WOAH! Drop any dinner plans you had an go here! Hidden gem in Mission. I have had a LOT of real authentic Mexican food and all very good BUT this place ABSOLUTELY takes the #1 spot! I ordered the Quesa Birra, my dad had the chicken tacos and daughter had the fajita burrito and let me tell you. I'm going to be hard pressed to find a better place, and I don't say that lightly! The cook or I assume owner came to us and made sure everything was perfect. It was beyond perfect and then began to chat with us a bit. He takes his business very seriously. We also learned he has 2 sons serving in both the Marine Corps and Army. Literally I don't think there would be a thing on this menu that would not be 5 stars. Again, I don't say that lightly. His wife also made a strawberries and cream dessert that they brought us and THAT was amazing as well and certainly not something they had to do. This place deserves your business, many times. You will not be Disappointed! Go now, even if you already ate. read more

Best nachos I've ever had. The chips were actually cut from their own corn tortillas and prepared fresh, unlike other restaurants that'll typically just put in bag chips and call it good. The guacamole and sour cream were fresh, and the asada was cooked well and had a delicious tang to it. My mouth is watering just thinking of it again... that should tell you enough. Now go get yourself some nachos! read more

Right away I knew this would be a great experience. The staff was so friendly. It was like visiting family. I ordered the fajita burrito. Others in my party ordered tacos and quesa birra. The food was outstanding. I'll definitely be back again. read more

Best bacon breakfast burrito I've ever had, it was big, crispy bacon, good potatoes, and great sauce. My sister had the asada torta and she loved it as well. Drinks were crisp cold. Definitely a hidden gem in Lompoc and amazing find. Cashier was very friendly and made great suggestions. read more

Went tonight for dinner as we saw it being recommended on instagram. Food was bland, my land and sea burrito had shrimp with the shells still on it, the asada was burnt and the rice was hard. My wife's burrito was the same way. 65 bucks for 2 burritos 1 bean and cheese Burritos's and 2 drinks. Total ripoff. If I could give it a 0 I would. Toro bronco is way better. Even taco Roco..... read more

So this has always been a place for good menudo! And today as my husband is eating menudo over chewing takes out a big nasty nail press on nail, my husband calls the women who brings the food gives to her tells her this was in my menudo, she takes it to the man cooking Not one of them returned to our table to even apologize! That's all we wanted as paying customers for yrs we bring our friends here who visit us, we are not scammers trying to get a free meal I couldn't even continue eating cause who knows where the other 9 acrylic nails are now? We are very disappointed in the food and service no apology at all. So we contacted our family and friends not go no more, Safety of food should be number 1 in restaurant setting she did not have gloves for sure. Sad to say but no more menudo here even sadder they did not come to our table to acknowledge us. read more

Great food. Loved the chips and salsa. We had Asada and Chicken Tacos They were good Service was great. Appeared to be a family run business read more

Great food! We order take out a few times a month. One of the best Mexican restaurants in Lompoc , read more

Absolutely the best burrito I ever had. Got the wet chorizo burrito (no rice) smothered in red chili sauce. The chorizo was flavorful with little grease. The red chili sauce had real chili flavor and was not watered down like most do. A real mom and pop shop with abuela minding the grandchild while serving. Order was prompt and the cold beer was crisp and the right accompaniment to the meal. Cost was very reasonable for a large burrito I had to take home when I could not finish it. Well worth the short trip out of Lompoc . read more

The food is good. The micheladas are the in the valley. Try the hard ta o combo plate. I like the salsa too.

Holy COW! This is a hidden gem. Absolutely delicious and fresh food. Best enchiladas I've had in years. It's out of the way, but I'll definitely be back. read more

Great food and great service. The atmosphere is awesome. Nice little shop in Mission Hills that everybody's gotta go to.!!!!

This place is perfect in every way. The food is always high quality and it's always ready fast. The chicken enchiladas contain what tastes like rotisserie chicken and are incredible. I also love their rajas sope. Not too mention the little green and red hot sauces that come with the meal. read more

Small location that is on the outskirts, and the food was very good after a round of golf! If it wasn't for YELP, I would not know about this place, especially since I live +4hrs drive from the SF Bay area. Modelo draft beer was flat, but owner provided bottled beer replacements. read more

We were not looking for the holy grail of taquerias, we were just looking for a decent place to eat. This taco shop is a ways out of town but still a quick drive in a shopping mall that would have been a great back drop for a Mexican/spaghetti western. As we walked into this place we were greeted with some Mexican old songs that took me back to my acne face and the memories started flowing! This was THEE sign that was divine intervention and so our next stop is to the local mission to light a few candles! We basically ordered one of each of what was available on the menu, oink!!! The arrival and presentation of my taco plate was a work of Modern Art! The only complaint at this point was the smallish size of the tacos but I'm on a self inflicted diet so it felt medically right. I started off with the Al Pastor taco and poured some sugar on it (salsa verde and salsa Colorada) and I was ready to find the truth! The taco was pure revelation, it was perfection in two small tortillas. I was still amazed and perplexed at the magical culinary and immediately grabbed for the Rajas Tacos. Never having experienced a Rajas Taco I prepared it like a surgeon and used my surgical mouth to devour this new patient! Pure Bliss!! Then there were only three left on my plate and the count down/chow-down began. I was left perplexed, amazed, excited and confused at what had just happened. So there was only one thing left to do and order a Tripas and another Al Pastor taco to double check my experience. If you are within a 250 mile radius your next assignment is to accept this new culinary mission and drive straight to Taqueria La Mision. You will find what you have been looking for! You will learn to use muscles on your face that haven't been used in awhile, while you smile! Provecho! read more

Taqueria La Mision - Carnitas Taco Dorado - Mexican Near Me - Lompoc, California

Sooo we order here a lot. We have so far liked everything we order....except one thing we experienced today which is why it's 4 instead of 5 stars. We ordered Mar Y Tierra (steak and shrimp) and as I take a bite of a shrimp I see something rather unpleasant. The digestive tract was not removed and it wasn't just one shrimp was missed...it was ALL the shrimp and these large shrimps had some pretty full sacks of poop in them. We stopped eating but after googling, apparently it's safe to eat, it's just an unpleasant sight and experience. So we tried not to think about it and just finish our dinner. Some of the shrimp wound up in the garbage cause we just couldn't get over the thought. We will order here again but will forego any seafood from here on out. read more

First time trying this place and so glad we did!!!! We got pozole and a tostada. So good! The staff was very friendly and all working hard to get the food to you quick. The pozole portions were pretty big and so flavorful! It had lots of meat The homemade corn tortillas were so good. read more

We were in Lompoc for dinner and needed help to find a good restaurant. So where do I turn?? Yelp of course!! I saw this Taqueria and hoped it would live up to the five star reviews. Well it sure did!! First off the Taqueria is located outside of the downtown area, in a more residential area. It is located in mini-mall, where there are only two things open at night. There are many free parking spots in front. The sign was turned off but we found it anyway. We called in our order and brought it back to eat. There were inside dining spots with a few patrons. The service was friendly. Our to go order was as we ordered. I must say I am pretty picky about Mexican food and this was excellent! The carnitas plate was so flavorful. The pinto beans was creamy and perfectly cooked. I rarely eat most restaurant Mexican rice, as it usually flavorless and dry. Not so here, the rice was moist and full of flavor! The carnitas were really crispy but moist, yes it was fried so it not something to get if on a diet. Such a great choice. The nachos were generously covered with the toppings. The chips were homemade, fresh Pico de gallo, pastor was moist and flavorful. We ran out of chips because there was so much toppings. Guacamole also was fresh and good. The salsas were a little spicy but delicious. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. If we are in Lompoc again we will be back. read more

About a week ago, I was looking for a place to eat Birria De Chivo. I looked around in Santa Maria and I only see the Mexican restaurants sell Birria De Res. I couldn't find a place that sell Birria De Chivo, until I looked in Lompoc. I decided to try this Mexican restaurant out. So, I ordered a small container of Birria De Chivo. I got to say ... this Birria De Chivo is FANTASTIC!!!! Tacos De Carne Asada are OUTSTANDING too! This is my second time going and ordering some more for both foods. Also, this is a family run Mexican restaurant. Don't let the location overlook what an amazing restaurant it is: good food and service! * THIS IS THE PLACE TO EAT and SPECIAllY the BIRRIA DE CHIVO! And I don't need to go to Oxnard or L.A for it! :) read more

I decided to give this new taqueria a try since I was a regular with the previous business that was located here and I love tacos so why not ! I ordered 2 Asada , 1 chorizo taco and 1 hard shell chicken taco to go. My total was $8.62 plus a couple bucks for the tip . Order was made in a timely manner considering the fact they only had 2 other customers dining in . The soft tacos were good especially the chorizo one , must try ! Green salsa is on point if you like spice. My only complaint is when I got to my hard shell chicken taco , I opened it up because all I bit into was tortilla, sadly I noticed the chicken amount was so skimped out! WOW, what a disappointment. A Can of soda is 1.75 so I skipped that . Other than that it's a decent spot and will try again just not the hard shell tacos . read more
