Mission Taco Joint

checkmarks

 

Mission Taco Joint is a unique Mexican restaurant that provides a trendy atmosphere and delicious food. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday. Tuesday through Saturday it runs from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. It’s located on Delmar Boulevard.

The chips and salsa are a must with two delicious salsas and warm tortilla chips. Plus, it comes with free refills. Another great appetizer is the chicken flautas with crisp flour tortillas filled with shredded chicken, corn, Chihuahua cheese, and drizzled with ancho BBQ sauce and Mexican crema. An order comes with four chicken flautas and are plenty big to eat as a meal or share.

As for the main course, The Three Little Piggies burrito is tasty and chocked full of ingredients including slow roasted pork shoulder, pork belly carnitas, chorizo queso, black beans, cilantro rice, pickled onion, and ancho BBQ sauce. The burrito is full of rich flavor. The tacos are also delicious. My favorite is the carne asada which has a wood-fire grilled flank steak, baby arugula, queso fresco, and avocado serrano sauce.

The staff is an eclectic group who are always friendly, efficient, and very accommodating. For instance, when we accidently ordered the wrong item the staff was understanding and took it off the bill without a fuss.

Overall, the food is outstanding and the atmosphere is great. I recommend Mission Taco Joint for a quick and casual dinner.
