I've had Steak Fajitas for lunch twice in the past week and I am hooked. As other reviewers have said, the restaurant is clean, service is good, prices are good, and the flavors are good-unlike the bland flavors of many of its competitors. I may not be as expert as a reviewer from California, but I have spent many months working in Tucson, AZ enjoying their Sonoran-style Mexican food. I'm excited to try more of Luis' menu items like the Chile Relleno.

The staff was incredibly kind, not even treating it as an issue, and made me my own guacamole without lemon juice, along with re-making a taco once we thought to ask if it had any lemon or lime juice. I felt horrible for bothering them, but they were so kind and accommodating. Also the food was excellent. I got three different tacos and each of them were bangers, even with a few of the ingredients removed. The ambience of this place is also on point, friendly and warm and open. Cannot recommend this place enough. Please go give them your money; You won't regret it.

And I've had wine on their patio with some chips and maybe a taco a time or two. The food is edible and common tasting in my opinion. It's Alabama Tex-Mex and not very fresh tasting. They have an upstairs and there is lots of space for larger groups if you need a spot for a dozen or so guests. The service has always been really solid here and again, the basic wine is drinkable. Years ago, I think in 2013, this restaurant moved from South Parkway in Huntsville to this location at Providence. I've been to both locations and again it's very basic Alabama Tex-Mex food in my experience. If you try Charrito's I hope you enjoy it and Yelp all the details of your experience!

Lola's has excellent service, great parking and the Jones Valley site is a new building with open indoor seating that overlfows into the outodoor patio- Eat in, Take it to go, whatever, all of it is good. BUT WAIT-there's more!- their early morning Breakfast tacos (yep, 0700!) are the underground secret, you heard it here first!

Another one where I struggle to rate. I'd give a 3.5 but that's not an option…read more So this is a fast casual, Tex-Mex/Americanized Mexican food place. They have a drive through as well as counter service indoors. I didn't go inside, but it looked bright and nice and new from the outside. From what I've read, this is meant to be a competitor/similar concept as Little Rosie's. Little Rosie's is to (big) Rosie's as Lola's Cocina is to Phil Sandoval's. Pared down menu, more fast casual concept, more casual service (drive thru or counter), breakfast options, light alcohol, etc. I will be the first to admit this is not my preferred way to eat Mexican food; I am a notorious non-fan of both Little Rosie's and Taco Mama. I just tend to find it on the bland, uninteresting side. Therefore, I'll probably never have a 5 star experience at a place like these restaurants because they're simply not for me. This factors into my rating, as well as the fact that I only tried one thing and therefore don't feel like I have a super good idea of an "average" offering here. For what it's worth, however, I did like the food I had here more than I did at nearby Taco Mama and Little Rosie's. I'm getting ahead of myself though. I arrived fairly late on a Saturday evening and pulled through the empty drive through. It took a minute or two for me to be acknowledged, but no biggie, it was slow. The employees weren't impolite but I did sort of got the vibe they wished I hadn't come by, lol. Just rather curt and miffed vibes. It wasn't THAT late - definitely more than an hour til close - so idk if that was really warranted. I wasn't super hungry and just wanted something quick and easy so I ordered the appetizer nachos with ground beef, hold the guacamole (I know, I know, guacamole is the best food ever...or something). What I paid for it was VERY reasonable for the size of what I wound up getting, though I think some of the other menu offerings do seem a little pricey ($13-$15+ for two tacos with chips and one side, no drinks). I only had to wait a few minutes at the window for my food to come out. One thing I really didn't like is that they used one of those little handheld credit card readers for payment, which in itself is fine...but it prompted for a tip. I always feel super guilty if I don't tip when prompted so I guess I'm the target audience...but to be honest, I don't think I've ever been prompted for a tip at a food service drive through (outside of a coffee shop, but that seems a little different since the person taking your order is also often making it, whereas I don't think that's the case here). Idk, I'm not above like a tip jar on the window sill or something but it was just really jarring. I also didn't love passing the reader back and forth out of the window. Anyway, my food came out in a timely enough manner and, as I mentioned earlier, in quite a generous portion. Though it's an appetizer, these nachos were more than enough to make a meal out of; heck, you could split them for two meals if you had average and not-huge appetites. I ate maybe 35% of mine. On the whole, they were good nachos. The queso is more like rotel-ish (yellow rather than white), but it was flavorful. The jalapeños had a nice kick though they were not crisp like I ideally prefer them. The toppings were layered nicely and evenly throughout the chips, which themselves were solid enough. The sour cream was in one corner of the carryout box, but it was easy to get a scoop when desired. The ground beef wasn't crazy flavorful but it was unobjectionable and cooked well. Again, I'm a little suspicious of other offerings based on other reviews and my own personal preferences, but the nachos seem a safe choice. Overall, I'd probably return here for more nachos if I just so happened to be craving Americanized Mexican/Tex Mex food. That's an almost impossible scenario for me lol, but I have many friends and family members who love this cuisine, so perhaps I'll try to sway them to come here when next the craving hits. I'll update if and when I try other things.

A rusted, faded sign marks the restaurant on Governors Drive. I find it by its bright teal, yellow and purple roofed building. It's a typical hot and humid Alabama day, but for some reason everyone '"eating in" is outside. There are several people out here but only one has gotten their food. Cars are pulling in and out, most people are doing carry-out tonight, much different than the lunch crowd - tables are at a premium then. They have upgraded a little inside - the garbage bags acting as ceiling tiles have been replaced with real tiles and the buckets to catch the drips are gone. I was bummin' - it's been awhile since I've been and margaritas are off the menu. Hopefully, someday soon, they will once again be on the "good" list and be able to serve those cold cups of awesomeness. Now for the food.YUM! My absolute fave is the rellano. Perfection in my mind. Their refried beans rock and the tamales aren't bad either. The enchiladas are not my fave. My husband is partial to the fish tacos - way too healthy - nobody goes to Bandito Burrito for health food. Bandito's prices are pretty reasonable considering the amount of food that you get. I usually don't wait too long for my food, today is another story. I'm always looking for that hole-in-the-wall, most time, those are the true gems. Bandito Burrito is definitely one of those gems.

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!

My salad arrived and was quite beautifully decorated. I failed to take a picture of it when it arrived too!
