on Citysearch May 15, 2009In Oakland where we've had our share of sub par food, Mad Mex certainly stood out. The service may not always be the best, and it can get pretty crowded, but I've never had anything I didn't enjoy (same for the people I've... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 20, 2009I am usually not a very tough critic, but this place is just confused. I should have known from the time I entered the door and they scanned my ID that it was more of a bar than a restaurant, but I thought since it was rated so... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 20, 2008This isn't the fanciest place but the food is always great and the prices are good. Lots of great choices for vegetarians. I always enjoy the chili rellanos. (more)

on Citysearch Aug 19, 2008Mad Mex is wonderful. As a vegan, they are so incredibly accommodating. The food is delicious with so many options. The service is usually WONDERFUL (there's one bitchy bartender). The drinks are great, and their... (more)

on Citysearch May 05, 2008This place is THE best Mexican restaurant I've eaten at in Pittsburgh. They have a lot of variety, especially for vegetarians for whom they can make dishes with portabella and tofu. Awesome food!... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 06, 2008This is our least favorite restaurant in the Big Burrito group. The quality of ingredients is high, but the food is not particularly authentic. Most locals must disagree with us, because the place is pretty popular.... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 11, 2008We've been big fans of the Big Burrito restaurants and had a craving for some Tex-Mex food. Mad Mex certainly lives up to its fine-dining siblings like Casbah and Soba. The food is terrific (we can't stop talking about... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 10, 2008I don't go to mad mex for the food, because its awful! Everything always has no flavor and its always over cooked. It doesn't matter what I order it has been a disapointment every time. I recently met an employee of mad... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 01, 2008I have always been a huge fan of Mad Mex in Oakland but lately the drinks and meals have been below average and I am now compelled to write a review. Several times I have ordered burritos and they have been 99% beans and... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 25, 2007My wife and I loved the concept, menu and ambience. We ordered 2 different enchilada dishes each with a side of guacamole for 99cts extra. The guacamole was about 1oz and was brownish in color. It had way too much salt... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 21, 2006I realize there are not that many good mexican restaurants in Pittsburgh - but Med Mex is the best Pittsburgh has to offer. It gets crowded and it is a smaller restaurant (in Oakland) but it is worth it for the food, just... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 21, 2006Along with Primanti Bros., Pamela's, and Dave and Andy's, this is another one of the places that I fondly miss since leaving Pittsburgh. It's the best mexican around, and the tiny loud atmosphere always makes for a... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 06, 2006There are unfortunately not many good Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurants in Pittsburgh. This is arguably one of the better ones, but certainly not distinctive in any way. While the service was courteous and quick, the... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 06, 2006I visited Mad Mex over the weekend from out of town. Its good but a far cry from Mexican. Mad Mex seems to have some traditional Tex-Mex (I can now say this with some authority having lived in south Texas for 8 years now, I... (more)

on Citysearch May 15, 2006If Mad Mex's food were actually Mexican, it could well be the best Mexican restaurant in Pittsburgh (more by default, as the competition is hardly stiff). Mad Mex's fusion cuisine is a tick above average, and caters... (more)

on Citysearch May 09, 2006I LOVE this place! The food is great, and they use their own twist with traditional Mexican dishes. They will often have great price specials, whether it's for lunch, late night or for those with student IDs. You MUST... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 15, 2006The first gossip I heard about Mad Mex was the giant, great margaritas they serve. Their monster margaritas with shots of alcohol in them are guaranteed to make you good for the night. I'm not a heavy drinker and I don't... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 22, 2006I went to Mad Mex when I was a Pitt student. The food was always great and the service was superb. They had a lunch special of a burrito (which was huge) and a bowl of soup for six dollars. Also on the weekend the place is... (more)
