Ninfa's

A Houston institution, Ninfa's is considered to be the birthplace of the fajita. In fact, Tex-Mex cuisine is the restaurant's claim to fame, and fajitas are the biggest-selling item. You can also delight in carnitas, enchiladas, carne asada, burritos, and a variety of chicken breast platters and combination plates. As you absorb the lively ambience and yummy food, don't forget to try out the ninfarita, Ninfa's rendition of the margarita, which comes in regular and large sizes or by the pitcher. Family-owned.
