    What a great time after the Nats (WINNING) game! Thanks to Maddy F and Preston, Mission was THE only right post-game decision. Best drinks. Best service. Best bartenders. Vibes unmatched. Will be back and hope those two are too!

    Ashley and Mia were wonderful! I'm vegan and not too many places by the ballpark have good food that can meet my dietary restrictions. Mission served it up! Delicious food! Margaritas were absolutely refreshing with a bit of attitude! Don't worry, they tailor the attitude to suit your needs Wonderful atmosphere and service! Put this place as must go!

    I love the DuPont location; it's always been a personal favorite. I was excited to try Mission Navy Yard for a Sunday Football visit. The food was solid and reliable. I had the queso, a diet coke, and their signature wings, all of which were good. It was missing that sports bar vibe as it was a bit empty, but service was a little slow. Overall, a pretty decent experience!

    Mission at the Navy Yard stands within steps away from Washington Nationals Park. Prior to my visit, I do recognize other options were favored based on recent reviews, but I took the chance, and I do regret it. Be it an off day or the standard of service in this restaurant, Mission was not it for me. Disappointing. On the day of my visit, IDs were being checked at the door. And it went downhill from there. Arrived on the 2nd floor and was told service would be quicker sitting at the bar versus at the bartops. The bartenders on the day of our visit seemed really spaced out. It may be the combination of bombardment of crowds from the game and heat, it has been a while since I received service with very poor interaction. Cold, hesitant, and impatient. Orders were simple, as offerings of the day are simple. Nothing complicated, but chips, salsa, and tacos... the meal was bland and passable. Goodness gracious, no thank you. Maybe another day.

    Me and my bestie went for lunch yesterday and the CUSTOMER SERVICE was on point. Mia the bartender was AMAZING!!! Food was very good!!!

    Mission Navy Yard was a fun spot! Went for a post-work college alumni event with friends and had a great time trying their drinks and enjoying the beautiful day. Mission is a bit smaller than I expected, but had enough room to fill what seemed to be 70-80 people. My friends and I enjoyed the spicy chips and salsa that paired well with our drinks. Definitely not my go-to spot in Navy Yard, but a decent choice nonetheless!

    I stopped by Mission with a friend prior to going to a DC United game. I ended up getting three tacos, hot honey salmon, boom boom chicken, and arrachera steak. Energy was high good music and all around good vibes. Food was fantastic and definitely more filling than I thought it was going to be.

However, the waitress was excellent with providing order recommendations and ensuring that we were taken care of. Drinks: I ordered the ranch water which wasn't anything spectacular. Just a simple non-sugary drink to enjoy while dining. I opted out of the fajitas but the rest of my party loved the steak and shrimp fajitas, which were part of the fajitas 2 deal. Plenty to share and I heard that the steak was cooked to perfection and the shrimp was seasoned well. I ordered the taco salad and that dish was PHENOMENAL! There is something to be said about a wet salad which manages to hold some crunchy texture to the taco strips. Also, it was perfectly chopped and all ingredients were mixed together so well. To complete the dish, I ordered a side of rice and chicken. Both were delicious but the chicken portion could use some work. Overall I'm curious to try their breakfast tacos so count me in on returning! They also offer a great happy hour so I recommend stopping by to enjoy their bar or even their cute outdoor seating.

We ordered their "most popular apps" for 5 which came with tamales, croquettes, empanadas, deviled eggs, oranges, and fried pork rinds (chips?).

The edamame was soft, like they used thawed frozen peas and barely any salt. Overall - this visit satisfied the craving of wanting ramen.
