| - You know you've been living in Pittsburgh for awhile when you can debate the merits of various Mad Mex locations. Yes, the Oakland Mad Mex may be more convenient for the college set (and with 19 reviews, certainly more popular with Yelpers), but the North Hills location is by far my favorite. First of all, it's larger than the Oakland Mad Mex and even on a Friday night, it wasn't too crowded and my three friends and I were seated within 15 minutes.
Authentic Mexican is hard to come by in the pseudo Midwest, but for a chain, Mad Mex is surprisingly good. The main draw, the Big Azz Margarita, is famed for a reason -- they're positively sublime (I recommend the mango). Food-wise, you definitely get bang for you buck: the burritos are enormous, the quesadillas are overstuffed, the chips and salsa plentiful. I could do without the thumping Eurotrashy house music, but after one margarita, I'm too focused on my delightful buzz to care.
