Do I get a prize for being the first review?? I'm…read moresurprised no one has put a review for this place yet! We walked in and were greeted and seated right away! The server was super nice and quick with our food and drinks! The restaurant was clean and organized! Not chaotic. The food was good, not the best Mexican food I've had but pretty good! I ordered the pollo flautas and a sangria that was bigger than my head! The beans were a little salty, the chips were a little too well done (extra crunchy). Overall, it was a good experience and I'd definitely come back again and try another dish! Maybe their sushi?? Did I mention they have a couple sushi rolls on the menu?? Can't wait to try those next!

The atmosphere is nice. Clean, not too loud, friendly staff greeting you, and a beautiful bar as the focal point. We were sat inside near a beautiful fireplace... we were by the open door that led to the patio so it was a bit chilly and would have been nice if the fireplace were on lol. Our server was very polite and didn't rush us when deciding on what we wanted to order. There were a few questions, and he answered them all without hesitation. I ordered a carne asada chimichanga and I wish one of my questions would have been if it came wet or not. Just in case you're wondering, it comes wet. It's my fault for assuming and not asking. If I would have known, I would have ordered it dry. Honestly it was like a regular wet burrito and not a chimichanga. Because of the sauce, it took all of the crispness away. The sauce on top had very good flavor, and the meat was tender and delicious. My daughter ordered shredded beef tacos and shredded chicken tacos came out instead. She wasn't going to say anything but the server who delivered our food noticed her face and asked if there was something wrong. I told him she ordered beef and got chicken. He was so sweet and apologetic and within minutes fresh hot beef tacos were in front of her, and she loved them! I'm mentioning this not because of the mixup, but because of how quickly it was resolved and how nice both servers were. My hubs always gets the fajita trio. Beef, chicken, and shrimp. He has told me in the past how much he loves this dish and tonight I got to see this affection firsthand haha.... within minutes his plate was clean!!! I managed to snag a shrimp without losing a finger and now I know why he loves it so much! The flavor was really good and the shrimp was plump and perfectly cooked. The food came out after a good amount of time after we ordered and we never felt rushed. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. This is a place that we will frequent from now on whenever we come to visit.

My last visit my friend and I decided to share appetizers so we could try a variety of items and try a few things on the menu. Everything was so tasty! The onion rings were crispy and came with bbq sauce, one of my fav items we got! TIP: It is a good option to order for a large group, it is a large portion for $10. We also shared the burrata and tapenade, I like that it came with balsamic glaze for a savory and sweet effect. We got the Mac and cheese and added short rib. It was a really large portion too! It was as $15 for the Mac and + $9 for the short rib I believe which I didn't think was a bad price at all for what we given. We had a ton left over which will last us 2 days as a side dish for dinner later on. Buffalo wings came with 11 wings, they were garlicky and the buffalo sauce had great flavor. Overall this is always a great spot to drop by for dinner, drinks, and/or appetizers. It's easy going here, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is delicious.

Mission West is the real thing!…read more There are dive bars that look like dive bars and they serve crappy drinks. Then there are bars that look like dive bars but they serve excellent drinks.. well-made cocktails, even in the correct glasses and the gorgeous cubed ice that looks like glass and has no bubbles. Those are the kinds of drinks only bartenders who care about the drinks they put out there create, and those are the ones who work at Mission West. The location being near a convenience store and busy street gives the bar the appeal of a dive bar but don't let that fool you. Mission West is this dark moody place that's narrow with decent seating and always a good set of customers to talk to. The specialty drinks are solid. Love their manhattan, paper plane, and espresso martini. If you're special, they may even give you one of their fancy stickers.

Food - 3, service - 3, ambiance - noisy casual…read more We've been here several times in both small and larger groups, weekdays and weekends. We like to support local family run businesses and the food has been good in the past. The wait staff are consistently friendly and mostly competent. We've been pleased that when asked about gluten-free options each time, the waiters know about 90% of the menu off the top of their heads and aren't afraid to say they need to ask the kitchen when there's an item they're not sure about, rather than guess the answer, as has happened at other restaurants. Saturday we had a group of 8 that were seated at 4:45, so not exactly rush hour. We finally had to ask for water after 15 min. It was close to an hour from when we placed our orders before the food began arriving. I had informed the waiter of an onion allergy and requested no onions anywhere on the plate, as well as subbing extra veggies for the pasta. My food arrived with onions throughout the veggies. While I appreciate that they quickly took the plate back to fix it, the new plate had only a single serving of veggies which were so undercooked that even with the steak knife if was difficult to cut, and not great to chew either. I quickly gave up and saved it to finish cooking at home. Another guest ordered the tuna fresh catch rare, and it arrived between medium and medium rare, which was quite disappointing. But at least his veggies were closer to al dente. Another small irritation was that they brought out bread and olive oil, but there were only 5 pieces for our group of 8 so we asked for another one for our end of the table, and they charged us. While we recognized many staff as longtime employees, both the food and the service didn't live up to previous visits, which is even more disappointing because we brought new people to experience their food. Given this experience, it'll probably be awhile before we go back.
