Chef Alex Padilla's extensive culinary training and travels in Mexico and across Europe where he picked up useful techniques and unique flavor combinations contribute to the original Ninfa's on Navigation's undisputed success. Serving up authentic Mexican fare, Ninfa's began in 1973 when Mama Ninfa launched her famous fajitas, still a culinary staple of this long-established restaurant. People come for the tasty original dishes and stay for the fresh, handmade tortillas, the vibrant salsas with a kick and the refreshing margaritas.
