How Mama Ninfa Brought Fajitas to Houston — And the World | Eater Houston

"Originally a wholesale tortilla and pizza factory in the East End, the business supplied the family with early income and was run on long, early-morning hours despite thin margins. Its production facilities and tortillas became the launching point for the family’s pivot into full-service dining when a portion of the factory space was repurposed into a small restaurant in the early 1970s, effectively seeding the eatery that later popularized fajitas and the signature green salsa." - Brittany Britto Garley

First time here and it was pretty good. Very low key for lunch. Friendly staff, clean restaurant and restrooms, fast service. I was craving birria tacos but they also had $1 papusas so I got some to go for dinner. I really enjoyed the thick white sauce, salsa, and chips that came complementary. I went on a Thursday but maybe their specials change week to week. I’m usually not in this area so it was nice to find this lovely place.

I had the shrimp enchiladas and they were absolutely delicious! The cheese sauce blended perfectly with the shrimp, and the rice and beans on the side were full of flavor. I finished it off with a sopapilla for dessert, which was the perfect sweet touch. Great flavors all around and excellent service. Highly recommend Rio Grande Tex-Mex Grill!

We visited this place for dinner on a Monday night and they have dollar tacos on Monday. They had plenty of staff however it took a little longer than normal to be served drinks and take our order. As the order arrived it was now 9 apparently they close at 10. I didn't know this until I noticed everyone was focusing on cleaning and sweeping and mopping as if it was a priority over serving us. We needed napkins and drink refills but we were basically ignored. The food was probably not worth a dollar. Tacos were small and over cooked in my opinion. I could have gotten better at taco bell. I also ordered a gordita and it was full of oil and welted lettuce. Again they seemed not to care. I probably will not visit this place again. There are way to many Mexican restaurants to accept service and food like this. Good luck if you want to take a chance.

I’ve visited many times and their food is always great. The torta is my absolute favorite thing on their menu. Empanadas are delicious as well. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere and they also have an awesome taste in music. Highly recommend if you’re looking for tasty food.

We were very pleased with our experience here! The presentation of the food is beautiful and tastes delicious - I recommend dipping the quesadilla in the salsa it’s really good together.

I went on a slow Sunday; my favorite. I ordered the Cancun Pollo. The chicken was very flavorful and juicy. It's like eating a chicken fajita because it comes with 3 tortillas and even had some leftovers for the next day. My husband had (as always) Birria Tacos which came with 3 and he said they were really good too. Loves dipping them in the chile sauce and filled him up. I definitely want to come back to try more menu items.

Unfortunately guys I just went back and have to say how horrible the salsa is. Seriously guys, I thought I was having water flavored tomatoes. I grabbed the hot sauce on the table and dumped it in for flavor. What a difference 6mths makes. Do not go for the salsa at all. The margaritas are still absolutely delicious, but the salsa and chips are a train wreck. The burrito was still good, but my ankles were swollen as I left the place. That usually doesn't happen unless there is MSG. So if you are sensitive (like me) make sure to ask.

Great service and amazing food. There were plenty of choices, including an entire el salvadorian menu. The carnitas were amazing and they even make their corn tortillas in-house. Will definitely be going back.

We have become regulars here because the food is so good! This place is a total hole in the wall with your comfort mexican food plus authentic dishes. The drinks are great and the service is always 10/10. Definitely recommend!

What an amazing little place! Great $4.00 margaritas at happy hour. The salsa was superb with the fresh hot chips, I had shrimp enchiladas stuffed with butter grilled shrimp. My daughter had a burrito with 3 different meats, again overstuffed. Our sever was very helpful and friendly, helping me decide what to try. I know I'm going back soon.

Went in for a small bite- pleasantly surprised! Street tacos had a great corn tortilla, looks like they make in house. Very nice salsa that isn't the standard red tomato. Will be back for more, not your standard place!

Location offered a buy one get one coupon that is set to expire 2/29/24. We went to location on 2/28 and they refused to honor the coupon. Lost our business forever. Do not trust coupon offerings.

The restaurant was clean, the service was good, and the food was amazing. I got the chicken fajita burrito and my husband got the carne asada. Both were excellent.

I ordered a chicken chimichanga to go, and it came with rice and refried beans. They also included a bag of chips, salsa, and a white sauce I don't normally eat. The chimichanga and the chips were very good. The refried beans were okay. It tasted like they had chili powder in them. I didn't care for the salsa. There was too much of some liquid in it. My order was $14. I'd like to try their Mahi Mahi next time. They also have steaks for $28. The place itself looks really nice. I saw 5 booths and many tables. It has a nice ambiance. There are also 5 tables outside. The man who took my order and the lady who brought it to me were very nice.

Went for lunch. Friendly service and food was great. I had the lunch special with chicken flautas. It was delicious and looked beautiful. Salsa and white sauce had a good kick and the chips were exactly right...light and crispy. The place was super clean and they make their tortillas in house. I couldn't ask for more from a local Mexican place. Just great.

A great addition to the local Tex-Mex choices. My wife is from Texas and is a merciless judge of Tex-Mex. She thinks every place can be evaluated by it's guacamole and this place got 5-stars for its well seasoned, super fresh guacamole. I frequently get carnitas and this placed serves by far the best I've had outside of Texas. My wife felt the same way about her enchiladas verdes. The staff was fantastic. They were out of pickled jalapeños so our waitress had the chef grill some fresh ones. Much, much better than pickled. All in all, a place we need to make sure survives.
