This is a cool spot to stop into if you want to chill, have good vibes, and good food. The waiter, Sam, was super cool and nice. Definitely recommend
I came a cross this trendy gem while visiting, The Loop. The minute you walk in, a hostess was ready to seat you. A server was ready to take your order, but since it was my first visit, the server was helpful and I was able to order. The wait time was rather fast, and suddenly I'm biting into the freshest and spicy hot tacos. I also had their Margarita that paired well with the tacos. The ambience was warm, inviting, and pretty hip for a taco joint. Check them out next time you visit, The Loop, it's worth it!
went last night for their new late night happy hour. we got there around 9:25 and the servers were still eager to seat us and put our food in despite closing at 10. i asked about the late night happy hour which for drinks seemed to just be $3 shots and canned beers. i got french fries and pina colada and my bf got some tacos. the french fries were really really good they had a certain spice to them. as i kept eating them my mouth ended up being on fire. and not sure what the sauce was but it was super good as well. the chips were a mixture of stale and OK to eat. for anyone not familiar with the delmar loop area: it is street parking. as a girl i wouldn't go here by myself at this hour of the night. walking to the restaurant my boyfriend and i passed multiple sketch things resulting in him walking back to the car alone to come pick me up when we were finished. this street is also VERY poorly lit for how many popular attractions and shops are here
One of my favorite taco spots and a must visit whenever I'm in St. Louis. They have a wide range of options (including vegetarian) and have tacos on both corn and flour shells. I always get their chips and either salsa / guac to start and then a few tacos (ranging from 3 to 5 depending on how hungry I am - though I did get a weird look when I ordered 5 before). Service is generally pretty solid but the place does get very crowded during prime hours (and thus a bit slower). Seats are decently far apart so you can't hear other people's convos too much. It has quick food vibes vs. bougie dinner out, but it's such a solid option for some good quick food. My favorite taco by far is the portabella which has a meaty chunk of mushroom on the inside, some crunch from onion and lots of sauce. It's incredible. The fried fish is also good.
I visited this place a lot in the past. They used to have happy hour after ten which two dollar taco, now they do not have this deal anymore, which is probably why this place was not as busy on weekend night as it was in the past. We ordered tacos including my favorite Mango-Hop-Anero Shrimp tacos, Guacamole & chips, Carne Asada Fries, and Beef Birria. The food were great. The service was decent. The waitress took our orders and did check on us one time.
Came here with two girlfriends, couldn't quite decide on what to order so we ordered one of every taco on the menu and it was the best choice ever! This is an affordable way to satisfy many different people's palates and a fun way to test out the menu! Great for those who are at times indecisive like I was that night.
Always great food and drinks! Spicy Margarita is the perfect amount of spice and it's not too sweet. There are so many great options on the menu, you really can't go w
Lunch date with friend! Rounding up to 4 Stars. The good: Chips and guacamole: chips were fresh and guacamole was fresh with a lot of lime Baja fish taco: had it breaded, could have used a bigger piece of fish but great flavor from the sauce and queso Portobello mushroom taco: excellent even though I could have used more mushroom! The refried black been was a good base and the spicy fried onion straws were amazing Server was very nice! The "eh" Beef tinga taco: barely any tinga flavor, I actually thought it was just shedded beef or maybe pork Carne asada fries: good chunks of asada, but whole plate was dry (although it included a good portion of guacamole) Corn: didn't feel like fresh corn, more like frozen corn from Trader Joe's that they just added sauce to.
The house margarita is where it is at. The only thing they need Is a pitcher. You can also make it a spicy marg for a little extra kick. No free chips and salsa at this joint so I would just recommend skipping those all together. There are so many other yummmy things on the menu and the chips are nothing special. I got the California burrito smothered, the chicken was great with good smokey flavor. I would visit again. read more
Amazing tacos!! I love he waiting area a few doors down - however I wish they had told us when they said "25-30 min wait" that people who check in online bump ahead of you. We waited almost an hour. WORTH IT, but unexpected. Shrimp taco is amazing (I hate mango and I ended up ordering a second one!). The fish taco was good and the portobello taco was sooooo flavorful! The house margarita was delicious but go all in and get the jalepeño margarita!! Spicy but delicious! read more

My buddy decided to have a Monday out to the Loop at Mission Taco. I've heard the rave about this place and how amazing it was, I thought tacos sounded good off the bat so why the hell not? The location of this Mission Taco location is in the heart of the Loop which is one of my favorite places to go unwind. The interior of it was dim lit which I liked. It had more of a bar feel to it with your traditional tables and chairs and tables that were built for standing/mingling. It had a cool vibe to it. The service was all you could ask for. The hostess got us seated immediately. We had 2 servers tonight which is a plus. I assumed one was training for the night and they were both great. They came to the table frequently, just felt like at the wrong times. But hey, can't blame them for that. Service was what you'd expect. The menu was a focused menu which I liked. However, the prices were a little steep for the tacos. The tacos were pretty tiny and I would suggest 3-4 to fill abnormal person up. It could get costly. I got the Three Little Pigs burrito. I was expecting a lot more meat inside but got a lot of retried black beans instead. The flavors weren't anything to talk about and the meat was pretty dry. The guac was decent but didn't get to really enjoy it with it coming 3 minutes before our food. The price for the food was pretty outrageous for the value that you receive. It was tough to sign that check and not feel guilty. I felt remorse going there and wish I'd spent that money somewhere else. Overall, the place has a good vibe, okay food and poor value. Maybe it's just not for me. Thanks for reading. read more

Mission Taco is a taco joint in St. Louis. They have a great selection of tacos, even options for vegetarians. The food here was Excellent! From the chips and salsa to the burritos to the tacos, everything was most delicious. Great service 100% recommend read more
Before leaving St Louis we wanted to try something other than BBQ. We were so glad we opted for Mission Taco Joint. The BBQ Duck taco was filled with a variety of textures along with sweet and savory notes. This taco is quite memorable and will be a favorite of mine! read more

I went to school in STL (don't live there anymore), and I miss Mission Taco SO MUCH. Awesome Mexican spot that serves some of my favorite tacos anywhere. They have great margaritas, too. Tacos: my favorite is the baja fish (grilled, but fried is great too). Also love the carne asada. At the end of the day, you can't go wrong. Three tacos is about right for a meal. Get the guac -- it's awesome. The street corn is also great. Definitely recommend their late night happy hour, which starts at 10pm. Can't beat awesome $2 tacos! Make this a stop if you're out for a night on the Loop. read more

We sat at the bar for quick and friendly service. I would highly recommend the street corn as well as every single taco. They're a bit expensive but the food is excellent and I've never had a bad thing here. They have multiple locations as well which is great! read more

I had really been dying to try this place for a while now! Finally tried it last night with some friends. As soon as we got there, we were seated right away. They brought us water right away too which I appreciate. Love how the lights were dimmed and not bright. I loved how the menu wasn't too crazy, it had plenty of options but not too many. I started with the Queso Con Chorizo which was incredible, but hard to enjoy when you have to wait 20 mins for it to come out, then have your food come out 2 mins later. I hate that so much. I want to be able to enjoy my appetizer before my meal. Anyways, I also ordered the Brah'Rito, which is Carne asada, chipotle bacon, black beans, crema, chile-crusted potato fries, Chihuahua cheese, ancho sauce, topped with guac and pico and smothered in red and cheese sauce. I also got a Baja Grilled Fish Taco. Both items weren't even hot, fish was kind of cold, meat was kind of dry. To me, the food was a 3, and the service was definitely a 5, so that's why I'm giving this place 4 stars. I'm not rushing back here any time soon. This place is all hype, which was pretty much what I was expecting. read more

This is a nice spot to grab a quick SMALL bite. The tacos are ala carte and range from $3.50-$5 apiece (I think). Food was delicious but after spending $20 on tacos i still left hungry. Wasnt even close to full. Great taste not the best value in my opinion. read more

My previous experiences have been at the location in the Central West End and those made me a believer in Mission Taco. We were in town for a quick trip and decided to give this location a try on a Saturday for a late lunch. No waiting, walked right in and got a table and staff were there to help us right away. As with the CWE location, the service was impeccable. Quick, unobtrusive and helpful. Our server made my wife and son feel at ease and went out of her way to accommodate their dietary restrictions. Now that I've been to two locations in St. Louis, my expectations for the upcoming KC location are sky-high. Just make sure you bring the Plantation Rum and we'll get a long fine. read more

Mission Taco is one of the few spots in the loop where you can sit outside and enjoy some great food. Don't get me wrong, it's totally worth sitting inside but sometimes you just need to enjoy that good ole sun! Something I really like about Mission Taco is that even though it's Mexican the food isn't super greasy! I love Mexican food but sometimes I don't want to eat a bunch of grease--delicious or not. During my Saturday lunch visit I had the chips and salsa, grilled fish taco, fried fish taco, and the carne asada. My favorite by far are the fish tacos! They are sooo good. You can tell they use quality fish because it's super light and fluffy. They put the perfect amount of their "baja sauce" and other toppings on it. I could eat these every day! The carne asada was also very good, but I'm a huge fish fan so it got overshadowed. These fish tacos are the bees knees. The chips and salsa isn't anything too special but it gets the job done! It comes with a salsa verde and a red salsa. Normally I'm not a big salsa verde fan but this one was decent. There wasn't too much cilantro which is usually what deters me. Mission Taco has a great craft beer selection and a great cocktail list. I highly recommend checking it out! read more
It's like a fiesta for my stomach! Probably the best Mexican Restaurant I've been to in U City/Delmar Loop area. My friend and I stopped by for a late dinner since we both really really wanted some tacos. The restaurant was fairly loud on the Tuesday night, so I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a serious conversation. However, if you want a casual, upbeat dinner, I think you'll really like this place. We ordered chips and salsa and three different types of tacos for dinner. The chips come with two kinds of salsa - a poblano based one and a spicy habanero one. Don't let the names scare you - they aren't spicy at all (I would definitely order the "spicy habanero" salsa as a drink if I knew people wouldn't judge me). In terms of tacos, I ordered the roasted duck, nopales, and the yucatan chicken. I think the Nopales (cactus) was my favorite, followed by the chicken and then the duck. The citrus undertones from the pickled onions and cactus complimented the creaminess goat cheese and kick from the jalapeno salsa well. Quite a profile of textures and flavors from one tiny taco! The chicken taco was decent, but nothing out of the ordinary - well prepared, but I felt like you could find the same dish at other restaurants. Although the duck taco was my least favorite, it was still pretty decent - it just seemed to be missing a key flavor component. In the restaurant's defense, I ordered it without the carnitas, and perhaps that was the missing element. I will definitely come back soon! Also, if you're ever hungry late - Happy Hour everyday from 10pm till close ($2 tacos :) ) read more

The tacos here are awesome. The churros and Mexican spicy cinnamon poured chocolate is awesome. The staff are friendly and the dining areas look clean. I was very impressed with the regular and weekly specials mixed cocktail menus. I chose one called Hot Missouri Nights that was a creative blend and nicely presented drink even though there wasn't much drink to drink. The tacos were all very good. From carne asada to duck breast and even the fish. We ordered a number of tacos and many had a minor alteration but they got them all correct and were perfectly explained when they were delivered to the table family style. The best ones were the duck breast tacos but the fish tacos came in a close second. Fresh flavors and nice texture. We wrapped up the meal with a couple orders of churros and freshly poured spicy cinnamon dipping chocolate. The best churros I've had since I visited Sevilla, Spain some years ago. The clear highlight to our meal. So why did I only give three stars??? The disgusting restrooms and what I witnessed an employee doing before we left. Both the men's and women's restrooms were full of graffiti, had toilet paper and used paper towels on the floor, the toilets were unsanitary, and the sinks were filthy. I'm a firm believer that the restroom of a restaurant directly represents the kitchen as well and if one is dirty the other likely is as too. And as we were leaving I watched an employee picking up all sorts of trash off the floor with his hands and then take a handoff of food plates headed out to a customers table using his thumb right next to the food without washing his hands between events. Had I'd have known of the sanitary issues here before eating then I would have not eaten here. Why take chances with your health? read more

Interesting review coming your way. So I've heard these tacos are incredible. Saw this month's special was the veggie taco. Had to try it! I had a busy day so I got it to-go. If you look on their Facebook page, it shows an abundance of peppers, sweet potato, kale, and avocado and mine was well....not so much. Not sure if they did this accidentally or because I had a to-go order but I tipped either way leaving me with a $4+ taco that left much to be desired. Normally I would get 2-3 but I wanted to test out the flavors first. Not worth $4. I posted the pic on their Facebook and they removed it and sent me this message....not sure how I feel about their policies but hey, they can't remove this review. (PS taco was great but tiny). read more
I've actually been to Mission twice, the first visit went poorly but they did the right thing and service was great so I refrained from giving review. This time service was ok. But my water glass went empty for my entire meal. It was finally refilled by the bartender after she delivered the bill. I've had the Brah-rito and the taquitos. Both were pretty good. But not great. The steak in the brah-rito was of fair quality and it's stuffed with French Fries, points for being unique to the area. MISSION goes from being a 4 star place for the food to a 3 star place because they're far too proud. My burrito with a dollar up charge I wasn't informed about was over $16 out the door with nothing but water on the bill. I even gave a crappy tip because service was meh. I'd have to be desperate to pay that kind of money again to have their hipster tacos. Given that the quality isn't high enough to justify the price I doubt I'll be back. It's a great place to blow some money on curiosity. Give it a shot. read more

I heard that Mission Taco does half priced tacos after 10pm. Is this true?
Not sure if this is still true nowadays, but they used to do $2 tacos after 10pm.
Do you offer flour tortillas for your tacos? Or is corn the only option?
We have both, made fresh every day!
Do they offer lettuce cups/wraps?
Yes, sort of, they will serve the guts of the taco on a bed of lettuce or in a small bowl. But not in a big leaf.
