Very clean, cool vibes, guests are welcome to stick stickers (on metal surfaces). The food is fantastic! Poblano salsa is always served up, and they rotate the hot salsa between 4 varieties.

Went here after a local recommended it and we were sadly disappointed. We ordered the queso, 5 tacos, rice and beans. The pros: the beans were flavorful and the service was quick and good upon arrival. My partner’s fish taco was okay. The cons: my Carne asada taco had two tiny dog food sized pieces of steak covered in arugula and no flavor. The pork taco (recommended by the server) was flavorless. The queso was melted Velveeta or some other gross cheese product that wasn’t cheese. I would have said something at the restaurant but nobody came back until we were ready for our bill. Not a place I’d recommend unfortunately.

Not going back. Literally everything was spicy. Nothing could be altered to fit my specifications cause I couldn’t eat Nothing spicy. The waitress kept telling us that she loved everything but that she has a high tolerance for spicy things. So she couldn’t help us. The tables were dirty and hadn’t been wiped down. And took them forever to get our order. What I ordered she said wasn’t to spicy, but I still couldn’t eat it. Was not a very inviting environment

Nice place but overpriced. Mission Taco is modern, and customers looked the same. The service was a bit slow and prices are too high for what you get. The tacos are small, as are the burritos. We were charged the full price for a refill of guac and chips, even though we only requested a refill of guac. “Chips don’t cost extra” – waiter… but we weren’t given the chips along with the guac. The food is decently good, but not exceptional.

This was a good taco joint. The tacos weren’t my favorite, but to be fair I’m used to street tacos and I guess this are a little more ‘upscale’. My favorite was the habenero shrimp The street corn and cilantro rice were my favorite by far. The refried beans were also pretty good.

The food is overpriced, our food was undercooked, had absolutely no flavor, and our server made us feel very uncomfortable because she was very awkward with us.

Mission taco joint has great margaritas and a nice variety of tacos. If you’re adventurous, give the duck taco a try. The hot chicken taco is hands down my favorite. If you like spicy, the Tough Love is the way to go. The only reason I give them a 4-star review instead of a 5-star is their chips and salsa. I’m not a big fan of the chip density or the salsa flavor; which I guess is a good thing because they are not complimentary.

My husband and I went here for a date and it was lovely. We were served by Madi, who went above and beyond to give us wonderful customer service. She was so incredibly thoughtful and it really made our night. We had such a great time and their churros were so delicious. We will definitely be making this a new date spot ❤️
