" Had a fantastic experience from start to finish at The Original Ninfa's! Our friends took us there, and we thoroughly enjoyed every dish. I tried the beef fajitas, which were at the top of their game—tender and flavorful, just the way I love them. The atmosphere made the dining experience even more enjoyable, as the environment felt upscale yet comfortable. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had brunch here, and it totally exceeded my expectations! The chilaquiles verdes were fabulous, with just the right amount of spice and freshness. My partner ordered the breakfast tacos, which I stole a few bites from, and they were delicious as well. Our server was very friendly and genuinely cared about our experience. The ambiance was perfect for a Saturday brunch—great music and a lively crowd without being too loud. Highly recommend trying out their brunch menu; I can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to try Ninfa's during a recent trip to Houston, and it was simply fantastic! The staff welcomed us pleasantly and quickly seated us. We began with chips and salsa that were surprisingly delicious. For our main courses, we shared the chicken and beef fajitas. The flavors were bold, but I could tell the meat was cooked to perfection. The restaurant was bustling but still had a cozy vibe. Highly recommend for anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Original Ninfa's was absolutely worth the visit! The atmosphere was vibrant, and we loved the decor. While waiting for our food, the complimentary chips and salsa were a nice touch. When our food arrived, the nachos were larger than expected! I tried the pollo asado, and it was well-cooked, but I was hoping for a bit more spice. Service was excellent! I will return soon, as I enjoyed my experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my visit! The Original Ninfa's has a lovely ambiance that makes for a great dining experience. The service was great, and I appreciated the attention from the staff. I ordered the enchiladas, and while they were tasty, the cheese could have been more flavorful. Overall, I recommend checking it out for some good Tex-Mex, just maybe try a different dish after my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was so disappointed with my meal at The Original Ninfa's. I’d heard so much hype about their food, but when I tried the chicken enchiladas, they were bland and unremarkable. The ambience was nice and the service good, but the food just didn’t cut it for me. I definitely won’t be recommending this place to friends. Hoping they fix the issues because I really wanted to enjoy it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to The Original Ninfa's was quite enjoyable. The atmosphere is lovely and the food is solid. I went for dinner on a busy Friday night and was pleased with how attentive the staff were. I had the el henry plate and it was satisfying. The portions are ample, though the flavor didn't quite hit the spot for me. Overall, it's a good place, but I might try something different next time.
