re: Ninfas is just not good at all anymore, is it?

Big Taco, you say you came from the original location on Navigation in Houston. That place was a traditional part of an annual trip friends and I would make to Houston. We had some truly great times and meals there. There was a gentleman named Gilbert that we became friends with over the years. I understand that he had some sort of liver disease that took his life. Did you know Gilbert?

Mama Ninfa also passed away a few years ago, Roland has a restaaurant called "El Tiempo " i think they have a two or three locations . I have lost contact with them. I was raised in the restaurant bussiness , Philiys is married to Tony Mendola who used to own the "blue Oyster Bars" in Houston , his brother Damion ownes the " Spagehti houses " or at least he used to . Tommy and Gino had restaurants in Austin . I do not know about Jack . I am 1 of the last of the Mohicans.

Give me a call Mr. Rhag , i got some ad $$$ i would like to spend somewhere !

Thanks ask for Nando or Troy .

I've been going to Ninfa's since shortly after it opened. As a rule the food has been excellent, and on the few occasions when it fell short, letting the manager know was in order---if we don't give this information to the folks who run the place it's hard for them to fix. I wouldn't be going to the same eatery for 15 years if they weren't taking care of business.
When we do go to another Mexican place, we end up comparing it to Nifa's, and they have all come up short. I would say that Nifa's style of food works for us, but obviously doesn't for everyone. I found what works for me and stuck with it.
As big taco said in one of the replies, talk with Hernando if all is not right---he'll take care of it.
