    Chips and salsa
    Derek S.

    For a quick, texmex place with great chips and salsa, it's hard to go wrong here. Ambiance is a little loud and lively on the weekend, but the service is friendly and great. This place has the best fajitas!

    La marie lunch special

    Came here for lunch with a coworker and had a good experience! The service was great, very fast and our server was very nice. The restaurant itself was cute and had a ton of seating. I really enjoyed the complimentary salsa verde, it was kind of creamy so be mindful because it probably contains dairy. I ordered the crawfish enchiladas and they were pretty good. Definitely very American and the beans and rice could have been seasoned a bit more. Overall, I thought this place was good but definitely very Americanized.

    Tejas Combo

    I've been to this location twice. Happened to be here at lunch this time and had the Tejas combo. So yummy! They bring you a large basket of chips and two types of salsa for an appetizer. The combo was perfect. An enchilada, hard shell taco, and fajitas. I could do without the rice and beans but they are tasty but I try to avoid overdosing on carbs. Since I love the chips I spend my carb allowance on those. We ate in the bar and it was nice and service was well paced. Plus it was quiet. We definitely will eat here when in the area. Plus it's in the same complex as Spice Matket and I love browsing there!

    I thought Ninfa's went under sometime back in the 1990s. There was one in Austin - I remember it being really freakin' good - but it shut down and I cannot recall seeing another Ninfa's anywhere for the past 25 years or so. But then I discovered this location coming through Waco at dinnertime a while back, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a Ninfa's, to say the least. So we parked and headed in, and discovered they had... crawdad enchiladas. Yes, enchiladas stuffed with little mudbug tails. A dream come true. OMG. They were quite simply THE BEST enchiladas I have ever had in my entire life! I'm not even kidding. I am freaking out just thinking about them as I write this... COCK-A-DOODLE-DO! SO GOOD! I don't remember anything else. It doesn't matter. Crawdad enchiladas. Holy moly, it was perfect. From this point forward anytime I pass through Waco hungry, I'm going to come here and eat the crawdad enchiladas again. And again, and again, and again. God bless you, Mama Ninfa, for inventing crawdad enchiladas!

    We walked in after a graduation at Baylor and we were immediately seated which was awesome! Our server was great and attentive. The vibe was nice and chill and as the crowd grew the restaurant still remain comfortable and enjoyable, not to loud or overwhelming. The food was pretty pricey and it was good but I have had better. I wasn't the biggest fan of the rice but the green salsa was EXCELLENT. I do think it's a place everyone should try b/c it was good but I just have my favs when it comes to Mexican food.

    Passing through heading to Dallas, looked up a Mexican restaurant that could accommodate mine and…read moremy wife's Lenten appetite and saw this place on Yelp. 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!

    We love this local spot and choose it regularly…read more The barbacoa quesadillas for lunch are incredible. I can really only eat half, so I save the rest for later. 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.
