In Short
Customers won't find pink stucco or sombrero-wearing waitresses here since this Pennsylvania-based chain abandons South-of-the-border cliches for funky, Southwestern-flavored art deco. Dark and cavernous, these restaurants are generally illuminated by tabletop candles and a string of red, chili pepper lights; grimacing Aztec masks stare from walls decorated with cave paintings while metal sculptures dangle precariously overhead. Whether diners choose chicken, steak, shrimp or portabella mushroom, these giant wraps of Mexican rice, black beans, and Monterey Jack keep the lettuce, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream on the side.

Whatever you do, do NOT go to this place to eat, drink, or be treated with any amount of common decency. I'm not even sure how it ever got a positive rating at all (unless it has changed hands in the past few years). The sad truth is that I've actually gone here a couple of times (b/c of the location, mostly) and every time it's been the same story - bad food, poor service, horrible management. I guess I just kept giving them the benefit of the doubt and expecting that things HAD to get better, somehow. But no. Tonight, a Tuesday b/t 6:30-7:30 p.m., myself and 5 friends decided to grab some drinks, some happy hour half-priced wings and some chips/dip. The margaritas were too sweet, the dip tasted like melted Velveeta, and we were charged full-price for the wings. When we asked the manager ("Ben") why this had happened, he said "Sorry, there's nothing we can do about that." We thought he was joking, but he just walked away. Seriously? It's amazing that this place is still open. If you are craving Mexican and/or a good margarita, go to Distrito (UCity, pricey) or El Vez (Center City, moderately priced), or even the Mexican Post (Old City, affordable)...basically go anywhere BUT Mad Mex.
