Hi I'm Teagan and I'm a Mexican food junkie. I have run out of fingers to count the Mexican I have eaten. Having spent sometime living in South America I have an understanding of authentic foods and flavours. I love Mexican but I am not a spicy food lover, it's a real bug bear of mine going for Mexican and being slapped in the face with spice spice spice. For me Mexican food is about freshness, light food that can be enjoyed on a hot summer afternoon with an ice cold Corona.    

These burritos come wrapped in bright red foil and are Mexican rolls of heaven. Peeling away the foil bit by bit and revealing the fresh Mexican goodness inside is euphoric. Mad Mex is hands down the best Mexican I have come across. Put aside the cheese, sour cream, and Western fillings, the spices and flavours used at Mad Mex are as authentic as they come. The staff are consistently energetic and bubbly and I love that they use Spanish all over the store to label the bins, cutlery, menu items, drinks, ect. They always have Spanish music playing and the staff frequently speak Spanish with each other. Mas arroz por favor! The atmosphere is open and friendly, although my local store is more takeaway than eat in being in the middle of a shopping centre.  

The fresh ingredients make the food a roaring success. Everything is always fresh, you can watch the staff cut kilos of avocado to make the guacamole, grill huge volumes of chicken, and cook jumbo pots of rice. Mexican food has to be full of fresh ingredients for me and Mad Mex nails it. 

I would recommend Mad Mex to any Mexican lover. The price is great for the quality of the ingredients. The staff are always friendly. They have a great loyalty program. They have a liquor license for those who love a beer to wash down their Mexican or a frozen Margarita over lunch with the girls. The food is consistent, whether it's lunch time peak hour or closing time. I will be back for more delicious burritos!
