About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • 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 service took so long. Our reservation was late to begin with but we didn’t leave til 10:30. We waited so long for our food and took forever to place our order.

    Restaurant was extremely dark. We were served cocktails and then waited for a very long time to make our food order. Same thing happened to the table next to us. We started with their guacamole made table side. We then waited forever for our entree. Restaurant was soooo dark I could barely see food on the plate. My recommendation: Save your money. This place is not worth the cost.

    Food was very good with a surprising take on Latin fare. Our server was very knowledgeable and all her recommendations were well received. We thoroughly enjoyed our family lunch.

    Always consistent and the table-side guacamole is a must. We attended this establishment following a Sunday outdoor concert at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts around 2:00. Not too busy and the service was friendly and attentive. We ordered the mahi tacos and our friends ordered the Cuban sandwich, short rib tacos and crispy shrimp tacos. Very tasty. We will be back plus the parking across the way is a cinch.
