"Not recommended"   My Rating

	Review: My husband and I have given Mad Mex many chances but unfortunately an overwhelming percentage of meals we've eaten here have been made incorrectly. I've had chicken in my chickpea burrito and dairy cheese and dairy sour cream instead of soy/tofu. I've been lied to about ingredients. The potato taquitos cannot be made vegan, by the way. The tofu sour cream tastes awful. We won't be returning to this restaurant.   Pros: open late * * Cons: food made incorrectly * uninformed staff * extremely noisy

"Excellent vegan options"   My Rating

	Review: I can't echo the sentiment of other reviews (particularly on Yelp) about the zoo-like atmosphere and terrible service. We went late Sunday night and the place was almost empty. Most of the food is half off from 10pm to 12am which is a great incentive to eat there late. As far as I can tell, the vegan sour cream is not Tofutti or a commercial brand; it says "tofu sour cream" in the menu and definitely has a different consistency and taste from the processed, soy-based stuff most vegans are used to. Not bad, just different. The soy cheese is most likely Follow Your Heart though I couldn't find out for sure. The vegan options are incredible. They have a crispy tofu dish that rivals any Asian restaurant in Columbus or otherwise, complete with a mild peanut sauce, sesame seeds, and soy sauce. It was incredible. They also feature hummus with Mexican pumpkin seeds which sounds incredible, though I didn't try it. The burritos are excellent and many other dishes can be vegan, including the tacos. The wealth of menu options and customizations make Mad Mex a great place to go with your omnivore friends. They are a relatively small chain (about 10 stores nationwide), so recommend they carry a popular food service mock meat (Boca, for instance) before they blow up! We told our server and he was very receptive. Overall - another excellent restaurant in Columbus for vegans and vegetarians, with late-night hours.   Pros: vegan-friendly * taste * variety Cons: * *

"Excellent Food for Veg and Non Veg"   My Rating

	Review: It is rare to find a place that is equally god for vegetarians and our non veg friends, but this place is it. It has become a must visit when we are in columbus. I highly recommend almost everything on the menu. It can be a bit spicy, but the flavors are fresh and vibrant. This isn't bland nor is it the big cheese glops you expect in many Mexican places. It tastes remarkably complex- lost of different flavors and textures harmonize into each distinctive dish. I especially loved the green salse and the hummus. The chickpea chili was too spicy for me, but my better half loved it.   Pros: near campus * fresh * unusual dishes Cons: a bit too spicy on some things * *

"So-So"   My Rating

	Review: Mad Mex can be good, but it depends entirely on what you get. The soy quesadillas are not good. Howver, the Thai Curry burrito is delicious (and vegan) and so is the chickpea soup. I would suggest going after 10 pm (they are open til 2) because the burritos are half off.   Pros: Vegan Options * Atmosphere * Hours Cons: Price * Some foods *
