Princess Jackie: By far the most amazing mexican I ever had! The Cali burrito, fish tacos and beef quesadilla were the best, the carnitas were a bit dry for my taste but still delicious. All the above for $20!
Jay C: Carne asada burrito, tamales and the t-shirts are the best
Amy C.: How many times in a week can you eat here?? I'm on 4 right now! Yum.

Mark Garza: Steak quesadilla is AWESOME. Get it. You're welcome.
Gaston Motola Acuna: One of my best findings in San Diego, great bar, great service, and their brunch food is just amazing. Try the pork belly Benedict, you'll love it.
Thrillist: hey have specials several nights a week like $2 Taco Tuesdays, Wing Wednesdays (flip a coin and get half off!), and from 8pm-close every Monday: play rock, paper, scissors for half off drinks. Read more.

Diosnegro Arcangel: Beef quesadillas are an aphrodisiac
Ed Belmonte: Love this place, spicy pop corn , cocktails, good food!!!
Scott R.: You can actually come here on a weekend (or any day), watch a movie and avoid the throngs of teenyboppers. Sure it's a little pricey but did I mention you can avoid the throngs of teenyboppers?

Daniel Altbaum: This is my favorite Mexican Restaurant on the planet. Delicious food, great salsa, and everything is made fresh. You have to try it, there are a lot of locations.
Roody K: california burrito! U must try it 👌
Serious Eats: The carne asada fries topped with ribbons of steak, cotija cheese, and guac is a great option here. The small size ($6) is plenty, even if you're sharing.

Courtyard San Diego: Breakfast at The Mission shouldn’t be missed! They focus on creating affordable, healthy dishes with an artistic flair. Many of their dishes are Mexican inspired, and also vegetarian/vegan conscious!
P D: You know what, asshole? Don't even fuck around. Get yourself a Mission Croissant. And if Sharon is your server, give her a big fucking tip. Seriously. She's awesome.
Desirae: Alright guys, here's the insider skinny on the mission. Expect a wait on the weekends unless you come either before 8:30 or after 2. Snag a spot at the coffee bar for a shorter wait. Don't get hangry!
