The Mission

The Mission serves modern Latin cooking in a dramatic, candlelit room next to the historic Old Adobe Mission church in Old Town Scottsdale. Dark wood, low light, and a signature wall of Himalayan salt give it one of the more atmospheric dining rooms in the city.

It's a reliable crowd-pleaser for a lively dinner. Guests almost always mention the tableside guacamole and the churros, so plan to share a few things across the table. There's a busy bar and patio scene too, so it works for both a full dinner and a drinks-and-small-plates evening.

It's popular and the room fills quickly, so book ahead for prime evening times. It sits in central Old Town, an easy walk or short ride from most Scottsdale rentals.
