Latin American
North Scottsdale’s heart beats to a Latin drum at The Mission at Kierland Commons 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, sauces, 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. Plus save room for dessert including our pumpkin bread pudding or espresso churros.

    We have always loved The Mission but last night there were a few glitches. First, between the time they brought our water & the the server came to bring our drinks was a good 10 or 15 minutes with an additional 10 mins or so waiting for drinks to come. Then more time waiting to order. Didn't seem THAT busy so we were unclear as to the reason for the lack of attention to our table. We've always raved about the tableside guacamole there but this just wasn't made properly. It was chunky with way too much lime & too little salt. The roasted pork shoulder continues to be outstanding! Same for the street corn & poblano grits. The mixed drinks & dessert were all wonderful, too. There was enough wonderful in the food & drinks to keep up coming back to The Mission. Hopefully the service will improve & there will be some further instruction in making that guacamole. Such a gorgeous place that we really want to continue to thrive.

    Food & service were great -- as always. However, we requested a seat on the upper level, and we were seated in the back corner -- next to the bar. it was noisy & not very private.

    I’ve been to the mission a few times and every single time it is outstanding. They make the guacamole right at your table and it is phenomenal. I went there for an anniversary and the server brought out a surprise free dessert! I’ll always recommend this restaurant.

    My girlfriend and I went there for our one year anniversary. The same place we went on our first date. Our server was excellent. The food was very well priced for the quality. Highly recommend the chicken and cheesy rice. The ambience is very nice. the lighting is good music was a little loud. The guacamole dip is to die for. We definitely will be back. And for our anniversary they brought out a special little cake with a sparkler at no charge, which I was not expecting. I had been there before a few years prior and I never remember it being that good of food. They definitely are serving up some fire now.

    A wonderful dining experience. The made in front of you guacamole was seriously the best ever. We had the duck empanadas as the roasted corn. Oh yeah, the cocktails were delectable. Finally, the served us a complimentary Guatemalan chocolate dessert for an anniversary dinner. Overall excellent.

    The Mission is an all-time favorite, literally the first reservation I make whenever we are in Scottsdale. Food -superb; service- excellent. A little disappointed that they changed the tequila flights and they no longer allow you to build your own flight, nevertheless the tequila selection is great.

    I was very surprised by the lack of value for the money with our the meal. I feel the pricing of the food that you actually receive is absurd. Three 3 inch taco for $20 and $10 sides , rice and pinto beans $20 total, which by most standards would be single serve. So for two of us, we received 6 mini tacos, one order of rice and and one order of beans and it totaled $60. I will say the guacamole and the service was outstanding. I understand value, and I do not mind paying for good food, but The Mission… a bit ridiculous.

    The ambience was interesting. Nice open space but the crosses on every wall and the giant one (main focus of backdrop for the bar) was weird to say the least. Felt like we were dining in a church. The food was not as good as we had hoped. You can order tacos but then all the sides must be ordered separately. Not a bad thing if the tacos were of any substantial size. The actual taco corn tortillas that are made in house, are tiny! Bite size. If anyone is looking for solid tacos, this is not the place.

    Ladies night out. Our party had a staggered arrival but we never felt pressure to order or that we were taking up a table. The services was wonderful, we snacked on the guacamole made table side and chatted. A couple of us ask if the mahi mahi tacos could be grilled and the kitchen accommodated us. We had a wonderful meal in a beautiful restaurant. Thank you

    We had a great waitress name Chelsea, who was as good as there is here in Scottsdale from beginning to end. This is a great eclectic menu something for everybody don’t miss the corn, the guacamole, and probably one of the best kale salads in town with the best delicious chicken to go with it. The cocktails or super and just the whole atmosphere of the bar is amazing. Good night out in town.

    Ambiance is great! Service was ok very nice waiter but not very attentive on filling up drinks getting our order in etc-I actually had to track down the manager Side table Guacamole was just ok--person making it was telling us how hard the avocados were and had a hard time getting them out of the skin so I wasn't excited to taste it but it was ok not great I'd go back just to try it again but the shrimp tacos had way too much batter on them and they were so tiny(3) we had a hard time eating them --two of my friends used a fork and knife which isn't what you should be doing with a taco Nice inside but It doesn't deserve many stars
