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.

Ask for chips straight out of the fryer because those pair so well. Server was more of a helicopter parent than anything. Duck empanadas were decent. Price of the food compared to the quality of the food was mediocre. Wait to be seated took 10 minutes when there was no one in the restaurant.

We got table side guac service from Sam the Man (we dubbed him that because he was so adorable). Our waitress suggested a mocktail since we weren't drinking and that too was so good. Loved their chicken tacos, steak tacos, chips, salsa...and even the holiday decorations. Such a wonderful evening. Go, treat yourself!

Many competing and unnecessary sauces per dish adding calories, sodium and sugar and drowning the flavor of the food. Would you like some food with your buffet of sauces? Portions were very small for the price. Service lacked. The wait for every request was long. Ambience was exceptional. Drinks were good.

The margaritas were special as well.

We were celebrating a birthday tonight and he brought a sparkling candle! The food was delicious, great portions, and perfect guacamole! The bread pudding is super tasty! Nice ambience. Thank you The Mission!

Had the corn and guacamole appetizers, both very good, however, no chips, just when I was looking for our server, she finally arrived with our drinks and chips. keep in mind the corn is served warm. My Cuban was not good, whatever bread they use fell apart, had to use a fork and knife, ingredients were falling out of the bread, not very tasty either. My son had the fish taco, said it was ok. Husband had the posole, very small portion, said it also was just ok. Server gave us the check, never asked if we wanted dessert. There were at least 2 birds flying around the restaurant, I like birds but not inside, not healthy. Sorry, I was really looking forward to eating here, won't be back. My son was in from Atlanta, is in the food business so I was a little embarrassed since I thought this place was popular.
