We came for Sunday brunch and had a great time!
The restaurant is nicely decorated and the staff is very friendly. They are attentive and have great menu suggestions.
I had a latte which was pretty good and the Desayuno Mexicano with bacon which was delicious! The potatoes were very crispy and I actually enjoyed them!
The complimentary chips and salsa are also pretty good.
Needless to say, I will be back!

Just a short 13-minute walk from our hotel, this restaurant turned out to be the perfect Monday night dinner spot. We grabbed seats at the bar and were immediately greeted, offered water, and served chips with two flavorful salsas. I ordered a mojito, which was perfectly crafted and refreshing.
For our appetizer, we tried the jalapeño rellenitos—spicy, flavorful, and the perfect way to start the meal. For the main course, we had the costillas de res, which tasted like they came straight off a barbecue grill—tender, smoky, and well-seasoned. I also had a classic crispy beef taco, and the ground beef was delicious.
To finish, we shared sopapillas and flan—both a sweet ending to a wonderful dinner. Our bartenders, Diego, and Edgardo, management Carlos Martinez and his team, were attentive, friendly, and made sure our glasses stayed full the entire night.
The prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service, and honestly, worth every penny. Even though I’m only visiting Houston, this spot is definitely a must—whether you’re here for happy hour with friends, catching a game at the bar, or enjoying a family dinner.

Nifa’s catered our corporate lunch today with less than 8 hours notice. The food was amazing and the set up was great. It was also very affordable. Will definitely order again

My server was great!
For a 38 dollar Fajitas, I wasn’t impressed. It was cooked correctly but clearly separately when cooked. No seeping of the juices together. While hot and good cuts of meat, I was hoping for flavor and wow! Twas not.
(I asked for no guac no sc and no pico so they do not appear in pic)

The food was pretty mediocre. The queso tasted like velveeta or some sort of processed cheese. The charro beans were bland. The crab tostada only tasted of lime and avocado…the crab was there but it’s flavor was non-existent. On a positive note, the rice was decent and so was the shrimp and fish taco. In regard to service, it needs much improvement. We were seated and given chips and salsa. We waited for a server to take our drink order. Within a couple minutes, another couple sat at the table next to us. They were greeted by a server and provided drinks, while we still waited. Overall, the highly anticipated experience at Ninfas was subpar at best. There are many better options in the Houston area. We will certainly not be returning.

Had such a fun time here. Our server Gabriela was super bubbly and made our whole dinner even better. She even told us some of the history of Ninfa’s and the story behind it. The Tranquility Marg with THC had great flavor, and I’d totally get it again. The food was delicious too. I’m definitely coming back.

If you are visiting Houston and want to try real TexMex, this is the place…. Fajitas are out of this world and Nacho was amazingly delicious….

We had such a great lunch at The Original Ninfa’s in Post Oak! The food, drinks, and overall vibe made for an amazing experience. We started with the queso flameado, and it was a total hit—gooey, flavorful, and gone in minutes. I ordered the seafood enchiladas, and they were to die for—loaded with flavor and cooked perfectly.
They also offer a lunch menu with premium options, which is perfect if you’re looking for something high-quality and satisfying during the day. The drinks were strong and flavorful—I had the mojito and it was honestly one of the best I’ve had in Houston. So refreshing!
Parking is free, but it can be a little confusing at first. Plan a few extra minutes to park in the garage and walk over—it’s not far, just not super obvious from the street.
The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, which we loved, and it’s also very kid-friendly—a big plus since we had our niece with us. The staff was attentive, kind, and super helpful, making the whole experience even better.
Definitely one of our new go-to spots in Houston. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great Mexican food, strong drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere!

I recently visited Ninfa’s because a family member who works there recommended we stop by for margaritas. We were excited to check it out!
By pure coincidence, we entered through a side door instead of the main entrance. Our server happened to step out through that same door, greeted us warmly, and seated us at one of her empty tables. Shortly after, the host Shayla brought menus to the table and told us in a rude tone not to enter through that door again. It felt unnecessary, especially since we had been told it was okay.
What made it more uncomfortable was that I noticed other guests entering through the same door, and she didn’t approach them the way she approached us. A simple “Please use the front door next time” or even just “Enjoy your meal!” would have been much more appreciated.
Aside from that interaction, the vibes were amazing and the margaritas were great! We came to have fun, and thankfully we still ended up having a good time. I just hope staff communication can be handled more politely in the future.

We finally tried this place for lunch this past Sunday and it was amazing! The food was fresh and on point! Service was excellent as well! We told them we were celebrating a Birthday and they even brought out a complimentary dessert and sang Happy Birthday! Highly recommend this place!
