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.

    Drove from LA to AZ and dying for authentic Mexican food! Food is beyond amazing! Can’t emphasize it enough, my partner was impressed at the hand made tortillas and guacamole being made in front of you with your preferred spice level. As a Mexican, I approve this spot. Maybe people are much friendlier in AZ, but the staff is extremely friendly. Todd, our waiter, was awesome too and gave us honest recommendations. Only complaint is, when it got busy, we were forgotten and had to flag a different staff to bring our check. I still rate this place 5 stars!

    Review for The Mission in Scottsdale Our experience was underwhelming. The menu itself had only a few options, yet instead of highlighting any specialties, the server only mentioned what they had run out of—something we found surprising given the limited selection. You’d think with a smaller menu, they’d be better prepared to keep items available. My friend ordered the **mahi tacos**, which unfortunately had very dry fish. I went with the **steak tacos**, and while they had decent flavor, the portion size was disappointing—both of us left still feeling hungry. The best part of the meal was actually the **Caesar salad dressing**, which had great flavor, but that alone wasn’t enough to make up for the rest of the experience. Overall, we were not impressed. Between the limited menu, the kitchen running out of items, and the small, unsatisfying portions, it’s not a place we’d rush back to. There are plenty of other great spots in Scottsdale that offer better food and value.

    The Mission was once again a delight! The service team was excellent, the dishes were elegantly simple, delicious, and elevated, and I was even able to add a lovely zero proof cocktail into the mix. Parking is always busy in the Kierland area, so leave a few minutes to find a spot and leisurely walk to the restaurant if you do not want to valet.

    Wasn’t impressed with the all you can eat tacos. The meat was very dry. Table side guacamole was amazing though and so were the drinks!

    The street corn is fabulous. Lovely place with great service. We went for brunch but my husband said next time he’d prefer the dinner menu.

    The bartender, Scott, was exceptional and made us cocktails that we enjoyed. After reviewing the cocktail menu we did not like, he suggested other cocktails for our palate. In the past, we have always had delicious cocktails here. Our server, Dani, was very friendly and offered good service. The shrimp starter tasted great but was a bit overcooked. The rice was quite good, but we found the porchetta on the rich and fatty side.

    I made a reservation at The Mission for our Valentine's Day celebration with my wife, but it turned out to be a terrible experience. Despite our repeated requests to be seated indoors, we were placed outside in the cold, uncomfortable weather. My wife could barely finish her meal because she was freezing in her dress. The service was equally disappointing. The staff showed no concern for customers' needs, remained stone-faced, and lacked any sense of hospitality. At this price point, I expected a much better experience. I definitely will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant--especially if you're planning a special occasion. Food: 3/5 Service: 2/5
