Toronto, Canada residents who enjoy cooking Mexican cuisine are already quite familiar with the Mad Mexican brand of guacamole, salsas, sauces and dips, which can be found on store shelves around Canada's largest city. The brand became well-known thanks to the success of the Mad Mexican restaurants.
Owner Jose Hadad has since decided to get two worlds to collide by opening a Mad Mexican restaurant where people can not only dine and enjoy quality Mexican cuisine, but can also purchase various Mad Mexican products to take home.
Customers are invited to sit on stools while dining and gazing wistfully at the refrigerated shelves showing off salsas and guacamole for sale. Customers can even peek at the kitchen, where cooks can be seen cooking away while jiving to upbeat Latin tunes.
