Phil Sandoval's Mexican E - Huntsville

My wife and I shared a fried jalapeno slices appetizer, I would say 4 out of 5 stars, they weren't as crunchy as I was hoping for but not overly soggy. and they most definitely had a good kick to your taste buds. Then we shared the Old Mexico platter, definitely enough for 2 people and I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars because it was good, but it could have been much better. a few of the items on the plate, I don't remember which, had so much spicy hot kick to it that we couldn't enjoy the rest of the food. tone down the heat just a little bit and ramp up the flavor that I'm sure was hiding behind the fire...

Don't recommend coming here for Mexican food. Saw the menu online without prices and thought it was worth a shot. Overpriced and not even average at that. The mambo taxi margarita that was advertised as $1 off at happy hour was charged at regular price. Flour tortillas aren't complimentary as they are in most Texas Mexican restaurants and neither is the butter. My 10 ten year old son loves butter with his tortillas but was told they only had Mexican butter (melted butter with spices). I asked if she would bring us a little thing to try. It tasted and smelled like fish. Then saw on the receipt that we were charged a dollar for it when my plate already included it. I ordered the single beef and shrimp fajitas with borracho beans and cilantro rice which is $24.99. The cilantro rice was bland and the fajita meat was tender but sub par in taste and quality. The shrimp was well prepared. My husband ordered the chicken enchiladas with chile con carne with refried beans and Mexican rice and said they were average. The waitress was rather abrasive at first and made us feel as we were bothering her by asking her questions about the menu. The waitress' attitude did seem to improve later.

My daughter chose to have her 21st birthday at Phil's yesterday. Phil, as always was accommodating to her large table of 15! As always the service was excellent and the food was amazing!

Good food and fast service. The also give you thebest ice cream!

I ordered a quesadilla and really like that they use the Mexican queso here instead of the Velveeta style processed cheese that many of the Mexican restaurants use around here. Much nicer when the cheese doesn't leave a slimy film in your mouth or stick the roof of your mouth! I really enjoyed the black bean soup, too. Tamarind margarita was good! It could be a little less sweet, but it had a great flavor.
