    First time trying Tex-Mex the food was flavorful and a bit spicy. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. the restaurant was very whimsical but a bit crowded.

    This chip dip sauce is theeee best in texas!!

    The food is marginal. The green sauce is good. The service is just ok and the outside patio is great on a nice day! EXCEPT that the entire patio minus our table, was left gross and dirty with old food all over the place! While multiple servers went by over & over again as we ate our dinner & no one cleaned up or picked up anything! I don't think I'll be back!

    Prom night

    Waco place to eat. Great atmosphere, great service. Very busy the night we went. Looked like a prom night with girls in heals even though rainy. Our stop over hotel Tru, was close by and this was recommended. Great choice for us. Love the Jalapeno sauce or I call gravy. We rarely eat at the one in Norman ok, not sure why. This will stay on our fav list for Waco.

    Tex-Mex Burrito Bowl

    This was an exceptional visit. I came here with some of my friends, we all were wanting some good Mexican food. I can't say we got good Mexican food, but we did have some of the greatest service we have ever received from our server John. John made the three star review into a four star. I would highly recommended asking to sit in his section if you want to be treated well. The whole vibe of the restaurant is nice but sooo much better with John as your server.

    Our Tex-Mex go to in Waco! Great food with a busy college/family atmosphere. We loved the portion sizes and relaxed ambiance. We had the chimichanga and the enchiladas as both were equally delicious. The soup tho... amazing! The tortilla soup was to die and my wife had two bowls??? When does that happen?? Overall great food at reasonable prices. On my list to go back the next time we're in town.

    Tres Leches
    Cody L.

    I'm usually don't say this, but make sure you save room for dessert! The Tres Leches is spectacularly delicious... and it's huge so you can share. Food portions are also huge so you will need to pace yourself... Chips are light and crispy... Salsa is more like fresh pico so you might want to get the queso too. We ordered The Elvis Presley Memorial Combo... so much food! (It comes with a chicken, ground beef & cheese enchilada each with a unique sauce... crispy hard shell ground beef taco and a tostada). We also ordered the Steak Burrito covered in Hatch Green Chilies and lastly kids chicken tenders. Yummy, yummy!!! No regrets! Service was friendly and the atmosphere is casual and fun... be sure to check out the Elvis mini memorial in the foyer honoring The King who lived nearby in Kileen, TX back when he was in basic training.

    We chose this restaurant based on its high reviews, but unfortunately left very disappointed…read more After being told to seat ourselves, we waited so long for menus and drinks that we nearly left. The waitress was sweet, but remained slow throughout the entire meal. Our waitress never offered drink refills, and we waited extended periods for a to-go box and our check before finally going to the cashier ourselves. The biggest issue was a strong sewage-like odor coming from the restroom area. We were seated nearby, and every time the bathroom doors opened, the smell drifted into the dining room. Even the handwashing station in the dining area had the same unpleasant odor. The food looked great when it arrived, and the chips and salsa seemed fresh. However, I was disappointed to learn they no longer serve guacamole with their fajitas. The chicken fajitas arrived sizzling hot, but became very dry as they cooled. They were spicy, but lacked much flavor. The rice and beans were good. Overall, between the slow service, unpleasant smell, and mediocre food, I would not return or recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in Waco that I'd try before coming back here.

    I love Ninfa's!…read more Service here is always friendly and upbeat. There's a decent size parking lot in front. I like the plants and Mexican decor. They have a taco salad that is absolutely delicious! Their margaritas are also on point. The Waco restaurant is a little more homey and not quite as luxe feeling as the Houston locations, but it can be solidly relied upon for good, filling Tex-Mex, so I love to stop by when I'm in town.

    Ninfa's was aggressively fine, and honestly, sometimes that's enough…read more I got the smothered burrito with the "spicy" ground beef, and someone else in our group got the chicken quesadilla. Nothing was bad by any means. Portions were pretty large, the chips were fresh, and the free salsa was actually surprisingly spicy in a good way, which I appreciated. It had a little more attitude than I expected. That said, everything else was very generic Mexican restaurant energy. Not bad generic, just very "yep, this is Mexican food near me" generic. It hits when you're with a picky eater and need something safe that everyone can survive, but nothing really felt elevated or memorable. The food came out in about 15 minutes, service was fine, and the place was pretty quiet when we got there before getting busier as we were leaving. My only real side-eye was the payment screen starting the tip options at 25%, which is becoming one of my least favorite modern restaurant jump scares. Overall, it was perfectly fine. Three stars in the most non-hostile way possible. I'm not mad I went, but I'm also probably not planning my next Waco trip around a return visit.

The service was superb and I appreciated their thoughtfulness of checking on us to make sure we were doing ok.

Their homemade chips are light and crispy, and their salsa is super flavorful while not overly spicy. It hits that happy medium between my husband and me. Breakfast is also great. You go in and pretty much grab a table unless there's a line with people waiting. Service is always friendly and efficient. Prices are fair. Typical mom and pop type interior with a mixture of booth seating and tables with metal chairs. It's always clean. Branch out and try something new. Highly recommend.
