Having not had time to eat all day, I was looking for a place which food I would be sure to enjoy…read moreI searched online for such place located downtown, found this Mexican restaurant, and immediately decided to travel to it Good move! The place features very typical images on the walls. Having traveled and stayed in Mexico for 5 months, I was brought right there Music is really nice Lots of seats Very friendly and efficient staff And food is a fusion, bringing the best of both worlds They have different types of snacks & sides, tacos, quesadillas, and even desserts, and plenty of drinks to choose from, tequilas, magraritas, mezcal, liquors... I personally went for a "fried jackfruit con cola" taco, a "slow braised ancho & agave lamb shoulder" quesadilla, and a "pan fried broccoli florets" side (my favorite) As a drink, as I don't drink alcohol, I went for pineapple + strawberry soda And "cinnamon spiced churros" as a dessert I really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, the staff, and the location Oh, and they also have margarita workshops for groups of people who want to learn how to make them Highly recommended, "me encantó"!

As an American, I find myself craving decent Mexican food quite a lot and MadMex is my medicine! The nachos are great, and come with some actually pretty good queso. The Tacos aren't too bad either, and you can order them in singles too (though you won't get a stamp on your loyalty card). Pro Tip: They have cilantro (coriander) hidden away if you want some on a taco, burrito, etc, just ask for it.

This restaurant is located in the food court of the Lambton Square Shopping Mall. Having lived in…read moreCalifornia for many years, I certainly know good Mexican food when I taste it. Mad Mex comes through with delicious, fresh Mexican food made from top-quality ingredients. It's a small chain based in Australia, and now is appearing in New Zealand. For those of you familiar with Chipolte Grill from America, you will get the basic idea of the restaurant's format and menus. Once you order at the counter, your food is prepared in front of you, similar to how a Subway sandwich is created assembly-line style. There are a great number of selections you can make, from burritos to tacos, with chicken, pork, steak and other options. The sauces are flavorful, and can get very spicy!

The place was opened in early 2015 by a local NZ chef who is super friendly and engaging. She talks to you by name and willing to have conversation. I've gotten the pork Burrito both times. The regular sized is $11, and the king size (which is double the size) is $17. They also have tacos, quesadillas, nachos and naked burritos. For sides, they serve beans, pico de gallo and others for $5. But they're signature side is the homemade chile con queso dip with chips for $10. Great locally owned restaurant with a promising future.

After hearing the team behind Logan Brown had opened another establishment in Wellington, I had to…read moretry it during my visit. In short, I'm giving this a mid-range review because of the service, and because the food was only okay. A bustling Saturday evening, and having only opened recently could be the reason for the not so good service, but I would've thought a month was enough time to iron out the kinks. Initially told the wait would be 45mins for a table of 6, we ended up waiting nearly 1 hour 45 minutes. Normally, I would've left to dine at another establishment, but as I mentioned above, I was very keen to try the food. After checking with the hostess a couple of times (after the initial 45 minute wait), she tried her best to be accommodating by taking our food orders early so they would be ready when we finally sat down. Unfortunately, the food wasn't worth the wait: Ribs with hoisin-lime sauce fell away from the bone as if they'd been paid good attention to, but they were a little dry. Japanese fried chicken- good salt and pepper taste, with slightly soggy coating. Chicken was nice and tender. Bavette steak- nice flame grill char, cooked very well. Fennel Apple slaw- nice, but a little bland. To summarise, the price of food here is great if you're looking to order small plates to share, I don't think the portions of the mains were suited to their higher prices. The food here is decent, but if I had to wait a long time again, I wouldn't think twice about finding somewhere else to dine. As I said above, my experience could be a one off, which is why I've given three stars and not less. In a city with amazing dining options, grill meats beer will need to pick up their game if they are in it for the long haul.i

I came here specifically to have ribs, and I was not disappointed. I had the hoisin sauce, which was sticky and salty, and really good. I also had the onion knots on the side which I've never had anything quite like it. They're like curry flavored battered onions. The one thing I wish I had was some hot sauce for those ribs. Would come back here again, and also recommend for others to try.
