What being “flexitarian” means to Mad Mex

We have always looked to serve all of our amigos no matter their dietary restrictions or lifestyle. Mad Mex believes everyone deserves to enjoy the taste of authentic Mexican food, which is why our "powered by plants" menu has highlighted all of our vegan choices. Since we care about serving healthy food made from real ingredients, that means we’re also interested in the environment. After all, you can’t make great natural food if the planet isn’t healthy. That’s why we are passionate about following a flexitarian lifestyle and we encourage our familia to follow suit when they eat at the best Mexican restaurant Brisbane has going.

While talking to QSR Media, Mad Mex boss Clovis Young explained his commitment to furthering a flexitarian lifestyle for our amigos.

"We’re going to do this for two years; we don’t believe that you can influence change in behavior over a one-month campaign. Or if you do, it’s just not meaningful," Clovis explained. "It costs us a bit of money – but we’re doing it because we think it’s critical that we encourage people, it’s part of our purpose to encourage people to live a big, honest, healthy life."

Flexitarian still allows you to enjoy meat

Eating tasty vegan meals is a choice for many of our amigos. Like all food, it’s a matter of preference if you enjoy it or not and Mad Mex isn’t advocating that everyone drops meat products to exclusively eat plant-based food. Look at our extensive menu and you will know that Mexican spices combine with meat in a fabulous way. Nothing is changing as far as our menu options go, and meat won’t be leaving the best Mexican restaurant in Brisbane.

We love the taste of meat just as much as our amigos, and that’s why we have worked tirelessly on our vegan dishes so that it still tastes great and authentic. In fact, many members of our familiacan’t tell the difference. We worked with Simplot to create our not-chicken chicken, and we’ve had plenty of our amigos ask if they got the wrong item since they’re sure they are having real meat at the best Mexican restaurant Brisbane.

With plant-based Mexican food that tastes this good and is full of bold flavour, there’s no reason not to give our vegan options a try. After all, it’s important that each and every one of us takes the needs of our planet seriously. We need to examine our dietary habits and see how we can help. One great option is the flexitarian diet since it allows us to still eat meat but cut back on our overall consumption by using alternatives.

Mad Mex knows that the flavour of meat is a mainstay of Mexican cuisine, which is why we have replicated it for our vegan meals. This way you can get that great taste while also helping the planet by ordering off of our "powered by plants" menu. We’ll never stop delivering Australia the best Mexican food possible and will continue innovating by making sure we add new dishes that live up to our high standard.
