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"!

This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant. Seriously delicious. Try the guacamole!!…read more My husband and I come here almost every week. Drinks, food, service are all fantastic. The restaurant also has a really fun vibe. The decor is themed around the Day of the Dead (don't worry not creepy)! Just really fun and a good atmosphere. Always lots of people. Good to come either in a group or on a date. We've had both the fajitas and tacos and both are very good. The churros also make a delicious dessert!

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.

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.
