DINING OUT RESTAURANT REVIEW: Mad Tacos is not an attempt at authentic Mexican food. Owner Jonathan Phillips serves what he calls East Coast tacos – including, from left, a black bean taco, beer-battered cod taco and pulled pork taco. They mirror the Americanized West Coast taco consumed in beach areas along the Southern California coast. Located in the Madison County town of Nelson, about five minutes east of Cazenovia, the converted house has an extremely casual vibe, is it worth a visit? Read our review. (Jared Paventi photo)

Nelson, N.Y. — Fresh Mexican chorizo is a tough find at local restaurants and grocers but appears across the menu at Mad Tacos in Nelson. The crumbled sausage adds layers of flavor throughout the menu with flavors that were equal parts smokey, spicy and fatty.
It serves as the star of the chorizo burrito ($12), marrying together with roasted corn and quinoa, grated cotija cheese, Monterey jack cheese, pickled onions and chipotle aioli. The chorizo brought a spicy punch that was balanced by tangy acidity from the pickled onions. The aioli amplified the sausage’s smoke. The large, well-stuffed burrito was somewhat uneven in its flavors, with pockets of it missing some flavors, but this item shined when you got a little bit of everything when biting in.
