| - I couldn't help but think while eating at Mad Mex, how am I not going to give this place 1 star. Its the margaritas and the guacamole. I have always been a fan of their frozen margaritas (got started on them at the one in Oakland). I do have to say that their menu is also very funny, but I am really in it for the food. I've eaten at mad mex a couple times, and I've always been underwhelmed. I got the red velvet burrito (sans spicy spinach to save my tender tastebuds), and I had eaten half of the thing (which is about the size of a football partially deflated) and got 2 pieces of zucchini and 3 bites of very tough chicken.
Another one of the diners in my group got an enchilada, and you could not even see the cheese there was that little of it. The rest of the diners enjoyed their dinner, and no one complained of anything being over-spicy. We shared chips and dips, with the guac being my fav.
The service was good. They managed to seat us fairly quickly, even though we were a relatively large party for their pretty small space. The noise level was tolerable, and the food came out hot and at the same time.
The bottom line for me: If you want good food, skip this place. Try El Campesino down the road, heck, try Qdoba or Chipotle even. If you want a good Margarita, then you've found your place
