I see this blog has started becoming rather food-obsessed. I don't blame it, since there's nothing more satisfying than a happy tummy. One reason I would hate to leave Houston is the large selection of restaurants available at my fingertips. Our culinary talent is growing by the day, and I can never keep up with the latest new openings.

Therefore, it's always nice to go to a Houston favorite. Ninfa's is a popular family-owned establishment that's been around for years (since 1973 to be exact). I've been to 3 locations, but hands down, the original Ninfa's takes the cake.

My friend tried out a super fresh soup with shredded chicken, avocado, and pico de gallo.

I, on the other hand, went a more health-risque route with the fried shrimp wrapped in bacon tacos. Best shrimp tacos I've had, so it was well worth it.

  1. Oh God, shrimp tacos are so amazing. They look even more amazing with all that purple stuff around it (doesn't my culinary knowledge impress you?). I love that purple color on you, it's so pretty!

  20. oh my lord, though I've only just come across your blog, I for once certainly wouldn't say no to lots of food related posts if they're as good as this.

    seriously, I have the huge urge to go the fridge and rustle up something just as healthy and delicious looking. shame about the lack of ingredients..
