About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
Old Town Scottsdale’s heart beats to a Latin drum at The Mission where renowned Chef Matt Carter (Zinc Bistro and Fat Ox) brings a modern twist to Latin cuisine blending influences from Spain, Mexico, Central America and South America.

Sip a signature margarita with unique flavors such as cucumber jalepeno or aguacate (yes, we said avocado) as you watch your Tableside Guacamole made to your taste from more than a dozen fresh ingredients.

Home made tortillas, and salsas are made fresh daily to accompany an assortment of meats and seafood prepared on a Plancha or a grill using pecan and mesquite wood that instills a rich flavor. And save room for dessert including our pumpkin bread pudding or expresso churros.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Matt Carter

From the OpenTable editors: You know a chef is a big deal when they win a lifetime achievement award from the Arizona Restaurant Association, like chef Matt Carter did in 2024 for his contributions to furthering Arizona's culinary culture. At The Mission, Carter takes broad inspiration from the Americas with dishes like handmade tortillas, freshly smashed salsas, and tableside guacamole from the molcajete cart that showcase the gorgeous local bounty.

    Our server was polite but was blase towards our service. She rushed and checked in infrequently. We were never offered to order cocktails, I believe she may have thought we only wanted water in which my husband’s water remained empty for most of the visit. We also had to ask twice for a to-go box while waiting for her to return to our table. We love The Mission and have always enjoyed our visits, but unfortunately, this experience didn’t quite meet the standard we’ve come to expect.

    Food and service were amazing. We loved our waiter and the hostesses that sat us were very nice. The only complaint is the seating arrangement was awful. The table we sat at was jammed in between two tables and felt very uncomfortable and was not intimate at all. This won’t ever keep us from coming back but just had to call it out because of how awful it was.

    We had a fantastic dinner with great service! We ordered the lime & cola pork belly which was delicious. The margaritas were perfect, and I highly recommend the mahi mahi tacos! Will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

    This was my first visit and I was not overly impressed. Service was poor, the food was ok. I may give it another try.

    This has happened twice to me….seated outside in the back, thin male server with Curly hair asks what we want, we wait 10 min for our drinks. We then wait 20 more to PLACE our order while he ignores us. We literally get up, go to the front and ask to pay our tab without eating. Worst service ever.
