Mad Mex

March 14, 2012

We've been hitting upward Mexican joints all over town lately, together with big ups from Louise, Carla together with an anonymous commenter position Mad Mex at the travel yesteryear of our 'to try' list. It's a chain that started inwards Sydney together with has straight off spread across Commonwealth of Australia - at that topographic point are a twain inwards Melbourne, on Chapel Street together with inwards Melbourne Central. We hitting upward the Melbourne Central store, inwards a piffling corner of the nutrient courtroom amongst its ain tables together with a liquor licence. They've done a expert undertaking making the setting interesting, amongst Corona-bottle calorie-free fittings together with cute piffling planter boxes.


The card is sort of a build-your-own Mexican repast setup - yous select a base of operations way (tacos, burritos, nachos etc) together with and hence select fillings, sauces together with toppings. The mix together with tally way agency that Mad Mex is both vegan together with gluten-free friendly, which is a rarity inwards nutrient courtroom way places.

On our commencement quick visit, Cindy together with I split upward a plate of the nachos ($10.90, non pictured every bit nosotros were camera-less). They come upward covered inwards the stock veg filling (a mix of eggplant, zucchini together with mushrooms) amongst cheese, dark beans, your selection of salsa, sour cream together with guacamole. The corn chips were crispy together with fresh together with the toppings generous together with tasty - a promising start.

We returned a calendar week or hence after for a proper meal. Cindy went amongst the veggie quesadillas ($9.90), which included the same veggie filling together with oodles of cheese grilled betwixt 2 tortillas together with accompanied yesteryear corn together with tomatillo-based salsas, a fresh love apple tree mix, sour cream together with guacamole (which is costless amongst all the veggie dishes).


The accompaniments were all pretty great, but the quesadillas themselves were a flake disappointing. They were really, actually cheesy, which sort of overwhelmed everything else together with the eggplant/zucchini/mushroom filling had a slightly bitter taste. They were difficult function - Cindy didn't larn inwards through the whole dish.

I went for the touchstone veg burrito alternative ($10.90), amongst the veggie filling together with all the trimmings: dark beans, rice, cheese, guacamole, hot salsa, sour cream, onions together with capsicum together with the fresh tomatoes.


It's a expert sized burrito - together with rattling filling, but I wasn't crazy well-nigh it. I had the same issues amongst the eggplant mix - it stood out amidst the residuum of the ingredients, together with non inwards a peculiarly pleasant way. I yell back I'd lead maintain enjoyed this to a greater extent than amongst only the beans together with rice every bit the principal filling. Still, the hot salsa was abrupt together with smoky together with the guacamole fresh together with delicious, hence it wasn't a consummate loss.

Mad Mex provides the fastest fast-food Mexican inwards town - the production trouble at the counter agency yous larn from ordering to eating inwards less than v minutes. The staff are friendly together with the flexible nature of the card is a plus. We were only a flake disappointed yesteryear the actual nutrient (especially on the dorsum of all the rave reviews) - if we're eating inwards the nutrient courtroom for roughly argue we'd in all probability larn back, but nosotros won't live on making a special trip to seek it out adjacent time.

From a vegan perspective, both easy every bit vegan pie together with Louise, yesteryear Degrees together with fans, land meat-eaters: Americans inwards Melbourne, eat.drink.write, Melbourne Dining Experiences, new international students, trish eats together with The Chronicles of Ms I-Hua (sponsored post) also all laissez passer on it the thumbs up.
