Latin American
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.

    This was our first experience at the Mission. We loved it. Food and service was excellent and the ambience was warm and intimate (Darkly Lit). It is pricey, but well worth it. Check out the beautiful church next door!

    This restaurant offers some unique food choices including tableside guacamole preparation. Our group tried several excellent taco choices, a fantastic eggs benedict and the Peruvian soup. This is the best value in Scottsdale and there are fantastic inside and patio seating options. Waitstaff is wonderful with a shout out to Natalie who took excellent care of us two days in a row. You cannot find a better value for food or more attentive service in the area

    The food was fantastic but there aren't enough servers for the number of tables and the tables are much so close together that it's uncomfortable and distracting. In fact, this is the closest I have ever seen tables at any restaurant, anywhere.

    Phenomenal doesn't even begin to describe the experience we had! Everything from the moment we arrived to the time we left was perfect. Our server was awesome and was spot on with every recommendation. The portions are deceiving in the best way possible. We had three courses with what first appears to be a modest portion per plate, but we still ended up with leftovers! The hibiscus margarita is as incredible as advertised. Can't wait to go back!

    What a fantastic spot! Excellent service, quality of food and fun atmosphere…and parking ease helped too. Get the table side guacamole…so worth it. The tacos are the perfect portion. I could have had a few more of their Mules…but we will save that for next time!

    We are visiting from out of state and saw several recommendations that we needed to try this restaurant and that we needed to make reservations. We did make reservations and we were seated immediately. Our server was really good -- helped with recommendations. The made to order guacamole is delicious. We each had three taco plates. VERY surprised by how tiny the tortillas are but after all the chips, guacamole and salsa, they did not need to be bigger. I loved my steak tacos, we were a little surprised that the mahi was deep fried in those tacos and not served another way. Definitely think the restaurant should consider a combo plate -- where you can choose three different tacos. No room for dessert, but we each had a fun cocktail. Lots of guests and lots of workers -- definitely great service.

    An incredible romantic vibe even during the lunch hour. We reserved here for my wife's birthday and we're impressed by the atmosphere, food, and service! Table-side guac is the best way to get the meal started. Large portion for the cubano torta and surprisingly filling brusself sprout tacos. Both meals were incredible! Topped off the meal with a delicious pumpkin bread pudding and ice cream!
