About El Tiempo Cantina — Navigation

The flagship location of Houston’s premier Tex-Mex dynasty, El Tiempo Cantina on Navigation Boulevard carries forward the legendary recipes of Ninfa Laurenzo — the Godmother of Tex-Mex. What began as Ninfa’s original 10-table restaurant in 1973 has evolved into one of Houston’s most successful restaurant families. Known for sizzling fajitas, hand-rolled flour tortillas, and generous margaritas, El Tiempo has become the gold standard for upscale Tex-Mex dining in Houston with over a dozen locations across the metro area.
