If you're looking for a Mexican restaurant with an easy delicious menu choices this is the place to go. Not to mention their classic margaritas and tortilla chips with a varied selection of salsas. Whether eating inside or out as weather permits you'll experience their friendly efficient staff. The restaurant is nestled off the city block with very unique lighting towards the indoor dining area. read more

The service was phenomenal, the food was good, and the patio was so nice! The ONLY thing they lack is Aguas Frescas, otherwise I absolutely would recommend if you're craving Mexican food! And that's coming from a SoCal Native. read more

Love the atmosphere of this place unfortunately it's always a crappy employee that makes it bad for the business. Went to order spicy pork taco on the menu and i said 1 al pastor she said we don't have that. She was pretty cold bit becca going hard with her neck tattoo like east block is the ruffest place to be from . Maybe a cultural lesson on mexican culture and the language you're representing if you're going to work at place that takes pride in its food and tradition. read more

This place is well worth the cost. Even the nachos are a religious experience, and to me nachos are usually decent but rarely remarkable. The tacos are some of my favorites anywhere. Braised beef, crispy fish, and spicy pork & pineapple are my top three. The braised beef quesadillas are also out of this world and the burritos are pretty top shelf as well. read more

Ordered Friday night August 1st. After $36 dollars worth of delivery I was still hungry & ended up making a sandwich. More clarity over how many tacos are in an order (1) + size (small). And more protein in the tacos please. Thanks. read more

I went with my partner who has a gluten sensitivity. They assured us (on the phone before coming and when we were there in person) that they would be careful and had gluten free items. We have been to Mission Cantina Amherst before without an issue. However, they seemed to be much less careful at this location and he got very sick from the food after. If you have celiac or gluten allergies I wouldn't recommend this location because they don't seem to have a good sense of whats gluten free or take care to make sure you don't get glutened. The food was great but getting sick after does ruin the experience. read more

This was such a hidden gem! I almost walked past it, but the glittering lights inside brought me in and they did NOT disappoint! The food was delicious and the staff were super knowledgeable about the spice levels of various dishes, suggesting food for each of our preferences! We had the queso fundito which was DELICIOUS (it was a mild spice for most, but a little too spicy for me to order again lol), and I had the loaded nachos with carnitas and they were some of the best nachos I have ever had! The nachos were extra interesting because they are full tortillas, not tortilla chips, that the toppings were placed on, and the carnitas were super mild on spice! The only thing that was a little lackluster was the drinks were quite sweet, so if you are someone who wants a more sour than sweet margarita, I would recommend asking for it less sweet. Overall, this was such an amazing restaurant and I will definitely be coming back here again and again! read more

Took my family to Mission for dinner in Amherst. We started out with the chip and assorted homemade salsas and a liter of blood orange margaritas. The margarita was so good. We also very much enjoyed the salsas. All of us got taco platters of some sort and the flavors were fantastic. No complaints from anyone. Service was great and a good time was had by all. Will definitely recommend. read more

We went to the Easthampton location with friends from out of town. We always order takeout but this was a great opportunity to try the outdoor seating which always looked festive. West coast friends found the burritos to be excellent, my fish tacos were good as always (though not my favorite in the area). My partner's salad would have been pretty good had it not had so many micro greens that had gone by (ie slimy). Our server never asked about the meal, even when she left so much intact. I find their menu to be pretty limited though unlike other reviewers, it clearly and pleasantly states no substitutions so I am fine with that. We might be back but there are so many other great local choices, my vote will be to go elsewhere. read more

Excellent experience now that they've revamped the outdoor seating. Sam was stellar! Margaritas are consistently strong and delicious. The food is well- seasoned, authentic, and served fresh. Love this spot. read more

What a lame place. The menu is uninspired, bland and limited, and the staff is even worse. Been there several times hoping things will improve, but every time it's clear, the staff doesn't want the business. Rudest people in Eastampton read more

obscenely overpriced. this is a basic Mexican place. nothing special. but they charge like it's 2050. expect to pay over $30/person, not including drinks!! we got day old chips, 3 tacos and quesadillas. that's it. $60. OMG what are they thinking! this place is on the blacklist for knowingly price gauging customers. f-them. there are many places around and you'll pay normal prices (like, half). we hope to see this place out of business soon or a new owner with his head out of his own ace. what a bunch of dopes. get out of the valley. read more

There should be a sign on the gate that informs customers that children are not welcome. There are no child friendly options for drinks or food and our server made several comments that made us feel unwelcomed. Food as always was good, but was told that on weekends, their drinks are premade and I could not alter my order. read more

Amazing place. We go there often and there's nothing we don't love. Super nice staff, very authentic Mexican food. read more

As the newest installment of Mission Cantina (Called "Mission Taco" or simply "Mission") here in my little town I just gotta say that I'm THRILLED to have delicious tacos, margarita's, and burritos in walking distance of my house. This may do dangerous things to my waistline. My partner and I stopped in on Friday night. We were swiftly seated at the bar and served drinks and chips. We had the Guacamole, the Salsa Fresca, and the Salsa Verde as dips. The Guacamole was wonderful, tasty. Mild. Creamy. The Salsa Verde is my favorite. It's reminiscent of coriander chutney. The chips were served warm. And before we even finished them our entrees were up. I got the nightly special a crispy chicken taco platter. It came with 3 tacos and rice and beans. It was very filling. The crispy chicken was well cooked. The beans and rice were delicious. My partner had the fish tacos. They were also crispy. She very much enjoyed them. I had two margaritas. The House Marg (Mission Margarita) and the Don Julio. Of the two of them I really liked the Mission Margarita. The Don was good, too, but it had a much stronger flavor. The place was hopping, but they moved things along really well. There were usually seats available, and the only time I saw people waiting for a table was a party of 5. The staff was friendly. The space is very nice since the recent remodel. It is tight, and seating is at a premium. My only complaint (seeing as I am so close) is that they don't have a more streamlined way to order take out. And the first time I called in I was told that take out was not going to be available for an hour or so. But, this was also early in the opening of the restaurant, so I imagine that will change as they get things more settled. I will, absolutely, be back. read more

I'm surprised they do not allow any substitutions or modifications to their menu, there are several things I would love to try but couldn't as I can't eat onions. The food was great but the service almost completely ruined the experience for us. We walked in at 8:15 knowing they closed at 9 and expecting to eat quickly. We asked for seats inside and were told they were full. We could see through the window that there were many open seats so we asked if we could be moved inside once some spots opened up,as it was a chilly evening. They said no, that they were no longer seating inside. About ten minutes after that, a couple walked up to the hostess and she asked them if they would like to sit at the bar or table and took them inside. Very frustrating to be able to see them sitting inside enjoying their meal after we were told no. We were never given any explanation to why they were allowed in after us but it definitely left us with a sour taste and the feeling that we were not welcome read more

Hands down best Mexican restaurant in The Valley. Great ambiance great food great service and reasonably priced. Always a treat to come here. read more

Amazing food, cool ambiance. Posole is delish, but watch out for the heat. Burrito is massive!! Even the West Coast family approved.

The only place for fresh tacos! My fav are the fish tacos! Food is excellent! Drinks are so good! House margarita's especially. No mixes here!! Service is friendly and professional! Ambiance is authentic Mexican. The best Mexican restaurant in Western Mass. read more

I highly recommend this great little Mexican styled restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing and the drink selection was very good too. The bar tender was very personable and the ambiance was great. Definitely worth the visit. read more

I was blown away by Mission Cantina. Super cute addition to downtown Easthampton. Their outdoor seating is an awesome vibe with lights and an outdoor bar. The food was incredible! Best tacos I've had in western MA (good portions too). I highly recommend stopping by for a taco -- they also have takeout beers & margs (your welcome!) read more

Mission Taco - Chicken, Pork & Pineapple, and Carnitas Tacos - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

I love the food and ambience at the restaurant. The missing stars are for our Door Dash experience with them. Twice we've requested no cilantro, onions or pico on some tacos. Twice they came with all three. Not a couple of bits that fell in by mistake but the generous amount that normally comes in them. The second time it happened we called to alert them and the person on the phone was very defensive and didn't apologize saying they were very busy and that we can't expect for completely onion free dishes. It's too bad because the chicken enchiladas with mole are great, but going forward we'll stick with la Veracruzana. read more

Great food pleasant atmosphere wonderful drinks. Service is superb. Love sitting outside in the summer!

I work on cottage street and this is such a bonus to the street. The tacos are unreal and the girls over there are wicked nice. Fish tacos are such a gem but the beef brisket ones they have on special here and there are lights out. Must have for any Taco lovers out there! read more

Mission Taco - Beef brisket taco platter - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

I waited a long time for Mission Taco in Easthampton MA to reopen after COVID and when they did their opening time of 4:00 was inconvenient fir me. But, I finally reached out to order I had high expectations based on what I had heard and read about their food. When I picked my order I was surprised the restaurant did nit smell much like a Mexican place. I am from Texas where there is some of the best Mexican and Tex-Mex food you can find anywhere. Neither did the food smell like what I expected either. As I dug into the shredded pork and brisket tacos I was shocked to find flavors not associated with tacos. There were chopped cucumbers and very few, if any peppers. It tasted all wrong. If I didn't know better it might have seemed like a whole different style of "fresh Mex." The Rice was blah and the black beans not much better. The chicken taco was the best of them, though nothing I would cross the street for. The price was way above average at $6 each and $6 for a couple of tiny containers were beyond what it was worth. There are better hispanic-style restaurants around here and in Northampton that are superior and more reasonably priced. read more

These days, all reviews and experiences are through the lens/POV of the new-normal: pandemic safety for ourselves and those around us, workers included! We liked it! One of our first "emergences" was on a rainy Thursday, and we had the choice of take-out, or sitting under the big umbrella. We waited for a table in the umbrella, and the worker cleaned the table after the previous guests left. We had already ordered our beer ($4/cup) and our meal to sit-down, and a to-go order for lunch tomorrow! Our tacos were great - small for $4 in Western Mass, but they were laden and tasty. We needed three each for a meal, and it was enough for us. Spicy pork and pineapple, and carnitas were great, and the crispy fish was great because of my dousing it in the lime-juice I love. Quesadilla and burritos were the to-gos, and were good. Mexican food is never as good cold/heated as when fresh, but still substantial tasty meals for lunch at home. Total for it all was $62, and we tipped $18. Total of $80 for 6 tacos, burrito, quesadilla, and two beers, plus tip. read more

So excited to have decent Latin food nearby! The veggie enchiladas are delicious and my new go-to. Hubs loved the pork and pineapple taco.

The complete disregard for the global pandemic in terms of public health safety protocols at this establishment is astounding. The food is okay. read more

The authenticity of this food is below par with national Texmex chains. That said, prices are those of an metropolitan full-service restaurant, yet the experience is more of an elevated Taco Bell. Skip it. Bueno y Sano is better. read more

They have terrible Covid awareness. None of the waiters wear masks and they stand over you and talk loudly. We sat at the bar and they told us we cannot order food at the bar. But soon there were two other parties that were merrily eating at the bar. Not sure why we were excluded. read more

One of my favorite places for Mexican. Their braised beef nachos are the best I've had. The crispy fish tacos are also the best I've had. I've also had the chicken mole enchiladas- delicious. Top of the line margaritas. One of my favorite restaurants in town! read more

The food is bland and gross, and the service is absolutely terrible. I've never been treated so rudely by someone who works for tips. (I tipped anyway). Don't waste your time here though. It's inexcusably nasty in every way imaginable. read more

Four stars for the quality of the food and the taste. Coming from the west coast it is hard to find good Mexican food but this place has good flavor and amazing margos. The only thing is you will be dropping a pretty penny for it. Food for one person will a margarita will run you close to $40! read more

Always great. The white queso needs to be on the perm at menu and the steak tacos need to come back to where they belong.

I've gotten take out from this place a few times and it's amazing! So fresh and light tasting. I love their enchiladas. It's a great serving size. Would highly recommend. read more

Mission Taco - Veggie and Rojo Enchilada - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

Food very good, drinks not so good. We like the atmosphere. Server was nice. In the winter they have half price tacos.

If you want to support businesses that follow mask mandates for their employees (mandate re-instated Sept. 2021), unfortunately this is NOT the place to go. I got a very rude response from the bartender when I asked why she, the cooks, and the kid who handed me my take-out order were not wearing masks. I love the food, but unfortunately we will have to take our business elsewhere. If you feel similarly about wearing masks, I would advise you to do the same. read more

Great burritos + Maskless staff = never again. How is this good for your business?!?

The. Absolute. Best. For starters, the entire dim red-lit vibe created everything I didn't know I wanted in a restaurant environment. Secondly, the queso fundido and guac? SOLID. Third, my smothered carnitas burrito was *chefs kiss* QUE MAGNIFIQUE. All paired with a house marg, how could you not be into it. 10/10 will return so many more times. read more
