Came here to pick up my $2 guacamole whilst the boyf got a quesadilla. There was only one person working and although he remained cool and calm he was quite under the pump. The meal was pretty much all onion with a little bit of meat. Overall I still rate. Hsha. Love their guac!!
I had a grande melt in mad mex along with a corona. It tasted really good. It has a nice atmosphere to sit down, relax and eat. They've also got a range of other exotic drinks which I'd like to try out someday.
Subiaco is the best mad mex by far! Friendly staff and generous servings! 10/10 Food quality here is kept to a great standard with everything always being fresh. Restaurant always clean and tidy!
As far as mexican style take out joints go this rates relatively highly. I stress the term Mexican style. The burritos are yummy and i love that you can you can buy just dip and chips if you want to.
Healthy Mexican dine in or takeaway. Fast delicious and filling. Different drink selections - from Mexico. Teenagers and parents both like this fast food option. Bit pricey though.

Good and affordable!
I'm a massive fan of their burrito and they never failed me! It always comes fresh and tasty! The staffs are always happy, helpful and professional!
Decor wise, I love their Corona Beer bottles pendants! It's very smart, chic yet very Mexican!
Nothing like eating a meal under the threat of death. Well if it was going to be my last meal, at least it was a good one.. A few weeks ago I was on my way to a meeting in Subiaco and dropped into Mad Mex for a quick taco. I hadn’t been there before, so was fascinated by the wrestling paraphernalia and imagery dotted around the room. Besides a good Taco the décor might give you some good ideas.
SO EXCITED!. OMG! I am SOOO EXCITED to have finally found decent tasting "Tex Mex" food here in Perth. The salsa was flavorful and the meats (carne asada and barbacoa) were perfectly seasoned and cooked. I'm from California, and this place is a welcome addition to my places to eat. Is it authentic Mexican food...not quite like being in Mexico (and I've lived there too), but it is pretty authentic Tex Mex. The picante habenero salsa was super yum.....I could eat that just straight!
Tried the one in Perth city before and this was about on par as to what to expect for a fast food Mexican. Fresh and tasty at a reasonable price. The overall offer if range food and price are alway satisfying when craving Mexican in a hurry.
Outstanding!. Great food, friendly service and fair pricing, what more could you want? We'll be back, yet again!
Top lunch spot in Subiaco!!!. After I was compelled to provide some minor criticism arising from my first few dining experiences here a few months ago, the management team and staff here at Mad Mex Subiaco must be highly commended. It appears they took the feedback in a constructive manner and have addressed all matters raised and this place now continues to one of my favourite lunch spots in central Subiaco during the week.
Staff are highly enthusiastic, food seems like it gets tastier every time and its VALUE.
Highly recommended but beat the mad (mex) rush seemingly occuring at 12:30pm daily!!!
I go hear once per week and always look forward to the healthy take out option, a lot of selection, take your time to choose all your favorite fillings and toppings. The staff are always friendly and there are pretty dam good drink options and my local Subi one has a alcohol licence. Always happy with order and the feeling great after that last bite.
Surprising!. I'm not a fan of chain restaurants, or fast food restaurants for that matter. But when in a hurry, gotta take what you can get! I was really surprised! The guy who served me seemed to really enjoy serving me, and so he should! The food was obviously good quality and fresh, the service was fast and the atmosphere was chilled out but not so relaxed that you got the impression the staff don't want to be there, like most fast food restaurants. Will be back for sure!!!
YES!. LOVE IT! Great staff, amazing vibe and good healthy food!! Definitely recommend for a healthy takeaway!
Great place for a casual bite to eat. Food is always good - the portion sizes can be a bit deceiving! We always over eat!!
Simple but good. Hey it basically takeaway but the quality and the taste is really good with some health options. Bit of an atmosphere to boot. Young crowd mostly.
Yum!. A great place to hang out with friends - conveniently located and a really fun vibe. The staff were lovely and the food, delicious :) I really liked that there were healthy options in addition to the usual wicked Mexican fare, so something for everyone! The food was very well priced and the portions LARGE. And, i must add - their churros were a great way to finish the meal. I'll definitely be going back!
Never disappoints. Great value and 2-for-1 in Entertainment Book.
First time, staff were incredibly polite and my burrito was delicious. Worth the price :3 very tasty beef.
Delicious, pretty good and cheap burritos are awesome
For someone eho does not like mexican food very much, i loved it. Really good fresh filing food. Cheap for what ya get. Really awsome love it!
Quick and easy lunch. This place has a similar style to Subway where they make your order right in front of you. The menu may look daunting at first but the staff are very friendly and are happy to help.
The burritos I find a bit on the heavy side but I am sucker for the Grande Melt (essentially a burrito minus rice and toasted for a crispy outer layer). I am absolutely in love with their extra hot hot sauce which comes on the table for an extra kick!
Their churros are deliciously addictive too with extra cinnamon sugar coating.
Awesome Tacos. Best place for reasonably priced Tacos... glad they finally made it to the "wild wild west!"
Being a long term Texas resident, now lucky to live in Australia, Mad Mex brings to life the great authentic taste of tacos. Goodonya Mad Mex :-)

Since moving to Perth from Melbourne we have been searching for reasonably priced AND good tasting Mexican Food.
MadMex is the "SubWay" of fast and tasty Mexicano food
The Subi location is just like the Chapel Street location in layout. Easy to navigate... AND. the free refills on the sodas are a nice "American" touch.
Two of us get fed with 3 Tacos each, a burrito and 2 drinks and be out the door for around $45. A bit pricier than Melbourne (it would be $35 there, but we are used to the higher food tabs here in Perth ... So we take it in stride.
Be sure take get the frequent diner card, 10 mains and you get one free!
Love it!. Have been to Mad Mex a few times now and always have a good feed there. This is nothing fancy or complicated, just fresh, quick and tasty Baja Mexican food-not Tex Mex, not mainland Mexican or any other variation of Mexican. The staff has been friendly and helpful each time I have been there so no complaints.
Good cheap eat without the fast food heaviness. Great to find an alternative to burgers within that $10-15 price bracket in the Subiaco area. It's pretty fresh, lots of choice, quick and friendly. It definitely didn't have that fast food heaviness in your stomach. I'd go back for sure.
Fair attempt. Customer service was good. Food wasnt bland or super greasy. I would go back if I was in the area.
Last minute dinner. Went for dinner on a Saturday night. Got there just before the rush, so got a table fine. A bout 5 minutes later there was a line out the door.
Tables filled with teenagers, i would say thats due o the cheap prices.
Good concept of picking your ingredients, however it was quite basic. Had a burrito with beef. Also had the chips with cheese.(Which were just corn chips)The mexican soda was lovely.
Overall the food felt like glorified takeaway and left me feeling like id eaten a tonne of greasy food.
Dont love it, dont hate it. Would i go back? Perhaps for a quick lunch sometime
The best mexican in perth at a good price. The title says it all :)
Awesome Healthy Fast Food!. Two friends and I had dinner at Mad Mex last night. The staff were friendly, our orders were quickly prepared and served, and the food totally delicious! 5 stars.
Great Food. I have been a few times and never had a bad feed yet!! keep it up
I have been to Mad Mex in Subiaco a lot of times and it is just great! From the location, the service, the decor, to the fabulous food, you can't fault it. So friendly and so yummy!!
Great Food!. Finally!! It is so expensive to eat out in Subiaco usually and there is nowhere you can go with kids. This place is so kids friendly and you don't have to get all dressed up to go there either. I love the Mexican funky music & mexican wrestlers on the walls!
My son loved it and it's so much healthier for him than other fast food KFC or McDonald.
We loved the vibe and that it's family friendly :)
Where's the changerooms?. Might want to bring a change of clothes with you when visiting this place. Guaranteed to decorate your clothes with burrito. With all burrito fillings floating in liquid, they seriously need to invest in something along the lines of a chinoise before they inundate your burrito with juice. The cheese filling drops the warmth of your burrito down to glacial temperatures, so would be good if they could heat it up and those mexican beans need to be thoroughly rinsed so you don't submerge yourself in a sandy burrito.
The crankin beats do assist in alluring customers into this joint when strolling down Hay St, but unfortunately wasn't enough to get onto my weekly lunch menu.

Contrary to my review above, I've been smashing Mad Mex on a weekly basis for the past couple of months as I finally found a meal that doesn't need a raincheck for drycleaning. The Quesadilla is tops.
Loved It. Finally. Mexican is all the craze in Perth at the moment so I was sceptical when I heard a friend rave about Mad Mex. But plesantly suprised. Really really authentic mexican food...fresh ingredients, fast friendly service and really great value for money. Well done...I'll be back! David
Food was quick and filling. Quite tasty actually but there is better mexican around. Prices are reasonable though so big pluses. Will be making a return visit :)
Great food, served quickly even when you have to queue out the door. Offers good value for money.
Think toasted burrito. Omg love it!!
❤ talk about your no-nonsense, get in and grab it, healthy, yummy Mex! I'm liking the HELL out of this place, will be liking it some more, sometime soon...
Think of this as Mexican subway. Line up, pick your bread (read:taco, burrito, tray, toasted); filling (chicken, steak or pork of various flavours) and add sauce, cheese and topping!
Pleasantly spicy, busy and hip. Nachos deserve to be toasted but otherwise the burrito are popular!
Great mexican!!!!. Definitely the best mexican food to dine at. coming from California the food here is amazing. my favorite meal is the Grande melt with the pork.
YUM. If you like Mexican then you have to go to Mad Mex. Great fresh food - fast. All the ingredients are tasty and extremely fresh. The service is great, with friendly staff and management. I eat here at least once a week, simply because it tastes great and is healthy.
Heaps to choose from - healthy to indulgent! For a sweet treat try to Churros!!
Definitely recommend.
Don't be the last one to try Mad Mex - Subi. Having worked for may years in a Mexican Resturant, I would have to say and without contemplation, Mad Mex in Subi is by far the best and authentic Mexican food in Perth.
The foundation to any Mexican food is the taste and texture of the meat. Difficult to put into words how fantastic and true to the expected flavours you would find locally in Mexico.
Defninately worth trying and exploring all the different combinations that are possible. Would be very hard to end up at the usual habit forming mono-selection we all end up doing at our other food brands we all frequent.
Cant wait to wash it all down with a Corona..
Fab service, great food. I've been back a few times since this place opened and can honestly say it's brilliant value for money, tasty food (the quesadillas and nachos are my personal faves) and friendly, fast service. Highly recommended.
Awesome. About time someone came up with something like this! Fast, friendly and reasonably priced mexican. The food is fresh (not like your usual mexican, which is often sloppy and drenched in melted cheese), the flavours are bold (both the mild and medium salsas i tried were delicious), there are a great range of varied menu options to try… i'd have to try pretty hard to find any real faults with this place. Even the vibe inside is great, the decorations are fresh and inviting and any place that plays Santana, Ben Harper and Red Hot Chilli Peppers all in a row is A-ok in my book.
I had the burrito and my wife and I shared the nachos and a chicken quesadilla. Burrito was really packed with fillings, I could easily have had the burrito on it's own and been satisfied. Having said that, i couldn't say no to the gigantic nachos we were served up. The quesadilla was crispy and satisfying, and I liked the range of dipping sauces that were offered along with it.
I've seen massive lines in there a couple of times driving past and it's easy to see why. If you're looking for a quick, affordable meal that is on the healthier side (at least compared to the KFC and Hungry Jacks across the street) and your in the Subiaco area, you really can't go past Mad Mex
FINALLY!. OMG well done Mad Mex. Is 4 times in a week count as addition?! Really amazing food thats healthy, fun, tasty and affordable. Staff were excellent. Plus love the cool fit out, esp the Corona chandeliers!!
Amazing Experience. After dining and having absolutely delicious meal at Mad Mex, I have nothing but praise for the restaurant. I was served by a Young Irish guy, who was nothing but helpful in helping my family make the right decision, and he did it all with such a friendly attitude and always had a smile on his face. After ordering we were delighted at the fast service and the overall taste of the food. Very impressed and can't wait to come back again! Great work Mad Mex!
Perfect fast and healthy meal at awesome prices. The burritos are unbelievable!! By far the best Mexican in Perth
Great food and fantastic atmosphere. Have eaten here a few times now and food is fresh and healthy as well
The best food ever!!! Best customer service!! Willl come back for sure again!!!...thank you!
Value exceeds price. The lamb on my nachos was so tender and they gave me plenty of it! Staff were well organised and happy - nothing like service with a smile to finish off a dining experience! Seems like so many places have forgotten how important that is! Definitely heading back!!!
Nothing like eating a meal under the threat of death. Well if it was going to be my last meal, at least it was a good one. A few weeks ago I was on my way to a meeting in Subiaco and dropped into Mad Mex for a quick taco. I hadn’t been there before, so was fascinated by the wrestling paraphernalia and imagery dotted around the room. When I arrived it was quite busy and the only seat left was at the table with one of the most interesting chandeliers I’ve seen in a while. In my youth I once lived in a house that had paint tins lights. We’d emptied the paint tins, stabbed them a few times with a screwdriver (as you do) then painted them a dark colour on the outside. The lighting effect was interesting to say the least, but that was nothing compared to the Corona inspired light of death hanging above me.
Always love going here for a quick lunch and being greeted by the wonderful staff. They truly offer service with a smile and are always happy to help you with your order or clarify anything.
Food is nice, Grande Melt can be a bit messy but it's always a good lunch at a reasonable value.
