¡Comamos! Mad Mex is opening a new location this April, bringing California-Mexican fare to Shadyside.
"We've always wanted to do a Mad Mex in this part of town. Oakland is great--it's the first and the heart and soul of Mad Mex, but it's tiny," says Bill Fuller, executive chef at
Big Burrito Restaurant Group.
As the seventh location in the Pittsburgh area (and the tenth overall), it is the first
Mad Mex to feature a mezzanine, private party rooms and valet parking. With
Moss Architects of East Liberty heading up the design, the architecture focuses on steel, wood and art. One unique feature is the Hufcor bi-fold door, which will open the restaurant to the street during nice weather.
Mad Mex Shadyside is also currently
hiring. They are looking to fill back-of-house positions, such as cooks, but they are also looking to fill some server positions.
Serving wholesome California-Mexican food, Mad Mex offers a variety of dishes. From burritos and enchiladas to wings and vegetarian options, anyone can find a satisfying meal. "Mad Mex is a really fun place to get something to eat and some cocktails, and it's also not a bad place to grab a meal with the kids. We feel like this part of town is great for all that," adds Fuller.
The South Highland Avenue location is set to open April 11. It will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
