| - Definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants in this town.
What I liked:
The food: I started with the three-bean salad, which was fantastic. It was a mixture of fresh green beans, black beans and pinto beans in a semi-sweet dressing. Great appetizer on for a hot summer day. For my entree, I ordered the mahi-mahi tacos, which were also amazing. Three small corn tortillas (house made) topped with big chunks of flash-fried mahi, pickled red pepper, and a special sauce. My wife ordered the black cod for her entree and it was also insanely good. The house-made guac is also a must-have at The Mission, as they prepare it at your table. Another must-have is the grits -- make sure you order it as a side dish -- be prepared for serious spiciness though. Someone else in our party had the pork shoulder tacos, which he loved.
The ambiance: very cool. dimly lit, modern, classy.
What I didn't like:
Service: Our server had a bit of an attitude, and they were also out of several things we wanted to order. We arrived at 8:15 and they were already out of the main soup on the menu (five chile soup).
All in all a must-try for "fine dining" Mexican in Scottsdale.
