About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Hot spot
Old Town Scottsdale’s heart beats to a Latin drum at The Mission where renowned Chef Matt Carter (Zinc Bistro and Fat Ox) brings a modern twist to Latin cuisine blending influences from Spain, Mexico, Central America and South America.

Sip a signature margarita with unique flavors such as cucumber jalepeno or aguacate (yes, we said avocado) as you watch your Tableside Guacamole made to your taste from more than a dozen fresh ingredients.

Home made tortillas, and salsas are made fresh daily to accompany an assortment of meats and seafood prepared on a Plancha or a grill using pecan and mesquite wood that instills a rich flavor. And save room for dessert including our pumpkin bread pudding or expresso churros.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Matt Carter

From the OpenTable editors: You know a chef is a big deal when they win a lifetime achievement award from the Arizona Restaurant Association, like chef Matt Carter did in 2024 for his contributions to furthering Arizona's culinary culture. At The Mission, Carter takes broad inspiration from the Americas with dishes like handmade tortillas, freshly smashed salsas, and tableside guacamole from the molcajete cart that showcase the gorgeous local bounty.

    The food, ambiance, and service were fantastic!!! A must visit if you're in Scottsdale. Sarah, our server, had great recommendations and if you go you must try the chorizo porchetta with a side of their fantastic corn tortillas. Best tortilla I've ever had and I'm not a corn tortilla person. Some of the best food I've had while traveling and definitely will be back!

    We traveled in from Ohio and always stop at Mission for a great family dinner. Margaritas and guacamole are truly the best.

    Restaurant is very dark inside (lighting) and noisy at peak times. The food, beverages and service were excellent. Would recommend.

    The location and deco are perfect. Apps and drinks were delish. That table service guacamole so good. Only slight complaint was our server was stretched really thin so it took a bit to get our drinks….never could get a second cocktail and we sat with our dirty plates for 20 minutes or so before she removed them and got out check. She was sweet though and when everything else was so good…I fell bad complaining at all.
