I went to The Mission when I first moved to Phoenix about a year and a half ago and remember thinking that the food was good, but a bit pricey. I hadn't been back until this past weekend while we had guests visiting from out of town.
I can't get past how amazing the Almejas al vapor was. Literally the best soup I've ever had. The people I was with thought that the pork shoulder was the best they'd ever had. The street corn was also delicious. The table side guac was good but not spectacular - though the pumpkin seeds were a great addition. Overall I was incredibly impressed and am wondering why I hadn't been back sooner!
