It started as a side business to earn some extra cash, but she never imagined it would become a Tex-Mex culinary empire.'Mama Ninfa', as she became known, sold 250 of her handmade tacos al carbon the first day she opened Ninfa's on Navigation Street.

    If anyone has any Tex Mex memorabilia, menus, etc. for Ninfa's, I admin a Facebook group called Tex Mex Vintage and Retro Menus and Memorabilia, and I would love to have some photos of anything in your collection for my Facebook page. I've been trying to collect and document Tex Mex from the late 1800's to the present through menus, et. al.
