| - I came here yesterday with my friend for lunch. As of now I will give The Mission 4.5 stars out of 5 only because we did not have any entrees, we split several appetizers, so I can't give that extra half star or even maybe take that half star away.
We split the brisket torta, which was heavenly. After my first bite I was in love. The aji amarillo sauce I could spread all over everything I eat. Next we had the Almejas Al Vapor and all I have to say is that this soup is transcendental. I have never tasted anything like this before. The broth is a yellow pepper base and I never knew you could get this type of sublime flavor from a yellow pepper. Clams, rock shrimp, chorizo, pan de yucca, aji amarillo, and roast corn. Please bring me more of this delicious soup!!!
Then our bartender / waiter brought us out a complimentary order of the grilled street corn. I do have to say that I am not a fan of spicy food whatsoever but the chile paprika and cojita sauce was done so tastefully that I extremely enjoyed it.
The decor, is intimate. This is a place you would love to take someone to impress them. Candle holders carved out of Peruvian sea salt, a classy act right there. Somber atmosphere, at tentative and attractive waitstaff. Attractive food and an all around great time. I will be back soon and if not for anything but the soup I will be a very, very happy man.
