AmybeeMarch 16, 2014Overrated. Chicken wings were not fully cooked, vegetarian tacos were really lacking substance, meat tacos all tasted the same, along with patchy service. Not worth the hype.
Emily WilsonAugust 8, 2015Mission Cantina pales in comparison to Mission Chinese. It's just not that great.
Steo SJuly 26, 2014This used to be a really good but expensive (mostly)taco place. Now it is just an expensive place.
Curtis ShoungAugust 30, 2015Meh. So much meh. The tortillas are probably the best in the city but everything else is meh
Rachel BerkowitzOctober 2, 2016This place is extremely overpriced. Huge letdown after Mission Chinese
Eri VJune 11, 2014Overpriced and overhyped. Service was lacking and painstakingly slow. Paid $9 for two 2-bite tacos. Not worth it. Take your money elsewhere.
Ashley SingletonJanuary 26, 2014Worst place ever!!! Unless you like beef tongue and veal heart don't come here. One of the most horrid menus I've ever seen.
Perri SilverFebruary 26, 2015Overrated. The lamb belly taco was way too fatty and not particularly flavorful.
Tricia McMahonMay 16, 2014Horrendous service, actually had to ask multiple times for someone to take our food and drink order. Overpriced and overrated.
- TerryJanuary 10, 2014Overrated and huge disappointment. Ceviche, tacos, guacamole were nothing special.
MayraJuly 29, 2015Esos taquitos de garbanzo de $1 son un hit aunque ud no lo crea! Tecate servida con limón y salecita (como dictaban los '80) + un par de taquitos y yastas!

"Dishes to try include falafel tacos with hummus, Hokkaido sea urchin on toast, pastrami tacos with mustard seed salsa, and tempura fish with lime mayo. There’s guacamole and the seven salsas, too."

"Easily my favorite restaurant on the UES. Sit at the bar. Get the salsa. Carne Asada dinner is amazing. Love it."
Jackson Benedict - 8.4
"Great brunch. Good spot for groups. Start with the Bourbon Spiked Mocha, guacamole + chips and the queso with sausage. For the main course I highly recommend the Chilaquiles with Cecina Beef."
