There’s only one Ninfa’s to know and that’s The Original Ninfa’s on Navigation in Houston, known as the birthplace of the fajita! Mama Ninfa first stuffed chargrilled sliced beef into her handmade flour tortillas many moons ago. Over forty years later, her delicious creations live on through Executive Chef Alex Padilla, who has his own unique family tie to this beloved haven for Tex Mex.
Plus, the recipe to Ninfa’s FAMOUS Green Sauce, reimagined with Grilled Texas Quail by my friends at H-E-B Cooking Connection!

El Machito is the name of the restaurant, Vincent. It’s really good and SO visual with that massive grill. Thank you so much for the feedback and for watching our show! 🙂
