About Us
MAD MEX
SO WHAT INSPIRES MAD MEX?
Freshness – Mexico grows so much fresh produce. It’s packed into every dish, piled high in the markets, sold on every street corner & there’s still enough to feed a monumental 70% of the US. So we use the freshest ingredients & our luchadors’ biceps prove what it takes to smash a 10kg crate of fresh avocados into guacamole each day, in every store.
Colour – It’s healthy to eat a rainbow, right? So we build our burritos with yellow, brown, black, red, white & several shades of green before you’ve even chosen your filling & salsas, just look inside & see!
Flavour – Feel like you’ve been hit around the head with a rosemary bush & half a tonne of peeved pot-roast? We make no apologies for the authentic taste of our 6 hour slow-cooked Carnitas, if it’s too much, try the chicken. It’s marinated overnight in chipotle & grilled fresh. If flavour is not your thing, try a cheese sandwich from the nearest service station.Vegan? No problemo? Food allergen? For sure!

In January 2007, Clovis Young had a vision; they saw it was time to give Australians the Mexican food they deserve… Fresh, fast, full of flavour and just a little bit funky, and so Mad Mex was born! Today Mad Mex’s quick service restaurants have customers queuing, landlords clamoring and competitors coveting their run-away success.

In 2012 James Tucker identified the popularity and explosive growth of Mexican QSR’s internationally and wanted to get in on the ground floor here in NZ. After numerous research trips and even considering establishing a brand from scratch, we stumbled upon Mad Mex. Obviously the market leader in Australia, and run by an awesome team of high-energy over-achievers, it was an easy decision to make to hitch our ride to their bandwagon. In March 2013 we opened out Lambton Square store in Wellington to long lines of enthusiastic customers and the rest is history.
