Mad Mex - Shadyside

A group of 10 of us stopped by on Wednesday around 5pm. At least half your party needs to be there in order to be seated. We all got drinks and food. I enjoyed my Gobblerito in a bowl and my apple cider margarita. The staff seemed frazzled and overwhelmed because it was so busy. Two of my friends put in their food orders at the same time - one had hers come out and the other didn't get hers until about a half hour later. When it came time to split the bill our server was gracious enough to split ours even though it does say parties with more than eight people can't have their bill split at the bottom of the menu.

This is my first review. I was excited to go to Mad Mex. Ambiance was great! 1. Service was horrible. It took 20 minutes to receive a greeting, water or menus. 2. The Tortilla Chips were broken into pieces which were hard to share and they were not complimentary. 3. Server failed to take our appetizer saucers off the table when finished. 4. Server got my father's order wrong but blamed it on my father. 5. The Street Corn had a weird odor that made me feel ill. 6. Guacamole was ok, out of the 5 of us, no one finished their food. No one asked for a TO-Go box. 7. Our server was ok but the server who help bring out our food was extremely rude and condescending. Don't recommend nor will I ever go back but maybe yesterday was an off night.

Mad Mex is a place I have been going to for years and it is usually good. Not this time at this location. I went with a group of friends and the service was very slow. It was a cold mid-week night so I am not sure why it was like this. 3 out of 5 orders were not correct in some way. The chicken was over fried. The chips and queso was decent. Maybe this was an off night for them.

It's been a while since I've updated this review, so I just want to note a few things. There is now an upstairs area to the back of the restaurant. It's a little less busy and more quiet up there, but I do feel like the waitress forgot us a bit. No matter. Mad Mex is a pretty casual place, so I'm really just in it for the food.The Wingos Wrap is by far my favorite, followed by the Beanie Quesodeanie. I went with the wrap and was not disappointed. This time of year you can also get the Street Corn -- don't miss out! I'm not even an aioli person and I think it's a really nice appetizer or side dish. You can order no aioli or aioli on the side if you want.Sad to say that they have taken the ice cream burrito off of the menu. RIP to my favorite Saturday & Sunday style dessert So if you need me, I'll be in my kitchen figuring out how to recreate it from scratch.

Not the best photo but my wingo salad was so fresh and tasty!! The service was great and it was so nice to be able to sit

probably one of the best wings i've had at this place. previously they were a hit or miss but i'm glad the last time im here the wings are big sized and the service was attentive. i wish their "big ass margs" were stronger as it tasted water down a bit.

This is probably my favorite Mad Mex in the city. Mainly due to their parking availability and how wonderful their staff is. Also, having kids, it's nice to go somewhere they can be loud and the other patrons are even louder. What I have to say about this location is they have gone above and beyond. Their food's standard Mad Mex however my dad passed away in March. The last week of his life they were the best while getting his favorite meals for him while at Shadyside Hospital. To the point, their manager or maybe bartender, was kind enough to make a virgin margarita to take to him before he passed and when he was only able to take ice and liquids. That's something really special. We have always loved MM and BB. We have been enjoying all of their locations for years and have been regulars. My dad wasn't a regular at Shadyside and they still went above and beyond to make sure he was able to enjoy what he loved until the end of

10/10. Huge recommendation. Amazing prices, get the burrito- phenomenal huge square size that will for SURE fill you up. Food is delicious, does take some time to come out but all my homies and I were very very happy with the food. Came after hooping and went home stuffed happy and sleepy. Def recommend bringing some friends after a workout. One of my favorite places in Pittsburgh so far (just moved here a couple of weeks ago). I'm from LA which does mexican food great and I loved it here.

Great place for groups and one of the first places I ever visited in Pittsburgh ever so long ago. The ambiance is pretty cool, unique artwork and murals with interesting lighting choices like tiny jalapeño string lights. Went for happy hour drinks with friends on Groundhog Day for their $8 Big Azz Margarita deal and they were super busy. I'd recommend making a reservation in advance but my party of 5 only took about a 5 mins wait. The guac and salsa was great to snack on and the sangria marg blend was alright. I definitely recommend the strawberry or mango marg on the rocks - something two of my friends got. The wait was a bit long but we didn't mind since we knew they were really busy. Plus, our server was so kind and checked in on us from time to time. I'd def stop by for their happy hour again, I think they have a half off wings deal as well.

It's always a good day when I get to go to Mad Mex. They are one of the few places that still offer complimentary chips and salsa at the bar. Their margaritas are tasty and offered at a steep discount during happy hour. On my recent visit I was excited to learn that they now offer the seitan wings in the same sauce that is used for the Pennsyltucky Tofu appetizer. I had to try it and was NOT disappointed. They were really good. Definitely recommend.
