They have very good BBQ Tofu plates, tamales, and chips. The decor is little cheesy, but overall it's a great place. If you're into fresh hot sauces, ask for the spice shuttle.

Great food and margaritas with excellent service every time I've been. Very small so can get full fast, but it's nice to just get drinks at the bar with chips and salsa or guacamole

The staple - 3 chicken hard tacos, black beans, white rice, medium salsa. Never pass on the soup special - it's their specialty.

Now that I've tried the food, this is already one of my favorite restaurants here in Syracuse! Also loving the Breckenridge agave wheat ale. Yum!

The steak nachos are everything in this world! But also the quesadillas are always fire. The sangria is watered down, don't recommend it.

They've added a BBQ tofu burrito to their Vegan offerings. Their fajitas with zucchini and spices aren't half bad. Pro tip: Ask for the "Spice Shuttle"

Get a carafe of sangria and the queso fundido with chorizo and you won't be disappointed. The entrees are just okay though. Beautiful place!

If I had just a little bit less self-respect, I'd order a large thing of their guacamole and just eat it with a spoon. That would be my dinner. AND IT WOULD BE HEAVEN.

Great food and great service! Good brews on tap too. Definitely worth a visit.

Located in an old historic church, stained glass windows intact, The Mission features the best Mexican in the area, in a charming venue!
Rachel GruberJanuary 20, 2011
Margaritas are salty but good. The guacamole is delicious. But make sure you go early or late on a weekend night -- they don't take reservations and the wait is always long!

Went there for dinner, usually it's very good food & service. Last night our service was very slow, waited 30 mins for soup, salmon salad & clams. It wasn't busy either. Off night, maybe?

A gem in the Columbus circle area and a historic site. Food is great.

Make sure to hit up The Mission on Fridays when the special is a shrimp & scallop burrito.

Always ask for the soup. And if it's good ... when it's good—fill your mouth with it.

Awesome place all around. Great atmosphere, food, and service.
KateNovember 7, 2011
ask for the peppers and hot sauces condiments tray, they don't bring it right away, but it's great for people who like heat!

Amazing Queso Dip, best I've ever had and I LOVE Mexican food. X
Paula WagAugust 9, 2016
Best guacamole and chips and very good drinks

The queso fundido esta muy bueno! Have them add crumbled chorizo for an extra kick!

Put everything on the menu in your mouth. Your tastebuds will be very thankful. You're welcome.

Pro tip: add pico de gallo to the guac to spice things up.
Mike SmithJune 15, 2013
Fish tacos were great and so is the guacamole. Not a fan of the wine margaritas tho.
Brent SimsMay 11, 2018
Great selection of different choices
Sharon (MsJiff)March 15, 2014
Inside is gorgeous, and it smells heavenly. Can't wait to try the food.
Diane ConwayAugust 27, 2017
Good service, nice ambience, great guac. However, the food was a tad salty.
Lu LeszinskyAugust 20, 2011
The chicken anticucho with chimichurri, black beans, rice and orange slices is the best!
Cory BrownMarch 30, 2014
The fish tacos weren't bad, little over done, and the pato de blue was unique.

Sunday brunch from 10-2. The menu is ridiculous.

After reading all the positive reviews on YellowPages, I was really excited to finally try The Mission. But service was mediocre and food was only ok for the price. I probably won't go back again.
JenKuduJuly 26, 2013
The tortas are good (chicken and steak), but not authentic.
ClaireSeptember 2, 2014
Was not impressed. Got our drink order after our food arrived. Server was very anxious and rushed us out before a large table was seated. No music, but well decorated

Stand a couple feet from the urinal. Youre in the splash zone

Ask for a punch card. Your 10th meal is free
Sarina FieroDecember 20, 2010
Get the salsa sampler to start and the flan to finish. So delicious!
Don StevensOctober 24, 2013
Try their vegetable burrito for lunch.

Ask for the hot sauces. The pickled serranos are worth a visit.
Harrison OtterbeinJuly 18, 2013
Worst service downtown, waited close to an hour for a quassadilla, it was okay, nothing special, don't go during a lunch break. The people next to us said they waited an hour for take out.
Amy LeeSeptember 9, 2012
tequila key lime pie.. one slice is not enough
Joe HankoAugust 24, 2011
The guacamole is delicious!!
Barbara ElizabethMay 19, 2013
Margaritas are not house made! They use a mix, and it is awful. Just get a beer or wine. No full fledged liquor license here. Beware.
RoundedAugust 4, 2011
Chicken Tacos! Great lunch spot
