| - Stopped in Mad Mex this past weekend. I have gone several times to many of the different Mad Mex's in the area and it has always been a solid choice albeit a bit expensive for the Cali-Mexican food they provide. This past visit I ordered the Chopper Salad. Quite delicious. It came on a bed of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, roasted asparagus, chick peas and green peas, sliced avocado, and grilled chicken for my protein. Some of the pieces of chicken were a little too grilled, almost burnt, but it wasn't overpowering and the other ingredients did a fine job dancing around my bowl. Very filling.
In the past I have ordered their tacos and have always been extremely pleased. They offer free chips and salsa but this past time we were not offered them, making me think they changed that. However after ordering and having a drinks, the bartender then asks if we would like a bowl. Be warned their original salsa packs a punch! I love spicy food and this salsa had me tasting nothing but heat. I would imagine if you weren't so crazy about over-the-top heat, you would hate it.
Everything was pretty good about this experience except my last drink. I ordered a Manhattan, Makers Mark, on the rocks. I love a good Manhattan and this one was ok. Tasted a little watery to me. I always eat my cherry after I finish my drink, and this was no exception, except when I bit down and swallowed I had an overwhelmingly sour and rotten taste in my mouth. I think the cherry had gone south, and man did it make for an unpleasant end. I felt a little nauseous after that. The whole way home and a few hours after. I hope that never happens again, Yuk.
