| - I ate at another Mad Mex in Pittsburgh in July and was happy with my meal so I was happy when my colleagues recommended we go here for dinner. It was quite a ways outside of Pittsburgh proper so I was expecting spectacular service and food for our drive--I got half of that. The ambiance was definitely more of an upscale Mexican restaurant so I was happy with that. Not as nice as the one in downtown Pittsburgh, but it was still nice.
While we were waiting on 2 of our colleagues, 4 of us ordered drinks and it took 40 days and 40 nights to get them. Actually it was less than that but it felt like it took that long. She finally brought our drinks and appetizer and we dove in. The drinks and chips and salsa were good; however, the guacamole lacked flavor.
For my entrée I decided to order a veggie enchilada, with strict instructions to exclude the dairy. Also, bring another drink. We received our entrees before our next round of drinks. How does this happen? The water glass was looking pretty good at that point so I decided to kill my buzz by sipping on water until my next drink arrived.
Now the food. I bit into the "vegan" enchilada and bit into something delicious, stringy and YELLOW. "There is cheese in my vegan enchilada!" I exclaimed. One of my colleagues tried to calm me down by saying that maybe it was something else. I stated that it could not have tasted that good without something else in it so it had to be cheese. I admit in the day I loved melted cheese. Anyway, once I received my drink I held up my plate, with a disgruntled face, and explained (nicely) that they put cheese in my enchilada. She smiled and said, "Yes, it is vegan cheese." What? I've had vegan cheese before and only one other time had it taste this good. I quickly thanked her, took a big gulp of my drink and devoured the enchilada. I didn't even let the juice get away from me as it ran down my finger.
Now, you may be saying to yourself that I was inebriated which caused the heightened sense of taste, but if you recall I had a tremendous amount of time between my first and second drink to kill my buzz so I was sober.
Based on the feedback from the group, I would have loved to give this Mad Mex 5 stars based on the food alone; however, because the service was less than 5 stars, I opted for 4 stars. This will not stop me from going back to get another vegan cheese-filled veggie enchilada fo sho.
