Thought we'd give it a try seeing as it was 10 minutes off I-35. Found the small place and it was exactly what we were looking for! The chips and salsa was super tasty, the half and half tea was on point, and you can't go wrong with a Mexican coke! Ordered the cheese enchiladas plate and the wife got a quesadilla. We were pleasantly satisfied and they hit the spot. Tbh though, the beans and rice won my heart being so flavorful and delicious. The service was superb and I appreciated their thoughtfulness of checking on us to make sure we were doing ok. All in all, we highly recommend you visit them if you're in the area, we got a table quick around 7 pm and it was a quaint epic time! Try it soon and you won't regret!

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.

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.

Don Quixote chili rellenos , waitstaff " I needed to pay an extra $3+ to have anything but cheese". It was embarrassing in front of our guests. and it was wrong, their menu still states ground beef and chicken are still an option with the cheese. Very expensive small plate of guacamole. Spicy salsa also very small portion and neither worth price charged. We end the night by the waitress announcing we need to pay a 3% +fee if we use a visa. I stated " that's new" she snapped I need to read the policy on the receipt. After decades, we will not return.

When I think of special at restaurants it's a hit or miss. They make a big batch and sometimes it's old and doesn't taste the best but I was optimistic because my sister said this place was authentic Mexican food. So I got my plate to-go and I got home and opened it and the aroma of the onions, tomatoes, jalapeños and carnitas slapped me in my face and I was ready to dig in. The portion was a pretty good size! The carnitas were packed with flavor and were tender but also had a few of those sorta kinda crunchy pieces rice and beans were amazing and both of the salads I got were so good as well. I honestly do not have anything bad to say. From the service I got to the food I ate it was great! HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will definitely come back again.

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.
