Original Ninfa's
The Original Ninfa's in Houston, Texas, is a cherished Tex-Mex institution that began in 1973 when Mama Ninfa Laurenzo started grilling skirt steak and serving it in handmade tortillas from her family's struggling tortilla factory. This culinary endeavor not only provided for her family but also introduced the world to tacos al carbon, famously known as fajitas, marking a significant moment in Tex-Mex cuisine.
With two locations, Ninfa's on Navigation and Ninfa's Uptown, the restaurant continues to honor Mama Ninfa's legacy through a commitment to comfort and tradition, while also embracing culinary innovation. Recognized as a James Beard Award semifinalist in 2019, Original Ninfa's remains a testament to its rich history and community roots, celebrated for its flavorful dishes and vibrant atmosphere.
