| - All of my friends have raved on and on about Mad Mex for years and how amazing everything is there. So I finally got the chance to give it a try about a week or so ago.
All of my girlfriends were going on and on about how amazing the burritos were and how there wasnt a bad thing to eat there. I have eaten at my fair share of Mexican restaurants and upon walking into the place I have to say I expected better with all the hype.
As an appetizer we got tortilla chips with guac, salsa and queso. The guac was really tasty, but the salsa was just tomatoes with some seasoning and had no "sauce" consistency whatsoever. It was more like a bruschetta topping than a salsa. The queso was also not great and had taco meat in it that left a weird kind of aftertaste. Really not impressed.
I ordered the fish tacos. When my plate arrived it looked good enough. The fish was fairly moist and the slaw/ aioli that topped it was also full of flavor and really tasty (but what mayo based sauce isnt...kind of hard not to mess this up). I'm a firm believer that you can easily judge a Mexican restaurant on their rice and beans, and I was thoroughly disappointed in both. The black beans were virtually flavorless and some of them were even crunchy and undercooked...pretty disgusting. The rice was also flavorless and I felt like I was just eating a boxed mix that didn't have any taste at all and lacked salt. Overall my dinner was extremely disappointing.
I think I was most upset with the service. Mad Mex is one of those places where the waitress will offer you choices of things to up-charge your bill, and where every little condiment will cost you .50. If you want sour cream with your burrito, salsa, pico etc. that will be extra. The waitress asked every person at our table if they wanted sour cream or salsa "with that". Every time someone said yes, she up-charged their bill. As for me, I ordered the FISH TACOS which are 12.50. Upon telling her what I wanted to order she asked me if I wanted them "grilled or fried". I told her grilled. Once I got my bill, I noticed that she had charged for me the Mahi Mahi tacos which were about 15.00 WHICH I DID NOT ORDER. I really disliked the way she charged me for something I did not order based on PREPARATION and furthermore, gave me a choice of grilled or fried knowing that she would up-charge me to another menu item.
Overall I was pretty damn annoyed that I ended up spending 20.00 on something that I did not order that was only half decent. Probably wont be going back there and if I do, I might give the burritos a try as they looked pretty good, but also pretty dry. Not sure if I would bother ever paying a waitress there, I think take out would be better. Do yourself a favor and visit another place to get your Mexican fix, I know I will.
