The Original Ninfa's on Navigation

Located on Navigation Boulevard just minutes from the heart of downtown Houston, the Original Ninfa's was all started with Mama Ninfa Laurenzo's creative TexMex recipes. These led to the introduction of fajitas & Mexican cuisine to North America which gained immediate success.

If you're looking for a Houston Mexican restaurant, Ninfa's on Navigation is not only a local icon, having serviced politicians, celebrities & even visiting royalty, their Mexican food is unbeatable. Chef Alex Padilla uses only top quality ingredients, like Mama Ninfa herself did, & fresh Gulf of Mexico seafood like red snapper, jumbo shrimp & more.

Voted Best Margaritas, you can enjoy Ninfaritas on the outdoor deck, dine on the best Mexican dishes & fajitas around and truly enjoy the great restaurant experience.

Disappointed First Visit – Hoping for Better Timing Next Time We had a reservation for Thursday, May 8, 2025, at 12:30 PM. Despite that, getting seated took longer than expected and felt disorganized—perhaps due to the day or shift change, as it was clearly a busy time. Our appetizer, the queso flameado, arrived with the entrees rather than beforehand, and unfortunately, it was cold. This made it unappealing, especially for those in our party unfamiliar with the dish and expecting it to be served hot and sizzling. Of the five entrees we ordered, mine was incorrect and replaced with a completely different dish. By the time the correct meal arrived, everyone else had already finished eating. Since it was a workday lunch, I just packed it to go. I had really looked forward to trying Ninfa’s for the first time, but this experience fell short. If anyone knows a better day or time to visit when service is more consistent, I'd love to hear it—I'm open to giving it another shot.

Absolutely amazing. I want to go back tonight 😂 Everything was incredible. Fajitas were the best I have ever had. I will dream of this skirt steak for the rest of my life and will come back to Houston just to go here for dinner.

Fajitas were very good as was my mezcal margarita. I asked for a spicy salsa and was given some - I was ok with paying but it was too much for a tiny container.

Horrible experience for my first time celebrating my birthday. My waiter was so rude and slow at refills. I didn’t even eat my food, I took it to go. They didn’t even tell me happy birthday and that was in the reservation
