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.

Known for its lively atmosphere, standout dishes include "tableside guacamole" and duck empanadas. While the ambience is "inviting," it can be "very dark" and "loud," making outdoor seating a quieter option.

He was polite until we asked about gluten free options and then was very unhelpful. We ordered the famous guacamole which was very good but when he delivered it he told us the salsa has soy sauce in it so it’s not gluten free. That would have been helpful to know before we ordered. He ignored us another 40 minutes without taking our order. Our drinks were empty, the guacamole was long since empty so we flagged down a host for the bill before ordering entrees and decided to go eat somewhere else.

Nice service, somewhat slow as all nights are busy at the Mission. Good food, but overpriced for what you get. Tasty cocktails but again quite pricey.

When the food was served, I couldn't see what I was eating. The wait staff was excellent but I will never go back to this place. There are dozens of restaurants in the area where you can actually see what is on the table. Just to clarify, we were in the center of the restaurant, not in a corner. The whole place was dark except at the bart.

Also, we had a reservation and noted it was a birthday which was acknowledged by the host however our server never even asked if we wanted dessert. We were excited to surprise our birthday girl with your lovely birthday sparkler presentation.
