Come here for the churros. The tacos are amazing and the empanadas are bomb, but omg the churros are amazing. We got one order after tacos, had a taste, and immediately ordered another serving of the churros.Oh, did I mention everything (food wise) is completely gluten free??On the topic of tacos, we had the mahi-mahi and the short rib. The mahi was absolutely delicious, plus gluten free fried fish is rare so it’s definitely a must get. The short rib was over cooked and forgettable. We will be back to try the other options.Oh, try the empanadas too!

Were sat at a coffee table when we made a reservation that we literally had to sit on the floor to eat our food otherwise we would be hunched over. We ordered 2 spicy marg pitchers with casamigos that were $230 alone!!! The margs were warm and undrinkable. We spent over $500 to eat our meal on the floor. Included automatic 20% gratuity that resulted in $80 tip when the bulk of the bill was the margaritas. We asked for a new table the host gave us an attitude and refused to reseat us although we had a reservation and when we expressed how we felt about our dining experience no one cared or tried to rectify the situation. The food was also absolutely mediocre just not worth it all.

Absolutely amazing food! Great margs. Good vibes. And steps from other hot spots in center city. Love going to Mission!

Yesterday my sister and I did Cinco de Mayo the right way! We started here at Mission and everything was perfecto! Of course we made reservations which were honored even though we were a little late. Our waiter was quick and super friendly. Plus it’s beautiful inside. Check out my photos below.

Yummy food and drinks, great atmosphere, and very good service. We both love the shrimp tacos more than brisket tacos. Ceviche was nice with a good mix of seafood.

Went to mission, wait was long (1.5hr) place was busy. Main concern was the service. The waitress was inattentive and had to ask any passerby for basic stuff. When it came to the bill the gratuity was included at 20%. Was rather annoyed since I would not have tipped that high for that level of service. Will be going to El Vez from now on instead.

One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Made a reservation a week in advance for 2 people. When we got there, we were seated at a corner of a large cafeteria-style table (clearly meant for larger groups) even though there were regular 2-person tables available. This was a little strange but we were whatever about it. There was no place to put our jackets so I placed it on a stool beside mine. At the time there was NO ONE else at the table. About halfway through our meal, a girl came over and asked me to remove my jacket off the stool as they were going to seat a large party there. She offered to put my jacket in another room in the meantime. Again, a little strange but sure whatever. By the time we were going to leave, this “large table” was still nowhere to be found. Last but not least, they add a MANDATORY 20% tip. This would be completely fine except the service and overall dining experience was just awful and this was just the cherry on top. The food by the way was good but a little overpriced and not the best tacos I have had. I think this place would be better off as a bar. Definitely not a good date spot.

Unexpectedly great experience. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Food and drinks are exceptionally awesome. Good place to start your evening / night / weekend.... Cheers ??

Amazing carnitas and mahi mahi tacos and very good Mezcal mule ???I definitely recommend it.

Best Mexican I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere, the drinks, the food, the service, all AMAZING.Will absolutely come back.
