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.

The food is very good. The service is outstanding. The chips…read moreare not good. There's so much seasoning on them that you don't get to appreciate the salsa because the chips are overpowering.. A restaurant with this type of quality needs to have chips that are made in house without anything other than salt.

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.

Genuinely one of the friendliest, happiest servers I've had in ages. She kept our glasses full, checked in at just the right times, and somehow made the whole place feel even more welcoming. To top it all off, the head chef actually came out and served our food himself, which was such a cool touch and made the whole experience feel even more personal. You don't see that very often, and it really says something about the people there. The food was brilliant as always, but honestly Hosanna was the highlight. Between her amazing service and the chef coming out to serve us, it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time.
