Me and my friends enjoyed Mission Taqueria! We went during happy hour, which has good deals on tacos (1 taco was $3) and had some chips with it! I will say the menu was a bit confusing. I wanted chips and salsa, and my waiter was having a hard time helping me get it as a side. I didnt want 3 dips, with that its $13 which is crazy. We just wanted a small order and eventually she was able to help us. Our food was yummy but drinks were small and pricey. But, I'd come back again for happy hour because of the food.

Super fun spot for tacos, happy hour. Located upstairs with a super fun interior. Day drinkable for sure. I only came for happy hour so I can only speak to the drinks but might I recommend the spicy marg. Jalapeño infused with high drinkability. Great HH deals

Many good memories made here! Two tacos seems like not e enough food but they are jam packed with goodness and flavored. Paired with a drink I felt feeling full and happy. The guacamole was yummmmmmm too.

I went on a double date night with my bf and our two friends. Great atmosphere for a night out with friends, especially with the lighting and decorations. I got the cochinita pibil tacos (braised pork), which I don't usually see at taco places. My bf got barbacoa. Note that they only have two tacos per serving instead of three. I was at awe at the mahi mahi and shrimp tacos our friends got. I'd been afraid that they would skimp on the seafood but they did not!! Out of my bf and I's food, I found the cochinita pibil tacos the most flavorful, perhaps because of the pickled veggies and cheese on top. We also got churros for dessert. These came with bittersweet chocolate and dulce de leche sauces. I don't think I'd get them again because they were too doughy for my liking without a strong enough flavor. Only bad thing about the place was the price. I'd say go if you want to impress the people you're with or want to hang out somewhere that looks cool. If you just want good tacos, there are plenty of other places that fit the bill.

Always a great place to impress people from out of town. Always a great place for friends to grab a s bite and a cocktail. It's easy and good vibes. Sometimes a little loud but still a great place.

Every time we come to Philly, we specifically stop by Mission for happy hour and their tasty, tasty guacamole. They have delicious vegetarian tacos and delectable meaty options that are the solid price of $3/taco for happy hour. Atmosphere is also top notch and I really like the cool, central room with the plants. The horchata iced coffee is also another favorite at this spot. Definitely stop by if you can!Vegetarian options: Cauliflower raco and an eggplant taco

Delicious food, birria was awesome. The churros were the best with the dulce de leche. Tres leches could use more leche. The flavor was great though. Had a lemon ginger soda that tasted like kombucha and it was flavorful.

Came here around 8:30 on a Thursday with a reservation (otherwise there would have been a short wait). The hostesses were very attentive and gracious since my table wasn't ready when I arrived and my server was great. I don't drink often so she explained all of the margaritas and helped me choose the best option for my sweet tooth. I went with a passion fruit margarita with a sugar rum. Only had light bites but what we had was pretty good- will be back to fully try the menu.

While it's not the most authentic Mexican fare, the guacamole, shrimp tacos, and steak salad were all delicious. Their plantains are pretty good. I'd pass on the pork rinds. I genuinely enjoyed the lemon ginger soda. Just be sure to make a reservation as this place gets busy, especially on weekends. Overall, a solid choice for a trendy dining experience.
