The Mad Mexican — Restaurant in Newnan

A first-timer to this joint as of last night. The Mad Mexican has tasty food with a warm atmosphere. This isn't true Mexican food and more of a "Tijuana Flat's" take on Mexican (but better, more fresh, and less repetitive in my opinion), but I have absolutely NO issue with that. While I greatly enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine and know where to go for it, the Mad Mexican has their own spin on their menu which is the point and why I truly enjoyed my experience. The quirky menu is fun, but the flavor of the selections are fantastic from the items that I had ordered. I had also lucked out by showing up on a Taco Tuesday. The food isn't your run of the mill style of cuisine and leans more towards a fresh homestyle approach. Upon arrival, I was met with warm greetings and had my order taken by Chrissy who was helpful and polite. Brian was also very welcoming and it is clear that he knows how to treat his customers. This business is clearly fueled by passion and love for food and with the type of quality and care that is greatly appreciated by this customer! I look forward to returning to try the remainder of the menu!

To add, they also have a pretty solid beer selection.

Thank you all for a wonderful experience and a tasty dinner!

The most lackluster dining experience for your money, this place literally has the most bland Mexican and southern food we have ever had. The corn and bean “salsa” was canned corn and beans mixed together, no salt or tang, not even onion or cilantro which are two staples of Mexican food. The jalapeño slaw was just cabbage and mayo, not even a hint of green, salt or jalapeno in the bowl. The Mac and cheese was a sorry excuse for and insult to Mac and cheese. It looked and tasted like Mac noodles mixed with terrible queso fresco or pimento, but it was hard to tell because it was just gray. Not even my toddler would eat it and he loves any type of noodle/cheese combo. The burritos were essentially wraps half-filled with unmelted, dry cheese and iceberg lettuce. The chicken in the burrito was beyond recognition since it was shredded and covered in some mayo based sauce, possibly it was supposed to be chicken salad? This restaurant has like a fun name and concept that was terribly executed. You don’t have to be a Mexican chef to cook Mexican food but you should be a good chef.

I wish I could give this "restaurant" negative reviews. The food is...ASTOUNDINGLY....AWFUL. We watched the gross flavorless room temp, unseasoned canned "chicken" being scooped out of a bucket in the back by a worker using his bare hands. It then gets tossed on some sad flavorless overly airy nacho "chips" and topped with a watery sad attempt at queso and a weird sweet sauce that must be meant to be bbq sauce?? Opened the cups of "salsa" and realized that's what the gross smell was in the restaurant. It's like watery lime flavored tomato acid. Be warned, they won't give you a refund for your uneaten sad attempt at "food" and will just explain its a Mexican BBQ fusion restaurant. Without exaggeration, it's probably the worst restaurant I've ever eaten at in my entire life. If this restaurant stays open and continues to serve food, I've honestly lost a little faith in...
