When you step through our front door and the sights, scents, and sounds of Pappasito’s — the original Tex-Mex cantina — hit your senses, you know you’re in for an experience like no other.

The flavor, freshness, and presentation of the food at Pappasito’s are beyond anything you’ll find anywhere. Only the highest quality produce, meat, and fish make it to your table. Our tableside guacamole is made with the finest avocadoes, onions, peppers, and tomatoes that only make it in if they pass the “Coke can red” test. Our legendary fajitas are marinated in our special recipe before reaching smoky, sizzling perfection on our mesquite-fired grills manned by our extensively trained grill masters.

Of course, Tex-Mex isn’t Tex-Mex without drinks as cool as our grill is hot. Are you a purist? Have our expert bartender pour you a shot from our extensive tequila selection — from everyday blancos to hard-to-find top-shelf añejos. Or have them blend that shot into one of our signature handcrafted margaritas. Explore the true meaning of tingling taste buds with our signature sangria. And of course, our selection of cervesas, wines, and standard cocktails never disappoints.

If that’s not enough to send your mouth into a watering frenzy, turn your taste buds to our seafood selection. At Pappasito’s the only thing we might be more famous for than our fajitas and drinks is the out-of-this-world selection of fish, shrimp, calamari, and ceviche all prepared in true Tex-Mex style, sizzling from the grill or chilled to perfection, surrounded by colorful and delicious veggies and sides. Top it all off with made-daily deserts that might just make your head spin and you may have just found Tex-Mex heaven.

It all happens in the most beautiful, vibrant, traditional, and fun dining rooms north of the border, filled with happy Guests and a staff that can’t stop smiling, they love their jobs so much. Bring your friends, family, and an empty stomach to Pappasito’s, and let us show why no one in the business can come close to delivering the experience we can!

We’re a family-owned and operated restaurant company, which means our core values have been passed down from generation to generation. We’re constantly focused on innovation, attention to detail, and quality in everything we do. Over the years, our steadfast values and top-notch team have kept prospective employees seeking us out and satisfied Guests coming back.

To us you’re family, and we’re out to prove it every time you visit.

Mama Ninfa started something
Money can’t buy – tradition

Welcome to where it all began: This is The Original Ninfa’s.

When Mama Ninfa Laurenzo first began grilling skirt steak and then placing the sizzling meat in a handmade flour tortilla, all from inside her family’s struggling tortilla factory in Houston’s East End, she had no idea she had jumpstarted a culinary revolution. It was 1973, her husband John had just passed away, and Mama Ninfa was cooking to take care of her children – and provide her beloved community with mouthwatering comfort food along the way.

The dish she created was tacos al carbon, which the whole world would eventually come to know as fajitas, the bedrock of Tex-Mex cuisine.

We lost Mama Ninfa in 2001, but her legacy of love and fierce skill continues.

A James Beard Award semifinalist in 2019, The Original Ninfa’s masterfully combines a commitment to comfort and tradition with a sense of culinary adventure, all helmed today by Executive Chef Alex Padilla.

Casual and fun, yet historic and elevated, The Original Ninfa’s offers the best Mexican food since Texas was in Mexico at two Houston locations: Ninfa’s on Navigation and Ninfa’s Uptown.
