A high-end, trendy restaurant with totally awesome food, but a little more dimly lit than ideal and really too noisy for comfortable conversation.

Classy, elegant, warm setting inside an old converted Mission Church. Simply Gorgeous throughout and as well on the patios (front & back). Mexican fusion. Very pricey. Try the fresh made guacamole!

The porchetta w/chorizo was amazing! It was fork tender, perfectly seasoned w/warm soft corn/flour tortillas. The entire staff were great, shout out to Greg our waiter! 🤗

Are you thirsty? Then you're in luck! They have a tron of great signature cocktails on their drink menu including a Moscow Mule made with homemade lime infused tequila. I'll drink to that. Cheers!

Get the guacamole. I'm not even a guac lover and I can't stop thinking about it! Mahi mahi tacos and blood orange marg is the way to go! Amazing service and friendliest management staff!

About as authentic Latin / Mexican you’ll find anywhere. The table-side guacamole is a must. If you are there on Sunday you can take advantage of the all you can eat pot tacos.
Valerie SchoenJanuary 27, 2017
A foodies paradise!!! One of THE BEST fine dining experiences of my life. So amazing other diners and myself had to loose our minds telling each other about what we got and even sharing tastes!

Remember where you are (near the border of Mexico), & order the tequila flights for your boys and then a colorful fruity drink for your man of the hour. He needs even a little more attention tonight. Read more

This place was excellent from start to finish. We had the tableside gauc - amazing! Must have it. I had the black bean tapata - outstanding. Sterling was our server and he was awesome as well!

The creamy blended avocado provides a silky base to the Aguacate Margarita. All that goodness is offset by a limey, sour nature so tasty that it's hard to tell that this is an alcoholic concoction. Read more

Make a reservation because this place is usually booked, and with good reason! Latin fusion cuisine and if you are a fan of tequila look no further! REALLY knowledgeable for an intimidating menu.
JJ LemieuxSeptember 12, 2022
Fantastic food overall. Even the stock salsa with the chips was the best. Guacamole at your table was fantastic. Highly recommend!
Liz MunnellyFebruary 29, 2020
Pulled Pork Tacos were delicious! Margarita was perfection. We had the table side guacamole, which was the best we had ever had, though at $14 a little steep...
Phoenix New TimesFebruary 17, 2014
Chef Matt Carter's The Mission offers a sophisticated Sunday brunch where the atmosphere perfectly complements the modern Mexican food. The two patios offer beautiful breezy brunch settings!
Jetset ExtraSeptember 3, 2013
There was one dish, however, worth going to the Mission for alone: the award-winning almejas al vapor, a Peruvian clam stew with rock shrimp and chorizo. Read more

The tableside guacamole is wonderful. Pick your level of “heat”. I recommend the tacos esp the skirt steak. Great range of margaritas.
Russ WakelinMarch 20, 2018
Don’t let the short lunch menu fool you. Everything is amazing. Brussel sprouts tacos were amazing as was the skirt steak tacos.
JamesMay 28, 2014
chips and guac, mahi tacos, street fries, sweet corn, corn gorditas, and for dessert, pumpkin bread pudding...... just be patient, theyre on a very lax pace out there....
John LumsdenAugust 10, 2021
B. Great dark Mexican atmosphere with good amount of authentic workers. Had skirt steak tacos. Good quality and authentic menu. Chips were an A.
Calyn JJune 28, 2013
First time here-Heidi was our server, and I don't think she could have done a better job. Excellent service, excellent food, and overall excellent experience. Would definitely return.
Michelle GabeNovember 5, 2020
Fish tacos and duck empanadas are unreal! Great service. Sit outside if you can, the patio is super cute. Inside is a little too dark.
Randy ClevengerDecember 7, 2017
Little pricey and the portions are small but the street corn, hand rolled short rib tacos, and pumpkin bread pudding were all excellent.
Viktoria DimplesAugust 6, 2014
Housemade tableside guacamole, mexican street corn, and kale salad was amazing! The brisket torta was a little too saucy for me!
Stephanie PenceSeptember 4, 2013
The scallop tacos are great! The table side guacamole is amazing! great street corn and bean purée! FANTASTIC ambiance! Expensive drinks!
Elizabeth BursteinMay 28, 2018
Mom had green chili duck confit - wow! I had chicken tacos. Also good!
Tonnina DaleyMarch 21, 2014
The Brunch on the weekends is awesome! The Cinnamon Waffles are like a Churro and a Horchata in one! The Guacamole is perfect!
Jenny GordonDecember 3, 2016
The handmade Guacamole is an experience not to miss. The Margaritas are off the tap and the Malbec Marinated Shortrib is unbelievable!
Marty O.April 22, 2023
Shrimp, pork shoulder, beef, or veggie tacos are good here. Get the table-side guacamole & you’ll be set
Phoenix New TimesAugust 13, 2014
If you're only going to knock back $15 cocktails, the atmosphere here is certainly dark and sexy enough to encourage lingering. Read more

Amazing food! The Sunday brunch pig out is phenomenal, with unlimited pork shoulder and carnitas tacos + fixins!
Bryan LeearApril 8, 2011
I loved this restaurant and sitting out on the beautiful outdoor patio. The guacamole is made fresh right in front of you...and has to be the best tasting guacamole I have ever had!
Gabe SumnerDecember 24, 2016
Malbec braised short ribs, street corn off the cob. Honestly, you probably can't go too wrong with anything on the menu.
Suzanne Gonzales-WebbSeptember 15, 2015
Flat iron steak, sweet corn (with a kick!!) delicious...scallops...ORDER the scallops. Cooked perfectly, amazing.
Teresa WJune 12, 2016
mahi mahi tacos, Kobe beef hot dog, table side guac plus a few cucumber jalapeño margaritas 👌🏼
BestOfDecember 9, 2011
We recommend you start with a blood orange or pomegranate margarita and an order of the guacamole, which is made tableside to your specifications and includes one of our crunchy favorites, pepitas. Read more
Jim IvinsOctober 22, 2019
The brussels sprout taco is probably top three one of my favorite tacos I’ve ever eaten
Matthew BreuerJune 7, 2019

Renée VargasMarch 2, 2018
A little pricey but awesome guacamole made at your table and a delicious selection of cocktails

Sit outside by the fire. Order the pork shoulder tacos, guac, chipotle honey grits, and corn! Amazing food.
Evie CosciaSeptember 2, 2016
Seriously expensive but ambiance, food and service are all outstanding. Guac is out of this world.

Awesome service and atmosphere! The tableside guac is great and the rock shrimp with yucca bread is to die for...also the best bloody (mission) mary ive had in a long time!
Lindsay JacobsJanuary 9, 2012
Been here 25+ times
My favorite spot in Old Town Scottsdale! The salsa and guac are delicious as is the blood orange margarita and the mahi mahi tacos!
Lorenzo MarreroMay 21, 2016

Scottsdale is beautiful. There are many great plces to eat, including Mission. It's not the best place for a business meal because the seating is cramped, but the food is great.
