I will definitely be back to try different tacos and Mac and cheese was delicious with the pork belly as a topping.

Food was soggy and service was very slow. Can’t believe I wasted my time waiting for food that wasn’t worth it. Won’t be here again any time soon.

Perfectly fine but nothing noteworthy, seasoning on the chicken and beef was quite bland but the toppings were okay. Service was alright. Unfortunately this is far from the best tacos I’ve ever had but not terrible
Restaurant:
1. Food: Good food and some fun taco flavors, def recommend the pot roast taco. Just beware, if it’s a greasy meat it’s going to be, bc our chorizo was good but it was so greasy it leaked through the plate and on my leg, so that’s why 4 not 5 stars.
2. People: Nice people
3. Timing: Quick service for Sat. Lunch
4. Price: $12 for 3 tacos didn’t seem nuts to me
5. Facility: very nice porch and eating in areas, just a little close to route 20, but really didn’t notice it bc it’s not a crazy busy route.
My wife and I took a spur of the moment trip into Cazenovia. After, we decided to see some friends in New Hartford. It was after noon and we hadn’t eaten, so we decided to correct that and look for good food. She found Mad Tacos on Google Maps. It had fairly good ratings, so we figured we’d give them a try. It’s a cute little bar with some indoor and outdoor seating. We looked over the menu and picked what we thought would be quite tasty. I have never had a problem admitting when I’m wrong. Yes, I was very wrong. The sodas were handed to us in lukewarm cans. No offer for a glass with ice. I’m sure the bartender had to feel how not cold they were. Anyway, we sat and waited for our food.
The first to arrive were the chips and salsa, which we had to order. The name of the place is Mad Tacos. Every “Mexican” joint I’ve ever been to has offered complimentary chips and salsa. Even if this place did, I still would have been angry. The chips were super salty dollar store version of Walmart tortilla chips. The salsa tasted like chunky water - it had no taste. None!
Then, suspiciously quickly, our food arrived. We were so ready for something that tasted better. Well, we’re still waiting for that. The beef had the look of taco beef with the seasoning on it, but it had no flavor except that of plain hamburger. No spice whatsoever. Ketchup would have been spicier than this food. Most restaurants have some sort of condiments at the table. Ours, and looking around, every other table had napkins and some form of playing cards. Not even salt or pepper. Nothing in sight to doctor our meal.
We just quickly ate our food, swallowed our tears of disappointment, and left never to return. The one thing we can agree on is the name. Mad Tacos is appropriate as I assume, people with actual taste leave mad for spending so much money for a terrible meal.

Food is very bland… Beef tasted like it has zero seasoning. No sauces on tables to rectify this. Soda was warm. Chips were not restaurant style - just generic store brand… we left disappointed. ☹️
My husband and I decided we wanted to try a “hidden gem” type spot for lunch while in the area, and the “overall” rating for this restaurant drew us in. Plus, who doesn’t love good tacos?
The many reviews at the top from people stating “best tacos ever” make me sad, because that means those people have clearly never had good tacos.
While the person behind the bar and taking orders was friendly, and the service was quick, the positives end there.
1. The drinks - soda in a can that came from a fridge were far from cold. Ok… no big deal.
I ordered 3 of the “OG” beef tacos, husband got a beef taco salad and we also got a side of chips and salsa. The chips tasted like off-brand Tostitos and the salsa had almost no flavor.
The meat, despite looking seasoned, had absolutely no seasoning or spice level whatsoever.
We could have overlooked this as we realize everyone has different preferences for spicy-ness. HOWEVER…
There was no hot sauces or even salt and pepper anywhere in sight to make the food more flavorful.
We ate our food due to not wanting to waste the money and being hungry. We don’t mind paying for good food, but $35 for three small flavorless tacos the salad, chips and salsa (which would normally be complimentary) and two warm sodas seems steep…
We left pretty disappointed and confused as to what all the hype is about.
The food and service were amazing, but you have to wait for them. The beer was exceptional.
Great burritos and amazing margaritas! This place is not to be missed. We will be back, hopefully soon!
Great tacos; rainy night; always a good place for a good meal
