About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Neighbourhood gem
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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Matt Carter

From the OpenTable editors: You know a chef is a big deal when they win a lifetime achievement award from the Arizona Restaurant Association, like chef Matt Carter did in 2024 for his contributions to furthering Arizona's culinary culture. At The Mission, Carter takes broad inspiration from the Americas with dishes like handmade tortillas, freshly smashed salsas, and tableside guacamole from the molcajete cart that showcase the gorgeous local bounty.

    Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. Started with some cocktails at the bar. Although it was busy, the bartenders were attentive and the cocktails were good. For dinner we shared a Buratta salad and had the pork shoulder tacos with a side of roasted poblano grits. Our server, Marissa did a great job explaining the details of each dish and was true to her word in timing and spacing of the salad from the main dinner the upbeat music added to the atmosphere Can’t wait to come back!!

    Beautiful place. Excellent margaritas, guac prepared table side, and delicious mahi-mahi tacos. Server was efficient, but not friendly. Greeted us with “drinks?” Then “apps?” “Ready to order?”. Really rushed us through.

    Really packed, tables so close together it’s uncomfortable. Food was good! Noise level was really high plus playing very loud music.

    It was a very beautiful place, and also enjoyed there guacamole they makes for the table. However keep in mind it’s very tiny so you may not see this experience happening. Besides that I one hundred percent recommend it for an intimate date.
