and crunchy, with a red and a green salsa. Easy way to kick off the meal. I got the enchiladas suizas. Packed with chicken and cheese, and the salsa verde on top gave it a nice bit of tang that kept it from feeling heavy. Solid Tex-Mex. Didn't disappoint.

FAJITAS 7. As a native Houstonian, I was 10 when Ninfa's opened (1973). Growing up, we ate there…read moreseveral times each month. We'd rotate with Los Tios or Chinese every Friday or Saturday. As there is not a location near me any longer, we traveled to the original location. It was bustling with an attentive waitstaff and lots of people watching. Complementary valet (of course we tip) is a great benefit as parking is slim. Our waitress was Kady. She's been there for 50 years! Talk about an original. She was attentive to our needs but all business. We started with guacamole and queso. Guac was a huge portion with all the add ins. Queso was delish and served with fried flour tortillas (my fav). The gratis green dip, red sauce, and thick, crisp chips were on par. The fajitas. Just so so. Honestly, it reminded me of Taco Cabana. Very disappointing. Very little flavor and tough. The rice was yucky, the refried beans were the worst! Reminded us of the frito lay bean dip in a can. Even the Borracho beans were bad. HEB's in the can are far better. We received 2 corn and 2 flour tortillas. Fajitas served with pico, guac, sour-sour cream (I didn't even like that). Iced tea was fair. All in all, Fajitas very disappointing. If we had not been on the best fajita quest, I most likely would have ordered the chicken caldo soup. That never disappoints.

I live close to this place so I wanted to give them a try. This is what you call a "hole in the…read morewall" place. Don't judge a book by its cover! Service: I called in my order. The person who answered explained the breakfast menu to me. Was patient and nice. Gave me the price for 4 (potatoes and egg), 4 (chorizo and eggs), and 1 (nopal and egg) was $28.85 (cash only). Each taco came with beans and avocado in them. The person who answered is bilingual. Food: I picked up my food within 20 mins of ordering. When I arrived I was greeted with a smile. He doubled checked everything in my bag and offered me the different types of hot sauce they have. When I got home my food was nice and warm. The tacos were filled with eggs and potato/chorizo, beans, and avocado. They were very filling!! The tacos came with chips which is a nice touch! Overall the food was GREAT! The homemade hot sauce was good. The green sauce was my favorite. The service was amazing! I will definitely go back for breakfast tacos!! The person who checked me out also mentioned they do catering! So I will also like to try their lunch or dinner menu. I would recommend.

Bathroom 4/5: The door didn't lock nor did it close easily. Could've been fixed by now but you've…read morebeen warned. Dining Area 3/5: They did a good job making it feel like a Mexican restaurant but the dining area feels underwhelming. I usually order to go. Customer Service 5/5: The staff is bilingual so English speakers shouldn't be afraid to visit this location based on stereotypes. Food 5/5: The fajita taco was excellent. I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The salsa is spicy don't let them fool you. Start with a little and proceed according to your comfort. The drinks I would stay away from because they are oftentimes watered down or the flavor is lacking. Price 3/5: They only accept cash! $3 for a single taco or drink is a bit pricey considering the hundreds of other locations selling the same quality tacos for less. Vibe 5/5: Mi casa e tu casa Overall: 25/30. There's definitely room for improvement.
