Mad Dog and Beans Mexican Cantina in Midtown is a festive spot for your Mexican fix. Look for margaritas made with fresh-squeezed juices, and guacamole & chips made to order. Other dishes include Mexican hot wings, chimichangas, tortillas soup, chiles rellenos and Shrimp Alambre; garlic-marinated shrimp with serrano and poblano peppers, onion and tomato served with a tomatillo sauce. And, of course, there is an assortment of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas and fajitas. Grilled Mexican corm with chipotle mayo, chili powder and queso fresco is also available. Or, take on a 100 ounce Mad Dog Margarita Tower that serves 10 glasses.
