The OG Brisket Birria taco was soooooooo good. I love a spicy margarita, their set my soul on fire. My daughter enjoyed her kids taco and side of fries. Service was fast. It wasn't very busy on a Sunday evening. My daughter talked about all the art on the walls and was very entertained.
This review is actually for Session Taco at Busch stadium. Best vegan option in the park. I get the vegan soft tacos which are delicious. Usually no wait after you order . Food is prepared, but hot and fresh. Friendly service. A little pricey but what isn't at the ballpark!
I am visiting family in St. Louis and we decided to go into Mission Taco (now Session Taco) because we had a coupon! She had been there before, but I have not. It's street parking and it can be a bit hard to find if it's crowded. There was a sign when we walked in to seat ourselves. Although it wasn't packed the restaurant was still really loud. Our server came over but it took us quite awhile to get waters. We decided to start with the dip trio- which is the salsa, queso and guacamole. They do charge for chips and salsa here, which is kind of a bummer. The guac was fairly standard- good but nothing special. The salsa was decent- it was pretty spicy. The queso was just okay- it reminded me of Velveeta cheese. It was not really warm when it came out so it became pretty solid and hard to dip in. For the entrees I got 3 tacos (regular ground beef, the lobster and the carnitas). I picked these options as it looked like on the menu they weren't spicy. I should have asked the server because they were spicy aside for the lobster one. The lobster and carnitas were my favorite- although the carnitas was too hot for me. I really disliked the regular ground beef one it had a strong smoky spicy flavor. I also got the street corn, which was just okay. The person I went with got the shredded beef bowl. It was also just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here. If I did I would ask questions and be more specific with the things I would or wouldn't get. Overall experience 2/5.
After an evening full of libations and dancing the night away (Jammin at the zoo), our group decided to get some much needed fuel at Mission Taco. Despite us being a group of 10 and arriving around 9:45, they were able to get us seated. After immediately being sat, the server came and gave us water. Shortly after, he came and took our drink and food order. Since I rarely ever eat after 7, i asked if I could get something off the kids menu (small and light), and he let me! I got the kids chicken burrito, which comes with chicken and cheese. Rather than get the rice on the side, he let me put it in the burrito, and I chose the fries for my side. The burrito was the perfect size, and if allowed, I'd totally order again. The chicken didn't have much seasoning, but the rice and cheese made up for it. As for the fries, mine were the only ones that weren't seasoned. While that was a bummer, at least they were well done! Our server did a great job keeping our large party hydrated, as well as providing amazing service. If I'm in the area, I'll def. be back,
The signature tacos are great. The guacamole is very flavorful. The atmosphere is great. Draft beer has a limited selection, lacking many domestics. My main complaint is the service is way too fast. Don't order your food too quickly if you're relaxing, or it will be out very fast.
This was our pick for tacos during our trip to St Louis while staying in Soulard. It proved to be one of our most disappointing meals. The service was fast, friendly and attentive and the vibe of the restaurant decor was bright and fun, so the 3 stars is based on the food only. The salsas, mild and hot, were both hot. They aren't complimentary and we let a lot of it go to waste. While not listed on the menu we ordered basic cheese queso and it was good - thick and flavorful. We ordered a burrito and variety of tacos, plus an order of beef empanadas. The empanadas were decent. I was thankful the beef wasn't overly seasoned. The outside was buttery and flaky, more like a biscuit than the crispy texture I'm used to for empanadas. The tacos were overwhelmed by their toppings, causing the protein to be missed. Or in my case, the meat was so seasoned, almost a burnt taste, that I only ate the toppings and skipped the rest. Overall, not the experience we'd hoped for and I'd recommend seeking an alternative spot.
Great tasting food and drinks even with the rebranding. The service was great and waiter was attentive and had great recs. It was during the day so it was nice setup with the garage door up. Still a fan of their work. Keep it up!!
Stumbled upon Mission in Soulard after stopping in St. Louis for lunch. The neighborhood itself is super cute, historic, and the farmers market was neat to explore and walk through. The bartenders were super friendly, and started lunch with chips and some of the best queso and a margarita. Food arrived quickly, and was fantastic! Will definitely be stopping back by! Loved it
Before leaving St. Louis had to make a stop to eat! And Mission Taco Joint stuck out! A Very historic place! Old antiques aligned the entire restaurant. We ordered a couple steak tacos and beef Taco for the kid! Good food. Good staff! Can't really go wrong with tacos. (2021)
The perfect afterwork hangout spot for big groups and good bites! Environment: This place is an open and vibrant, yet casual ambiance that caters toward big groups but also has smaller tables for smaller groups too. Not sure if it's the best first date spot but definitely good vibes for those long term couples. The music is a bit loud so our vocal cords got their workout in. Restaurant was bustling with conversations though too... so maybe a good thing? Despite that, definitely one of the better decorated Mission Tacos in the area. Food/Drink: We ordered chips and salsas for the appetizer for the table. Both salsas both had deep flavors and were delicious. The red sauce is a bit smoky and a bit spicy which my party loved. The chips are thicker than normal cantina style, so may not cater to everyone. Unfortunately only able to snag a picture of my own entree this time since the table ended up being super crowded. I got the South Beach burrito smothered in a spicy ranchero salsa. Flavors on point and quality ingredients to create this Mexican staple. Only complaint with the burrito would be that it lacked a crunch to balance out the textures and and element of freshness. Rice was slightly mushy as well unfortunately. The burrito needs some pico or lettuce to brighten the burrito. Some members of the party also got drinks (see pictures) which were surprisingly strong, but on the sweeter side. Rating: 4/5, one of the better Mission Taco's in the area. Attentive service and caters to restrictions/requests very well. Amazing atmosphere for a casual bite. The food is solid but has some shortcomings as above. High rating to emphasize the vibes and great service!
Went to visit the Soulard farmer's market and noticed this taco spot a few blocks away. Thought we'd check them out for happy hour and a quick bite! The restaurant itself is rustic, vibrant, and funky! I loved the space. Our server was really great and I appreciated his hospitality with sharing things to do in the city. We ordered the Baja fish taco and the carne asada taco. Both were okay. I would've appreciated the fish to be bigger or to at least fit the shell. They also had a piece of fried shrimp randomly in the taco. The carne asada taco had more sauce and a bit more flavor, but still... just okay. The margaritas were mostly ice and only tasted like juice. Really lacked the tequila punch! I think this is a cute place to hang and maybe grab a taco or two and a beer since it's on tap. But I don't think I'd go back.

I wouldn't say that Mission is authentic. I would say they have great tacos for a complicated pallet or for people that won't wander into a "real" mexican restaurant. The Tortas are okay, I like the variety but they lack the authenticity. The tacos are delicious great spins on traditional tacos. It's good to see someone try a duck taco and be surprised by how good it tastes. I would go to Mission on my way to a ball game or whenever I am in either Soulard or The Loop. Both are bike friendly and have a great bar. Their drinks are delicious!!! read more

I had the Kona Longboard beer & tacos. I had the duck, fish, & chorizo tacos. I've never had duck on a taco before, but like many other yelp reviewers, I found it tender & yummy! Definitely worth getting. The fish tacos were also excellent. On another visit, I had the chef's special taco, brisket, fish, and mushroom tacos. I enjoyed them also. I do not remember the beer I had with my meal, but it was good. It had some lime flavors, so it went well with tacos. They do rotate the beers, which is a plus on some sides, as you get variety, but if you had a favorite, it may no longer be available in the future, so enjoy it while you can. Update 1/4/17. I keep going back for more, and you can't beat the late night specials starting at 10pm: all tacos $2, $2 four roses and $2 tequila special shot. This time, I ordered Grilled cheese vegetarian taco of the month, chicken al pastor, BBQ duck, portabello, and beef brisket. All were great, but I just can't get enough of the duck, brisket, portobello, and chicken al pastor. Other visits, I tremendously enjoyed the fish tacos and shrimp tacos. I am not normally a tofu guy, but I also thought the mofu tofu was terrific and packs a fair bit of heat. Eva behind the bar is terrific and very knowledgeable read more

I seriously have to give this place a . Our server and the staff were fantastic. So upbeat and friendly. The street corn are just as good as described....amazing! The chips and salsa were just as good...salsa has great flavors. I tried the portabello, carne asada, and the grilled baja taco and all 3 were soo delicious....but my favorite had to be the portabello. I would def go back to this place. I think pricing for the food is spot on. Parking sucks but that's just Soulard for ya. read more
We ordered 4 tacos and some drinks. The top shelf margarita was delicious. Didn't taste like mix out of a bottle. My husband ordered the "zombie" drink- it was so high in alcohol that you are only allowed to order 2 per day! It was quite tasty. The fried fish was the best taco. The baked fish was ok. The turkey was fine, and the chorizo was spicy! Service was great! read more

BBQ duck tacos were a score! The agua Fresca pineapple was light and delicious after a late ballgame. The fish tacos aren't the best- pass on those and get the bbq duck tacos instead- you won't regret it read more

Loved finding this late night eatery with delicious tacos and guacamole. There is more to the menu, but it was late and we still had a long drive. This is a place I would come back too! Let me say the duck taco, shrimp and mango, and brisket tacos were scarfed down in complete silence. My daughter praised the portobello one. The only thing that could make them better were fresh made corn tortillas. read more

You have to get the chips and salsa when you go. Ones got a kick and the other one is a little sweet and my family and I inhaled both flavors. The build your own taco sampler is a great way to try new flavor combinations and the margaritas are cool and refreshing and hit the spot! Definitely would recommend for a great lunch! The churros are the perfect way to end! read more

We went there after work for our monthly happy hour. The wait staff was excellent. Even as it got busier,we were never neglected. There were several beers and cocktails around the table - drinks menu is very helpful. I tried the margaritas and a daquerie. Favorite was the margaritas for sure. Daq was nit frozen and was very sour. We had the carne asada fries, which were so good I really could have stuck with them all night. We ordered a menagerie of tacos - my fave were the grilled fish. Street corn!!!!! I will just say it was the best. I took churros home and could have left my husband for the sauce, even reheated the next morning. My only negative experience was the parking. Couldn't find a spot and ended up at the new electronic meters - those things are annoying. read more

I loved the food here. Tacos are my thing and they have set the benchmark. This clean and quirky atmosphere is the perfect spot for friends to get street like tacos and other mexican style dishes at reasonable prices. Service was great and I'm thinking about going back tonight at 10 for their drink and taco specials. read more

My cousin Kevin and I ate here 10 days ago. Both of us enjoy Mexican food immensely and we've had a tradition of getting together regularly and trying new Mexican restaurants when we hear about them. Kevin is also a Margarita aficionado and this adds an extra dimension to dining with Kevin because we can also comment on the "alcohol" factor at some of these places. We tried Mission Taco Joint on the recommendation of another cousin who had never been there but had heard great things about it. The restaurant is long and narrow, house in what appears to be a former garage or perhaps a machine shop. The garage door appears that it could still be opened in good weather. I don't know if they do that. The decor is brick. There's no attempt to make this restaurant appear to be citchey Mexican nor to reflect any Mexican architectural influence. The margaritas are homemade from house made fruit juices. They are not served by the pitcher the way my cousin likes them and apparently quite expensive based on our lunch bill for two. The food is excellent, but definitely overpriced. Everything is sold ala carte. The chips and salsa were extra unlike most Mexican restaurants. Although the sauces look the same, there are two choices served with the chips. One is a rather mild traditional salsa and the other is a delicious smoked salsa. Considering that the chips and salsa cost extra, I was pleased with the smoked salsa and the warm chips, but it wasn't worth the extra price ($3.00). There are no side dishes with entrees unless one wants to pay extra for them. I had the The Brah'rito ($12), which is a burrito containing Carne asada, chipotle bacon, black beans, crema, chile-crusted potato fries, Chihuahua cheese, ancho sauce, topped with guacamol and pico do gillo. No sides. It was very good, but overpriced, and I think I would get something just as good and more reasonable at Tower Tacos, inauthentic, locally owned Mexican restaurant on Cherokee. I also couldn't resist trying a Roasted Duck Taco ($3.50): Chile roasted duck, crisp pork belly carnitas, avocado serrano sauce. It was excellent although mostly pork belly. The menu says these are served family style on homemade tortillas, but since the taco is only enough for one, I'm not sure where family style comes in unless a group ordered a bunch of them which could get very pricey very quickly. My cousin ordered the South Beach Burrito ($9.00), Grilled chicken, Chihuahua cheese, cilantro rice, smashed black beans, chipotle aioli, topped with guacamole. He said it was excellent, but without sides was overpriced. Our total lunch bill was $85, which included 4 margaritas, served individually. Most of that bill went to the margaritas, which, as my cousin says, " were good, not great and not worth that kind of money." This was not fine dining like Cafe Provence or the old Chez Leon in the Central West End before it moved to Clayton and closed. This is one of those trendy places that will have its time, but I don't expect thay Kevin or I will go back. read more

After hearing so much about the food at the physical space known as Mission Taco, I felt it was long overdue to visit. The space is very congenial and the staff was great-knowledgeable and on top of their game! Some nice cocktail choices along with a good selection of beers....and more. The corn off the cob was a very flavorful side dish and the tacos were very fresh, quite tasty and creatively prepared! I enjoyed my dishes but the pork seemed a bit lacking in flavor-I was anticipating more robust tastes. The portobello taco and chicken were really good! After 3 tacos packed with meat and the corn, I was quite satiated!! A nice casual space with a good vibe and really fresh food.... read more

I love MT's tacos. My personal favorite is the shrimp and duck tacos. However, I was very disappointed in the drinks. I got a margarita and was done with it in what seemed like a few sips! They fill the entire glass up with ice so you don't get much of your drink. I was bummed that my drink was $11 something for a glass full of ice. I took a picture after about 25-30 minutes when much of it had melted and it was still full of ice! read more

Funky taco place in the Soulard neighborhood of St. Louis. The building itself adds to the experience - a re-purposed firehouse complete with bell (look up!). The space is divided by an open-ended wall, dividing the bar from the tables. A colorful mural (reminiscent of California) graces a wall that brightens up the space. Now on to the food - the menu describes MTJ as "Mexi-Cali" (maybe that explains the surfboards in the mural!). Our group opted for the street tacos, which are ordered a la cart and served family style. We tried: Beef Brisket Birria, Nopales (grilled cactus), Yucatecan Pork, Carne Asada and Roasted Duck. They were all very, very good. Honestly, one doesn't stand out over another. The place has a large selection of craft beers and some unique libations. The Vino El Invierno was served warm, a blend of red wine, whiskey, chocolate & spices. Pretty tasty on a blustery day! We were there for an early lunch on a Saturday; it was busy, but not at all crowded. Service was great and our server was very friendly. My guess is this place is wall-to-wall at nights. Definitely worth going to and returning to. read more

Every person who knew we were going to STL or we met while in St Louis told us we HAD to check out Mission Taco... And they were correct! We went to the Soulard location attached to iTap and loved every second. They have fun and eclectic artwork on all the walls, a large bar area, tons of low and high top tables and even half booths along the back wall. The service was quick and the food was delicious!! I highly recommend the queso chorizo and chips! We also had the Three Little Pigs and South Beach burritos and they were both delicious... However, you must pay the extra $1 for the sauce and queso topping. It's work all 100 pennies! Finally, our server was on top of it, never hovered, and always made sure we had everything we needed. He accidentally input the wrong order for my boyfriend and apologized immensely as he realized it while brining it to the table before we even had to mention it. He offered to box the wrong burrito for us to go at no additional charge and also offered more free queso, which was definitely going above and beyond for an honest mistake. I definitely will return here for tacos the next time I head to Saint Louieeeee! read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review before now. I LOVE THIS PLACE. Everything we have tried has been so delicious. My personal favorites are: the margarita (OMG yum!), Mango-Hop-Anero Shrimp tacos, and chips and salsa. Other things we have tried: Baja Fish tacos, the Brah'rito, the South Beach burrito, and the Carne Asada Fries. I have not had anything I wouldn't order again. Pricing for food is very reasonable, but the alcohol is a bit on the pricey side. A regular margarita is $8, beer seems around $4+. Chris, the bartender we normally have, is great. All the bartenders and staff are friendly and have knowledge about everything on their menu. I personally like how their bartenders are trained on bartending. Sam, I think, even showed us how they make the margaritas and how they count pours. It's nice knowing what you're getting for your money. read more
