    Great service and good, as usual. After getting a basket of mixed chips from the runner, I asked the server for just flour chips, as I always do. This time I got charged $1.25 for the extra basket. I asked about it and she said they’re starting to charge for the 2nd basket. I suggested that the runner ask if we want corn or flour chips or mixed before dropping them off. We only wanted one basket, not two! She did take it off the bill but it could have been avoided if we were asked initially. Otherwise, it’s still the best service in town. The food came out in less than 10 minutes and the place was packed.

    Although the restaurant was very busy, our server took good care of us. He was amazing! We were celebrating a birthday tonight and he brought a sparkling candle! The food was delicious, great portions, and perfect guacamole! The bread pudding is super tasty! Nice ambience. Thank you The Mission!

    Would highly recommend the Fish and Chips and the onion rings. They were so good. We intend to go back again for the same items. The fish was not heavily battered and was so tasty. We got a ton of fries to consume, so many we had to take some home. The winner was the onion rings--lightly battered and crispy.
