LTAWACS Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think i've tried one of their other locations once... i was not impressed... but this one is closer to me so i will stop by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb320 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 This is the original (Ninfa) Laurenzo family. I think they still own the original Ninfa's on Navigation. Their other 3 El Tiempo's are on Richmond, Washington and Montrose. The food is good, but they tend to be a little pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I like them. Their menu is huge and food has always been good. I frequent the one on Montrose. At the one on Richmond your pretty much forced to valet park so I rarely go there. Food is not any pricier then say Papasitos or Lupe's. Their margaritas are outstanding. Also love the refried bean dip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little frau Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 According to the linked article, the family no longer owns the original Ninfa's on Navigation.Niel Morgan of Legacy Restaurants does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yeah, there's something pretty hilarious about selling someone your restaurant and then opening a competing one almost next door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 what's even more funny is El Tiempo being mistaken for "true Tex mex". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Wanted to provide an update. I tried them out when they opened. it was not that great. but gave them a month or two to get settled in and they really hit what I feel is a decent stride in the taste of their food. the brisket is very moist, flavorful and tender. the hot mess is a hot mess. I consider it 2 meals, I could kill it in one sitting, but I'd be lethargic for the next few days, otherwise it's actually pretty good.

Slick Vik Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I tried it last Monday. It was pretty good and they give a fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I found the brisket pretty weak, more like roast beef. Awesome sides, though. Edited February 24, 2014 by kylejack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastdwntwn Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Looks like there is a new bar or restaurant opening up next to Café TH. Got the info off a post on Nextdoor, so credit goes to someone else for finding it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 preface: there's a lot of new residents checking out this sub forum, they are looking for good places to eat. Let's use this to share locations, and recommendations. you can format your recommendations however you want, but to make it easy, try: restaurant name food type location favorite dish BYOB? Kanomwan Thai https://goo.gl/maps/dLxueyTtQd8Ug3oL7 Pad Ka Pow yes! BYOB! Huyhn Vietnamese https://g.page/HuynhRestaurant?share #70 yes! BOYB!

JBTX Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) I get weird looks when I say it, but Merida's is the best Mexican food on Navigation. Spanks Ninfa's and El Tiempo. Only thing is, Merida's is Mexican, not TexMex, so some of their TexMex is moo (sorry queso). Best dishes: pollo pibil and the salsa with serranos and chili pequines that they don't give to everyone unless they know you (just ask for the "other salsa" or "the hotter salsa"). Not BYOB, probably, but I don't know if they'll stop you. Edited May 31, 2020 by JBTX 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most importantly, they have the best margaritas in Houston, IMO. Specifically order the Fresh Lime Margaritas. They blow the house margs out of the water. They're cheaper and better than others in the area. Trust me, I know from experience 😄. I've been a fan of this gem and walk over for dinner often, but I've been picking up food and margaritas especially nowadays where you can take them to-go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaDolivin Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Also to add to the list: *I'm not aware of the BYOB policy on any of these places. I'm not even sure if I've ever brought my own booze into an establishment before. *Skipping adding the location because you're probably going to Google the place before you go anyway. Nancy's hustle New American/Bistro Everything on the menu. Especially Nancy Cakes. Villas Arcos Breakfast tacos Chorizo taco with beans and cheese Treats of Mexico Mexican desserts and snacks Chamoyadas. Or Unique ice cream flavors served in a concha bun. Rodeo Goat Burgers 'Boadacious' burger Edited June 9, 2020 by EaDolivin Removed Cajun Town. It closed down in May. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to eat at their Greens Road location semi-regularly, but after they moved to the East End I only got to go to the new location once.
