| - While out shopping and running errands, my husband and I decided to stop here for a late lunch today...I have only been to Mad Mex on a few occasions years ago and my husband has never been. We had a coupon for his birthday...up to $30 for one entree. And, while I know that this can be used at one of The Big Burrito Companies many other more expensive locations, due to time restraints and my husband's work schedule, we decided to try Mad Mex, since it's closest to home.
I asked the waitress if the $30 coupon would go toward the least expensive entree and she said no, she'd put it toward the more expensive one, which I thought was cool. I got the steak and chicken fajitas, which came with rice, sour cream and guacamole, and veggies. Since it would be considered part of the "free meal", I added the 6 jumbo shrimp. My husband got the Chicken Mole Enchiladas, which came with rice, black beans, and sour cream.
Both of us thought our meals were good, not over the top delicious, but not bad at all. I tried a bite my husband's chicken enchilada. It was okay, I just wasn't wild about the sauce. My chicken, flank steak, shrimp, and veggies were cooked just fine.
The service was good and our food came out rather quickly. The only two reasons I can't give this place 5 stars is first of all - the bathroom wasn't the cleanest. Sort of gross, actually. And, two, my meal, which would have technically been $21.50 ($15.50 for fajitas and $6 for the shrimp skewer) if not for the free coupon, was, well...lacking. Everything tasted good, but there was definitely a lot more sauteed onions and peppers than there was chicken and steak. If we would not have had the coupon and I would have received the amount of meat that I did, I would have been upset. (On the contrary, my husband's enchilada, which was $4 less, was a huge portion.) However, since our meals, with two drinks and tax, came to less than $20, we were pleased with what we got.
