They are owned by the same family and Im pretty sure have the same Fajita recipe. Just pick one and go there lol. Personally I prefer drinking at El Tiempo and eating at Ninfas more. Theres something about having fajitas at Ninfas on Navigation that feels nostalgic, part of Houston history. Mama Ninfa is credited with the first person to popularize serving fajitas at her restaurants.
*founded by the same family. I don't think the Laurenzos even own/operate all El Tiempo locations. I could research that, but I'm sure there have been different ownership groups involved with the Ninfa's brand over the years. Navigation is owned by that Legacy group now.
Never have, but I'm not a cheese on fajita dude anyway. Meat, onion, guac, pico and if at Sitos or ET, butter.Sea Speed said:
Star this if you have never had fajitas with goat cheese. Wtf.
Cheese and sour cream are for gringos.
And the Tine board is slippin' because I haven't heard a single rip on the dude who said they had to send a strawberry margarita back.

Superica is pretty good too if y'all want to try a new one.
Gotta go with the 50/50 margarita at ET.
Ok I shouldve clarified that they were founded by the same family lol. My point still stands.Harry Lime said:

The Kingwood location is El Tiempo in name only and run, not very well, by a licensee who was a former employee of the location on Navigation.Harry Lime said:

This thread has so much subtle Tine goodness baked into it.
What do you expect with the Lake Conroe runoff water they use for their cooking?Marauder Blue 6 said:The Kingwood location is El Tiempo in name only and run, not very well, by a licensee who was a former employee of the location on Navigation.Harry Lime said:

I completely missed that. He probably sent it back after somebody poured a drink on his new shirt from Banana Republic and it got into his strawberry margarita.

He sure chose a poor username. Valtrex is supposed to cure herpes, not make it worse. He's like the herp that won't go away. and only strengthens instead
By the way, I work with an 80 year old Mexican guy. He always b-tches to me about the things gringos have ruined. One of those is fajitas. He always says they were cheap before white people started eating them.

Nah, just an old man so tight he couldn't pass a BB with a quart of Pennzoil. Probably has a sh-t ton of money stashed in his mattress.TheFunnierPhideaux said:BohunkAg said:

Queso fresco is acceptable as wellStat Monitor Repairman said:

What happened to queso fresco?
When this happen?
Everything used to be cheap. White people ruined it doesn't carry the weight it used to.

I've heard that from my mom for years. Used to just buy skirt steak because it was cheap, then national restaurant chains started introducing fajitas and demand drove up the prices. She also claims she'd never heard of fajitas until the late 70's when a messcan family acquaintance suggested some place while they were visiting Corpus. I cannot verify either of those claims.
I'm assuming it was always just carne asada and then Ninfas or whoever realized they had leftovers that they could throw in a tortilla instead of throwing away.

I got curious to do a quick newspaper search. This is the first mention I found of the word "fajitas" in the Chronicle:
After that, "fajitas" started being mentioned in grocery ads along "skirt steak.'' Some restaurant on Bissonet called La Paloma is the first one I see in Houston advertising "authentic Mexican" items like fajitas in '77.
Statewide, there are tons of hits in Texas papers in the mid-80's about the new fajita craze.

The best food will be received out of the taco truck. EOT.
I remember other houses under construction around ours. Every morning and afternoon the taco truck would come and I would stand in line with the workers. I got to enjoy some amazing food that summer/fall.

No comments on the ET that was so good they burned it to the ground?
Living OTL I ain't going in for mexi. But I do love the Lupes at HWY6. But wife cannot stand it, tears her up. So now that we don't go there I love Lupes even more. But just the HWY6 location.
