Houston’s Classic Restaurants

"The original Ninfa’s in the Second Ward is a cornerstone of Tex-Mex history. It's been open since 1973, and Mama Ninfa, the original owner and restaurant’s namesake, is credited as the inventor of the fajita. If it isn’t enormous trays of fajitas flying by your table, it’ll be plates of tacos al carbon overflowing with yellow rice and refried beans. Or maybe fajita burgers piled with peppers and onions ready to be devoured." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
