    If you want to feel like you’re dining on the dance floor of a night club, this is the place for you. Having a conversation with anyone at your table is nearly impossible because of how loud the music is. Everything else was decent, but not spectacular. Definitely more of a place for a younger 20s crowd. I wouldn’t go back purely because of the noise.

    Decent American mexican food. There are plenty of options for all different diets. Service is great - food comes out fast and the servers are on top of it. It can get a bit loud but a great dining experience with good food.

    I was so incredibly loud inside, we couldn’t hear the people at our own table. It made the experience uncomfortable and unpleasant. We probably won’t return, which is disappointing because the food and drinks were great.

    The food and margaritas were spectacular! The restaurant was busy, so I was not seated until 30 minutes after my reservation and service was slow though friendly. It was hard to hear anyone speak because the music was blaring, but the music selection was good, at least! I enjoyed my experience overall and would come back.

    Was promptly told after an hour of being at Mission that they were closing down the servers for the night at 10:30 on a Saturday night and that we would have to go to the bar to order anything else. Everything else was fine but I would make sure to come earlier.

    Absolutely love Mission but this was the first time sitting inside. Went on a date just for drinks so couldn’t experience the food that much. We unfortunately got moved from inside to outside because they were accommodating a larger party but they provided delicious churros to make up for it

    This is a place to go to drink margaritas with a group of friends. There's no other reason to go, honestly. Unbelievable point: no coffee or tea or even iced tea! Even though they are open for brunch.

    Service was fine but my burrito tasted like there were bits of bone in it (maybe the rice was too hard). Wish the mimosas came in a carafe instead of a plastic pitcher too; that the employee discount were bigger for bottomless; and that they had a sweet brunch option (e.g. French toast). Overall fine

    The nachos are amazing, would definitely recommend. Can get pretty loud so I wouldn’t go for a first date. The hibiscus marg and dupont margs are so good! I had made a reservation ahead of time and had to wait a past my reservation time to actually get seated but it was a busy Friday night so the place was packed.

    I don’t know how I didn’t discover this restaurant sooner. It’s a gem. Really good Mexican food - great chips and salsa. I tried three different tacos - shrimp, fish and mushroom and they were all excellent. Others has fajitas (two chicken and on shrimp) said they were delicious. Really good corn tortillas. The staff was incredible- super helpful host staff and amazing wait staff. Can’t wait to go back.

    The food was not very good at all. I had the chilaquiles which didnt have any flavor and the tortilla chips immediately turned into mush. My friend had the breakfast burrito and he couldn't even finish it. The margaritas were ok put pricy for how small it was. There are many other places with much better Mexican food. I will not be going there again.

    Excellent service. The waiter, Josh, was very attentive and kind. We mentioned an allergy to an ingredient listed for a dish and the manager delivered the dish to assure us the food was prepared sans allergen. Overall, the food was good and happy hour specials on the weekend is a bonus.
