I'm not an easy sell when it comes to purchasing prepared prepackaged specialty foods but when I discovered the Mad Mexican some of that thinking changed. I had unknowingly tasted their guacamole, salsa Verde & chips at Frida's and loved it. http://www.yelp.ca/user_details_review_search?userid=EhO5C7t3yfGFLvsTyK5PPw&q=frida
Jose Hadad is the owner/chief cook & bottle washer at Mad Mexican. He cut his culinary teeth under the likes of Mark McEwan and Michael Stadtlander as well as being a George Brown culinary grad. His products which include items such as Roasted Tomatilla Avocado Salsa, along with his benchmark chunky Guacamole are stellar in quality and ingredients.
There is also a line of frozen burritos (beef, chicken & vegetarian) that are chock full of ingredients that make a great quick supper. I've had the beef burritos, baked them in the oven smothered with salsa Verde, cheese and then dolloped a blob of sour cream when served on the plate.
All of Mad Mexican's products are preservative free and have a fairly short shelf life so get gobbling shortly after purchasing. Of course that isn't an issue because when you taste how fresh and pure these products are your food monster will go on a rampage.
You can buy Mad Mexican products and meet Jose face to face downstairs at the Instant Caterer in the St. Lawrence Market. He's usually there on Saturday's pitching his fresh wares and he loves to talk about his products so you know exactly what you are getting.
Hell if the Mad Mexican is good enough to supply Frida's....then it's most definitely good enough for my kitchen. ¡Corra al mexicano Loco y compre, compra, compra el mejor guacamol usted jamás entrará una tienda!
