| - Side note before the review: One reason to visit this place for me was that while visiting 'Mission Taco' in St. Louis, it was a crazy success! If this place was a success, I was going to visit every place with 'Mission' in the name without hesitation. It is my mission and I accept.
Why this place only has 3.5 stars is beyond me. With my brunch meal, it's worth five stars easily... and I'm sure with your meal/experience it's certainly worth four stars.
While looking for places in Phoenix/Scottsdale to go on a brunch date with my lovely lady, I asked the Phoenix Yelp community manager. One of the places on the list was The Mission. As I glanced over the brunch menu, I noticed Red Chilaquiles and Green Chilaquiles. I knew that I just had to go!
We went ahead and made reservations with OpenTable for Saturday morning when they open. We didn't need to though. There were a few groups that came in during our hour there, but it wasn't overcrowded at all.
Upon arrival, we were asked if we wanted to sit inside or out. With the warm weather, OUTSIDE was obvious. I had a few issues with sitting on the patio outside. 1: The birds endlessly flying around. 2: That particular shopping mall intersection allowed for more through-traffic than I wanted. My meal was still flawless but I think I would've enjoyed myself inside more this time.
The Food:
When I looked at the menu eariler in the week, I knew I was going to have a tough time choosing which Chilaquiles I wanted(The red or the green). The red ones have red chiles while the green ones have serrano peppers.
I eventually decided on the green - Fried corn tortillas & smoked chicken, serrano, avocado, cilantro, fried egg & cotija. WOW! What a dish! For the Louisville audience out there... I've found Chilaquiles better than Con Huevos. The cilantro stood out to me. There was something about the cilantro flavor clashing with the chicken and serrano that really brought out the right kind of spice.
My date also devoured her chorizo scramble.
Since it was a vacation, I decided to splurge a little and order a third entree. This third entree acted as part appetizer-part dessert. I ordered the blueberry-banana pancakes with bacon maple syrup. The caramelized bananas stood out. While the syrup was tasty with the bacon floating in it, I didn't need much of it. It was still a worthy dish although it had nothing on my green chilaquiles.
I don't have any real complaints here except for the mimosas. Eleven bucks for one mimosa when you can go anywhere here in Louisville for weekend brunch and get one for a few bucks.
Special shoutout to the guy refilling water. I tend to gulp the water when I eat out. He kept me filled! Kudos to him!
I'll be sure to stop in here for those green chilaquiles the next time I'm in Arizona. My only regret is waiting until my last day to visit this place. I'm sure they have many other things on their lunch and dinner menu that would knock my socks off.
