    Tacos
    Susan A.

    What a terrible experience. I brought my adult kids in for dinner. The place was almost empty so there's no reason our food should have come out cold and virtually inedible. The boys both had burritos that had lukewarm temperature meat. My daughter had hot dogs that looked like they had been sitting at a 7-11 all day. I have celiac disease and when I inquired about items on the menu that were safe to eat, the girl at the counter said 'I don't know.' How do you work in food service and not know about food allergies? I ended up ordering 2 tacos on corn tortillas. When they came out, the tortillas were cold and the ground beef was unseasoned and gray. I spoke to the male who was working and asked for the manager - he said, 'It's basically me.' I explained the situation and he said that it's just him fulfilling orders... there was 1 other table and they'd been there awhile. It wasn't busy so there was plenty of time to properly heat up the meat on the burritos and to warm up the corn tortillas. It was a very disappointing dining experience for out of town guests.

    Possibly the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at in my 38 years of life. I went with a group of 8 people and not anyone in my group enjoyed their food. My husband ended up vomiting in the middle of the night from his meal (brisket tacos)! I am pretty certain the chicken they use in their dishes is canned chicken. CANNED! If it's not, it tastes exactly like it is. The ground beef is not seasoned, is gray, and has the texture like it was boiled. I had the quesadilla that has mac n cheese in it and it had the gray meat, and bland, strange mac n cheese inside. I really don't like writing bad reviews, but people need to know. It's a public service. Stay away!

    As a true Hispanic this is far from Mexican food or even Tex-Mex. Everything had absolutely no flavor to it.

    Stopped in for lunch with 6 adults and 2 kids. Service was nice. Size of accommodations were good. Food was good but a little bland. I ordered the macaroni quesadilla with brisket but I think I got chicken. Still a pretty cool place.

    Firstly, the Mad Mexican's staff were very friendly to me and my family upon our first visit. We ordered upon their recommendations and unfortunately, it fell flat. While the food was edible, it was largely flavorless and not well seasoned (or seasoned at all). I'm not even sure if I would consider this restaurant Mexican or even Tex-Mex. They were packed when we went, which clearly means others enjoy it. Plus they have Coke products and a nice beer selection. Just not for me.

    Food portions were small for large price. Food has no flavor whatsoever. Had to add a lot of salt, pepper and extra salsa.

I know that several years ago there *was* another Mexican place in the same plaza, but it morphed into an Italian and later an Asian place, so maybe that was the point where this one started (?). There is plenty of parking in the plaza and a side-lot mostly dedicated to this restaurant. We came here for a dinner on a Monday as we had errands to run in Newnan. Somewhat surprisingly, it was quite crowded. There was no wait, but it was mostly full the whole time we were there. With the crowds come noise - if you are looking for a quiet dinner, this is not the venue for you. I don't know if this was normal, but they also had a couple of separate birthdays being celebrated. Both involved a large sparkler-type thing and one involved the staff singing. I'm not complaining, just trying to describe the vibe. And, they have a robot that delivers some of the food. It seemed to have difficulty with navigating some of the aisles, so they may need to give up on it or reconfigure the seating. The menu was a departure from a standard Tex-Mex format. You could choose different meats for your tacos, etc. They had a variety of burritos and enchiladas. They also did offer a small set of combo meals - 2 tacos, rice, and beans. You could still choose alternate tacos for them. I went with that, while my wife opted for a 3-taco platter. We both liked the food and it tasted fresh. Prices seemed a bit higher than other Mexican places. I noticed that wine was $10 per glass also. You can definitely get a quality meal here, but for us it would be a longer drive to pay more for a similar meal that we could have in a quieter venue closer to home. I don't think I'll become a regular here, but it's fine depending on what you're looking for.

Thought that 18.00 was a bit steep until the super sweet girl working the counter handed me the bag. I honestly thought she must have given me some families order because it weighed at least 2 pounds. It came with chips and homemade salsa that were the best I have had in this town and, if you notice how many reviews I give, that's saying a LOT! It also came with a side of rice and beans that were as authentic as they come. I was sincerely impressed. I got home and laid everything out. The spread was enormous and, as you can see from the picture below, it looked amazing! It tasted the same. From the massive quantities of delicious pork, to the generous topping of Queso, all wrapped in a tortilla that tasted like it was made fresh hours ago, the experience was one I'll be back for and gladly pay over 20.00 for but happy it was less. In a nutshell, if you love delicious, authentic, Mexican food but don't try this place, you hate yourself.
