OK, so this is a chain, but I love them. Sydney's been going through a burrito (translation: little…read moredonkey) boom of late, and this is the perfect place to satisfy that craving. As long as you think about this as a good place to eat, as opposed to it being authentic Mexican food and coming away disappointed, you should enjoy this. They tend to offer a number of competitions in order to keep the clientele interested and a few months ago, they even challenged people to eat a 1kg burrito (basically 2 normal ones). By some it was considered glutinous, by others (Americans mostly) it was considered normal, by me, it was considered 1kg of deliciousness. I'm not that big of an eater, but there was no way I wasn't finishing every last meaty, ricey, beany morsel of that pseudo-Mexican beast. And I got a Tshirt (along with mild stomach pain) to prove it! They also offer a range of tacos (soft and hard), quesadillas, nachos and for the health-conscious, naked burritos (basically a normal burrito without the wrap). My only annoyance with Mad Mex - and this goes for all the Mexican chains - is there insistance on charging $2 for a teaspoon of guacamole! Due to the success of the store, new ones seem to be popping up around the place, with the most recent addition opening next to Central station on Broadway. And for those wanting a recommendation, my personal preference is the carnitas (pork) burrito!

The food merged in my mouth in a tasteful frenzy. Honestly, did not take a sneaky pic though as the presentation was not there. I recommend not serving the food in front of guests, while it does give the illusion of authenticity, the watery beans and liquid cheese that I was served with says otherwise. I felt rather unpleasant as I saw that ladle dripping in 8-hour with old fat free sour cream (at least I thought it was. It was a white sticky substance- who knows what it could've been!) Anyways overall great experience. The iceberg lettuce was very good

In my way through the queue: - I was asked: Would you like extra chicken for $2? Glad they asked. - I was not offered corn (which is included), so I had to ask. - I was asked: would you like lettuce and avocado? Sneaky with the $2 upsell on the avocado there. - lastly, they say they don't have tap water available either I won't be back. I don't like the feeling when I can't trust the people on the other side, and there's a ton of better options for $11 in this food court!

They seemed to have picked a competitive spot for the fast food burrito business in Surry Hills -- sitting between Mad Mex and Zambrero, but I think they'll do well. I haven't been to their food truck yet, but I believe it's the same menu. $5 tacos and $10 burritos which seems like pretty fair pricing compared to other local options. I was liking the spicy flavours. The tacos had a nice kick to them. Small venue, but super cute. The counter is made to look like their food truck. I imagine it will soon be hard to get a seat here. Get in quick!

Terrified I would lose more filling if I didn't act fast, I crammed the thing awkwardly into my mouth and ripped off a chunky portion. People talk about burritos as good 3am drunk food but let me warn you that the massive punch of flavour was dangerously intoxicating. I reeled. The fillings were working in unison - the lime cutting the fatty beans and cheese, the tomato sweetening the properly spicy sauce, and the iceberg keeping it all fresh. In the modern world, and in mexican chains like GYG and Mad Mex, the litany of choices means that if life doesn't work out, or a burrito doesn't taste perfect, you have to question what role your decisions played. How much are you to blame for the disappointment? Simplicity is underrated, and having a simple, food truck menu strips away the agony of choice and its attendant anxiety, and leaves you with a tried and tested great recipe. While $10 is a little steep for the size of the burrito, there is enough 'real filling' (ie beans) in the bean burrito to obliterate those late night hunger pangs.

Good Mexican is always hard to find and this spot is well hidden on level 6 of Westfield building…read more This level reminded me of an airport terminal. We started with corn chips with a bean dip. The corn chips were clearly fresh and that made a big difference. Really yum and the dip was perfect to match. Next up was grilled corn with a creamy butter coriander sauce. This was nothing special. Was more looking for something a little bit spicer considering its a Mexican. The ancient grain salad was served. This salad contained quinoa, broccoli, pumpkin, chia and pomegranate seeds with a tequila sauce. This was a great choice on the menu and definitely would choose this one again. For the mains we selected Beef enchiladas and Cod. The beef enchiladas was pretty good but not exceptional and was a little light in the meat department. The cod was not what you would traditionally expect from a Mexican so figured it was a good choice to go with. It turned out to be a stellar one. The cod was beautiful and had a nice smoky sauce to go with it. Amazingly there was room for dessert and decided to opt for the Chilli Brownie. The brownie was made with dark chocolate and didn't have that overly heavy after feeling that you get from some desserts. Just didn't really notice the chilli in it though but still nice. The experience was really good in this place. The atmosphere was very relaxed and would certainly come back again.
