    We had the Tex mex enchiladas and it was delicious  and chips were endless.

    Service was excellent from start to finish. We had a wonderful server. She was so gracious and professional. Her name is Nesiah. Thank you.

    Beef fajita meat

    I've heard great things about this place, and finally got to go. It did NOT disappoint at all, in fact it was probably the best customer service I have ever experienced. Our waiter, Ryan, was friendly and seemed happy, which is what you want your employees to have when they work. Since it was my first time here, they brought me some sample tacos to try, and the manager brought them. He was so kind, and again, he looked like he enjoyed being there, and had a nice appreciation for food, which I love. The tortillas are HUGE and buttery, they absolutely melt in your mouth. The beef fajitas are amazing, and the beef is perfect. Most places, the beef is tough and hard the chew, but this beef caused no struggle at all. This is by far the best Mexican food I've ever had, with the best workers there. If you're thinking about going here, you will not be disappointed!!

    Steak was great very tender ! Service was more than exceptional went beyond to help! Restaurant was very calm and traditional. Only reason I gave it a 4 star was they used to have a Green Serrano sauce that used to make the fajita over the top.But last time we went for some reason the waiter said they got rid of it.

    This was very tasty. We had dinner here on our first night in town, my boyfriend used to go here when he lived in Houston. We weren't super hungry so we split the tableside guacamole and a half-pound order of the fajitas with steak and chicken. I've only had guacamole made tableside maybe one other time, and it was a treat. The fajitas were also very tasty, though I'll caution that the tomatoes they serve with them are pretty spicy. My boyfriend actually forgot his credit card there that night and we called the next night to see if they had it - they did, in their safe, and we were able to stop by at 930pm the next night, even though they closed at 9pm, which was excellent customer service IMO. Overall a very tasty place and I'd come back again when in town, I believe they have a few locations, too.

    Lupe Tortilla, I'm about to put you back on my do not eat list! I should've been done with you when I received pink chicken 2 years ago. I specifically asked for made to order fresh fajitas when I placed my order from your togo parking area. My order came out and my chicken and steak fajitas registered at 96 to 98 degrees according to my thermal temperature gauge. I wanted my togo fajitas to hot as if I was dining in at your restaurant, and they come to me sizzling hot! I sent the fajitas back and requested hot fajitas and you guys put the same fajitas in the microwave or back on the grill which somewhat dried them out! After waiting in my car for about 10 minutes they came back out. Yes they were hot and steam was coming from the container. It registered at 135 degrees, but when I got home the chicken was dry. The beef was somewhat dry but not dry as the chicken. That was very tacky that you microwaved or tossed the items back on the grill! Caroline was very polite and understanding and she did her job. 3 of the 4 Tortillas we severely overcooked. Not good!

    Birthday!

    Their brunch is amazing and I don't come here for brunch enough. Everything from the huevos rancheros, pancakes, and my favorite the enchiladas and eggs are all divine. Their iced coffee is pretty tasty too! We come here often and I can honestly say I have never had bad service or a bad meal here. My daughters absolutely love coming to Lupe Tortilla and my oldest just turned five and requested coming here just so they could sing her happy birthday. Our waitress was so amazing she got everyone to come out and they put the hat on her and my daughter was so overjoyed! Thank you so much for making my baby's day so special!

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.

The flavor of our steak fajitas was excellent, after dinner Ninfa's offers a free shuttle bus to the baseball park. They drop you off and pick you up after the game. Unfortunately, Houston did not win, but we thoroughly enjoyed the meal before the game. If you're looking for traditional Mexican dinner, do not miss Ninfa's.

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. I am including a photo of the overcooked beef fajita. A senior citizen can get the all beef lunch fajita special for virtually the same price as the fajita combo here ALL DAY at Pappasitos. 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?

Another highlight was the steak course and the heavenly chocolate dessert course, which was expertly paired with their take on an espresso martini. Chef's kiss! The restaurant is actually quite tiny, and I found it to be on the warm/muggy side, and it wasn't even that hot outside. Also, from a decor perspective, they could certainly use a "freshening up" though perhaps a newer larger location would be a better idea. Still, based solely on the food, my foodie friends and I agreed we would absolutely be back. Their Bibendum nod is well-deserved!

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.
