Sooo yummy & decently priced!! Mission is one of my favorite spots in North Admiral for a quick casual dinner. We’ve been many times, but this time I ordered the Al Pastor Tacos which were amazing, and my boyfriend got the Chicken Fajitas. I’ve also heard their Cali-style Burritos are incredible but I haven’t tried them yet. They don’t give you chips and salsa, you have to order them… but their margaritas are all really good! I got the Strawberry Margarita and loved it.

The food is good, with fresh ingredients. They have real lemonade with real fruit such as strawberry, mango, or peach. The decoration is beautiful with low light but it is not dark. Inside and outside seating available. Parking on the street was easy. The waitress was very nice and the food came fast.

About 20 of us had a 6pm reservation at the top floor of the restaurant, beautiful place, amazing food I had the Mission Burrito with shredded chicken. Wonderful waitresses! Especially *POLLY!! What a Rockstar she was!!! Thankyou for everything we will be back!

I am so insanely excited that I just found my new favorite brunch spot. The mimosas are back and man are they delicious! They serve bottomless(ish) mimosas with 16 different flavor options. I’d never heard of bottomish mimosas so I did the math and you get pretty good savings still as long as you drink 2+ mimosas. My friends and I tried as many as possible and had such a fun time. The food was satisfying and for the most part very good. I got the breakfast quesadillas and I would easily come back again just for that quesadilla. So happy the west seattle bridge is open so I can make my way out here more often!

This is a cool, funky bar and restaurant! We sat outside because it was a nice day but we will go back to sit inside next time. The decor and atmosphere are worth the visit. The food and service just add to the great experience. The service staff were new, still learning and eager to please.

Want to give a full-throated public thank-you to Mission Cantina for an amazing experience last night — after accommodating a fifteen-person reservation just a week and a half in advance, we got not only the best food, but also incredible service for our prom night; from chips and salsa and desserts on the house to comments by the whole staff of “you guys look great!” and “have a great night tonight!”, we could not have picked a more perfect location for dinner. HIGHLY recommend for any group event in West Seattle!!!

We sat in the outdoor area which was perfect for happy hour. Service was lightning fast and the food was on point. A box of hot sauces for tasting was a good touch.

Marcia Taylor
Excellent selection. Although it lacks heat and spice, the salsa is delicious and unique. There was no wait to be seated and the service was excellent. There is plenty of parking in the back.
