Review of The Original Ninfa's on Navigation by LarryBrown
October 05, 2002
I've been to Ninfa's various times over 20 years, I've never liked it much. Tex-Mex is my fave food tho. Around 2000 we went to Ninfa's in the Galleria and it was great. Later we went there and it was awful. I heard all the fuss about Navigation, so we tried that in 2001 and it was no good. Why bother? We have scads of excellent Tex-Mex that never miss.
2009 addition: We just enjoyed an event that was catered by Ninfa's. My wife (very particular about food) said that the beef fajita's were the best she ever had. Tender, delicious, with no fat, cartilege, or tendon. When Ninfa's is good, it's great and that's why it's famous. Unfortunately they've never been able to even it out and make it good every time, that's always been they're reputation.
* Pros:Lots of hype, houston institution, bird logo
* Cons:lousy food, inconsistent at best, remote location
