CLOVIS YOUNG, MAD MEX FOUNDER & HEAD HONCHO, TELLS HOW MEX GOT MAD!
I grew up in San Diego but our best family holidays were always in Baja – the small peninsular of California that’s actually in Mexico.
The food was delicious – so fresh & clean. After surfing we would devour grilled steak and fresh pico de gallo rolled into burritos and smothered with salsa – the hotter the better. We’d go fishing and cook up tacos on an open beach fire. I love eating Mexican food, the flavours, the spice, the heat and love cooking it more. I dreamed, for years of opening my own Mexican restaurant to share that Baja style burritos are amongst the best food in the world.
We opened the first restaurant in Australia because the outdoor lifestyle reminded me of Baja. It had that sense of “la familia”, everyone was welcoming and relaxed. Our food is made to authentic Mexican recipes, using authentic Mexican products. We are committed to serving the best flavours and freshest quality produce that you can roll into a burrito. And more than just food we want to share the vibe and sounds of Mexico in our restaurants.
