Mad Mex South Melbourne

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu (GF icon) and include Naked Burrito Bowls, Nachos, Tacos (hard corn shell), Corn Chips & Guac, and all meat fillings. The kitchen is shared — flour tortillas are used for burritos and quesadillas — and the venue is not dedicated gluten-free. Staff are reported to be knowledgeable and willing to change gloves, but cross-contamination risk is acknowledged by the chain's FindMeGlutenFree listing which states it 'is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility'. Multiple branch reviews confirm staff training but also note that gloves are not always changed automatically.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Vegan items are clearly marked on the menu (V icon) and include Naked Burrito, Nachos, Tacos, Veggie Veracruz and Mexicali Mince fillings, all salsas, guacamole, taquitos, and corn chips. The kitchen is shared with non-vegan ingredients (meat, cheese, sour cream). No independent reviews specifically discuss vegan safety. The menu marking is strong, but cross-contamination risk is present.
