The Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Houston | Eater Houston

"It’s impossible to have a discussion about Tex-Mex and Mexican fare in general without bringing up the Original Ninfa’s on Navigation. Credited with introducing the country to fajitas as tacos al carbon, it’s vital to try the iconic dish at its founding location at least once. With that said, make room for enchiladas, available a la carte, and the Ninfarita, the institution’s signature margarita made with Espolon Blanco Tequila, fresh-squeezed lime juice, agave nectar, and Cointreau. You can also find Mama Ninfa’s famous fajitas at the restaurant’s Uptown outpost." - Brianna Griff
