About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Food, service, cocktails were all very good. BUT the noise level ruined the evening. We asked for the quietest seating( the patio) but even so one had to almost yell to talk to their dining partner. The area was not full, but the music( awful and unrelenting) was cranked up throughout the restaurant.

    Really solid Mexican with a great environment in Downtown Scottsdale. Guacamole was solid as well as all you can eat pastor. Eggs Benedict and chipotle grits were lovely.

    Artfully mastered plate presentations, sadly the lighting is so low that you cannot appreciate the visual of the food. Bring your flashlight it is always pitch black

    The food was outstanding and the portions more than sufficient. The salmon entree was perfectly prepared and among the best I’ve had. Our server, Sarah, was outstanding and added to the experience.
