My husband loves this spot so while we were near he had to take us to try them out. Typically he comes during the week for work and they have a lunch buffet which I'm sure is what they're best at because I was not fully impressed at all with our dinner on a Saturday night. The restaurant is humongous and beautifully decorated with vibrant colors. Service was okay but didn't feel very welcoming. They have complimentary chips and salsa which he bragged about but our visit the salsa was overly salty, unfortunately. My chicken meal was dry so I started eating off the chicken fajitas my son ordered and it was better. I'm guessing the cheese enchiladas my husband gets were great since he devoured his plate. I had high hopes especially when we drove 2 hours out of our way to try them but we may have visited on a bad day. I know my husband will keep coming so I'll definitely have to try them again possibly during the lunch buffet and hopefully I'll love them like he does. read more

I just wasn't feeling this place. Maybe it's what I had. I had enchiladas and sides. But it just didn't hit. The drinks are okay. You get a lot and the staff is very friendly. But the food was a miss for me. The restaurant itself looked pretty neat inside and there's plenty of seats. Maybe I'll have to go back for a different meal. I got the La Mision special. However, it was very affordable read more

To be honest, more like a solid 3, but it was my first time and maybe I ordered wrong. The atmosphere was fun, energetic and inviting. Service was attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was just ok. I ordered the Tampiquena, which is a 3/4 inch ribeye smothered in grilled peppers and onions with a cheese enchilada, rice and beans. The ribeye was cooked well to a medium rare but most likely didn't rest. As a result, the entire plate was soupy. The margarita was a bit on the sweet side but I like mine more sour so not their fault. I'd go back and order differently next time. read more

La Mision !! Mexican Restaurant / Awesome food plus great atmosphere & beautiful!! Eddie Ray Barela , I love it!!

La Mision represents the best quality Mexican food in Midland. I've eaten at many of the popular places, but my taste buds belong to La Mision! The buffet allows patrons an opportunity to find a favorite. Chile Verde, asado, fajitas, and enchiladas all taste wonderful, and the cooks and service staff keep the buffet full. Want to order off the menu? La Mision has multiple options to satisfy your cravings! read more

The service and ambiance was great now they should get their food to match that.... I didn't enjoy the food at all..... My 11 year old son always eats the rice at Mexican restaurants and the face he made while chewing La Mision's rice was quite disappointing.... The sopapilla was even nasty.... I drank all of my sweet tea, something I never do.... read more

I enjoy dining here! Staff & management are good hard working people. Food is very good.

I'm letting my oldest granddaughter write this review. She is super excited to write her first review. Here it goes. I loved the cheese quesadillas. This is the second best restaurant I've ever been to! And I love the decoration. It was very pretty! read more

As I hate to bash this place I have to. Really great atmosphere as it looks like you're in a Mexico City type of restaurant. The buffet looked lackluster but a steal if you're hungry. I had a smothered steak fajita burrito with red sauce. Sauce tasted like it was from a can, and the steak was just rubbery. Tasted like a pepper bomb. All I could taste was black pepper. The service? Oh boy. Have fun with that. If you want to go to the Dennys of Mexican food? This is your spot. read more

Very busy Mexican restdurant in Midland, TX close to the hotel district and very brightly colored ambiance. There were even colored tiles in the toilets.The food was pretty good and reasonably priced. We had a party of 6 and it took about 20 minutes to be seated on a Thursday night. I had beef enchiladas with charro beans and rice. The portion was good and tasty with the red sauce. Service was prompt and accurate. Will visit again read more

Do not listen to the negative reviews, I have bypassed this place on numerous trips to Midland. The food is amazing, the service is amazinger!!!! Best crispy chicken tacos outside of Mexico!!!! I should have ordered more. My only negative was the red sauce on the enchiladas, very smokey and had a little bite to it, some sour cream cut it - I'll go verde next time. Our waitress was awesome, kept the cold beers coming. Can't wait to return!!! read more

I read other reviews and just thought that they couldn't really be THAT bad, but I was wrong. The food was awful. Not just bad, but awful. I couldn't finish my plate and had absolutely NO desire to take it to go. Save yourself the wait and head over to Rosa's (not my favorite, but 100 times better than La Mision.) I was so sorry I recommended this place to my husband to meet for lunch. What a waste of time and money. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. read more

Best waitress I've ever had! Ambiance is fantastic. Food was delicious, more authentic then tex mex. I don't understand all the 1 star reviews. We will return...I dont give 5 stars often! read more

The ladies at the bar were just crazy stupid busy and still keeping it real. The salsa was good. The grilled pork chops were very tasty!!! The beans were kinda basic but the rice was herby. Sitting at the bar makes it hard to not want every drink the bartenders were making as they all looked amazing! It was a 1 hour waiting time so I sat at the bar for dinner. read more

Favorite Mexican restaurant in Midland. The lunch buffet is always great! Fast service and friendly staff.

If you're craving, authentic Mexican cuisine, look no further. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the warm aromas of freshly made tortillas, and fajitas. The owner is always there and very personable. read more

Very Entertaining Restaurant! Chips & Salsa came out quick with great flavors and a salsa refill! Started off surprised to find a Maker's Mark Mule to drink! SOLD As I enjoyed the chips & salsa the menu choices were impressive. Press the chili rellenos but opted for Tacos Al Pastor and a Picadillo Taco (ground beef). The Al Pastor was a surprise with the pineapple chunks, diced onion, cilantro and Spanish sauce. Nice heat, bold al pastor but the tortillas were a little over done. Ranchero Beans... best in Midland! Plenty of food, fair prices and worth another stop next time I am in Midland! Enjoy it. Waitress didn't miss a beat and was enjoying her job! Thanx read more

This place was pretty good. Probably one of the best in Midland. The inside was pretty and clean. Our waitress was very nice. The food was yummy. The queso is very plain but when you add the salsa to it it was better. read more

I sat at the bar and the service was great. I ordered the chile con queso. There was absolutely no chile or an other veggie in the queso. It was straight cheese from the can. Hard pass. Ordered the 3 tacos with only beans. Beans needed a lot of love too. A bit of salt and here we go. The tacos needed something too. I asked if they had any salsa hotter than what they give you when you first sit down. Now, that salsa was the highlight of the dinner. The tacos were good but they used a ton of spices in the meat, good thing I had the bland beans and hot salsa. read more

Again this place does not disappoint, great service and the food is always delicious. I had just arrived in Midland for a few days and was looking for a place to grab lunch, it's close to my hotel and have eaten a few times. I was greeted and seated promptly, the servers were courteous and friendly. I love their menu because they have a little bit for every kind of food types, vegetarian, meat, lovers, or for the people who like to eat light, I decided to have the fajita salad with beef and so glad I did. The chips that they bring to your table are nice and warm and crisp, the salsa is delicious. The steak they used in the fajita salad was so tender and seasoned perfectly, they didn't overdo it with the guacamole on top, and the nacho chips in the salad were nice and crisp and the cheese was perfect. If you want a good place with a good atmosphere and delicious Mexican food try this place out. I have always had good service and food here. read more

Worst place possible. Food was just trash. This is a first and last time coming here. Flavor is way off. It's not Mexican food at all. There is no sazon no authentic flavor. Pretty much a place people come to eat that have wives that can't cook. So the next best place is here. Trust me. Don't come here. read more

Food was nasty and over priced was better when it was downtown Owner/ manager is just nasty Never again will we be going there

Food is a 3-star but the service is a 1-star, especially at the bar. Sat down for a full 5 minutes before even being acknowledged. And then someone came after me and was served a drink before even asking me. 3 people behind the bar.... Zero clue what they are doing. Won't be back. read more

Service was ok. Food was very average. But it's hard to find spectacular Mexican food. The decor and atmosphere was nice.

Very loud, they are SUPER BUSY every time I have been there, why? Because the food is great, and the service is awesome. I love the shrimp cocktail and mom loves the margaritas. read more

midddddd. the food was meh, typical mexican food that was overpriced. They did have a buffet line that was different and yummy. Service could've been better (it was a sunday and can imagine they were short staffed). no windows in the restaurant as well. read more

Wonderful Mexican breakfast. Great price and great ambience. Service was spectacular.

I'm surprised by the negative reviews. We were in from out of town and a friend suggested this place. Decor is so cute! We had a larger party and they would not seat us until everyone arrived. This is clearly stated at the front door. This may make some people upset but I totally get the rule. The margaritas were very good. They didn't taste like they weee made with one of those nasty mixes. We ordered the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and the steak fajita enchiladas with green sauce. Both were excellent. The chicken was not dry at all and seasoned nicely. Beans did not taste canned and the rice was also good. I like that they didn't put a bunch of extra stuff in their rice. I would definitely return here. read more

I liked the original location but this one still is relatively new . I have been twice, kind of an afterthought.

My wife and I went there and the server was very nice and efficient, the meal was not as good as it used to be. I will try something different the next time. read more

This used to be the best place to go in Midland. We went on April 17,I hadn't been in 3 years due to moving away and was so looking forward. I was very disappointed. My peach margarita was ice water, nothing more. The food was not extraordinary as it had been in the past. It's just like everyone else's now. Won't be back. read more

Lunch was really good. You don't see a lot of Mexican restaurants with a buffet, but the buffet was well laid out and tasty

Don't miss going here! Great service and food. Went on a Tuesday night and it was busy, this to me is an indication of a great place.

Service was ok. Chips and salsa were decent. House margarita on the rocks was weak. I ordered the Ricardo plate and upgraded to beef fajita and smothered in queso. This was an overall mistake. The queso was not good, barely even queso in my book. Some of the pieces of fajita meat were burnt. Will not return. Every Mexican restaurant I've tried in Midland has been a let down. Guess I'll stick to eating Mexican food when I'm home in Houston. read more

La Mision has been our favorite Midland eatery since 1984. We loved the old southside building but are pleased with the new location. The decor is awesome and the meals are consistently outstanding.

Moved to midland with high hopes of quality Mexican food, definitely went to the wrong place. Food tasted like it was straight from the can, our service didn't even greet us just asked if we wanted drinks about 2 seconds after we sat down. Didn't get chips and salsa or our drinks until our food came. Just terrible, go to an elementary school and you can get better Mexican food than this. Will not return read more

Sat at the bar and had wonderful margaritas and fantastic service. Very well priced. 4 stars because I thought the tacos were a bit dry but would definitely go back and try something else on the menu for sure. read more
