So, I was here about a year ago with some friends on a weekday. We sat outside, has some food and drinks and everything was pleasant. Last week I came here on a Friday night to meet up with some friends and it was waaay different. The place was packed, and extremely loud. Some may enjoy this type of atmosphere but we had to yell at each other at our table to communicate. We ordered chips and salsa as an appetizer as we feared our food would take a while given the amount of people dining. They were pathetic. Basically just bagged chips, not the warm and fresh fried ones you get at authentic mexican restaurants. The salsa tasted like stewed tomatoes. I'm on a diet so I opted for a salad instead of my usual burrito. Stick to the main entrees, the salad wasn't that impressive. Everyone else in my party enjoyed their orders though. I think if i would have skipped the chips and just went with the standard Mad Mex burrito I would have been happier.
Probably the worst part of our meal was my fiance's Margarita. Just the standard $8 margarita...it tasted HORRIBLE. Granted, I don't like margaritas much but i know what they are supposed to taste like. This one tasted like low end tequila and syrup.
I doubt I'll be back to MadMex unless someone insists. There are much better choices for this type of fare in the area.
