Oh wow! We stayed nearby after our connection flight was cancelled. After a quick search of nearby restaurants we decided to Uber here. The salsa is easily the best salsa weâve ever tasted. The carne asada and the tour of El Paso were FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Everything has such amazing flavor! My husband said âI donât like mole sauceâ. When his food came out he said âmmm... this mole sauce is great!â I said âI thought you didnât like mole sauceâ and he replied âwell I like THIS mole sauce!â

First and foremost, Ninfa's comes in between the "cheapy" Mexican food and the "Mexican Cuisine" crowd. I'm not saying you have to moderate your expectations in any way but know that for $10.99 a plate, you're not getting cuisine or hoity-toity food. What you are getting is delicious Mexican food that is served in generous portions and is a good value considering what you get for your money at other places. The service on my latest visit in Mid October 2018 was exemplary. Could not be happier. Plenty of televisions are around your tables and at the bar. But it is, somehow, a more "classy" place than that entails. There is a seating area where you can wait for your party (I'm one of those who'd rather wait for the whole party before going to my table). One little snipe is that the chip basket is too small. They refill it constantly but the basket itself is too small. That's it! Love the place; can't wait to return.

OMG! Never thought Tex-Mex breakfast could be so good. They stop serving breakfast at 10 am; but they should serve breakfast ALL DAY! We had the Huevos Rancheros over steak and corn tortilla with papitas and beans. DELICIOUS and the meat was so tender and tasty, yum! Great service TOO!

This fast food taco chain serves pretty tasty fast Mexican food (paper plate) at a very reasonable price with the option to purchase beer and margaritas. There is need for a stronger managerial staff ensuring salsa bar is kept neat and clean and that staff are consistently engaged in excellent customer service. With stronger management steering this place, this taco shop could become a fast food rock star.
