We went to the Mission really early around 5:00 because we had heard it was hard to get a table. We did not have a wait and sat outside on the patio. Our server was Derrick and we said he had worked at the place since itd. He was extremely helpful and new the menu well. We tried a...

A friend and I went to the Mission on a Saturday night to celebrate her 40th birthday. We were expecting a sophisticated, lively, delicious dinner (based on its glowing reviews), but this place is a cheesy 20-something hipster scene with mediocre food. The decible level was extremely high (probably from the packed bar), and we had to scream to hear...

Definitely make reservations as this is a popular restaurant. We saw the fresh made guacamole at the table and said we had to try it, it wasn't all that which was disappointing. The skirt steak tacos were ridiculous I could have ate a dozen. I only wish that you could mix and match tacos as they all looked so good....

We visit on a Sunday without a reservation. The restaurant was fairly busy when we arrive, but there were several empty tables. We waited at the bar and found that Sunday is terrific day to select as the bottles of wine were half price. When a table was ready the restaurant was half empty, but perhaps they were sending staff...

Hard to find - next to the Adobe Mission in Old Scottsdale which was closed - but well worth it. We went based on Trip Advisor ratings and they were dead on. We sat outside in the courtyard and got to see what others were eating and drinking before we made our choices (peripheral vision helps with this). Well presented...

Happened upon this restaurant and then noticed it was on my Tripadvisor list later !!! It was cool and dark , out of the hot sun with beautiful decor. We were greeted with smiles and hellos the minute we walked in. Out waitress Heidi was friendly and inobtrusive. I wanted a Margarita and she suggested the "house". Some places want...

This restaurant came highly recommended to us during our stay at the Phoenician in April 2009. We liked it so much we visited again during our trip in 2010. The dark atmosphere is perfect for those hot desert nights as is their impressive Tequila selection. The waitstaff is very attentive but not to the point of being pushy in order...

Dont get me wrong the food is good but for the price and amount not worth it. Its more of a trendy upscale mexican food so if you are looking for traditional more reasonably priced mexican tacos jalisco is the way to go. Service was excellent. This is a restraunt for people who dont mind blowing tons of cash on...

The mission is a great restaurant for families and large groups. It has a bar scene, romance. (GET THE PORK SHOULDER TACOS! TO DIE FOR!)
