Fried chicken and pork belly tacos. Skip the wings
Robyn LJanuary 28, 2015
Guac. Chickpea mole. Half fried chicken.
rich masioSeptember 14, 2015
Nice staff, things to pick on, fish taco.
Sarah MaguireSeptember 6, 2014
Don't debate, order the corn side dish you won't regret it. However, the cocktails and tacos are so-so.
Ian MarsanyiNovember 28, 2013
Lamb taco. More lamb, less taco, crazy juicy.
Thomas TurnbullNovember 16, 2013
Amazing vegetarian tacos, especially the bitter greens.
R SMarch 17, 2014
Best burrito in NYC. No debate. Also, those wings.
Andy AmendolaNovember 21, 2013
Carnitas Taco is the best pork taco in NYC right now.
Alex GodinNovember 23, 2013
Octopus taco, bitter greens taco, scallop ceviche...
Daniel SchauenbergJanuary 25, 2015
The lamb pho was the perfect breakfast
AlexSeptember 2, 2014
Get the chicken wings. Really, get the chicken wings.
Kimberely ChengJanuary 17, 2014
Make a reservation at least two weeks in advance. We have now been waiting 1.5 hours. Management has been nice though.
Pueblo Viejo TequilaMarch 3, 2016
If you want to freshen up with a delicious cocktail at Mission Cantina, try a Paloma mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
Harry DavisJune 23, 2015
lamb tacos - braised, shredded, and left to blister in lamb fat
Simone McDermidMarch 23, 2014

Madison SJuly 5, 2015
He vegetables sides were surprising delicious!
Alex CasariegoFebruary 22, 2015
Great burritos, but only available for delivery
Amanda RayeJanuary 5, 2014
Amazing! The service is great too!
Vince WongJuly 17, 2014
The Rotisserie Chicken Super Burrito is a hit!
Leah HammerschlagSeptember 6, 2014
Poor service- inattentive, eye-rolling waiters. Would have ordered the half chicken if they hadn't given me the check! Food was good, but not worth the hype. Wings are INSANELY spicy, and I like spice
Margot MazurMay 12, 2014
Explain to me how this place does not have guacamole or sangria. Listen, yall, just go to Benny's on 6th. This place is hella over-hyped.
Kevin PhanDecember 26, 2014
Get the chicken liver starter!
Pueblo Viejo TequilaFebruary 16, 2016
When you visit Mission Cantina, start by ordering a delicious cocktail mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
Dan HarrisonAugust 26, 2015
The margaritas here are fantastic
Rachel BJuly 16, 2014
Mexican/ Chinese from San Francisco. Fun vibes.
Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 30, 2015
If you are in Mission Cantina, try a real Mexican taste, order a Spicy Paloma mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
Alex GodinNovember 23, 2013
Delicious. More subtle flavors than Mission Chinese.
Kevin GrantNovember 16, 2016
Atmosphere good, food decent, price sucks, 18 bucks for a decent burrito is a lot. The guacamole was real good, but not nearly enough.
Max KoehlerJuly 21, 2016
Fish tacos
Saif DiaJune 11, 2016
Menu keeps on changing, but keeps on getting pricier
Paull YoungDecember 20, 2013
Best thing about this place: friendly Australian hostess
Pueblo Viejo TequilaApril 4, 2016
The Easter colors reflect in a Margarita mixed with Pueblo Viejo. Get yours here at Mission Cantina!
christian svanes koldingOctober 19, 2014
curiously delightful food, curiously abominable service.
Trip HosmerApril 22, 2014
Been here 5+ times
Quite frankly the closest burritos to SF I've had out here. Hooked.
Vivienne GucwaSeptember 2, 2014
Delivery: abysmal. Order was 30 min late. Called: person said delivery guy was carrying several orders for 1/2 hour. Waited another 20 min. Got it. Order was wrong. Sigh. Food meh, awful service.
PhilOctober 18, 2015
Ordered take out carnitas burrito, got mystery meat chunks. Maybe chicken...?
Nicky DigitalDecember 28, 2013
Try the secret Twin Peaks tacos!

Beef tartare on point
