    A good selection of tacos that were delicious. I usually got Al pastor and carnitas. Recommended!

    Cool vibes a perfect atmosphere for a college town restaurant. Margaritas are good, tacos are good…read moreand you can get them in three styles, Mission, Aloha, and Tacos for the South. Not your traditional Mexican restaurant but the food is good and a good price. My daughter's favorite go-to are the truffle fries (see, not authentic Mexican). They are yummy with good seasoning and the kick of feta cheese. The chips were well seasoned and salsa tasty. You walk up and order at the counter but they did come and check on us to make sure we had everything we need. Very friendly. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and outside has games you can play. As there t-shirt says "all you need is love and tacos" and the painting says "chippin, dippin, margarita sippin at Mission Tacos. Facts.

    Two ate dinner for $35.62 including a preloaded 15% imposed gratuity. Inside loud, boisterous, only…read morehigh top seating inside. Sat outside where large option of regular chairs and picnic tables are. If you are into frozen drinks they seemed to have a huge selection (we are not) self serve white plastic forks and napkins and tap water in a cooler if you don't order a drink (tea is served in Peak bottle so no refills). I ordered 3 tacos and was unable to mix protein (chicken, smoked pulled pork, garlic butter shrimp, or skirt steak) so I got 3 of the skirt steak tacos. Youth vibe, low service to zero service (self serve so enjoy your 15% gratuity imposed) so now to food - tacos were stinking awesome! Flavor of the fresh veggies and sauce and meat all together are excellent! Also, the chips were amazing - different - fresh and had a spice mixture dusted on them - excellent. Food is solid but I didn't care for the other aspects. If your into alcohol, I suspect this is a home run. It's a 3 for me only because how good the food is. I did leave hungry.

    This is one of the best mexican restaurants places I've eaten its really authentic and the food was…read moredelicious, service was excellent, I would definitely recommend giving it a try!

    STAY AWAY!!!!! Went…read morehere for my birthday. Ordered a chicken burrito that came with grilled peppers and onions. The onions in the first bite were burned totally black. I tried to eat more to see if it was just in one spot or part of the burrito.I tried several bites but the entire flavor was of burned, charred food. When the server came back and asked how everything was I told her the food was not good and showed her the totally charred onions. She said "okay, I will take it off of your bill." I said thank you and she took the plate away. I sat there eating nothing while my husband finished his meal. Left with a nasty burn after taste in my mouth. At the register, the same lady who told me she would take the meal off of the bill informed me the cook has said I had to pay 1/2 because I had eaten about 1/2 of the burrito. I told her I only did that hoping it would get better and it did not. I told her it was my birthday and it was not a good experience, and that it was incredulous to me any owner or manager of a business who KNEW he sent that burned food out to a table would take such a position. She said she would go back to the cook again. I told her I would like to speak to him directly. I was never rude. Unbelievably, she came back and said the cook said "next time send the food back sooner." Yes, he said this. Not even an apology for the crap he sent to our table. I told her I had no need to come to that restaurant and eat some of my food, send it back and then try to get to get it for free. I was never offered a replacement. I told her there was a distinct difference between grilled onions and BURNED TO CRISP onions. I understand that this does happen at times, but this was our first and will be our last. I am sure others have wonderful experiences here, but having to be lectured by a server was both distasteful and a big turn off for us. Beware if you go here, they are more interested in your money than your enjoyment of a well cooked and delicious meal. And they do NOT understand the me and of hospitality.

    I normally don't use yelp but I am today My wife and I eat thier often I like steak and my wife…read morechicken well not today they were out of chicken At lunch time? She had to settle with beef or whatever it was supposed to be. I like the cherry wine soda which was also out of I asked if she could fill it and said they didn't have any The 2 workers were not the usual ones I asked what happened to them They said they got rid of them Let me just say the placed ran smooth with them I'm thinking it's time to go to chipotle

    I spotted this restaurant while passing by on the way to the interstate. It was Friday around 6pm…read moreand they were not busy at all. As I walked in, the music definitely puts you in a mood! I absolutely "cha-cha'd" to the counter...LOL Some of the employees do not speak good English... a young lady came from the back to assist me. I ordered the shrimp tacos (grilled). These were cooked to order. You get 5 free toppings and after that, they charge you. I got yellow rice, black beans, red cabbage, shredded cheese, and pico. I asked if I could have the taco sauce on the side. Didn't realize that (taco sauce) is "considered" a topping, so I was charged extra. I asked for a side of guac.... didn't realize it is $4.25 - I posted the 'size' of the guacamole in my pictures. ( I'm never doing that again.) I asked after buying how was the guac, the lady didn't lie, she said that she really didn't like their guac ‍ - I should've asked prior to paying. All in all, I got 3 grilled shrimp tacos with a side of guacamole for $20. I'll try something different next time.
