Mad Mexican

I ordered 3 tacos which I enjoyed with corn as a starter. Everything was good. I found the food came out rather quickly. All the dishes that were coming out looked delicious and so I will have to come back and try other menu items. Pricing is good. Food was good- not the best I've tried but I would definitely come back- solid 3.5 stars. Nothing about this place was bad but nothing was very outstanding. Good place to stop in and grab some Mexican food. More...

This review is simply for their Mad Mexican guacamole that they sell through Loblaws grocery stores. I give it 4.5 stars. It's very fresh, very tasty, and has more than a hint of lime juice (which also helps keep it from turning brown too quickly after being opened .)The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because it's pricier than all the other guacamoles at the grocery store. Having said that, it's the best I've had. More...

This restaurant is putting in the effort and it shows. Nice space. Big and open. Unfussy and a bit rustic but very clean. I love the mural on the north wall . Our server Celia was very nice and very knowledgeable. She really took her time with the specials and telling us what she recommended from the menu. I had the chille relleno poblano. It was so good. Firstly, it was absolutely bursting with cheese and smothered in a gorgeous thick tomato sauce. What really surprised me were all the fresh vegetables with it. Perfectly cooked. Not mushy. Amazing. It came with rice and black beans. Highly recommend. My husband had the steak tacos. I didn't try them but they smelled amazing. He loved them. Thanks MM. we will be back soon! More...

Best tacos I have found so far in toronto. Everything is fresh, from the tacos, nachos, drinks, guacamole etc. And the staff is amazing, they aren't nothing you too much, but they don't forget about you either. The food comes quickly. And the restaurant is so nice to sit in, it looks aesthetically beautiful. Overall it's a great experience for tacos More...

Best Mexican restaurant I've encountered in Canada! 10/10 would recommend!!!!!! Really rustic and modern interior decor. Great bar too.  The owners did a beautiful job with the wall paintings, portraying lots of Mexican pride and history. Beautiful! Service was perfect: very friendly, attentive, and informative. The food was fantastic. Nachos are a MUST. We ordered them as an app, and my father re-ordered them as his entree.. (THAT good!!!! Lol)Pro tip: Add steak and Guac. Amazing! Drinks are reasonably priced. The corona/margarita combo is definitely worth trying!!! Super good price too. Leaves you wanting a vacation to Mexico! You can mix a match tacosI ordered a Chicken Tinga taco, NY strip loin taco, and Pork Carnitas taco. (Add cheese) Chicken tinga was okaaaay.. wouldn't order again! But My favourite was hands down the NY and the carnitas -- both VERY good! Been looking for a good Mexican spot! So glad I found it More...

Great to-the-point tacos! I got the chicken tinga.  Portion was excellent. Not this two-bite taco size you see at some of these other Taco joints that people Rave about and you end up spending hoards of cash to get full. The chicken was excellent quality and the seasoning on it was also excellent and you get three toppings on the side that you can add further (salsa/pico, salsa verde and the third thing I wasn't quite sure but I think it was refried beans). Most importantly the tacos or not greasy they were not in any way salty. They felt very healthy and I did not have an upset stomach after like I have other Taco joints. I'm making my way through the taco joints in the city but I can certainly say I prefer them over some of these popular places like grand electric. I just want a traditional to the point taco. Also 4.5 star because I did take out not dine in so I can't comment on The Full Experience but the restaurant was  bustling when I went in on a Tuesday evening to pick up dinner and the food was ready fairly quicklyThanks!

Very good tacos. Nice atmosphere inside, but I could not read the sign outside! That, with the darkened windows made it difficult to see if it was open, let alone, an actual business. I advise them to get a legible sign outside. I had the Guatalahara style burrito, ake "smothered" burrito. Burrito itself was amazing. Fantastic wheat tortilla and plentiful, flavourful meat. But the "smother" was an onion sauce with extra onion. If there is one ingredient I appreciate least, it's onions. I scooped the burrito out of the smother and on to the plate and it was much better. Had the flan for dessert. Delicious. BUT there was a sauce issue again. This time it tasted like pure vanilla. The sauce was so bitter I tipped the plate to drain the sauce away and devoured the custard like it deserved. When ai pointed this out to the server he deducted it from the bill and said he'd pass it around to taste. An off day for sauces? Maybe. But, this Baby Point burrito joint was pretty good. Good for allergies too. Aware and able to compensate for a gluten sensitivity. More...

I tried Mad Mexican's tacos when I was at the Yoga and wellness show. They were selling their famous nachos and tacos. I was really hungry and in need of something gluten and dairy free, so I ordered one of each of their tacos. I tried the mushroom tacos (these were the messiest of the three), the carnitas (pork tacos) and the chicken tacos. I had them add guacamole to mine for an additional $2.00 since everyone told me they are known for their famous guacamole.The guacamole was super fresh and it went perfectly with each taco. The chicken tacos were my absolute favourite and the other two were right behind. I would definitely recommend these tacos and would definitely stop by their Jane and Bloor location if I was in the area. More...

Lively ambience. Good attentive service if a bit slow (but it was a busy night). We got the carnitas tacos and the sirloin steak tacos. Good flavours, although I found the meat on the tacos a bit more on the drier side than I'm used to. The churros with caramel was a highlight. Made fresh and crunchy, complex sweetness and excellent texture. I'd come here just for the churros again. We didn't get drinks but it looked like there was an extensive menu including many tequila based drinks. More...

Ordered three different tacos, the Mexican corn, and the Mexican coffee. Very tasty! Everything was well seasoned and fresh. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because the tacos were a little tad too oily. Price is fair, not the cheapest taco place but can't complain. The Mexican coffee was delicious. A nice blend of cinnamon and clove. Our waiter was also very nice and tentative. The atmosphere was comfortable. I'll be coming back for sure. More...

Went here on a date one afternoon, and the place was super quiet. The staff was super helpful and recommended some wonderful options, and we ended up having margaritas and beers.  The Taco carnes were delicious, as was the guacamole. It's a little bit out of the way,  and a treck to get there on the TTC,  but the bus is right on the route from the subway. Over all good authentic food,  and price points weren't too crazy.  They also have a take away grocery area too,  for those who want to make the items at home. More...

This was my second time here, last time was months ago and both times were great. This time I made it for the lunch special. We started with the guac, was nothing special but the chili oil over top gives it a good kick. For mains I got the shrimp taco which was perfectly crispy and the slaw was not to overpowering. I got my favourite from the last time, the carnitas!! It was perfectly salty and fatty. My girlfriend who was vegetarian got the two veggie options, the potato taco was her favourite over the fajitas veggies. Also tried the revolution torta which was amazing! steak and choriza with avocado, onion and mayo on a perfectly cripsy yet soft light bun! I will defo get again! More...

Ate at Mad Mexican last night and was impressed by the service and the food. I'd walked past this place several times the last few months and wondered what it was like but was put off by some of the yelp reviews. I'm glad I finally decided to check it out. My plan was to have drinks with a friend but when I saw the wonderful looking dishes coming from the kitchen, I was tempted to eat as well. First off, I should start by saying the service was fabulous. From being greeted cheerily at the door, to requesting to be moved to a bigger table because another friend joined us at the last minute, to the very end of the meal when we asked for a split cheque, service was polite, efficient and you definitely felt like you were appreciated as a customer.  I ordered a beer and the chile relleno entree. My dining companions had a variety of tacos. My order was the superstar at our table. Not because the tacos weren't good but because tacos are just tacos and pretty much available everywhere these days. My dish looked amazing and tasted every bit as good as it looked. We were offered three different sauces with our food and I tried all three and thought they were very good (a salsa verde, a chunky tomato salsa and a darker looking chunky sauce that reminded me of an olive tapenade -this last one was spicy and the best of the three).If there was any drawback it was the noise level. This is fine if you are ok with a boisterous and loud atmosphere with your regular crew just to eat and make merry but if you want to have a conversation and really catch up with someone, this would not be the ideal spot.  I am already planning my next visit here and look forward to trying all the non-meat options on their menu. I'll skip the tacos though and take advantage of the fact that this place serves sone really good Mexican food that you might not find on other menus or not done as well. More...

We came here for dinner & cocktails tonight and both were fantastic! They make several (at least 4) types of salsa in-house, which is always a good start. I had a spicy margarita with curaçao and habanero, which seems like a weird combination at first, but is really delicious. I loved my fajita burrito, and everybody else's food was great as well. This is very much a "classy" rather than "authentic" Mexican place, so the portions are a little smaller and the presentation a little crisper, but it has a great, dark, mellow atmosphere and everything was delicious.

Mad Mexican recently overhauled their menu making great improvements. Their food has always been made to order fresh and delicious but they made one change I enjoyed. Rather than serving a separate salsa carousel with the tacos, they sauce up the tacos deliciously the way the chef recommends. Now, they just give hot sauce on the side when asked.The flavours seem to be authentic, and bursting with flavour. What a great resto to have in the hood.  Great for a romantic dinner or a night out with a group of friends at the high top tables. Can't go wrong with Mad Mexcian.. Great value and taste. More...

I was really hesitant to come here with the 3 star rating and not so great reviews but I'm glad I gave it a chance. My boyfriend and I first came here on a Saturday night. It was busy but we didn't have to wait long for a table. We came back again yesterday and it was quiet, which we liked.Atmosphere:- It was nicer than I expected. I like how they have the bar with a TV- The layout is OK overall but it's a turn off if you're seated in certain areas ; e.g. facing towards the washroom area which lacks a main door and is beside the kitchen OR facing into the back where you can see the poor guy washing tons of dishes- The front section where you can walk in and buy salsa, guacamole etc. and pick up your order is great. Saves people the trouble of going to the bar, like other restaurantsFood:- Choriqueso was delicious. My boyfriend loved how cheesy it was. I probably wouldn't get it again unless there was more people to share with. Gotta save room for the tacos!- Nachos was the best I've ever had anywhere. I usually pick at nachos at bars if other people order it but I was never that into it. We ordered it with sirloin steak. The amount of toppings was perfectly proportionate. They didn't come with salsa or sour cream but our server was nice enough to bring us some.- Tacos were amazing. So far on my taco hunt, Mad Mexican is the winner. I liked them so much I came back within 2 days! I had the carnitas de michoan, ensenada style with white fish and sirloin steak. The carnitas was definitely my favourite!Service:- Both times the servers were nice, but our food took forever to come out! The appetizer always came out within good time, but the main meal took too long.- I think some better training is needed as well. I wanted to try the ceviche and I asked our server about the portion size (individual or shareable). She told me it was like a soup. I had never had ceviche before but based on pictures I always thought it was like a cold salad. So I looked up pictures and sure enough, NOT soup. So that's a fail on their part.- Our server also asked us if we wanted the sauces for our tacos. Um obviously! That should be brought out without asking!- When we came yesterday, they introduced their new menu which hiked up their prices so no more 3 for $12 tacos, unless its lunch.- We ordered 2 carnitas, 2 ensenada and 1 sirloin steak. Our server ended up charging us individually per taco, instead of combining some of them. Not a huge deal but it displays laziness.Overall, my review seems negative but I really do enjoy the food here. I just think they need to step it up with their service if they want repeat business.

My first visit was for a quick lunch and I was pleased with how fresh the food was and how clean the place was. As someone who lived in Central Mexico, I can certify that the food is "authentic. " They have no burritos or flour tortillas, which would make it unauthentic, however, they do have tortilla chips, which are uncommon in Mexico, so that's the only compromise. Their menu offerings also look authentic and inspired, so I'm not sure why so many Yelpers have commented that the menu is uninspired. There were only five tables occupied when I visited, so the service was friendly and fast. I told both the host and server that it was my first visit, and they answered some of my questions about the place and made me feel welcome. But, they brought me a beautifully-presented tray of their house-made salsas without anything to try them on! I had no basket of tortilla chips or bread with which to try these salsas and my food was seasoned perfectly (i.e., not in need of any salsa), so I could not try the salsas and consider them for purchase at their front-of-store boutique. That was a missed opportunity for them. My Sopa de Tortilla was authentic, balanced, generous, and delicious. My Pollo Yucateco Pibil Taco was perfect: moist, generous, and flavourful chicken housed in fresh, house-made corn tortillas. I had a cup of their brewed Mexican Coffee and it was a good deal at only $1.75 and very heart-warming. I loved how their food was served on enamelware.I will definitely return to try more of their dishes and have larger meals. Perhaps my opinions of the place will change when I try something more substantial. More...

We randomly saw this place online and decided to try because it was open and  we were craving tacos.  What a gem!  The bartender got our drinks as soon as we sat down while we went over the menu.  So the best thing about this place is that everything is made in house from the tortillas to the salsas and if not it's comes right from Mexico.  We just go back from two weeks in Mexico and we have say the tacos and salsa tasted like it came from there. Super authentic.  We love the carnitas tacos but all the tacos were excellent. It is very meaty without any of the filler stuff.  If we order three taco (you can mix the different tacos cause of a lot places don't let you do that), it's $12. You can feel full from 3 tacos.  Also the margaritas' was very authentic for only $6. We love the spicy rim.  If you love the chips and salsas, you can get it at the front of the restaurant and have it at home.  Larry our waiter was amazing!  You definitely need to try this place.  We will be back.
