Like many, I was psyched for the opening of this location and I think the space is grand compared to the others I've been to. Sure, it's loud and proud, like the others, but it also features the many vegan options that make Mad Mex a pioneer in the Pgh area dining scene. Really, If it weren't for the vegan food (of inconsistent quality), I'd avoid the (obnoxious) Mad Mex atmosphere at all costs. But since they have discontinued the half priced food after 11pm at this location, the costs to avoid have increased. In other words, WTF. This review has been discounted by 50% to reflect my disappointment.

What a disappointing experience. I went in on 10/8/2012 for a late lunch. The crew is so disappointed to see anyone outside of rush hour. It is the most unwelcoming feeling. I could not sit down because of the filthy seat. My husband had to find something to wipe down my booth seat before I could sit down. The busser didn't even seem to notice that there was dirty seats at every table he cleaned. The floor under one table was absolutely filthy. No one blinked an eye. The manager stood and stared out to the floor. He was far enough away to not see anything. Bad strategy. The server completely abandoned us after our food came. She brought me a ketchup with nothing in it and then proceeded to stand at another table and talk for five minutes. My husband had to go get some pico and tabasco for us. We finally interrupted her to get another bottle of ketchup. I did not like my meal at all. It fell apart. It was dry. They put about a 1/4 teaspoon of hummus on it. It was a black bean burger that desperately needed salt. I had no opportunity to ask for anything to improve it because the server failed to check on us for eternity. My hubby loved his hummus and chicken dish and the caramelized cauliflower/tahini dish was out of this world delicious. That got them an additional star. This store has completely neglected the details. Their standards have taken a serious dive. I will not be going back until they have new management in place. Cleanliness, and customer service are seriously deficient.

It's in n out. If you like it, you like it. if you don't, you don't. I like it. It gets crowded though. I go during nonlunch/dinner hours.

Was in desperate need of caffeine and couldn't find my go-to (Starbucks, don't hate) so found this cute little place on Yelp. Was easier finding it on Yelp than in person honestly. FYI, if you're going by the address, it's actually in the alley behind the street (so don't look on the street itself). I'm guessing it was the owner who served me, very nice and friendly. Since it was late afternoon, I ordered a half reg half decaf coffee (lame, I know) so nothing extraordinary. The coffee tasted a little watery to me, but I'm thinking that's partially my fault for getting half decaf? I would certainly give them another "shot" next time I'm in the area. ;)
