I have been in the Midland area for a few months and have been less than impressed with finding a good Tex-Mex restaurant that tastes more like the food from home. La Mision did not disappoint. The atmosphere was an unexpected delight. The salsa was an awesome rendition of fresh ingredients with just enough heat. The fajitas were amazing and the refried beans, which I usually skip over, could be their own dip. This place has become a go to restaurant after getting done on location. read more

I've been craving Mexican food for a while now and ended up at this restaurant! While I was not impressed with their queso (nacho cheese sauce), We did enjoy the rest of our food. My stepbrother found his Asado which is hard to come by sometimes, he loved it. My husband finished his whole plate. I had the combination fajitas which so happened to be the special that day, it was great! Would go again, nice waitress. read more

Service was unwelcoming food was salty tea tasted like someone dumped chew into pitcher asked for water and it tasted like tap. We got our food but no silver wear waited to see if anyone would notice NOPE waved someone down to bring us some I'll never go back read more

A big local favorite but I cannot explain why. Service is always good but the food is barely average in a region filled with great Tex-Mex. Greasy, overcheesed and very forgetable. Unfortunately many of our family members drag us there. Taco Villa or even Rosa's would be better. Mabe I'd like it better if I drank more. Before I got there. read more

Had the lunch buffet! Plenty of options to choose from like fajitas, enchiladas, quesadillas, all the sides, lil Mexican beignets with cinnamon and brown sugar with honey to top it off! All for $9.75 can't beat that. read more

La Mision - Mexican Near Me - Midland, Texas

See all

Best buffet I've had in Midland. The food was very fresh, service great and a pleasant atmosphere. Music wasn't too loud. Homemade salsa and tortillas. Thumbs up to La Mision. Good value. read more

This was one of my favourite restaurants to eat at. I have come back several times and the service has been really bad and the food has gone down in quality. I will not come back nor will i recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Nice atmosphere, good service (which is not something one often says about Midland establishments), and mid-range dishes. Amazing and spicy salsa. Horchata is not to be missed. Enchiladas were so-so, very bready tortillas. Taco salad was of the 4 ingredient variety (lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, ground beef): simply and fresh enough, though rather uninteresting. read more

I had not eaten here in a while but some friends invited me to join them here recently. We had the lunch buffet. There were enchiladas, beans & rice, quesadillas, sopaipillas etc. Not outstanding but not bad. Enchiladas were good, there were types with red and green sauce. Quesadillas were a little burned. Service was polite but they didn't refill drinks as often as they should have. read more

Great place to eat an have a beer!! Have great waitresses an bartender. Awesome buffet too read more

La Mision - Bar at la mision - Mexican Near Me - Midland, Texas

This is our third time here, and these are my observations. Margaritas so tart with mix it made my esophagus burn to the high heavens and they are inconsistent as to how much tequila they put in them, so they are average at best. And apparently, they like salt here. Their salsa is WAY too salty. I mean, mouth puckering, kidney failing salty. I know this is just my opinion, but guys....tone the salt down. The food on the other hand is very good. hasn't crossed into the realms of great but it is a solid GOOD food spot. Pork tacos are delicious and the Relleno was excellent. Good service. A solid, go to spot for the Midland Odessa area. Just bring your dialysis machine if you want to eat the salsa. read more

Chips are stale and salsa is pretty salty but everything else was fantastic INCLUDING our service. I've been here once a week this month for the lunch buffet and haven't been disappointed. It's legit. Give it a try read more

Like Rosa's but more expensive and not as good. If you like below average Tex Mex this is the place for you.

I was craving Mexican food and decided to give one of Midland's many local choices a try. I saw this impressive building and said "Why not?" Turns out, the building, atmosphere, and decor is the best this place has to offer. I was seated promptly but waited quite a bit before my waitress showed up. Another waiter/bussboy put down chips and salsa (without saying a word) on my table before my waitress ever came. I was nearly done with my first basket of chips before my drink order was taken. There is little coordination between the wait staff as multiple waiters/waitresses passed without asking if someone had taken my drink order, etc. Once I did order my drink (water) the waitress forgot the lemons I had requested. Now on to the food. I ordered queso to start off. The queso reminded me of the stuff you buy in the big tin cans or concession style. Not very impressed. Also wasn't the warmest and was quite thick. The chips weren't great either. Semi stale and cold. For my main meal I ordered Berta's Plate. It was two beef chile relanos, rice, beans, guacamole and two flour tortillas. The beef was very greasy and unflavored. The whole plate was lacking spices in general. Needed salt and spicy. Too bad my table didn't have a salt shaker. Anyway, wasn't impressed with this place. At least I know where not to go from now on. Cool building though. read more

Our waitress was super nice and professional/friendly. I used to come here years ago and still do when I get the chance. The food is always a good portion and extremely flavorful and cooked well. The sweet tea is delicious and they add so much flavor into their sauces. This will always be one of my favorite Mexican food joints. Highly vote you check it out when around town. It won't disappoint read more

Good place to eat food was great chips have room for improvement The service left me wanting read more

This is, without a doubt, my favorite Mexican restaurant in Midland and Odessa. Their beans are delicious and the chicken fajitas are excellent, too. I eat here about once a week and I have never been disappointed. The owner and staff are always welcoming. read more

The fajitas are some of the best in town. However, the owner has chosen to decrease the salsa bowls to something akin to espresso cups. Since the employees are terrified of her, they dare not bring larger bowls upon request. Sadly, the owner doesn't care. Far too much hubris to bend to the customers requests. So, after ~25-years, we made our last trip to La Mision. read more

Food was ok - not the greatest we've tasted. Food prep was fast but horrid service. If you want service with an attitude- this is the place. Our waitress in no way was helpful. This was our fist time and attitude when asked what she would recommend. Will not come again. read more

This is such a wonderful place! I used to come here on lunch breaks while working in the south part of Midland, back when I still lived there a year ago. It had nice decor & a great atmosphere. Quiet & peaceful, but enough lighting to read. Usually not a problem with waiting for restrooms (1-seater), & they were kept clean. I had some favorite vegetarian-friendly plates. I don't remember the official names listed on the menu, but it was something like chile relleno or cheese enchilada. Very convenient for lunches in South Midland! read more

Always love to come to La mission, but this time was frustrating enough for me to right a Hangry review. We have the hosts our number to wait 20 min to sit down and 30 min goes by so I asked how much longer the wait and she said under my name that someone texted stop to not send updates when table was ready so it moved on to the next groups so when I asked the number it was wrong number entered we sat in front of them the entire time so they took my correct number and said we would be next to seat. 15 min later and 5 families later I told her to cancel our reservation and we were leaving it was frustrating. Nothing done and I should of asked for manager but anyways moral of the story make sure to verify they have the right number and they should train there employees to verify the number back to the customer before and to let them know if they don't receive a confirmation text to come back up. I bring a lot of clients here and for the time being I'm not going back. But the food is really good just pissed off they didn't try and get me seated for the issue. S read more

The fluatas were not crispy at all. My enchiladas were cold and had no flavor. Not happy with service and will not return

The food was really good and the service was great! The salsa was very tasty. I would recommend this place and would definitely eat here again. read more

Best mexican food in town. Haven found anything on the menu that we don't like. Very friendly staff- Gracie is always does a fantastic job. Beef fajitas are always hot, fresh, and plentiful. Let's not for get the drinks - two thumbs up !! read more

This has been my favorite restaurant since I was a kid. You have to try the lunch buffet.

Packed for lunch today! I can see why. The food is great. The service is up for grabs cause they can't really handle it. More host/cashier help needed. I loved my pork tacos with pico and avocado. The beans were terrific. Some of the best I've had. Very good chips and salsa. read more

Chile Rellenos - "To Die For!" I miss this place. The salsa is on spot too! I didn't go here much growing up but my husband did, man wish we would have. The space is colorful and cool. There is more room upstairs. It does get pretty packed especially Sundays, but it is worth the wait. The price is great too. Oh yea, classic desert as well. read more

The food quality of this restaurant was poor at best. The chili con queso appetizer that I purchased turned out to just be the same cheese sold at sporting events across the country on nachos. Save your money and visit Taco Bell before choosing this restaurant. read more

Yuck! Just left feeling awful. Beans were rancid. Guac had no flavor. Over salted chicken. Bitter tea. So mad at ourselves for eating there. Consider ourselves to know quality food and this did not rate 1 star. Would have done better at the DQ next door And I'd never eat there! read more

Greatest beef fajitas in Texas. I love this place. My favorite reason about going to Midland. It's pretty easy to get to off of I-20. It's well worth it. read more

Great food but customer service is horrible!!! These people are great at up-charging you and leaving you feeling cheated more than satisfied. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

My wife and I love this place, great atmosphere,good food, friendly service and reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit.

La Mision really has a bright and festive atmosphere. There are lots of string lights on the ceiling and all the waitresses wear those bright, fluffy, off the shoulder blouses. The chili rellenos are cheesy and delicious, without being soggy and greasy. Unlike the rice at other Mexican restaurants (that I replace with extra beans), the rice here is not dry and has good flavor. I've had the lunch buffet, which offers a nice selection of the staples (enchiladas, tacos, fajitas, etc). Everything was tasty. The chips and salsa are good. No complaints here. I'm getting hungry just writing about it. Maybe I oughta go here for dinner tonight... read more

If you like to burp a lot, here is your new HQ

Waitresses walking around me for 10 minutes and all of the sudden I get 3 in a row asking what I want. I order a menudo and a short glass of beer. Beer came two minutes before the menudo. Tasted the menudo and guess what? Nothing but salt in it. I tell waitress and the first thing she tells me "you know you still have to pay for it, right? Make me feel like a scumbag trying to get a free meal. Pay and left. Will never come back to this so call restaurant. read more

La Mision - Short glass of beer, imagine the tall one. - Mexican Near Me - Midland, Texas

I would go here again for sure. More autentico than Rosa's, I thought. Great Margaritas. Legit.

Excellent service! Prices are very reasonable. Food is always fresh and delivered hot. Atmosphere makes it easy to relax and enjoy a meal in. read more

My favorite place to go. If I could eat here every day I would. There salsa is the best I ever tasted it has so much flavor in every bite I make my husband get his own bowl it's that good. I have always had great service every time I go they always came to are table to check on us and refill are drinks. I will always recommend this place to anyone who wants amazing Mexican food :) read more

So this place has pretty good food but the prices are a little high. And FYI they do not give chips and salsa with any Togo orders! That alone means I won't be eating there anymore. We are in Texas, chips and salsa comes with all orders. read more

Good nachos. Real cheese and lots of it. They also have a lunch buffet with just about everything on it for $8.
