Mad Momma’s Day

Mad Momma's Day

Your mom called us and asked us to tell you that instead of flowers for Mother’s Day this year, she wants a nice Sunday buzz from a $6 Big Azz margarita. And you know she’s not cooking on the Day of the Moms – she wants the Nacho Momma’s Taco Platter. Since it’s only $6, you’ll have enough left over to get her those flowers after all. The lady deserves it!

A Cinco Thanks

A Cinco Thanks

Another Cinco has come and gone, and this year was one of the best yet. The bands, the smiling faces, the roasting pigs, the flow of tequila, and a perfect weather day…what’s not to love? We just want to give a shout out to our hard-working staff – this is by far our busiest and longest day of the year – and a big thank you to all you Cinco partiers that make the day such a blast. We’re already looking forward to seeing you next year. Gracias!!

Cinco de Mayo – Mad Mex’s Biggest Day of the Year

Cinco de Mayo is to Mad Mex what St. Patrick’s Day is to…well… everywhere. We spend months gearing up to make sure all our Mexers have the most legendary all-day Cinco party this side of the Rio Grande. You want Dos Equis?  We have 22 oz drafts for just $5. After a few of those you will surely become the Most Interesting Man in the World. All other Mexican beer bottles are $1 off, too. You want some early eats to prep yourself for all that booze? We got you covered. Breakfast Mex starts at 9 AM with Breakfast Burritos and Eggchiladas. Wanna win a year of free Mex? Sure you do. Get here and enter the contest. Some of our locations are tearing up the neighborhood with outside parties complete with live music and bands, pig roasts, games, beer, tequila and margarita stands, plus good-looking people everywhere you look. Or at least it will seem that way. Take a look at Cincos past:

Mad Mex celebrates Pittsurgh Craft Week

Which came first, great places to get craft brews in Pittsburgh or the craft beer lovers that keep those places jumping? Whichever the case, the next nine days celebrate both. The first annual Pittsburgh Craft Beer week kicks off today when each Mad Mex taps Boulder Beer’s Hazed and Confused plus 6 of their other favorite brews. From there each Mex is celebrating with with twenty-some beer-centric events between them including free swag and live music. Some of the best breweries around are taking over our taps and sending reps into the Mad Mex’s to offer education about their beer…and of course, tastings and giveaways. Check out the full lineup: madmex.com/regions/pittsburgh/events/2012/04/20/index.shtml

Cheers!

Shadyside Mex is jumping on the Brunchwagon!

This Sunday marks the beginning of what is sure to be many blissful (or recovering) Sunday morn-afternoons at Shadyside Mex! We took some of the best parts of Mad Mex and put a brunchy spin on it: Carnitas and Fried Egg Tacos, the classic Huevos Rancheros, Masa Pancakes, Chilaquiles and more! And Sunday brunch without a Sunday cocktail isn’t really a brunch at all. In fact, it’s not really a Sunday at all! So don’t be shy…get a Tequila Sunrise or a Mad Maria and let Mad Mex help you wind down your weekend!

Shadyside Brunch: Sundays 10 – 2

I’Rish I was on Jeopardy

Yeah, we’re Irish too.

Featured menu items: Los Fishos!

Spring and Easter are right around the corner! For those of you practicing mammal-free Fridays, look no further than Mad Mex. We have tasty features now through April 7 that leave our land-roaming friends alone and celebrate the sea-dwellers. Grilled and fried fish tacos are offered on our regular menu, of course, but we’ll hook you up (pun intended) with some additional dishes we put together for your pescatarian wishes. Our Chico Pobre Fish Wrap is our take on a Louisiana Po’ Boy with cornmeal-crusted tilapia with chipotle aioli, pickled jalapeños, pico and fresh cilantro. Then there’s our Mex Crab Dip: lump crab folded into cotija cheese, with roasted poblanos, cream cheese and scallions, and our fire-roasted tomato-chipotle salsa. Delicious!
