Who has the best tacos in Houston? At the 2nd annual Tacos Over Texas – a fundraiser for the Ninfa Laurenzo Scholarship Fund held Sunday – the Original Ninfa's on Navigation came out on top.
It was a fitting win at the taco competition where 16 Houston restaurants were tasked with creating tacos that honored the legacy of the legendary Mama Ninfa Laurenzo. Ninfa's chef Alex Padilla and his crew created a lamb barbacoa taco with a bracing lamb broth shooter.
Killen's TMX, Ronnie Killen's Mexican restaurant in Pearland, took second place with smoked carnitas tacos. And Laurenzo's Restaurant, owned by the direct descendants of Mama Ninfa, came in third with prime rib al pastor tacos on a guajillo chile-rubbed tortilla. Last year Laurenzo's took first place for its prime rib carnitas cooked with Dr Pepper.

Man I miss Ninfa's, specially their Green/Red sauce.
