    Potato, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Burrito
    Ana-Gabriella C.

    Love this place. Staff is always efficient and kind, food is delicious and hot with so many options, and the drive-thru is my favorite thing ever lol. I always get the potato, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito. The fish tacos are yummy, and the churros are like the ones from Jack in the Box, but bigger. Whenever I order takeout they package everything very nicely and I appreciate that.

    This place has become quite disappointing. The service is still very good, but the food has dropped significantly in quality. I took my mother here for dinner one evening and her fish tacos were freezing cold, which is a safety hazard considering that cold fish uncooked is quite dangerous. She had to take it back in order a whole brand new order. My burrito was unfortunately cold, which was not promising. This is unfortunate because this place was one of my favorite taco shops in town and now it has let me down. The ambience is still very quaint and casual but the food I am afraid has suffered greatly.

    Carnitas Taco, Fish Taco, Churro
    Charlie L.

    I've been obsessed with the fish tacos here for about 5 months. I thought I was over it, but nope. I usually go to the drive thru, but on an occasional Taco Tuesday I will eat in the restaurant. Sometimes on Taco Tuesday I save up on room in the rumbly tumbly so I can also get the carnitas taco (juicy and delicious) and a churro too. Is it fancy? No, but I don't need it to be. It's solid goodness that's relatively easy on the pocketbook and reliably tasty. The lady at the drive through window is efficient even though the food prep sometimes takes a minute. Honestly, I don't mind the wait because don't we all need to slow down a bit anyway? I appreciate the time to just sit there and do nothing aside from dream about the taco(s) I'll soon be enjoying. Love me some Oscar's.

    Chimichanga Combo and Carnitas Taco
    Sharon I.

    Delivered hot and fresh! Ordered food via Uber Eats and the food was delivered still hot. I ordered a side of carnitas taco which I hate to say but it was really dry and lacked flavor. I really wanted to like it but just couldn't. As for the chimichanga, it was deep fried beautifully, the shredded beef was seasoned nicely but wasn't my favorite. The overall plate was great and hearty for the price. 3 Yass from me.

    This is quite a pleasant find after my visit to my eye doctor next door. It is a modest, no-frills taco shop but the food is excellent and the service is very friendly. I ordered a fish taco and a carne asada taco with rice and beans. Everything was really tasty and the tacos were generously filled. Definitely worth a visit if you are in this area of North Scottsdale.

    Continue to choose this as my number one "fast takeout taco spot". The tacos are delicious - crunchy, full, flavorful (shredded chicken, shredded beef and birria are my three favs), the chips and cheese is delicious, the breakfast burritos are amazing, and I love their red and green salsas. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for fast, tasty tacos!

    Taco Tuesday ! $3.50 tacos . In town once or twice a year and love this place for its bean rice and cheese burritos. Today is taco Tuesday so I picked up 2 shredded beef hard shell tacos , cheese bean and rice burrito, and shredded beef enchilada combo with rice and beans . Delish ! Even at 9 am in the morning so tasty and flavorful . My daughter visited and had a burrito frozen and flew back to New York .... Defrosted when she got home and she said it tasted the same ! Nice staff clean inside and easy to find . Also has a drive thru for those in a hurry .

    Great food, the guac and chips are awesome but the 3 tacos for $12.99 can't be beat. Scottsdale is best location so far. Super clean too

    Got a chip with six layers!

    First off, the customer service was amazing, the lady was so nice and got our orders perfectly. Second, the food was amazing! I got the Arizona burrito and It was so jam-packed with flavor and food I couldn't finish it! The music was good, as it was a Mexican restaurant, it played Spanish music. This was my first review and I am happy it is a 5 star, hope whoever is reading this has a nice day!

    Do they serve flour tortilla tacos?

    No not typically. I bet if you ask nicely they might make an accommodation for you.

    Do they have menudo on weekends?

    The Oscar's located on Scottsdale Road does not serve menudo. You might mention this to the Scottsdale location and they may consider it. At one time the Phoenix location served menudo on the weekends. Call them in advance as the pandemic may… Read more

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.

While they don't have a…read moreparking, it's located in the heart of Old Town so parking is free on the street and in most surface lots. I found a spot in the surface lot right across the street from one of the most popular Mexican restaurants in town. Ambiance (4/5): The Mission is a nice restaurant. There's a small patio in front and a large patio out back. Sit at the outdoor patio if you can pull it off. Inside is great too, and there's nice artwork both inside and outside. The only issue? It's a popular restaurant and they try to pack in as many people as possible so space is at a premium. That also means that if you come at a peak hour, like we did, it's going to be pretty loud. Service (4/5): There was a wait when we arrived and the bar was full (first come, first served). Luckily, a group was leaving right when I lingered by the bar and we were able to snag the seats. The bartender did a pretty good job taking care of us. There was room for improvement as far as her efficiency and checking in, but overall, given how busy the restaurant was, pretty good. Drinks (4.5/5): The Mission has an interesting cocktail list. As you'd expect, it's tequila-focused but there's a good variety. You'll find creative cocktails which is always big in my book. Plus margaritas like prickly pear margaritas. I went with the correndo na chuva which has cachaca, passion fruit, lemongrass, sherry, and lime juice. Cachaca is a Brazilian liqueur which you don't see in many places so this was a treat. It was a refreshing cocktail. Lots of spicy cocktails are available, too. Food (4/5): While the brunch menu is pretty extensive, I think there's a clear winner: the all-you can eat whole roasted pig out. For $19, and only on Saturdays and Sundays during brunch, it's a steal of a deal. You get pineapple roasted shoulder and pork belly carnitas tacos served with your choice of one of five sauces. There's a little buffet stand where a member of their staff will make the tacos for you. I had about 10 of them and they hit the spot! Nice variety of sauces so I tried all of them except for one (two spicy for my blood) and you can request flour tortillas if you prefer that over the corn tortillas they have. Between the two proteins, I thought the pork shoulder was more flavorful and tender. It's no surprise that The Mission Old Town has some of the most Yelp reviews in town. It's a popular restaurant. Just make sure to make a reservation or stop by outside of peak hours or there's a good chance you'll have a wait.
