What People Are Saying About Mission Cantina
Featured Review
Randi Schmelzer

With its stained-glass windows and mood-enhancing indigo walls, this long, narrow room could be mistaken for a Mexican-inspired cathedral. But one look at the tequila-lined bar and it's obvious this mission has a decidedly different object of worship. Like bar-restaurateur George Abou-Daoud's other Sunset chill spots, Bowery and Delancey, the mission of the Mission is hardly pretentious: No matter how crowded it gets, everyone's welcome. Unlike the others, which buzz with a distinctly New York vibe, this feels like the Eagles' Hotel California come to life. Patrons in for the long haul sit at…
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- Cozy up to the bar for the strong selection of sangrias, draft beers, and, of course, tequilas. All can be used in signature drinks like the jalapeno martini and grapefruit-lavender margaritas.

- Save Money:
- It's happy hour at the Mission weekdays from 5pm to 8pm. That means everything on the bar's specialty cocktail list is half-price, and all beers are $4.
- Where to Sit:
- Check out the stone-and-iron patio--decked out with potted plants and soft lighting, it's a cozy outdoor nook.

YUM!
by BluePoppy
This is a wonderful place to meet the friends for a drink or bite to eat! Specifically, on Taco Tuesdays when the yummy tacos are even cheaper!
They bring out your tortillas with choice of meat on them -- they give you an assortment of toppings so you can add as much or little of each as you want.
Super tasty! The staff are so friendly and wonderful!
Love this place!
- Pros: service and food
- Cons: a bit too loud at times

very Poor experience
by rednyellow
I just had a very POOR experience at Mission. It was my first and probably last time. I wanted a small dinner and gave them a try. I ordered the slow cooked beef (barbacoa?) tacos combo with rice and beans and an order of guacamole. The chips were fine but the salsa had a very oily texture, made my lips feel greasy and no heat. The tacos were very small and too bland. The meat was good, but not really seasoned, not much spice. The rice and beans were ok, plain simmered beans and fluffy rice. The kind of food I feel stupid paying for. I paid my bill and they shorted my change, which I hate. I just wanted to leave, didn't feel like bringing it up, so I shorted the tip. When I was driving away, I got to thinking about the total of the check and it dawned on me that I never got the guacamole, but was charged for it
- Pros: lots of tequile
- Cons: bland food

Terrible Tequila Selection and Uninformed Staff
by TequilaTrotter07
If you are going to open a tequila bar make sure your staff knows what they are talking about....I travel alot for work and when I go to different cities I make it a point to find the tequila bars. I am an avid tequila drinker. I decided to go with some colleaques and I was very excited because I am a huge fan of The Bowery so I thought this would be good. Same company and it is tequila...WRONG!!!
The bartender informed me they only carry small artesinal tequila companies. That being said I laughed when he was showing us Patron and Don Julio. I am pretty sure that they aren't small or artesinal. I do love some Don Julio 1942 every once in awhile but Patron. GROSS... Then I got the bill and nearly lost it. WAY OVERPRICED..... It was ridiculous. NO thanks. I can drink another couple miles to the Velvet Margarita or to Malo in either direction and be much more content....
- Pros: Its on Sunset near Vine
- Cons: Everything...price, tequila selection, uneducated staff

Fabulous Food, Cheap Drinks, and Cute Boys!!!
by nic271980
You have to check this place out!!!! I was going to Delaney's next door(which is great as well) but I was drawn to the Rod Iron gates of the Mission Catina!! The decor is very cool and the food is so fresh!! The chips were home made and warm...I had the asada tacos (2 for $6.50!)- they gave 4 salsa and topping choices! They were not greasy, the meat was fabulous My mom had Corn on the cob- with a house specialty butter- so good. We also tried their quesadillia - heaven- my mom said it tasted better than Homemade Mac and Cheese! ... The bar service was on point! Drinks were only $7!!!
You have to check it out- cute boys, outside patio, great food!!!
- Pros: great food, outside patio, cool people, relaxed enviroment, did i Mention the great food??
