"I have visited La Mission multiple times for genuine Mexican flavors, and the food is consistently impressive. Dishes like the Flautas de Pollo and the Nopales Mole Poblano burrito are particularly delicious. The service is commendable, and the prices reflect the quality of the food quite well. I highly recommend this spot for anyone craving Mexican cuisine, and I'm definitely considering a return visit. **Flautas de Pollo Rating: 4/5** Crispy, well-seasoned flautas filled with chicken. The exterior is deliciously crunchy, perfectly complementing the flavorful chicken inside. **Platanos Rating: 4/5** Sweet and perfectly caramelized plantains offer a delightful sweetness that pairs well with the savory dishes. **Tacos de Plaza Rating: 4/5** These authentic street-style tacos are bursting with flavor. Each taco is savory and generously filled with delicious ingredients. **Nopales Mole Poblano Burrito Rating: 4/5** This dish features a unique blend of flavors. The mole poblano adds a rich, complex taste to the nopales burrito, making it a truly satisfying meal."

Pollo Asado Burrito is Legit. also I got the Vegetariano Burrito fajita style: fajita style is also very good. I think the ultimate combo would be Pollo Asado Burrito fajita style.

Rolled tacos were way fried and tastess. Ive tried other items from the menu like papa tacos, burrito and enchiladas in the past and they were good. I wouldny recommend rolled tacos. Horcharta was amazing.

I absolutely love the crispy Chips Salsa Fresca; they're perfectly fried and seasoned with spices. The Al Pastor Burrito was delicious and packed with generous portions of meat. Next time, I plan to add some veggies or guacamole, as it only came with rice, beans, and meat.

The flautas were drenched in guacamole and sour cream, but no amount could mask the dryness of the shredded meat inside! The tortilla soup, which I had previously enjoyed much more, tasted off this time. It was saltier, but even worse than the saltiness, it had a slight bitterness—likely due to an excessive use of oregano. View menu

This place is so cute! Little corner restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating on their patio. If you're looking to eat indoors, they only have 2 tables, so come prepared to wait. We ordered at the counter and found a table. The food quickly came out. Their servings a huge and fairly priced. Definitely try the flautas de mole. So good.

This burrito is the kind that makes you want to hop in your car and give the chef a little kiss on the forehead because it truly restored my faith in humanity and all things wonderful. The carnitas are incredibly crispy and packed with flavor, and when I requested extra sour cream, it was generously applied—this thing is dripping goodness. I might just be in love!

We just got to-go, I had a carne asada burrito and my friend got a grande vegetarian taco. The burrito was good--the meat was nicely cooked--but was missing some flavor. Maybe I should've asked for more sauce or added guac. Though I thought that maybe the beef should've been seasoned more to carry the flavor. In any case, I plan to give it another try and order more carefully, largely because the outdoor seating area is nice. View menu

How could my first review of 2024 not be about La Mission? This restaurant consistently serves delicious food and provides excellent service, even during long waits! The seating area is lovely, and while it can get crowded and is located right off the sidewalk (not in the street, just close to it), the turnover is quick. I highly recommend trying the pozole (my absolute favorite) or the chilaquiles for breakfast (also a top favorite). You really can’t go wrong with anything on this menu! Oh wow, have I really reviewed this place four times? Oops! It still definitely earns a 5-star rating from me!

We saw this restaurant always bustling with customers, so we had to give it a try! As soon as I walked in, I was warmly welcomed, and there were so many options that it was tough to decide what to order! We weren't very hungry but still wanted to sample the food. We settled on carne asada tacos and a carnitas taco, along with a delicious horchata. I completely forgot to ask for no onions and cilantro, but it was no big deal—I just picked them out. Overall, the food was decent but nothing extraordinary. I'm really looking forward to trying their desserts next time; I absolutely love cheesecake and carrot cake! On my next visit, checking out their desserts is definitely on my list!
