Great place for an experience after work with light but flavorful tapas and refreshing cocktails. Don’t be shy to ask for recommendations and suggestions!

This restaurant is amazing! From the hostess greeting us warmly, to our food runners who were passionate about the food they served; , and our waiter, Sagif, who made our anniversary so special by his attentiveness and thoughtful attention to detail throughout the evening, we couldn’t have been more satisfied and happy. We will be back!

Amazing restaurant. The food, the ambiance, the service and esthetics were great. Tye parking was a bit tricky as the public parking was so jammed and I had to go through the larking and around block to figure out valet was my option. Besides that a fantastic date spot.

A group of us descended upon this interesting restaurant on a Sunday. The menu choices were unique and very tasty. We all shared numerous dishes and the whole group was impressed. Most of what we sampled is what I would call “light” food with modest portions. Try the octopus - pulpo.

Came here to catch up with a good friend and it was absolutely amazing from service to food. Our server, I believe his name was Steven was very patient with us and informative. He was also very helpful and cautious with my gluten allergy. Will definitely be back when I’m in town. I have no complaints

Coolest restaurant in Houston by far!! A dining experience like no other! The manchego coulant is to die for

we had a standout experience at MAD for a celebratory birthday dinner! The food, atmosphere and service were top-notch and we were thrilled with our dining experience. we opted for the Astronaut Experience where the servers select the menu for you, a twist on the pre-set tasting menu. They ask if there's anything particularly of interest to you on the menu and if there are any dietary restrictions and take your feedback as they course out the meal. The standard is $150/person, however, they will tailor it to your price point if you ask! The final bill is based on what has been brought out, and ours came out under the price point we requested. We tried a total of 11 dishes - wagyu crisp, bone marrow + caviar, ultimate croquetas, jamon iberico with pan con tomate, manchego cheese, bravas tomas, cochinillo iberico, pulpo, gambas al ajillo, shishito peppers, and the coulant de manchego for dessert. We also tried the "welcome cocktail" (a surprising bite with a Manhattan inside!) and the Mad shot "curiosity shot." Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Our favorite pinxtos were the wagyu crisp (flambéed tableside, complex flavor of the grilled veggies) and the croquetas. The flavor of the aioli on the patatas bravas was delicious. We had high expectations for the bone marrow and caviar bite but the flavors were a little lost, mostly tasting like hash brown. The bread (pan de cristal con tomate) with the jamon iberico is made in Spain by an 87 year old lady named Lupita! The octopus was the perfect texture - tender and flavorful. The manchego molten lava cheesecake (coulant) was a surprising and delicious savory-sweet end to the night! The best dish hands-down was the cochinillo iberico - succulent suckling pig with crispy skin but juicy meat, served with the perfect set of accoutrements to enhance the flavors. Our waiter Alex was attentive and kind, explained each dish thoughtfully and most importantly, curated a phenomenal meal. We were stuffed and had plenty of leftovers to take home. The beauty of this was the gift of not making decisions, trusting that everything that was offered would be delicious. They also made us feel incredibly celebrated for the special occasion with extra moments and a celebration dessert! The restaurant is modern and sleek, bustling without being noisy, and beautifully decorated. We would love to return!

This place is super vibey! If you're looking to have a unique experience for your tastebuds, date night or even girl's night out, this is your place. Make sure you dress to impress, this is not the kind place you go in your everyday casual clothes! I've had dinner at MAD twice and it never disappoints.... The food and service is exceptional and the drinks are top tier. My boyfriend and I always have a great time. On your first visit I recommend getting a few tapas and sharing! This way you can get a feel for the menu. Also don't forget to ask for their award winning dessert!

What an experience! Straight from Madrid... the food was exquisite! The customer service was great and the ambiance was eccentric and lively. If you're looking for something different, then this is a great spot. It's going to cost you (see receipt)... but, it's worth every penny. My only complaint is going to be the seating arrangement. The space where we were seated was a section cramming 4 tables within 3 feet of one another. I think they should eliminate at least one of those tables to give the couples eating a little more space. We could literally hear everything thing said by the coupe next to us. Other than that... a great experience. The huevos voladores were truly the highlight of the evening!

Bae and I had a date night. He picked the place and said he had been there once before. Seeing as though I was missing Miami, he said this would be the perfect place. As we entered, I was impressed by the ambiance and decoration, very vibey. We were seated in a small booth towards the back. I started off with a glass of the Raventos de Nit Cava Rose, subtle and bubbly. My partner had the Watermelon mocktail - and said it was delicious. My partner knew I was doing a review so we decided to try a little of everything. For appetizers, we started with the Bravas Tomas, Empanadillas, Steak Tartare, Rabo de Wagyu, and Grilled Shrimp Al Ajilio. The Bravas Tomas was filling and savory. The empanadillas were decent - lacking flavor but crispy. The Steak Tartare was made so intricately - I loved the display of it and the fact that it was made with edible potato paper was so cool, the taste was nothing memorable. The Rabo de Wagyu was absolutely delicious. The grilled shrimp al Ajilio came out steaming and hot but I think they were old because they smelled a bit funny and were overcooked - rubbery to taste. Before we even ordered appetizers, we had decided on our entrees after tasting the appetizers, I was like no. Let's share something because I definitely wanted dessert. We ended up getting the Valencia Arroz with the Shishito Peppers. The waiter asked if we wanted it for one or two people, my partner said one. Initially, I was like um, I don't know about that. But when it came out, there was no way one person could eat this. It was the perfect thing to share with two people. The rice was okay, I felt it was slightly undercooked, but maybe that's just how it comes. The showstopper was the chicken - literally juicy and delicious! The shishito peppers were delicious as well, I loved the seasoning they put on them! A couple next to us got the dessert-tasting menu, so we asked them what their favorites were. They said get the Huevos Voladores. We decided to also get the Praline Bar, because who doesn't like chocolate and peanut butter? When the Huevos Voladores came out, it was presented by the server "Tito" - the way he described the dish was amazing. Honestly, I wish he would've been our server because our server was less attentive. The Huevos Voladores came and left no crumbs, such a delicious dish! The Praline Bar was not my favorite but the mango sorbet that came with the dish paired perfectly with the Huevos Voladores. I would come back for the drinks, the ambiance, and the Valencia Arroz, Shishito Peppers, and Huevos Voladores.
