    It's a small place, but so so worth it. It's delicious authentic and family owned. They have a lot of variety on the menu so there is something for everyone. We came for breakfast and wet w a big group and they accommodated us well. Everyone was nice and helpful and the food came out super quick! Come give it a try!

    It's been a while but I think we got Caldo de res and a rib-esq beef and poblano fajita dish

    We had a fantastic time (back in June but I knew I wanted to give a review!) the food was so delicious. I liked that the michelada was served with the beer separate so you got the whole beer and could adjust it to the strength with the flavoring you liked. and it was so awesome that they even had (really good) live music (singing)! We went on a Saturday night. We don't live nearby but I'd love to go again!! Very kind service as well!

    Best Mexican spot, a place that makes you feel welcomed when you walk in. Service was great portions even better. Margaritas on point

    Always amazing! Service is quick and customer service attentive. We've tried many different dishes and they always feels home cooked!

    Agave you every chance

    Agave a lot of my money to various Mexican restaurants over the years. I'm glad this is one of them. Los Agaves is one of the better Mexican restaurants in town. Everything here is delicious and there's a huge portion of the menu that's authentic and terrific for those from Mexico or who want to eat actual Mexican food the way the Mexicans do in Mexico. It's not expensive in Texas to eat good Mexican food, and here is no exception, where a lot of the menu is dirt cheap and nothing short of delicious. Amazing place, and you can consider us regular customers from now until further notice.

    Excellent food and service! So glad we decided to drop by on an early Saturday dinner. Love the variety of combo plates. The a la charra bean soup is tasty with bits of smoked sausage. Beef is nice and charred and fresh tasing tortillas seal the deal. It's your perfect neighborhood TexMex place, and yes, the chips and green and red salsas are yummy.

    Came here for HH on a Friday afternoon & we were seated immediately. Small Margaritas were only 2.50! Our food was yummy, nothing super special but it had good flavor. Our service was amazing! Everyone was super friendly & accommodating. I loved the energy in this place! In total for about 4 margs, 2 entres & dessert it was a total of $48. Happy hour is Monday-Friday 3 to 7pm.

    Quesadilla with rajas
    Holly H.

    The food here is classic. They serve you with chips red and green salsa and also pickled veggies while you wait. They have a combination of tex-mex and Mexican dishes. I ordered the quesadilla with rajas and it was really good. The veggies in it were seasoned really well! It was a mixture of poblano or maybe jalapeño, tomato, and onions. My husband had the al pastor, tripas, and bistec. He said the flavors were reminiscent of Mexico. I would have loved to try more food, but I wasn't that hungry today.. I'll leave that for next time!

    Carne Guisada Tacos and Grilled Chicken Fajita tacos
    Olivia H.

    This place is one of my favorite taquerias! They have the best salsa and their carne guisada tacos were so good that I've been craving them since I came here. Fast service, affordable prices, and a very clean place, definitely give them a try!!

    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.

Our server was efficient took our our order and in a few minutes, we had sizzling fajitas at the table....With all of the anticipated queso, chips, salsa, and condiments for our fajitas. 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.
