About

Mad Mex is a lively, modern Tex-Mex chain with a large menu and colorful decor; reviewers single out the crispy seitan wings, tofu tacos, and fresh guacamole. Vegan cheese and sour cream can be substituted, but the menu labels vegetarian dishes rather than clearly identifying vegan ones, so ask staff to confirm ingredients.
