    I recently visited Mission Taqueria with my daughters for a nice dinner, and we had an amazing experience! I decided to try the Mission Plate, and it was absolutely delicious—so full of flavor that each bite was a delight. The highlight for me was the toppings bar, which offered a fantastic variety of salsas and hot sauces. It was so much fun to customize our meals!The decor of the restaurant is vibrant and colorful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that added to our overall enjoyment. The ambiance truly enhanced our dining experience, making it feel special.If you’re looking for a place with great food and a lively atmosphere, I highly recommend visiting Mission Taqueria. It’s definitely worth trying!

    Wow! So amazing and so delicious! The service was so worth the wait. We loved how much flavor and quantity the food had and how well talented the chefs were. I'll bring the whole entire family next time, plus tips for the cashier's and hostess! David thank you for a wonderful meal and great conversation! You really made our lunch/dinner special. We will be back for MORE!

    Been wanting to go to this place for a while. I go by it when I go down Lighthouse all the time.I stopped in.I ordered the queso burrito. It was $ when I got out of there, it was $.They had a salsa bar and I got the Verdi sauce and one of their dark sauces.I waited till I got home and took a couple of bites,I expected a lot more. A little pricey for a burrito and personally, I'm not that impressed.I looked at their menu previously and a street taco is $. and I think that's overpriced for one street Taco.Parking's hard to find because it's a busy street on Lighthouse. The staff is friendly. My food was cooked quickly but personally I've had better food.By the way, Chips are an extra price.Parking: This is a rough corner because lighthouse is very hard to find parking. I just happen to find something across the streetKid-friendliness: Saw a few young kids in there. Might be a little pricey for them but something for everyone

    I'm rating this place a overall because I think, for most people, this food - and the service - will be a hit! My own experience of the food was less than that though because I'm a picky eater and I don't like to be surprised by anything on my plate. I ordered the grilled chicken street taco without salsa or onions, and there were still a handful of onions on the taco let alone a sizeable slice of beef. In addition, there were some radishes and cucumbers on the plate that I didn't expect (and don't like!). I also prefer flour tortillas to corn, but wasn't asked. Again, I share this review for others who were just born sensitive to textures and flavors like me - and not to disparage this restaurant. The service was great - folks checked in multiple times to see if I needed anything and the vibe was lively and happy. The food is clearly made with care and everyone else seemed to be greatly enjoying their dishes.
