About The Original Ninfa's on Navigation
In 1973, Mama Ninfa began grilling skirt steak and wrapping it in handmade flour tortillas at her family's Houston tortilla factory. The dish became tacos al carbon, later known around the world as fajitas. The Original Ninfa's on Navigation is a Mexican restaurant rooted in that Tex-Mex history, carrying on Mama Ninfa's tradition of comfort food and culinary adventure. Its menu includes tacos al carbon and other Mexican food, served at the Navigation location in Houston. The restaurant traces its beginnings to Mama Ninfa's cooking for her family and community in the city's East End. It is one of two Houston locations of The Original Ninfa's, alongside Ninfa's Uptown.
