ABOUT US

​​

 

Ninfa Laurenzo was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the Mexican restaurant industry in Texas.  Her tacos al carbon became famous and she became known as Houston's beloved, "Mama Ninfa."  Thanks to her values and commitment to giving back to society, she dedicated her life to helping and supporting the advancement of community, especially in Houston's East End

​

​

Honoring her legacy of good deeds, The Ninfa Laurenzo Scholarship Fund (TNLSF) was created in 2017 to raise funds for education.  Mama Ninfa believed that education was the basis for all development and change.
