Food looks tasty but Ninfa's isn't the originator of the fajita. That's just over-rated hype that they fail to discourage. Grilling skirt steak and eating it in tortillas goes back hundred's of years in South Central Texas and Northern Mexico. BTW, Houston's supposed exciting and vibrant multiculturalism only goes back twenty years at most. The real reason immigrants have flocked there is because it is very easy and cheap to live in Houston. That is not to say that Mexican hasn't been a staple since the sixties in Houston but it was only one of five choices including BBQ, Cajun, Italian and American.

I used to eat at the Ninfa's on Westheimer all the time with my Mom and Mama Ninfa would sometimes come in back in the 1990s. Ninfa's is a staple of Houston, I'm glad they kept the original location. The other day I was in the Galleria and they had a Ninfa's Express and I had the beef burrito and it was just as good as I remember, so the meat was so flavorful. I had no idea they invented the fajita until I saw this video. I need to go visit the OG location and take a stroll down Tasty Blvd.

Lucas who? Sheldon is by far the best host of all the Eater series. He doesn't just interview the chefs /cooks or ask them mundane questions about how something is prepared. He goes past that and into the soul of the people preparing the food because that's where it all starts. Not the ingredients. All of his videos are heart warming stories of family. Because he connects with people so well, they open up and you can feel the emotions and pride. Braddah Sheldon no ka oi

I love how Sheldon encourages the chefs to speak for themselves by asking the right questions that allows them to talk about their cooking and history well. It allows the viewers to get a exceedingly informative experience of the food, not to mention that he makes a connection with the chef which enables us to establish a confident understanding of the video. Great Hosting and Keep up the good work! !

The most authentic tex-mex cooking in America? what a title, Tex-mex is a bastardized version of Mexican cuisine, also America is all the continent, but looks like in this restaurant they make everything from scratch not with canned ingredients, I have some terrible experiences, maybe thats why I hate Tex-mex.

Being from Hawaii, I liked Sheldon right off the bat because the people of Hawaii can relate to him. He's gotten much better as a host without losing that sincerity and humility which makes him genuine. Braddah Sheldon you do us in the 808 proud.

I just ate and the meats and the veggies and the prawns in this video nearly gave me a foodgasm. Goddamn, that looks good. Humble, basic, authentic cooking made with the utmost skill and dedication. Can't beat that.

Texas was only part of Mexico for eight years. And before that the Spanish basically just had their flag on it. El Paso and Deep South Texas was inhabited so don't act like Texas has a long Mexican history it was Indian country

as a Houstonian, very happy about this series. Very well done, from the Crawfish ep. to this; can't wait to see what else y'all uncover. Ninfa's is a classic in Houston history, always happy to get its recognition.
