The new uptown Mission located in Kierland Commons is a nice option for those living in North Scottsdale. Unlike the Old Town location, which is dark and mysterious inside, the new location is bright, swanky, more Vegas than Scottsdale.
The menu is the same, which is a good thing. The staff is friendly, as exhibited by our server Kathleen.
We started with the Mission margaritas and the famous tabled prepared guacamole. It's always satisfying and a great way to start your meal.
Always a difficult choice to make but for dinner, we went with the Pork Shoulder tacos for two. The tortillas are heated by a warm brick of salt. The meat was very tender. The sauce was good but a little too sweet for me.
The street corn side was very tasty.
