The Original Ninfa's on Navigation is a popular Mexican restaurant that serves delicious Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican cuisine. Originally, Ninfa Rodreguez Laurenzo (Mama Ninfa), who was famous for her fajitas, established the restaurant as a tortilla factory. Eventually, the factor turned into a restaurant that went on to become a solid fixture of the Houston eating scene and has been a favorite ever since.

Executive Chef Alex Padilla serves traditional Mexican food to diners for brunch, lunch, and dinner, and the menu includes temptations such as mouth-watering huevos rancheros, tacos covered in toppings, and melt-in-your-mouth fajitas. The Original Ninfa's also caters special events and delivers meals on request. Prior to Astros games (or Rockets Games), the restaurant offers a shuttle to and from Minute Maid Park (or Toyota Center) as well as free parking.
