    What do y'all think are the best eateries downtown? Preferably Tex-Mex?

    I know Cyclone Anaya's and El Patio, but I'm looking for something better.

    Lil' help?

    Also, has Doozo's closed down?

    The original Doneraki on Fulton is pretty good.

    For Tex Mex downtown, you cannot beat Ninfas on Navigation (2nd Ward, east of Minute Maid Park).

    This is Fatty. He already left. I'm not sure where he went. BTW, we're doing a practice of our Cat's Meow karaoke tonight at Tailgate's in midtown. You should swing by.

    Is that Ninfa's better than the others around town? I ate the one on 1960 and was not impressed

    Yeah it is. I don't like any Ninfas except the one on Navigation.

    The Ninfas on Navigation is the only one still owned by the Laurenzo family.

    The others are franchised out.

    That is why the only Ninfas I ever eat at (and ever will eat at) is the one on Navigation.
