We loved this place! The atmosphere is great, including the sense that it's a family-run business. Food is delicious, and we've eaten a lot of Mexican food over the years. Everything is made fresh in-house, according to the server. The dessert was just amazing and they have a good variety of drinks. We'll definitely be back
excellent service, high-level food. I recommend your revolution burrito or your Guadalajara cake. and for dessert a delicious churro with cajeta
Lovely experience tonight! The painting on the walls in the restaurant creates a really positive vibe. Wonderful environment, great latin music, authentic food and delicious drinks. The servers are very attentive and friendly, they even surprise me with a glass of hot water before I even ask for it lol as I have gone there many times. Everything definitely matches up and make you feel the real Mexican culture in Canada. Street corn is incredible, YOU MUST TRY! This time, I also had the “chile relleno” that was fantastic accompanied with a fresh squeezed orange juice (literally fresh, it was squeezed at the moment).
What I love more and more about Mad Mexican is that they are not just making tacos and other appetizers, like most of mexican places in the GTA. If you want to have a milanesa, a chile relleno or a real chicken mole. This is the only place on Canada, you will find it prepared like your mom could do it if she happens to be mexican.
Stopped here for a snack on my way back to Home. Had the Tacos(Torrtilias are made in house) and Tortillia Soup is very Delic. Guac was amazing . The server was excellent and friendly, knowledgeable. Would go again there.The atmosphere is very cozy yet very real . Prices very reasonable.
Service was excellent! Quick and we had a great waitress who gave us recommendations for food. Food was great, and we were super impressed with the guacamole. It's really good!
I will give it a 3.5 for their drinks, tortilla chips and salsas, and the ambiance. Some work on getting consistent results with their tacos would give them extra points (i.e pork taco was somewhat dry, but the lamb and fish ones were spot on!)
This place is officially one of my favourite taco spots in the city!
I've been a fan of their salsas and guacamole for awhile now, so was eager to check out their restaurant.
All items are reasonably priced and their guacamole and nachos are enough to keep you coming back!
I ordered the grilled cod, battered shrimp and potato tacos, all equally delicious. Although the cod could also be served battered, I opted for the grilled version and loved it. Most places, all you end up tasting is the batter, but the grilled version was nice and light, but flavourful.
My friend ordered the chicken burrito, which she quite enjoyed.
If you live in the area it's a must, if you live downtown it's a must, pretty much wherever you live it's a must, you will not be disappointed!
Open for lunch and dinner, you have plenty of time to enjoy their amazing food!
Already planning my next visit!
Girlfriends, gabbing, and guacamole. Perfect for a dinner to catch up with the ladies from the the neighbourhood.
Nice spot. They need some work though. Sauces and salsas were great. Chips way to small to scoop or hold guac or salsa. Beef tacos were dry with little flavour the chunks should be larger. Pork tacos were alright but tough. Fish tacos were better. Tortillas are great they aren't too fragile. The sandwich or "torta" was nice it reminded me of being on the streets of central Mexico eating with locals. Why there is no chorizo taco here is beyond me.
Excellent tacos. We had three great tacos for 10$. Local draft beer on tap! Heaven in a neighborhood joint. Don't believe the poor reviews, perhaps they were expecting TexMex. The Mad Mexican serves quality food in appropriate sized portions for a great price.
If you love Mad Mexican salsa and guacamole you will love this place more! I had the tomatoe pepper and tortilla soup and chicken tortilla and it was insanely delicious. They offer Mexican sandwiches, small bites and soups . Delicious! Everything is under $10 each. Very fresh as everything is made on site.

I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to Toronto Mexican food. I love the Playa Cabana locations, and I frequent Grand Electric. Mad Mexican's food doesn't hold a candle to these places, but is still worth a visit.
Their tacos are decent and their veggie sandwiches make a nice lunch! They sell containers of guac and salsa, which are always better than what you could get at the grocery store. Best of all, they sell refillable bags of nachos!
I have to admit, I've always brought my food home and never eaten in the restaurant, as it has such a take-out, fast food vibe. I'll be interested to see their new and bigger location, a block north.
I mean, who doesn't love tacos, guacamole and chips? The guac was delicious and the chips were fresh - my companion and I ordered two rounds of chips, as we wanted to make sure that we finished the guacamole. We both got tacos - very tasty. We also sampled all three offered salsas (mild, medium and hot) - so good. It's a small place, but fits right in with the neighbourhood. Staff are nice and it's also World Cup-friendly. (They were playing the Australia/Denmark game when we were there) I plan to go back to try other things. My lunch pal bought a bag of chips and guacamole to go. If you're in the Bloor West/Baby Point area, you have to try this place.
Haven't tried everything on the menu yet but the tacos are tasty and somewhat unusual to my taste buds, which are used to Taco Bell style tacos. My favourite dish is the choriqueso, which is served in a cast iron skillet. Nice touch.
Service is sometimes a bit slow but always friendly!
Update: Jan. 2015. I recently tried their Sopa De Tortilla and I was impressed. So flavourful! And the heat is right to my taste as long as I don't eat the chilis. I like heat, don't get me wrong, but I don't like so much heat that i can't taste the ingredients.
This place is bigger than I thought it was.
Definitely recommend booking a table in advance to ensure you get seated as it can get pretty busy.
The drinks were pretty tasty and decent, loved the variety.
Their nachos however, were pretty disappointing. I would NOT recommend to get them. It was something I could make at home for a lot less and end up with the EXACT SAME RESULT.
The tacos definitely boosted this review from 3 stars to a 4. They were pretty flavourful and there was a good variety of choices. They are slightly on the pricy side, ranging from $6-$7 each. I will say they could’ve been heated up a tad more as they showed up on my table slightly warmer than lukewarm. Also not sure this was intentional but I noticed one of them wasn’t double shelled.
The staff were all very friendly and I had a good overall experience.
Super delicious food and amazing nacho chips. We ordered the guac which was great and I highly recommend adding the green hot sauce to it that they bring to the table.
Service was great as well.
Just wish I had enough room for dessert. Will have to get it next time!
Great ambiance and great staff, especially Mariana! The food is delicious, but a little on the pricier side. They also have a little Supermarket at the back where you can buy all sorts of different things, from Latin-inspired groceries, to alcohol and some food items that are made in-house!
Amazing food and drinks! Loved everything we ordered. 6/5 for the guac, so fresh and flavourful! Would love it if there were more vegetarian options, but the staff was really friendly and helpful and made substitutions on the dishes possible. A little on the expensive side, but would love to visit again!
Nice find in west Toronto . Interesting street patio. Reservations recommended since popular spot with locals. Very nice artwork to keep the conversation going. Service was average. Tacos were authentically good.
We enjoyed Mad Mexican! The food was quite tasty, I really loved the corn, and the guacamole! Our server was great. The one thing I wouldn’t recommend is the pecan pie, I LOVE me some pecan pie but this one was not good at all. However, our server ended up bringing us another dessert on the house (don’t know exactly what it was) but it was delish! Thank you! We will be back.
