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.

    We stopped by around 3:00 PM, so the menu was a bit limited due to the transition between lunch and dinner. Even so, we all found something we enjoyed, and the options available were still well-rounded. The service was exceptionally friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was lovely. We’ll definitely be adding this spot to our list of favorites. And one more thing—don’t hesitate on the tableside guacamole. Just say yes!

    This restaurant just never disappoints. The waitstaff is excellent (friendly engaging and efficient). Drinks are great (bothering the white and red sangria were delish). The kale salad with salmon was really excellent. Flavorful salad with citrus and loaded with Marcona almonds and the salmon was cokes perfectly. My guests both had the duck empanada (they didn’t know what that was so the googled it and a description popped up and at the end of the summary, it said quite popular at The Mission in Scottsdalé. Thé prices are reasonable and even tho it was really hot and indoor seating was booked up, the back patio was very pleasant with the cooling fan. Go!!!

    Excellent table side guacamole. Margaritas are made with fresh juices. Tacos are top notch. The main plates are good but probably not worth the price point. Skip the sides.
