"For decades, the Original Ninfa’s in the Second Ward has served Tex-Mex favorites, from Houston locals to visiting celebrities like Martha Stewart and Jimmy Fallon. Known as the birthplace of fajitas in the U.S., the lively restaurant impresses with its handmade tortillas, crispy tacos, savory enchiladas, and tacos al carbon, which are cooked over coals in a wood-fired oven. Don’t skimp on the cocktails. The Ninfarita, made with 100 percent Agave Tequila Blanco, is one of the most popular margaritas in town." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley
