" What a fantastic experience! I took my parents to dinner here and they loved it just as much as I did. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully designed, giving off an upscale vibe that we enjoyed. We ordered a range of dishes including the shrimp tacos and queso flameado, all of which were bursting with flavor. The waitstaff were attentive without being intrusive, which is often hard to balance. Plus, the complimentary chips and salsa were fresh and crunchy. Overall, I must say, this is the best place for Tex-Mex in the area. I will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mixed feelings about my recent visit to The Original Ninfa's. The atmosphere is lively, and the service was warm and friendly. However, I was disappointed with the food. The quesadillas were bland compared to other Mexican restaurants I've been to. I expected a more robust flavor, especially given the reviews I read. While it was still a decent meal, I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a fantastic dinner at The Original Ninfa's! The wait time was short, and we were seated quickly. The food was exceptional, especially the chicken fajitas. The staff was attentive, always checking in on us. Although a little pricey, the portion sizes were quite generous, and we left satisfied. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for great Tex-Mex in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Ninfa's was a whirlwind of flavors! From the moment we walked in until our last sip of the heavenly margarita, we were thoroughly impressed. The wait staff were attentive, and the food was super fresh. We couldn’t get enough of the queso flameado—simply divine! We tried nearly everything on the menu, and the portions were generous, to say the least. Overall, a delightful experience filled with delicious food, and I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went on a busy Saturday evening and it was as bustling as I expected. The service was friendly and despite the crowd, we felt well taken care of. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and while they were good, I felt they could have used a little extra kick. The ambiance was nice, and the drinks were fantastic. Overall, a good place for Tex-Mex, but I’m curious to try other dishes next time. " (*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.
