    I come for the Gobblerito and am never disappointed. It's like Thanksgiving all wrapped up in a little burrito. I recommend getting extra cranberry sauce. The service was quick and the waitress was friendly. It is a cute little restaurant that gets very busy. I also recommend putting your name in online so the wait isn't so bad.

    Went here specifically for the Gobblerito. If you dont know what that is, its Thanksgiving wrapped inside a tortilla. Service was attentitive and prompt. The building is clean and tastefully decorated.

    I am updating my previous rating. The last couple times I've been to this location it has improved. The bar area here is huge. Bigger than most of the other Mad Mex locations. After a flight today I stopped by here for a drink or two and some wings. I haven't had wings in forever and I enjoy Mad Mex wings. I forgot to ask for well done. Mad Mex generally does them on the well side anyway. I get grossed out by gummy, soft wings. Today without me asking, they were perfect. The bar staff was where I sat was very attentive. I sat at the bar because it had no wait, despite the tables. Very satisfied with my visit tonight.

    The Chopper Salad

    I always love Mad Mex, but this salad was just sad lol. This is the first time I've gotten the chicken served on top of the salad. Usually, I get a side of it separately and I can add the chicken on myself. And the tortilla was also in the salad. Not a big deal at all, I just prefer the chicken and tortilla separated. Anyways, like I said it was still delicious, just a little disappointed on the packaging.

    Spicy Mad Mex Burrito

    My husband was dining at mad mex and asked what I wanted so I had asked that he ordered the spicy mad mex burrito with chicken to go. When I tried it, it had a lot of rice, which I actually like but it had almost 0 chicken. I thought I miss ordered and just got a veggie burrito but 1/2 way through there was some shredded chicken on the right side of the burrito. My suggestion is to just revisit and set some standards to how these are prepared. If you cut open a chicken burrito... you should see chicken for the $20 price. Not all rice and no chicken. In full transparency I love rice and ate it but wanted to provide some form of feedback. My husbands in restaurant experience was good. Him & my son tried the gobblerito and loved it. I hope this helps to improve and doesn't hinder!

    Nice service great food perfect time to get a table when it's very crowded. It only took like 10 minutes when there's like 100 people here.

    The pineapple habanero margarita was FIRE. Had just enough heat and I really enjoyed the pineapple, I think it had some pulp in it. The trio dip was good, but I wouldn't get the original salsa, not that special. BUT THE CORN, I enjoyed that. I also got the tofu and portobello mushroom fajitas, and I'm super surprised they had that as an option! I was a huge fan and happy I got it. It was light, but it was a lot of food! The service was good and the server was extremely patient with us.

    Cheese Dip

    Stopped in with a coworker for lunch on a weekday and was quickly seated and greeted. Tried their beer cheese dip and chips, it was pretty good, with only a slight beer flavor and definitely wasn't as spicy as the menu and server made it out to be. Also tried their original salsa - it was thick, not saucy and it was tasty too. Entrée consisted of their Tinga Taco - the marinade on the chicken was great! The beans and rice that came with it was just OK, but tasted better with lots of hot sauce. The restaurant has a cool, authentic theme and décor and the menu is loaded with interesting, unique southwestern style food. It's definitely not the typical Mexican joint, slightly more upscale of a menu. I'd definitely return.

    I've been to the Mad Mex in Shadyside and thought the food was incredible and the portions were worth the money. I was looking forward to try a different location but am overall disappointed in the quality of food and drinks. I was excited about the 22 oz margarita being discounted on happy hour. It was... terrible. I understand that a happy hour drink is pre-made but it was 99% sour and 1% tequila and 100% a bad experience. I tried to drink it, could only stomach maybe 2 or 3 sips, and ended up ordering a beer instead. I told my waitress I didn't like it and she was understanding and explained it's very tart and most people don't expect that. I do feel I wasted $8 and am pretty disappointed. I'd recommend sticking to beer and taking advantage of the half off draft menu for happy hour. The honey chipotle wings were very flavorful and juicy but also cold. I asked my server if they are supposed to be cold and she told me no and immediately had her manager bring me new wings (I didn't ask for them but she told me they should be at least warm). I really appreciated this level of service. The new wings were warmer but less juicy and didn't taste as good. They tasted like they were put in the microwave. I want to be clear that the service was amazing - Brooke and her manager were attentive and kind. However, I don't think the quality of food and drinks at this location is up to par. I'm hesitant to come back and try more food and waste money. Pros: good service, a lot of outdoor space, and a sizable draft menu

    I find the food here on the spicy side. The service is good but be careful if you can't tolerate spicy food. The drinks are delicious also.

I love their chorizo con huevo because not a lot of places have that kind of dish on their menu. It is chorizo (theirs has a great deal of flavor and isn't greasy like chorizo sometimes can be), onions, peppers and eggs. They serve it with tortillas and rice. Lots of food and packed with flavor. I have also tasted the enciladas and my husband loved the cowboy burrito. For drinks, especially during the summer they have awesome daily specials. I've tried the watermelon water and the cucumber lime. So very refreshing! Service is friendly and attentive and they are great about answering any questions that you might have about menu items. I highly recommend having lunch or dinner here and then heading next door to the creamery for delicious ice cream.

Drinks - I started my meal with a skinny marg, which typically just means less or no simple. This marg was SO sweet, but had an off taste, almost like they used fake sugar typically used in diet sodas. I'm not usually super picky, but this drink was undrinkable. I switched it for a tap beer which was much, much better. TLDR; go beer, not cocktails. Food - I ordered the fajita burrito, which came topped in some sort of enchilada red sauce. This made the top of the burrito soggy, and I really did not care for the sauce. I started to eat the filling but woof, it was just not good. The chicken pieces were tiiiiiny and there were barely any fajita veggies. My boyfriend said his enchiladas were fine, and the rest of the table were pretty meh on their food. Note - My friend ordered the same thing as me, and said he got sick during the night (he suspects it's from the food). Service - Nice waitstaff that were attentive. No complaint here. I'd personally give the food a 1 star, but bc the service was solid and some folks at the table thought the food was (barely) passable I upped it to 2. Also, they have a tv and had the game on, which was nice, but we will not be returning.
