Old Town Scottsdale’s heart beats to a Latin drum at The Mission where renowned Chef Matt Carter (Zinc Bistro and Fat Ox) brings a modern twist to Latin cuisine blending influences from Spain, Mexico, Central America and South America.

Sip a signature margarita with unique flavors such as cucumber jalepeno or aguacate (yes, we said avocado) as you watch your Tableside Guacamole made to your taste from more than a dozen fresh ingredients.

Home made tortillas, and salsas are made fresh daily to accompany an assortment of meats and seafood prepared on a Plancha or a grill using pecan and mesquite wood that instills a rich flavor. And save room for dessert including our pumpkin bread pudding or expresso churros.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Matt Carter

From the OpenTable editors: You know a chef is a big deal when they win a lifetime achievement award from the Arizona Restaurant Association, like chef Matt Carter did in 2024 for his contributions to furthering Arizona's culinary culture. At The Mission, Carter takes broad inspiration from the Americas with dishes like handmade tortillas, freshly smashed salsas, and tableside guacamole from the molcajete cart that showcase the gorgeous local bounty.

    Great selection of cocktails and amazing food. We had a fantastic flight of mezcal tequilas too. The table side guacamole was delicious and all of our appetizers and entrees were phenomenal. We really enjoyed the fun atmosphere as well.

    This popular establishment was a very nearly a full-house at lunch today. The wait-staff were attentive and helpful. The food was good; not outstanding. It was encouraging to see the man who appeared to be a manager, pitching-in clearing tables to get people waiting quickly seated.

    The Old Mission Restaurant stands out from the traditional Mexican food restaurants. With the gourmet Latin selections to the outstanding cocktail options, it's a favorite when eating in Scottsdale Old Town. The ambiance is special with the salt block wall. The Sunday brunch options are a nice change from traditional brunch entrees. The staff are professional and friendly. A must for first time diners is the chips and guacamole prepared at your table.

    Our table had fish taco and smoked pork tacos Both were delicious and we would order both again. The service was just what you would want and expect. We enjoyed the atmosphere even though it was slightly noisy. I highly recommend this restaurant

    Ended up sitting at the bar. The bartender was outstanding and the food was amazing. He gave us great recommendations on what to eat. Salsa and guacamole are a definite starter for an appetizer.
