“We are so grateful to our wonderful employees... Always warm, kind and hospitable, she is a true treasure and we are very proud and honored to have her as a part of our family,” the post read.

Lopez was recently nominated by a customer to be recognized on @hou_mankind, an Instagram page recognizing deserving Houstonians, which shared the following review:

“Kady Lopez has been making Ninfa’s on Navigation a better place for over 45 years. She immigrated to Houston from Honduras in 1970, from busgirl to cook to ultimately server. As a single mom, Kady has raised her children herself and because of her hard work, put them all through college debt-free. She is extremely talented at remembering names, faces, and favorite orders, and will always serve you a meal with a smile on her face. Stop by and meet Kady next time you are in the area! She’s an amazing lady!”
