The Mission Old Town

The food was wonderful, with large portions! We split the Shaved Kale Salad, and they brought out what looked like two full-size servings of salad. Service was great. We never felt rushed. The main dining area is very loud. Outside dining was much quieter. The outside dining in the back of the restaurant was much cooler than the front (east facing?). Reservations required.

Service was a bit slower than expected but overall a really great experience. The guac is top tier, I was going to order the corn and the server immediately made me change my mind and I don’t regret switching. You can tell the fresh preparation in all of the food. I’d definitely come back again when visiting Arizona.

We're from Austria in Europe and visited The Mission on our trip through the southwestern United States in our rented RV. We were quickly and easily assigned a table, and the friendly, smiling server immediately asked us what we wanted to drink and promptly brought water and the wine we ordered. The specialty, which most people eat here, is the guacamole. It's prepared at the table by a staff member and tastes delicious. A visit is definitely worth it; highly recommended. Klaus & Karin

Too knotch dining! When I travel to Scottsdale I never miss an opportunity to eat here! Alfonso or Fonz really loves the menu. Follow his recommendations. He is passionate about the food here and was spot on in everything he suggested. We loved it. Sampled about 6 different items. Desert! Get the pumpkin bread pudding! Even if you don’t like pumpkin! It’s heavenly!! We had the best experience. I hadn’t been her in about 5 years and it was JUST as good and consistent as I remembered! Can’t wait to return!

**Google Maps Review for The Mission Restaurant, Scottsdale** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently had lunch at The Mission in Scottsdale and enjoyed a very nice dining experience. Located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, it’s a great spot with plenty of free parking available in the area, making it convenient to visit. The decor blends rustic charm with modern elements, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the perfect backdrop for a meal. One of the highlights was the table-side guacamole, expertly prepared right in front of us and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed some fantastic cocktails that paired well with our dishes. The food was delicious, featuring a Latin-themed menu that is elevated by the chef's French training, offering a unique twist on traditional flavors. The ambiance was great, making it a lovely place to relax and enjoy a meal. Reservations are suggested, especially for dinner, as it can get busy. Overall, The Mission provides good service, a cozy setting, and a memorable dining experience. If you're in Scottsdale, it's definitely worth a visit!

We’re in town visiting and we got two separate recommendations to go here! Well worth it! We had the street corn (AMAZING), skirt steak tacos, and guacamole. We got complementary chips and salsa, a nice surprise! All was fresh and I left feeling full but not greasy and gross. The best part was the attentive and kind service. All requests were met and our server was fantastic. Next time we’re in town, we will be back!

Alfonso was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly friendly. He gave us wonderful recommendations, and every dish he suggested was a hit! You can tell he truly knows the menu inside and out, and his enthusiasm made our meal even more enjoyable. The food itself was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite was a delight, and we left feeling completely satisfied.

Fantastic meal - the star of the meal is actually the tortillas. Our group got the pork shoulder and the wagyu pastrami tacos and those were among our favorites there - the pork shoulder was a little sweet but it paired so well with the tortillas. The tacos had a perfect Mexican Asian fusion and came together super cohesively. We didn’t care for the empanadas or the street corn, and the duck fried rice was average but pretty good, it just didn’t work in the menu here. We ordered one of every dessert on the menu, and while the corn cheesecake was not actually a cheesecake, the pumpkin dessert with scotch was the party’s clear favorite. All in all, good ambiance and some dishes are a hit (anything that comes with corn tortillas)

Here is the Phoenix area for a couple of days. Found this restaurant based on Yelp reviews. The setting in Old Town is charming. Everything is in bloom right now. The menu is extensive and creative. Our server, Sara H was phenomenal. We followed her recommendations and had an amazing meal. The Porchetta was the star of the meal. Get a side of flour tortillas for sure. And if Sara is your server, she will make sure you have a memorable meal. 5 stars all the way

Five Stars - A Must-Visit Spot in Old Town! We had an incredible dining experience at The Mission in Old Town, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Alfonso. From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He made fantastic recommendations, and we went with one of his top picks--it did not disappoint! The dish came out quickly, beautifully plated, and absolutely bursting with flavor. You can tell the kitchen here knows what they're doing. Alfonso's great energy and spot-on suggestions made the whole experience even better. If you're visiting, definitely ask for him--he'll steer you right. The food, the service, the vibe--everything was top-tier. We'll be back for sure!

Arrived off the plane in old town Scottsdale . We stumbled on this place they call the mission . Mexican fusion !! Ok let's give it a try . Upon entering the place it is very dark and your eyes have to adjust so be aware . It was approaching triple digits outside so inside was a no brainer . The brunch ( all you can eat ) pig bar 18.99 some interesting things on that bar . We We ordered the avocado and chips for the table . This is a must see !! Made in front of you right at the table . I would come back just for that show ! So as a table we ordered a few things so everyone could try . Carne asada tacos we great Cheese rice is a pass as it was too creamy and dense . Corn was excellent and flavorful. Had a few drinks from the bar and loved the red Sangria, very refreshing. Once again the pork bar was interesting as the look on the kids faces told it all . Place was kind of pricey as we did have a big group with us . All in all it was a good vibe inside once my eyes adjusted . Will return for the guacamole show

The Mission" is what my wife Raina and I call one of our go-to restaurants in town -- and for good reason. Everything about this place is top-notch -- from the drinks and appetizers to the main courses. The atmosphere is first class and always delivers a great experience. My usual? The short rib tacos and a Cadillac margarita. And don't skip the guacamole -- it's incredible. And with my wheat allergy, I really appreciate that they offer plenty of gluten-free options without compromising flavor. Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot that checks all the boxes.

Always come to the mission every time I'm in town. Came here in 2011 for the first time and just love it. Food is always good, drinks great. It's dark and romantic inside. And always crowded Menu is always changing so always a new experience. Had a few apps including the duck empanada and chicken thighs. Empanada was huge and very good. Thighs were amazing, so juicy and delicious Got a selection of tacos including crab meat, mahi mahi, wagyu pastrami and chicken. Crab meat was the best of the bunch. It was so unique I can't describe it. Mahi was very good too. Pastrami was just ok, didn't love it Drinks here are always good. We got the prickly pear margarita and it was so yummy Only complaint is the tables are so packed together, if they took 1 out would make so much difference. Hate having the person next to me drag their butt on my drink whenever they go in and out of the table

Not at all what I expected. The ribeye steak was good, as well as the bread pudding for dessert. Everything else was totally not recommended. Pork shoulder- drowned in a sweet sauce. Homemade tortillas- didn't taste homemade at all. The churros- slightly, burnt, taste to them. The service wasn't that great either. They completely forgot my appetizer and didn't offer to comp me for anything. Then, they brought out the dessert without clearing all our dirty plates. I was skeptical about coming to this place, because I had a gut feeling it was going to be like one of those fusion places where they try so hard to be unique, but just end up serving mediocre food that is only great to people that have no taste. Sorry, but I wont be back and I will be sure to tell everyone that recommended this place that they're nuts. Also, I didn't take any pictures, it was hella dark in there.

Well... I wanted to like this place, but they didn't deliver. The food was ok, just ok. Extremely mid level Mexican food, the steak was good. The restaurant is nice, but it's so dark people were using cellphone flashlights to read the menu. They brought us our dessert without taking all our dirty dishes. It was too expensive for what we got. Perhaps the other location is better.

Love The Mission in Old Town Scottsdale. It's our go to restaurant when in that area. CS is always top notch, as is the Food and Drinks. Restaurant is extremely clean and the Ambiance is marvelou.

I was in Phoenix/Scottsdale for to celebrate my birthday this year and we came to The Mission for our last dinner. Since we were a larger group, we did the coursed family style meal with the preset menu. Everything was delicious, and the drinks were really good. Loved the shaved kale salad and the mahi mahi tacos! Our service was good, and we had we finished off the meal with churros (though we were honestly too full after everything that came out!). It's a really cool atmosphere and the interior decor is reminiscent of the church next door.

We had been to the Kierland location a few times in the past when we were in the area. We absolutely loved it! We're staying at The Phoenician and this location was closer. I made sure our favorite menu item was on there and made a reservation. Our Uber driver was telling us how much better this location was. I beg to differ. This location was so much louder and the service wasn't nearly as good. But the food? It was just as good! This location is also so dark that most of the people we saw were using the flashlights on their phones in order to read the menu. If it's that dark, they need to turn the lights up a bit. We felt rushed. We got our entree before we even got our cocktails. I get it. It's Friday night and they want to shove as many people through there as possible. But it wasn't enjoyable. The place was very busy! When we left, there were a lot of people standing outside waiting for tables. I'd go back again because of the roasted pork shoulder. We get it every time and I can't recommend it enough!

This was our first stop on a wine your. We had a red wine sangria. We also got chips and salsa and a taco, which was all really delicious!

Im visiting from out of town and this place was highly recommended. Not sure why. The atmosphere is quite nice, but that is about it. They had a limited menu when we went 3-5pm so that was disappointing, but is what it is. I noticed their guac was $16 so figured something must be great about it. Nope. You are paying for the guac to be made right in front of you. I would rather have you make it in the kitchen and charge me $6. The skirt steak taco, the meat was cooked nicely, but it really had no flavor other than that and the slice of avocado was rubbery. The service i noticed right away something would be wrong because the ppl next to us must have been waiting a while and when they got their food it was the wrong order. The customer was nice and said it was fine unless it would be quick to make his correct order. Nope no way so he said its ok. Nice of him. Now my order, yup it came out wrong, but the waiter quickly noticed and took it back which i guess was nice? They did not wait on you and see if you needed watef etc so when i saw him again i quickly asked for thr check and boxes to not wait and btw the place was basically empty so what the heck are they doing?

Amazing food, we especially loved the seafood soup and guacamole. I loved my short rib taco as well. On top of amazing food the service was 10/10

Been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally got the chance to. I got the prickly pear mocktail. It was good. Also got the table side guac. It was good but felt like it could be better. I got medium hot maybe next time I will get hot. Also got complimentary chips and salsa. It was delicious. Got the skirt steak tacos. They are tiny but so good. Also got the rice as a side. Thought it would be red/orange rice but it was white. Had an interesting taste. The patio was nice and they had a heater and a fire place. Service was good. The place inside looked nice too.

Went here with my fiancé for dinner. Food was great! I loved the fresh guac made table side. The staff was amazing! I have some severe food allergies and staff took extra precaution. Lots of great flavors and textures! I had the Duck Empanadas and Linz Reserve Filet. If you're not into different textures you may not like the grits but the flow goes were great! Fiancé got the Chorizo Porchetta and it was delicious! Great cocktails too!

One of the best dining experiences to date. Had reservations at The Mission for my bachelorette dinner. We arrived and waiting for our table. We grabbed drinks again the bar. The margaritas were phenomenal. The table took a while to be ready. They apologized. We didn't mind waiting at the bar. Once seated, we ordered chips and guac. Very fresh! Made table side by the staff! I split tacos with my cousin. They were served on a salt block. So cool! For dessert, we ordered one, but three came out! The staff gifted us due to the wait and it being my bachelorette. They were very kind! Loved the meal from start to finish! Would come back here again for sure.

Walking in you can smell, hear and see an inviting space. The restaurant offers 3 different rooms for dining. A casual outside patio as you enter the restaurant, an elegant interior, that I view as more intimate dining and the back patio that is upscale and casual at the same time. We started with chip salsa with Cadillac margaritas. I ordered the shrimp tacos and my partner ordered the mahi mahi tacos. Both were delicious, but we both liked the mahi mahi tacos more. Our server was attentive and engaging. Definitely a good spot for lunch or dinner!

First, the good: The restaurant is relatively small, dark and attractive. It has a limited about of bar and patio seating. It could have some very nice, romantic ambiance if it wasn't so crowded and loud. The service was impeccable. Some of the best I've ever had at any restaurant. Our waiter was attentive, personable and knew every menu item, what was in it, and how it was prepared. I was impressed. The food was beautifully presented, and every dish was excellent. Flavors were top notch. We shared the Wild Sea Of Cortez Shrimp Anticuchos appetizer, and were very impressed. I had the Chorizo Porchetta, and she had the Dry Pack Scallops. Sides were roasted potatoes, and chorizo grits. Everything was tasty and beautifully presented. Absolutely no complaints with the food. The bad: I'll never understand why upscale restaurants do a shrimp appetizer with only three shrimp. It ruins the appetizer for a couple. While the overall price wasn't bad ($180 for two drinks, an appetizer, two entrees, two sides and a dessert), I thought $55 for three scallops was far too high. But what completely ruined the overall experience for us was the noise level. The restaurant plays LOUD pop dance muic. Everyone has to raise their voice, and quiet conversation is impossible. Add to that the tables are packed so closely together you're literally bumping elbows with your neighbor, any sense of a pleasant, quiet, romantic dinner is gone. I would love to make this a regular spot, as the food and level of service are some of the best I've ever experienced. However, the crowded table setup and unnecessarily loud music will have The Mission Old Town crossed off my list. What a pity.

I say, While I can see what others may have enjoyed out of this establishment, I was less than impressed with my experience. The food is overly expensive, the menu is confusing, and the service was dreadful. I may be a Lord, but even I can admit that not everything needs to be gregarious. Traditional Mexcian fare is splendid the way it is and does not require any modification, gentrification, or cross-cultural pollination. In my humble opinion, save your time and money and explore one of the countless more authentic and reasonably prices establishments. Rated 3 stars out of fairness and the opinions of others in my party. Unweighted score would be 2/5 Poor form, not very sporting

Best table side made Guacamole I've ever had. Ambiance is nice, can be noisy. Service was good, very nice people.

The place is a little loud but food is to die for. Friendly staff, great drinks and amazing food.

I've been to the Mission in Old Town quite a few times, often in combination by taking international friends and families, colleagues and friends coming to Scottsdale. Food has historically always been relatively good, and as a family we loved to go for brunch. Recently though, and especially today, service, as well as the quality of food had significantly declined. Sure, the chips on my chair from a previous guest, or there fact that the bench that my guests were sitting on was wet was just a minor issue. The slowness in taking our order, the fact that it took 15 minutes from sitting down to seeing a server and place an order is also a minor service issue. As I asked the host what was off with service, she sent over a manager, which I didn't really ask for, I just wanted to understand what happened The manager apologized for the table being dirty, which we hadn't even noticed, and claimed that I must be confused about the fact that they offer chips and salsa to their guests, even before they take their order. In her words: "In 16 years we have never offered chips and salsa unless the guests order the $18 table side guacamole (which I had before, but none of my guests today would like) As I explained to her, "at any occasion that I have been here, we had chips and salsa, complimentary like you read in some reviews here, even recalling a visit with an Australian colleague months ago", and often times we ordered the tableside to go with it. Other tables had chips and salsa too, so I am not sure what she was trying to tell us. As our lunch items came out, my guests rated the salad with chicken as average, my daughter's steak tacos were very dry, and I was looking forward to enjoy the Peruvian clam stew, rock shrimp, chorizo, aji amarillo, known as Almejas Al Vapor. As it was served it looked like it had swerved across the 101 loop before it got to our table and had 2 clams, 2.5 shrimp and 2 pieces of chorizo in it, with overall appearance and taste not that appetizing. As we nearly completed our meal, server came over, slapped the bill on the table with the words "Whenever you feel ready" . So I pulled out my credit card and put it in, and it took yet another 10 minutes for it to be collected. As I am not going to blame the server for potentially having an "off day" we still added $19 and change to our $88 and change bill to make it a round $108, so I guess we tipped relatively ok for service received, while we potentially could have been upsold to dessert if asked for. What actually bothers me the most is that the manager lied to me about the overall price experience and her claim that in 16 years they never offered any chips and salsa to their guests is false! Sure we did get chips and salsa, but it doesn't take away from their lack of integrity that they likely had a service issue or the overall dining experience has changed and they no longer offer it. So I am sorry to say Mission Old Town, after some great experiences throughout the years, and some minor challenges, I can't get past being lied to, and will take my business elsewhere when touring local or visiting guests around.

Mackenzie was a fantastic waitress. Her recommendations were spot on! Don't let the sometimes weird food descriptions turn you off... the combinations are fantastic. Trust her. Good portion sizes, great atmosphere, close to bars and shops of Old Scottsdale. -Jeff W

This venue is beautiful - historic and charming! The chandeliers throughout the restaurant offer a very romantic vibe. Our waiter was cool and knowledgeable of the menu items. For starters, we had the tableside guacamole, which wasn't tableside, per se, but I did see the gentleman making it in the corner of the dining room. I liked that you could customize heat levels. We also ordered the beef skewers and it was the most decadent and flavorful piece of meat!! Must order! For our entrees, we ordered the skirt steak tacos and salmon. I highly recommend the Salmon, the skin was perfectly crisp yet tender and flavorful on the inside. The skirt steak looked delicious although they might consider larger tortillas compared to meat ratio. For dessert, they treated us to a pumpkin bread pudding - AMAZING - for my birthday. It was a nice send-off. 10/10 experience!

Food- really good Service- great service Ambiance- tight, loud but enjoyed the traditional vibe

Nice ambiance on the back patio. The drinks and chips and salsa were great. Looking forward to coming back to try the food.

I met some friends for dinner at The Mission and parking was easy l, which was nice. The Vibe was nice with music playing in the background. It's very dark inside which makes it difficult to read the menu but managed with out phones flashlights, yet it is on the more upscale side and also has a patio. It's very nice The Service was very good. The spicy cucumber margaritas were not that spicy, but the server gave us some ghost pepper sauce to add to our drinks, which made them perfect Tableside guacamole and chips were very good. We had mahi-mahi tacos, steak tacos, and pork shoulder tacos. I gotta say the mahi-mahi tacos were my favorite and very flavorful. Steak tacos were kind of bland as were the pork tacos. Just not very well seasoned in my opinion but still good

Great evening at the bar watching basketball and having cocktails and dinner. Service was wonderful. The restaurant is beautiful and the guacamole was the best I've ever had. Butternut squash tacos were amazing.

We had a big group of 10 and tried to get a reservation - unfortunately they could not accommodate a large group but said they would try to put us near each other so I will acknowledge this as a caveat. When we got there, unsurprisingly, they could not seat us together and instead had a group of 4 on a regular table and a group of 6 (incl me) nearby on high tops with the same server. The high tops were not really that comfortable (a bit awkward for seating) - it was by the bar with a circular table combined with a longer rectangular table. There was a noticeable difference in pace of service - smaller group got chips and salsa before we did, they got their mains before we got our guac and they were paying and leaving before we got our mains. Really unfortunate - would really not recommend larger groups here. Our server did try to make it up to us and I think he comped us chips and salsa (?) and sent us home with extra warm chips with our leftovers haha. We got guac and ended up getting two for our group of 6 (they're $16.50 each oof), with one mild and one medium. It's actually a decent amount of guac in each, but we couldn't tell the difference in spiciness between the two. We got an assortment of drinks as well - the michelada mix was pretty tasty! As for food, I got the creekstone fillet ($54) which was very well cooked - the Oaxacan glaze was sweeter than I expected and the sweetness would probably prevent me from ordering it again. A coworker got the duck fried rice which they said was really good too. Another got tacos and the main complaint was that the tortillas were too smaller to properly pick up and eat as tacos. Overall, still good, slightly soured by the mismatch in timing between the two groups.

The Mission is an upscale Mexican restaurant located next to/in a church in Old Town Scottsdale. They have a decent sized menu with a lot of different options. When I usually come here, I get their tacos because they are light and always taste great. I'm not usually a big fan of fish tacos but their mahi mahi tacos are delicious. We also go their chicken and steak tacos and they were great as well. I think they probably have the best tacos in the Old Town area but they are a bit more on the pricey side. I've had their other entrees as well like their chorizo porchetta and 18 oz Ribeye which have been great as well but I love their tacos. They also have a pretty decent size drink menu and a wide variety of tequilas. The staff are always great and super attentive and I would definitely recommend this place for a date night. Just make sure if you're going on a weekend that you have reservations because they get filled up pretty quick. If you do want to wait, they are located next to a couple of really cool cocktail bars so you could always grab a drink while you wait.

Awesome service! Food was presented and served in a timely manner. The shishito dish was amazing! It was a great romantic Valentine dinner. Will definitely be back.

I LOVE Mexican food - like, LOVE IT. Born and raised in Southern California, I consider Mexican food to be my native food since it's everywhere and it's delicious! Was in Scottsdale for work and had the opportunity to enjoy Mission Old Town. Did not disappoint! Had a large group but we were well cared for and the food came out timely and hot! The staff was friendly and professional, fast and considerate (especially considering the size of my group). The food was authentic and amazing. Beans were fresh and flavorful (not the bland, like warm-reheated beans you get at chains). The beef o ordered was seasoned very well and cooked to juicy perfection. Not a single complaint from my group of 15+ people. Excellent service and excellent food! Can't get better than that! Highly recommend!

Dark and comfortable describes the ambiance - very chill. The house margarita is the best I've had, made with a touch of egg white. We shared the pork roast "make your own tacos", very flavorful. We also had the guacamole which is made at your table- so so fresh. Love The Mission!

The Mission is a bit hidden place in the Old Town Scottsdale. It has a small outdoor front patio, as well as indoor section and covered backdoor patio. Friendly service and tasty food. The menu is relatively simple, but very interesting with a fusion, higher end Mexican touch. Guacamole was freshly prepared at the table to perfection, and you can select the incredients. Slow cooked pork taco for two was amazing, and easily sufficient for three.

I was lucky enough to try this place when I was in town. The food, service, ambience are all on point. Our sever was very knowledgeable and attentive. A true professional. The food was excellent. Some highlights were the steak tacos and table side guac. Ambience is dark and romantic. Definitely give it a shot if you are in town

Green chilaquiles are a must here. We came here as a large group of 9 and sat outside. Our servers were sweet and did jot rush us at all. I didnt have any coctails but some in the group did and they all looked really good & refreshing. My dude had the chorizo scramble but wasnt a big fan, luckily my green chilaquiles came in a large portion and we were able to share.

A bit over hyped here....menu is a bit limited and slightly expensive. The music was club thumping and bit loud, really didn't fit the ambiance and Mexican motiff. Chips and salsa were very good. The guacamole was over stuffed with cilantro, onions, cheese and not much avocado. Was good but may suggest not adding all the goodies. Rice and beans were $12 bucks each and VERY small - almost an individual serving. Service was good. Food quality and taste were solid but nothing over the top or original. Pricey for what you get.

I had the pleasure of grabbing lunch at Mission today. It was a very nice experience, we had about 6 people dining in our party. We got a couple of appetizers and tacos. Everything was delicious. Drinks are also great!

Decided to try this place on Saturday night without a reservation. We arrived at 4pm and was able to get a table right away. Menu during this time was limited to appetizers and tacos. It took over 5 minutes for our server to come to the table and when he did he was pleasant. We ordered tabel side guacamole which was kind of bland and Mexican street corn. The Mexican street corn had a little more flavor. For drinks I had the rose briar which was a cross between and old fashion and mojito. My date had tequila. They do have an extensive tequila assortment.

Food was unusually expensive, but so unique I had to give it try. Glad I did. Peruvian soup quite amazing. Sad they charge $6.00 for chips. Service by McKenzie was exemplary!! She suggested things that I loved. Ambiance was very dark and cozy on a hot day!! I'll be back.

My workmate and I were in Scottsdale for a conference and stopped here our last night on the way to the desert botanical garden. We didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar. The atmosphere at the bar and throughout the restaurant had great local flare without being 'tacky touristy.' I had a duck empanada and a bowl of pozole. The empanada was delicious. I'm freakishly obsessed with pozole. The pozole was ridiculously delicious with hints of smoke and flavors that could only be developed by cooking for many hours, the best I've ever had!

The experience was pleasant and the food was delicious! We sat in the patio area which was pretty comfortable in October. The service was great , the server was attentive, funny and friendly. The food was fresh, and definitely took my taste buds for a joy ride to goodness land. The taco were meaty , juicy and most importantly tasty!!!! The table side guacamole was delicious- it's a must try.

This was my first visit here after living in Arizona for 2 years. We had the table side Guacamole which was excellent and the presentation was on point. My friend had the beef short ribs tacos and I had the braised pork shoulder with a pineapple glaze. They were both delicious. Will be coming here again and again. The service was top notch as well.

Me and my co workers stopped here on a food tour. Walking in, you can tell this is a cool hangout spot with a touch of elegance for people who are looking to relax after a long work day. The service was was really good. Our food came out fast. They had everything prepared based on our dietary restrictions. I had the butternut squash taco. It was nice and flavorful. I also had the margarita. I could not taste any alcohol in it which could be a good or bad thing. I only had one, so I can't say. Either way, nothing but good vibes here so I highly recommend this spot.

I came here based on a recommendation. I looked up reviews beforehand, and there was so much to choose from. The atmosphere of this place was great. It was buzzing. You can see the salt walls in the interior of the place. Of course, I had to order a drink, which was the Grapefruit Rose Mule. It was really good. I tried the rib eye, and that was very tender. The guacamole and street corn were just alright as I've had better elsewhere. The Peruvian duck fried rice, I would recommend. Overall, I think there should've been better service at this restaurant.

Amazing vibe (the music, the decor, the people having good time), great services (the hostess, the servers, the bartenders welcoming you with smile), and great foods and drinks. I been there 3X so far, one for Christmas dinner (holiday vacation), one for lunch (in town to visit a friend),, and one for quick bite since I got 5hrs layover at the airport (just hop into uber instead hanging out at the airport or lounge). Great location right at the heart of Scottsdale old town that you can stroll around prior or after with many shops and others plus the old Mission is right next door (very unique). The foods are fresh, flavorful and well presented. They even prepare it right in-front for your entertainment and you can input of what you want into the foods. Small but big enough to fill you up. The drinks are fantastic, they are great of making you favorite drinks (sometimes you just have that ones of your). Kudos to the entire staff, definitely will be back whenever I'm in town.

Had always wanted to come here and was finally able to stop by with a group of 8 last night. Every single dish was amazing. I would come back for sure. The service was great as well. My favorites were the fish tacos, the chips and guac, the chicken, and the corn

My husband made a reservation at The Mission for our Valentine's Day celebration, but it turned out to be a terrible experience. Despite our repeated requests to be seated indoors, we were placed outside in the cold, uncomfortable weather. I could barely finish my meal because I was freezing in my dress. The service was equally disappointing. The staff showed no concern for customers' needs, remained stone-faced, and lacked any sense of hospitality. At this price point, I expected a much better experience. I definitely will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant--especially if you're planning a special occasion. Food: 3/5 Service: 2/5

Interesting vibe - very dark inside and brighter back patio seating. Loved that the back patio had a little open area exposing the sky, but there was a giant 6ft dusty fan next to our table that was a complete eyesore. Dined with 9. Table side guacamole was fantastic- loved the pepitas. Ordered the Paloma - it tasted watered down. Ordered the filet and added mushrooms. For some reason that addition meant that I didn't get the grits or green beans. We didn't get our entrees until 8pm (reservation began at 6pm) and I was too tired to ask the waitress what happened to the rest of my meal. The filet was good though. See picture.
