Ninfa's on Navigation and Houston Tex-Mex

Ninfa's on Navigation was opened by Ninfa Laurenzo at 2704 Navigation Blvd in 1973 and became a landmark of Houston Tex-Mex cuisine. The restaurant is widely credited with popularizing fajitas in Houston and introducing them to a broader U.S. audience, though some food historians debate the exact origins of fajitas. Ninfa's success helped establish Houston's reputation forinnovative Mexican-American dining and spawned additional locations and imitators.
