First of all service was great. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and made sure we had what we…read moreneeded. Ambience was nice. Little loud but not bad. We had the Fajitas for two. Disappointed. We received our order about 2 minutes after she left the table. Fajitas were luke warm, and had the texture of those prepackaged fajitas.Very bland. Tortilla's are said to be homemade but def undercooked, this might be a preference. It was ok but not what was expected after great reviews. Not trashing this place but just wasn't for me.

I love Ninfa's!…read more Service here is always friendly and upbeat. There's a decent size parking lot in front. I like the plants and Mexican decor. They have a taco salad that is absolutely delicious! Their margaritas are also on point. The Waco restaurant is a little more homey and not quite as luxe feeling as the Houston locations, but it can be solidly relied upon for good, filling Tex-Mex, so I love to stop by when I'm in town.

We had indoor reservations and moved them outside to the patio just 5 hours before our dinner, as we had enjoyed the patio the prior evening. But then the wind kicked up something awful and we had to ask to be moved back indoors as we arrived. Yet they were happy to make that happen. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food tends to be milder here (nothing too spicy for Waco, lol) but everything was well prepared with quality ingredients. The cocktails were also very nice. I definitely enjoyed my jalapeño margarita. It's a large venue. The porch holds about 24 people. The back room holds about 30. And the main room is even larger. It's a multi-page menu with many options. Everyone in our party was happy with their selection. And I would totally come here again.

Thought we'd give it a try seeing as it was 10 minutes off I-35. Found the small place and it was exactly what we were looking for! The chips and salsa was super tasty, the half and half tea was on point, and you can't go wrong with a Mexican coke! Ordered the cheese enchiladas plate and the wife got a quesadilla. We were pleasantly satisfied and they hit the spot. Tbh though, the beans and rice won my heart being so flavorful and delicious. The service was superb and I appreciated their thoughtfulness of checking on us to make sure we were doing ok. All in all, we highly recommend you visit them if you're in the area, we got a table quick around 7 pm and it was a quaint epic time! Try it soon and you won't regret!

Their homemade chips are light and crispy, and their salsa is super flavorful while not overly spicy. It hits that happy medium between my husband and me. Breakfast is also great. You go in and pretty much grab a table unless there's a line with people waiting. Service is always friendly and efficient. Prices are fair. Typical mom and pop type interior with a mixture of booth seating and tables with metal chairs. It's always clean. Branch out and try something new. Highly recommend.
