About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Hot spot
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was fantastic. Definitely try the Green Chile Pinto Beans — they’re absolutely mind-blowing! We started with the Duck Carnitas Empanadas with a prickly pear margarita and a jalapeno/cucumber margarita. The cocktails were exceptional and the starter was wonderful. A bit heavier than we anticipated, but we should have known better from reading the description in the menu, especially after the inclusion of foie gras. For entrees, we shared the 10oz Flat Iron Steak and the Chorizo Porchetta, and both dishes were delicious and perfectly sized and balanced. We had the Oaxacan Cheesy Rice and the Green Chile Pinto Beans as sides. We polished the bowl of Pinto Beans and ordered another to take home to try to deconstruct. They’re amazing… If all beans tasted this good, there’d be no need to any other food. Our server, McKenzie, was awesome — attentive when needed and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the menu when we first arrived. She also took the time to explain the unique cooking and preparation processes for various items, which gave us a better appreciation for why the restaurant is known for its outstanding pork dishes and authenticity. We will absolutely be back and share this restaurant with visiting friends and family. 100% recommended. 👍😊💯

    First time to The Mission - we had a great meal, good service. Highly recommend the guacamole cart! We sat on the patio and they had a water mister on the ceiling to keep the patio cool in the hot weather.

    The food was very good. We have been there numerous times and while we were waiting for seating on the back patio, we were told that diners at 2 tables were not getting up and after an additional 20 minutes we were placed in the front patio. You had one server that covered several tables and that led to delays with no help We finished with the churro desert and the espresso had melted, was warm and waited an additional 20 minutes after trying to cancel because of the delay. Not good

    The Brussels sprout tacos were probably the best tacos I’ve ever eaten. I will definitely be back for another visit.

    The atmosphere always hits here. It’s a fun vibe. The energy is always high but it’s not overwhelming or intrusive. The food never disappoints and the chef usually accommodates our party’s proclivities and needs. Tonight, we started with the table-side guac. (We highly recommend all of the inclusion options.) For dinner, we had the butternut squash tacos and the pork belly lettuce wraps off of the starter menu. Super flavorful and the portions make this place a high- value option in Old Town. I always recommend this spot for any in town guests, special occasion or just a random Monday. You can’t go wrong.
