I recall the Huntsville location having an Estancia label Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay. It was a nice wine! They had it on a drink menu. Here, I didn't see a drink menu and I asked the very kind server for Estancia Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay. She returned with a rose wine - yuck! I refused it and she took it away, asking me to write down what I wanted on her food order ticket, which I did. She returned with a white wine, and after one sip it tasted oxidized - another yuck! I walked it over to the bar and explained what I was trying to get and she showed me the bottle and it was a low end Robert Mondavi bottle of white wine (their "RM" label). When I realized that, I knew the wine was not oxidized, just low quality. I apologized and said I would take the glass back I had just brought her, but I think she had dumped it out. At any rate, I get it, Mexican restaurants are not widely known for their vast wine selections, and most people drink beer or margaritas. Robert Mondavi is not a bad label, but the bottle this Phil's carries is their low, low, end. Despite the wine snafu, the hubs and I enjoyed a birthday dinner for me with him enjoying their burrito (I think it was pork) and me trying to replicate my Sorority Sister's shrimp and chicken fajitas with the chicken fajita dinner. The chicken was tender and well seasoned meaning the fajitas were a win for me. The tortillas were fantastic, the service was good despite language barriers and wine quality issues, the restroom was spotless and we enjoyed a dinner out! Thanks, Phil's!

I'm a Huntsville native and people here will swear by Phil's. Sunday after church hour long waits…read morefor a margarita and chicken, cheese, and rice after a long church sermon are somewhat of a ritualistic, ironic part of a typical southern weekend. However, I can swear by the fact that this proves my theory on Mexican food, in North Alabama at least, being worshipped only if it tastes like cardboard and has no seasoning. This is not my first time at Phil's, either location, and every time it is always unremarkable. But this time, it was inexcusably bad. My fiancée's margarita tasted like water with lime in it. There was no triple sec or tequila taste, though she did say she felt a little buzz from it. So clearly was there but, to what cost? $9 for a tasteless marg is a little high. The queso had legitimately no flavor. Not even cheese. Just like table cream. It even had peppers in it but you could not taste them. This was the time where we questioned if we had caught COVID in the 10 minutes we had been in there and lost our sense of taste. I quickly learned this wasn't the case when I tasted the salsa which had the flavor of body odor and canned tomatoes. The chips, however, nice and crispy. So a plus there. Get the chips. Don't dip them. We split the chicken fajitas and the 3 minutes it took to come out after we ordered it, should be taken as a sign that it's not going to be great. The grill marks felt laughable as the chicken had no texture or flavor of something that was grilled. It, along with the peppers and onions, had a slimy texture and, again, absolutely no flavor. It seemed to me that this was a classic case of either Sysco's Finest or Sous Vide cooking. The rice on the side also had no flavor but the beans actually had a great taste, but a few felt under cooked and slightly crunchy. The stand out was the home made tortillas which we thick and fluffy. This made me question why, if you're going to the effort of making tortillas and chips in house, why cut corners on your MAIN part of the meal? As for the service, it wasn't bad but the waiter had to be asked multiple times for refills and was very inattentive to our table while favoring who seemed to be regulars behind us. Phil's has the essence of "what a Mexican restaurant tastes like in Norway if opened by a British person who had Mexican food once on a work trip to Idaho." Decor that's trying too hard, food that has no seasoning, and service that is lacking.

However you can buy a "3 flight" wine tasting or a "6 flight" wine tasting from a specific list of white wines or red wines. We ordered the "6 flight" consisting of 3 whites and 3 reds to taste. We liked the ability to choose the wines from the list. We also ordered a caprese crostini tray to nibble on while we tasted the wines. Most of the wines were "OK" to "Good" in taste with a couple of wines that a bit too young for tasting. But it was my mistake for selecting them. All in, it was a fun way to spend the Erving.

For my main course, I had the 8 oz filet and swapped my potato for collard greens. My friend ordered the redfish which was also quite tasty. My steak was cooked perfectly per my request. Although I was quite stuffed, once that dessert tray walked by I knew I was done for. My friend ordered the creme brûlée and I had some sort of cake with berries and ice cream. Really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant as well.
