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.Apps we got the chips and salsa and queso chorizo dip, those were pretty good too! The chips are like freshly made, real nice touch.FYI tacos are al a carte and will come out family style, meaning you buy tacos at set price and they'll all come out in a big tray together.We didn't try but there is also burritos and tortas

Flavor profiles sounded amazing, but the tasted mediocre.Tried the fish taco, the chorizo, and the shrimp.The chorizo was by far the most flavorful taco of the three.Small and lacking in flavor, really not worth the almost 4 dollars a taco.

Parking was a little difficult to figure out cause I was new to the area, we got a spot right out front but it’s on a street so I think there’s a garage we drove past. Food was AMAZING! Recipes were very original and tasted homemade. I was expecting a fast serve taco place given the minimal info my friend gave me but I highly recommend stopping for lunch here! Good food and our waitress was nice

All I can say is YUM!! Get out of your comfort zone and try the bacon taco. It's one of the best things I've ever eaten. The fried chicken taco is excellent too. The beer cocktails are good and so is the craft beer selection. I had the jalapeno margarita and it was excellent. Enjoy!

Decent food with even better drinks. The zombie tiki drink was really tasty and strong. Among the three tacos I had, the fried chicken was easily the best. The pork taco was good but not great. I would recommend against getting the carne asada taco, I found it pretty boring. I found the texture of the corn tortillas to be off.Overall, for the price, I'd recommend coming here mostly for the drinks and skipping out on the food.

Atmosphere: It’s very loud, spacing is a little tight but seems cozy. The tables are a nice bright wood (I’m a fan)“Brah-ito” review: With some very nice cooked pulled pork, this beast of a burrito had some delicious melty cheese. And had everything blended perfectly together. 10/10Waiters: 10/10!! The waitress was checking up on us fairly frequently which I highly appreciate. She was super sweet and brought good vibes and energy. Love the positivity in the workers!

Their tacos are incredible. Margaritas are great! Do yourself a favor and get a mezcal marg and a BLT taco. I recommend trying 3 different ones. Two is enough but 3 will definitely fill you up. Tacos are around 3.50 which is an amazing deal.

This was by far the worse experience I’ve had here. Gave 2 stars for food. Never saw our server and when we did see him, he would act put out and wasn’t very friendly. He did not remember our orders and kept asking us what we had. He didn’t look that busy, maybe just an off day. If this was my first time going I would never come back after today.

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.

I had an amazing experience! Thank you for that! I've been here several times and want to write a true review now! My table shared the Carne asada Fries and Queso. But don't worry for those of you who like just chips and salsa that's also on the app menu!! My first time I ever ate here I tried the BBQ duck taco, definitely different but full of flavor. If you're a chicken fan the Hot Fried Chicken and the Grilled Chicken tacos are delicious as well! The second time I came here to Misson I tried the South Beach burrito and I loved it! My date had a fantastic time eating the tortas! He tried the Chipotle Chicken and Chile Relleno tortas! They do have a kids menu. I also love the flavors of the street corn! If you have room for dessert, try the churros. Also there is vegetarian and vegan options so don't shy away if you are vegetarian or vegan Margarita! Margarita drinks that I like are the Mezcal Marg and the tough love marg. Their sangria is definitely worth trying. The pineapple dto is another one of my favorites. They also have Mexican coke and jarritos for those of you who like them! Aguas Frescas are worth asking about! Every time I come here I have a wonderful experience. Absolutely love this place
