I'd give it zero stars if I could...

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.

Disappointed and Still Hungry

by spoongirl

We visited Mad Mex with out of town family because they love Mexian food. My son, a toddler, was with us, so I checked on line to see if they had a kids' menu. Since the site said they did, we thought this would be a perfect place for us to visit. Once we sat down to order, I asked for the kids' menu and the server said they didn't have one. He got the manager, who said that even though I looked online, their branch didn't have a kids menu. Strike one. We figured out what to order my son and moved on. We all ordered our meals, and our server left. It took at least 40 minutes for us to get our food. Never once did our server come to assure us that the food was coming, even though he walked right past us. Strike two. When the food finally came out, it was terrible! Strike Three. I had the chicken tacos, which were burnt and had no flavor whatsoever. We were all eating spicy food, yet couldn't even get the waiter to stop at our table so we could get refils on our drinks. I finally stopped eating and decided that I'd eat something better at home. We left frustrated and disappointed. I will NOT return to this restaraunt , nor would I recommend it. The service and the food were definitely not what should be at a "4-star restaraunt", especially in the city.
