14 Restaurants To Make You Fall In Love With Houston Again

"Mama Ninfa, the original owner of the Second Ward institution, is credited with the invention of the fajita. And while we’re still waiting on the fact-check to come back, it’s true that Houston wouldn’t be the same without this spot. It’s customary to see staff carrying enormous trays full of fajitas every few minutes like they’re the only thing on the menu. And after a while, the constant sizzle whizzing by your head becomes a part of the ambiance. Come for plates of tacos al carbon with handmade flour tortillas and stay until you, too, have a story to tell about your experience with a pitcher of the housemade “Ninfarita.”" - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
