We got their California salad with beef fajita. Absolutely amazing. The cilantro lime vinaigrette was so good. Living in Houston, the fajita capital of the world, I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed the food. We will be going back while we are in the Pittsburgh area. Highly recommend mad mex. read more

More like BAD Mex! We dined here yesterday on our way to the airport. Our waitress was average and forgettable but she did keep our glasses full when needed. She didn't really check in with us after our meals were served otherwise she would have learned that I HATED my food. It's rare that I encounter food I don't like but the chicken mole burrito I had was terrible. They melted the cotija cheese on top which is usually a fresh crumbled cheese. The smell was so off-putting that I couldn't even eat my meal. Maybe it was bad or something!? The waitress could've asked why I didn't eat but she didn't seem to care or maybe she just wasn't paying attention. I took a bite of the hubs carnita tacos. They weren't too bad which is why I gave this place an extra star. The restaurant wasn't really clean. It smelled like it was wiped down with a dirty rag or something. Right outside the restroom area was a dustpan full of dirt and grimy litter from the floors. Just looking at it made me nauseous. Made me wonder what kind of condition the kitchen was in but I'd rather not think about it. Won't be back. Spent $50 on apps and food that I didn't touch. Yeah- Bad Mex! read more

Best. People. On. The. Planet. Ever. True. Story. I don't know where to begin. My love affair with Mad Mex Robinson is a long & complicated relationship that is difficult to explain in such limited wording. But tonight represents it nicely. Mr.Toddler & I dined w the grandparents & Uncle. From the excellent personalized greeting from Dan, who was busy with tending bar, & to the manager stopping to check on the table despite the rush- the individual people make this location stand out as special. During the hubbub Mr Toddler had a meltdown because he recognized the kids dessert bowl and one was accidentally brought to the table and almost set down. It was meant for elsewhere. Mad Mex is so nice that when he recognized it, they sent him his own complimentary kids brownie sundae for their mistake but without the ice cream that he doesn't eat the other one had. And trust me. He enjoyed every single bite of the brownie, fudge, & whipped cream. He gave it five "yums" But this what really showed that they care about customers. We forgot Mr. Toddlers best friend behind on the floor. His stuffed dog. When I realized this at bedtime- the hight of business on a Friday night, not only had he been set aside with care but he was brought out to the car so Mr.Toddler wouldn't have to get out of his car seat! That's a team who really gets & cares about their regulars. So ya, you can choose any Mad Mex in the area. The menus are the same. The foods a personal presence of you like Cali-MEX. Its certainly not Authentic Mexican food. Don't try to fool yourself into thinking it is. But it's certainly extremely tasty American Mex. Like, REALLy Really good. Drink the ranch dressing good. In fact, Mr. Toddler pretty much just uses the chips as a vessel to scoop the dressing into his mouth. We tend to order the same items often. The kids quesadilla, adult chicken fajita, chicken quesadilla, or enchilada. I love it all. And when it comes to choosing a location, I think Robinson is hands down hitting way above the highest mark! read more

There is nothing Mexican here. The only usefulness for this place would be if I was 30 years younger, in college, inebriated, and looking for something like a flavorless burrito drowning in cheese to absorb my last drink. read more

Place has always been average. Occasionally would pop in for a drink. It's a chain so you get what you get. Well recently we gave them a chance for a Togo during Covid 19 lockdowns. Had steak tacos and crab quesadilla. Decent. Not great by any means. Main reason I'm writing this though is so nobody orders a cheese quesadilla. The other item we ordered. With a side of guacamole the dish cost about 10 bucks. Take a look a the pictures. You get 3 triangles of nothing. No garnish. Nothing. Manager took it off my bill but saw no issue with the product. He's like this is what you get. Kids meals at diners do a cheese quesadilla better. I mean it's embarrassing that this manager thought this was acceptable. I never return here again. Ever. And I will advise others of the experience. Hit El Campesino instead. read more

This place is very good for drinks. They're margarita are the bomb!! They have a special apple cider margarita for fall-it is so freaking good. I ordered a "big azz" and was expecting more than $11!!!!!!!! Good deal. I only had their boneless wings-which are super good. But it also took sooooo long. Like exceptionally long-which is disappointing and why I'm only giving it 4 stars. I never really got a chance to try anything else here but i will be back to try some! It's also very very dark. And the lights also got darker as we say there. Kind of strange.....but nothing too dramatic. read more

Our experience was so good because our waitress was amazing. We had a large group of 25 and she made sure we were all taken care of. They were featuring a beer from flying dog and had a special for $5 22oz of 8% beer. It was bomb to say the least. The food although was mediocre. read more

Kay and I were here last weekend for 'nother taste 'o Mex. The complimentary chips 'n salsa were so plentiful, we didn't need a starter. The chips were deadly perfect; the salsa deadly spicy, chunky and loudly colorful, and vibrantly flavorful. My Skewered Jumbo Shrimp Fajitas were a tremendous union of garlic, olive oil, and seafood, the fat shrimp bursting in my mouth upon each tear of the teeth. I'll also add that the rice was light, fluffly, and much better overall than last time. What's causin' all this? Mad Mex. read more

This is our usual hangout. Love it! The service is always prompt, and the food is consistently awesome. Occasionally, the bar area gets crowded, but that's a sign of a great establishment, right? read more

We were heading to IKEA to a couch. It was raining and we were hungry so we decided to stop in for a warm bite. The decor is a quirky mix of Mexican, with skulls, weirdly designed animals and cacti. I ordered a cup of tortilla soup and a chicken quesadilla. My spouse ordered a cup of black bean soup and a chicken burrito. My soup was warm and filling. It had chunks of grilled chicken and some shredded cheese on top. It was the perfect texture with just a little kick. My quesadilla was crispy on the outside and filled to the brim with chunks of grilled chicken, onions, green peppers and cheese. The peppers had been roasted which added flavor. The quesadilla comes with salsa and sour cream but I ordered guacamole too. Yum! My husband's black bean soup was a little plain even though it came with a dollop of sour cream. It could have used a bit of spicyness. His burrito had chunks of grilled chicken, rice, and black beans. Unfortunately it was light on the chicken and heavy on the rice and beans. The burrito also comes with salsa.and sour cream but he too, added guacamole. It was a nice warm meal on a rainy day. read more

I'm a huge Big Burrito fan, especially the Mad Mex branches. I've been to the one in Greentree, Oakland, East Liberty, McKnight and now this one! In my experience they have all been consistent in terms of the quality of food and service. I love me some wing-o-rito (southwestern sauce please) with waffle fries. I recently discovered you can get a tofu burrito with the same options of wing sauces - score! The location of this place is interesting - it seems a bit removed but maybe it seems that way because I'm not from the Robinson area. In any case it wasn't difficult to get to and parking was plentiful on the evenings I've been there. read more

What an amazing disappointment. After waiting 20 minutes to be seated, we were greeted by a wet table and a thick layer of previous meals beneath it. The waiter was on a mission to get us in and out. When we declined waters, he scolded us that "you must order food before drinks." After ordering appetizers, he refused to take our drink orders until our meals were ordered as well. When we asked for some reassurance that the meals would arrive after the appetizers, he cavalierly said, "the food comes when the food comes." By this time, we were over this nonsense, and informed him that we were leaving. Desperate to have the last word, the waiter shouted that "it's the law--not my fault" as we walked out. So, we called another local Mexican restaurant and were informed that "you can order whatever you want...we don't care." To follow up on the "legal scholar" waiter of Mad Mex, I consulted the governor's COVID-19 executive order as well as the Allegheny County's further orders. Amazingly, drinks can be ordered as "part of a meal." So, all in all, save your money and patience, and go elsewhere. read more

3 things i miss most about pittsburgh (in no particular order): 1. Family 2. primanti bros 3. MAD MEX!!! this place is so delicious it really doesn't even make sense... between the food and the margaritas, mad mex can do no wrong... they really cater to vegetarians, and are willing to make most things on the menu vegan if you ask (but there are plenty of options for the meat eaters as well)... usually when I go back to visit family, I hit up the Oakland mad mex once, and then the robinson location the next day (my mom lives way out in Robinson, so we go together)... I love that this location has the same happy hour specials as Oakland (see below), but without the crowds and the long wait times... AND this location is about 4x the size of Oakland... all-in-all, it's just great... 5 stars!! Specials: Weekdays from 5 - 7 - $7 big azz margaritas (they really are HUGE) - $3 for 12oz margaritas - $5 for 16oz margaritas - Half off all drafts and wings Everyone night from 10 - midnight - $7 big azz margaritas p.s. try the blue cornbread!! read more

For starters, their salsa is unique and great with the chips they obvi make here. Went with a cup of Tortilla Soup and happy I did. Menu is extensive and exciting. Soup definitely made fresh. Just got my Grilled Mahi Fish Tacos. I'm from the Jersey Shore area where fish tacos at Surf Taco was born... These are amazing!!! Fresh, not skimpy, abundant and great tasting guacamole has me eating AND typing cause I can't wait to spread the word. My only complaints are the food came at me too fast and one bartender was crazy although she kept up with managed frenzy. I am not a big fan of multi-unit, or more so franchises, but I hope Mad Mex comes to NJ! My lunch veggie burrito yesterday and today's dinner were made with consistency and equaled freshness and quality and served pleasantly. So they got it down so bring it on east please! read more

This update is in regards to Mad Mex at the Robinson Township location, specifically going with a larger group of people: I most frequently visit Mad Mex at this location and being that it is at the crux of roads between where I live and other family lives, I have gone here a few times with a bigger group of guests. After my most recent visit I would not suggest that is a good plan. The most recent visit with a group was on a mid-weekday night with no special game playing on the screens. However, the place was really packed. Our plans had been completely last minute, so we didn't get to call in a reservation. We were told the wait would be 20-25 minutes; we waited about 50 to an hour to get seated. Service does take longer for big groups but it was so slow about 2 hours passed from when we were seated to when we were able to pay the check and go. The evening included our server who spilled the whole tray of drinks on our table (hey, it happens) and who eventually became either so stressed or annoyed that she didn't tend to our table for long periods of time and when she did so she was not very polite. Another warning for going with larger groups is in regards to ordering dessert. We had a few kids with our group and so ordered the brownie a la mode and a couple of ice cream burritos. All of the ice cream was melted for all three dishes when it arrived. It was as unappealing as it sounds (think: soupy cream burrito) but we were all so eager to leave that we didn't bother to mention it. Melted ice cream at restaurants usually happens if the plates come straight from the hot wash or--as it appeared in our case being that the plates weren't hot--the server waited too long to pick up the dessert after ordering it through the P.O.S. I can most accurately describe the entire experience that evening as arduous. Though I enjoyed the guests that I went with--this time being my family--the atmosphere of stress and negativity was set by the service and pacing of the meal. I was quite relieved when we left and was wishing in hindsight that we had gone anywhere else. It will be awhile before I can go back again, but it definitely won't be with a group of more than four. read more

This is by far one of my favorites in the area and it keeps me coming back time and time again. I know it is not authentic Mexican by any means but they have a very interesting spin on Mexican food. My go to is the wing o rito with buffalo sauce. What's not to love when you are mixing buffalo sauce and a burrito together?! With that said there is plenty of other great items on the menu such as a carnitas quesadilla, carnitas burrito, fish tacos, tortilla soup. AND the famous gobblerito that makes an appearance around thanksgiving each year. Personally I wish they had it year round because it's that good. It sounds slightly gross on paper mixing your entire thanksgiving meal up in a burrito but I promise it is good. I will say if you are someone who doesn't like their foods touching then this probably isn't the burrito for you. The salsa is also one of my favorite restaurant salsas. I like that it's not a runny salsa. It is definitely worth paying for in my opinion. Now on to my favorite item...the margaritas. I'm not sure what they put in these margaritas but let me just say my friends and I don't call them suicide margaritas for no reason. $10 for a big azz margarita may sound like a lot but you will feel good after 1. They also change their specialty flavor each month. They have flavors such as cranberry apple cider, apple cider, watermelon, banana, strawberry banana, and passion fruit just to name a few. At this point I think I've tried them all and they are all amazing. The sangria blur is a personal favorite from the regular menu. I would also like to comment on the staff that works at this location. Each waiter/waitress that I've had over the years has always been pleasant and very nice. Some of the staff behind the bar have been there for years and you can just tell they love their job. They are always checking on you and asking if you need anything. Lucy and Heath are always being friendly with each of the customers and anytime I go there and don't see them I'm a little bummed. This location is by far my favorite. read more

My husband and I went here today for Cinco de Mayo, we had a great time! We sat at a 2 top table near the bar, Lauren was our server and she was awesome!!!! We thought service would be slow being that it was so busy, but she was so quick with everything from chips to drinks! read more

This is a better location that others. I always have Tofu Tacos and my mom enjoyed the chicken quesadilla. Large portions, so wasn't able to finish. The only issue with this location, is its very hard and confusing on how to get there. You see this tiny sign and then you have to turn left through other cars backed up at a light. read more

Ariba, Ariba! - I think I am going to need to work out more... I went there for lunch with a group. I remember in C-bus - their appetizers (wings) were really good. I ordered the Chicken Chimichanga - it was yummy. The meal was not loaded wtih shredded chicken but grilled chicken. I will definitely go there again. I don't know if there is a low calorie meal here but really don't care - it was that good :-) Food - Yummy! Service - Great! Price - Lunch - $12 - $15 I will definitely go there again and try some other dishes fellow yelpers recommend. read more

Once upon a time, I would have rated this place 5 stars. Their on tap selection is still great. But service and food have gone down hill. I ordered the fall bowl and it came without the main ingredients Of brussel sprouts and cauliflower. More disappointing that by the time the waitress came to check on us, I was getting full by what was in the bowl. My husband ordered the avodilla quesadilla. It was supposed to come with mango-tomatillo salsa. Came without it. No attention to detail by the kitchen staff. And not great service by the wait staff. Too bad. read more

If you're not getting the mahi mahi salad (yes, it's very expensive) you're life is not complete. I love their tacos and burritos, but this mahi mahi salad is beyond amazing. read more

A very unenthusiastic "meh" pretty accurately describes this place. It was VERY noisy, way OVERPRICED, and everything was either too hot (spicy), not hot enough (barely lukewarm Tortilla Soup that was also gross), or tasteless (green sauce and tomato salsa). Also... $9.50 for 7 wings??? I will not be returning, and would not recommend you eat here. There are far more authentic Mexican restaurants that you could eat a lot better food at for $45 (without tip). read more

Mad Mex - Robinson - La Chimi ! - Mexican Near Me - Robinson, Pennsylvania

Maaad mex! I loved living in West side of Allegheny county for about 2 years... it was absolutely awesome! One of my favorite things was all the restaurants crowded around the shopping center that was right beside my house... unfortunately being a 22-24 year old I was, I also wanted to hang out with young folk and kick back/chill and there wasn't too much of that going on the Robinson area, but mad mex was always an exception. Quality Mexican food - square burritos(get the mad mex) and spicy queso with great brews and wonderful ambience for the win every time. Top it off with great service with nice bartenders and servers and you have a local favorite (I know , it's a chain- BUT ITS AN AWESOME CHAIN). Loved coming here whether it was with friends or my parents mad mex was open late and was always a good time. Will return I'm sure... read more

I love all the Mad Mex locations, this one included. The food is great and consistent between locations. They are more than happy to substitute the meat in non-vegetarian items with tofu whenever I ask, even though it's not stated in the menu that they will do this. That means big bonus points for me!! There is no shortage of veggie-friendly menu items, but any time I have made a special request it has been honored without question. This location seems to have more craft beer on tap than some of the others (namely Oakland). That's great too! There's really nothing I DON'T love about Mad Mex, it's probably my favorite restaurant in the 'burgh. read more

Was in Pittsburgh for business and was trying to find something different to eat, something that we didn't have back home in Colorado. I read the reviews and totally got that this was more Tex-Mex, and I came in with out the expectation of comparing it to the Mexican food I get in Denver, or Pasadena where I lived prior. At first , being unfamiliar with the area, I couldn't find it. I almost ended up going to Ditka's ( bldg in this complex) , but as I was pulling around, I saw Mad Mex, in bldg 2 of this complex)- so i gladly made my way over. I didn't realize this place was in the first floor of an office building. Good to know :) . I like the decor and the atmosphere, enjoyed the service, and the queso and chips I ordered. I ordered enchiladas. I shouldn't have, because we make enchiladas at home all the time, and it may cloud my judgement. It came with Colorado 'red' sauce, so I thought I would be ok, and then half green sauce. The food came out quickly and I did like the green sauce, but didn't care for the Red sauce, it almost reminded me of spaghetti sauce. So, I ended up scraping it off and trying to smooth out my green sauce. This isn't going to deter me from coming back and trying something else, it was just a matter of me not being positively overwhelmed with the sauce on this particular item. I think I would probably like something else, and look forward to updating this review... from good to great :) read more

We were seated at a high-top on the patio. It was probably 10 minutes before a server informed us that our server would be right over. Wasnt her table so, who cares I guess. No drink menus and I went back inside the restaurant to get our silverware from behind the host stand. The queso/cheese dip had that off-color look as if it came from out of a can. I pictured them scraping it out of a can and mixing with their canned rotell tomatoes. And it didn't taste good. They never said it would be fresh though. I had the steak fajitas which were good enough and cooked how I wanted. The drink menu said Dos Equis Special. They should specify if that is that lager or amber. I'll still go to the location in Shadyside for drinks. read more

Definitely a go-to for me when I am in the mood for some huge portions of Tex-Mex and a bunch of alcohol. My absolute go to when I come is the Carnitas Burrito (Pork slow-roasted in garlic, ancho chili and Dos Equis. Roasted green chilis inside, blue cornbread, pico and sweet-n-sour slaw on the side). The pork is ALWAYS tender and juicy and that slaw just does something to this dish that I can not explain. The cornbread is always welcomed as it is usually warm and fresh. Plus, it's such a big portion that I can usually get about four meals out of it. For dessert, we usually get the chocolate brownie to share. It is definitely one of those things that you have to share. A huge brownie, four scoops of ice cream and a bunch of whipped cream. Pretty much heaven in a dish. I'm not sure what the deal is with the ice cream, but its definitely better than any vanilla ice cream that I have ever had. The margaritas are to die for. I can easily finish a few Big Azz margs without even thinking about it (though it really isn't a good idea!) The service is always exceptional. The staff is always so attentive, even on a very busy night. I definitely would recommend this location if you are in the area. read more

Disappointed. Was hoping for some really tasty Mexican food but it turned out to be bland. At least for me anyway. Also noisy. Very noisy. If you are into a big dish of food, this would be the place for you. I'll pass. read more

Again used Yelp as I was traveling for work to find a place for dinner and found Mad Mex - Robinson. Heath, the bartender was great! His suggestions for appetizer were spot on for cheese dip and bean dip. The homemade chips were awesome. I was going to order an enchilada, but he said the steak tacos were the best and so I ordered them instead. They were amazing! The atmosphere was great! Definitely not your ordinary place, but worth the trip if you are not from here. read more

We always consider Mad Mex to be a safe choice. Good beer choices usually and we know what to expect with the food. This was a Hit and a miss. Flank steak in burrito was cut into chunks. Not sure when that started happening. Very chewy and not the burrito we remember. You also apparently have to ask / remind about what is supposed to come with kids meal. No carrots and celery. Our son helped us remember about the dessert. So he didn't miss that. This isn't the first time that one of the locations didn't automatically bring or ask about what the kids meal included. My menu also had food remnants in it. Which is something I look for -- clean menus. read more

Interesting. My husband and I use this word frequently between us to describe something that we either can't quite grasp the concept of, or as a euphemism for "this is quite possibly the worst thing we've ever experienced". In this case, I think that the use of the word may come to mean both when it comes to Mad Mex. We had high hopes for this place after reading the Yelp reviews. Unfortunately, the experience started off on the wrong foot almost immediately - we walked in and were kept waiting for nearly ten minutes while the hostess did - well, I don't know what she was doing. My husband later said that she was checking for tables, but seeing that the place was half-empty when we walked in, that's kind of hard for me to believe. To the staff's credit, several people did stop and ask us if we were being helped. But, still. We were led to a table and were about to sit down when one of the staff was like, "No, don't sit down. It's not clean." And... yeah, no, it wasn't clean. Spilled drink everywhere. Not earth-shattering. But, still.... Finally we're settled in and the server comes up and takes our orders. She asks us if we want to keep the menus over dinner and I said, sure, we may want something else. Thing is, she asks us this several times over the course of the night. Did she forget she'd asked the question or something? I just found that really odd. I ordered a Thai Curry burrito, and my husband ordered a Mad Mex Quesadilla plate. Maybe these were just the wrong things to order, I don't know - but in my case, the Thai ingredients just did NOT fit into the scheme of things. Peanuts, pineapple and bean sprouts wrapped into a tortilla? Uh... somehow the taste of this should have been a LOT better, and it sounded a whole hell of a lot better than it actually was. The sour cream and diced tomatoes that came alongside was just a bizarre addition to what I already considered a bizarre dish. And the slaw? Ye Gods, that was just an abomination. I took one bite of that and left the rest behind, and if I leave any type of cole slaw behind, you KNOW it's bad. My husband's dish was lacking cheese. And I mean, it was a SERIOUS lack of cheese. More veggies than anything else, which is fine, but a good quesadilla has cheese in it, folks. He did like his food a LOT better than I did mine, though. Another service misstep - I wasn't asked what kind of filling I wanted in my dish (even though the menu states that there's a choice). The server came back and asked me almost timidly if chicken was okay - it leads me to believe that the food was already made with chicken in it and she was hoping (or praying) that I wouldn't choose something else. Luckily for her... I like chicken. We didn't need those menus after all, because we beat feet out of there. I knew I wasn't going to want anything else. I tipped way more than I should have, to be honest, but the quality of the food isn't the server's fault. I will say that the food choices are... well, interesting. There are a LOT of vegetarian and vegan options, which I guess for some is a plus - points for the fact that neither dish was overly greasy or even heavy on the stomach, which can be a problem with a lot of Mexican food. I went in knowing that this wasn't going to be authentic, and I never expected it - but it really shouldn't be THIS "health-conscious", and that's the feeling I got when I came in here. We don't live in the area, so it's highly doubtful that we'll be back, but if we did live here, we most likely wouldn't recommend this place. read more

While the ambiance of the restaurant is rather enjoyable I didn't favor my dining experience. I had received a coupon for a free burrito and decided to use it late on a week night. We arrived and it wasn't busy but we had a 5 minute wait for two. The chicken fajita burrito I selected was dry and mostly just rice. The chicken, beans and veggies were sparce and the Guacamole was extra. To top it off the holiday cocktail I ordered, the Nog-A-Rita, was tasty but at a cost higher than that of the free burrito I ordered @ $12.00!! It was served in a small martini glass. Service was good but I would recommend mostly for drinking beer and enjoying chips and salsa on the side. read more

I love most of the Mad Mex locations that I've tried. This one is close to lots of shopping. I loved their Horny Toad Margarita, which unfortunately is no longer on the menu. But if you get an old timer, they'll still make it for you. The closest thing to the Horny Toad is the Ultimate. If you like a wicked sour margarita, this is the one for you. I'm not a fan of the big azz margaritas that are popular there, they're just too sweet for me. The red sangria rocks!! There's always and awesome selection of drafts and bottled beers too. I like this location because it's really small and really dark. I know that's not a plus for lots of people, but I like it. I love the Insane San Francisco Wings with Blue Cheese. We always order them well done. Insane is the highest on their heat scale, the heat level isn't consistent, but it's usually pretty hot. The blue cheese is a perfect balance to the garlicy San Francisco sauce. My husband almost always gets the Chicken Chimichanga, its generously stuffed with tasty chicken, it's always nice and crispy. I love most of the quesadillas and fajitas... but I think my favorite entree is the Dance Marathon Enchiladas. I love the garlicy portabello mushrooms and spicy spinach. The tortilla soup is thick and creamy and so good. The casa salad is awesome with the Lime Cilantro dressing. A garlicy spicy creamy pesto-type dressing that is also great to add as a dipping sauce for quesadillas and taquitos. The salad is a simple combination of leaf lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onions, blue cheese crumbles, green pepitas... the crunchy pepitas with the salty, tangy blue cheese topped with lime cilantro dressing... YUM!!!! One of my favorite places to eat. read more

OK, MAYBE I am bias, but the grilled fish taco here are amazingly consistent. heavenly!! WHY do you make them so fabulous ???? What is your secret ?? They are disgustingly addicting, and I will go to my grave saying Mad Mex Grilled fish tacos are superior!!! I have tasted the same from Mexico, (west & east) Baja, Barbados, Belize and still...... Mad Mex gets it a good as good gets in the US!!! I run my own business and I take Mad Mex Mahi Take out as a tip !!!! read more

Mad Mex - Robinson - Grilled mahi mahi soft tacos. yummy!! - Mexican Near Me - Robinson, Pennsylvania

Food poisoning for everybody who had a "mad mex" steak burrito. I thought the decor was dreadfully ugly, tacky and overdone, but my friend (who tells me he has a cast iron stomach but was still internally disturbed by the horrible food here) claims to have liked it. I am giving this place 2 stars because they had a wide tequila selection (altho they don't seem able to mix a drink to save their lives), and because my friend liked their gaudy art. Service was ok, food was terrible (mostly rice with a tiny scattering of presumably rotten meat), art was questionable. Bottom line: AVOID, unless you are looking to do shots of top shelf tequila. read more

I have been to the Mad Mex in Shadyside many times, but I had not been to the Mad Mex in Robinson until last week, and I ended up going twice! I went for Happy Hour one day, and the it was a great crowd. They have a nice selection of beers on draft, and have an IPA week coming up (not sure what that means exactly, but I am excited for it nonetheless...). Good Happy Hours are hard to find these days, Happy Hour there is exactly that - good deals on beer, drinks, and appetizers. We had the trio of dips - the jalepeno pinapple is my new favorite! On Sunday I picked a friend up from the airport and we wanted to find somewhere we could eat and watch the Superbowl, and this was the perfect spot for that. It wasn't overly crowded like many of the sports bars, and once again our waitress was super friendly. I had a margarita and the shrimp taquitos - both were very good. I'm not sure I would use the word "authentic" but as long as it tastes good, I don't really care. read more

My husband and I love going to Mad Mex! We normally go to the one on McKnight Road, but we recently moved and have been frequenting the Robinson location. I almost yelped a not so good review last week when we were there, but I didn't thinking they were just having an off day. Tonight was even worse than the last time. Our waitress took an extremely long time to get to us, hardly ever checked in, never brought us napkins (our 5 year old is messy) no straws, the glass that my husband's margarita came in was so disgusting. I'm not OCD about stuff like that but you could clearly see something stuck to many different spots on the inside of the glass. On a positive note, the food was great as always. I love Mad Mex, but their service makes me not want to go back. :( read more

I live close to the Greentree and Lakeside location but, we frequent the Robinson one most mainly because of Heath. Heath is always so upbeat, friendly, informative, funny, and helpful.
