They are very educated about serving gluten free food. Sadly, the tortillas are not gf. The fajitas were wonderful! I loved the flan! I would travel across town to eat at La Mission again!
I love their chips and salsa! Add a margarita and that’s what you call a dinner! I do love their bean and cheese burrito with green sauce! The margaritas are so good and the best part- you can get one to go!!
I don't usually give out 5 stars, but Collin and the staff were amazing! My boyfriend said, "wow this place should be more popular...and easier to get to." It is a bit tricky to get to, but worth it. The frozen margarita was blended to perfection. The poppers were okay, but didn't easily have much flavor, they're fantastic with the salsa though! Free chips and salsa!
Visited today for the first time after we left Colorado 10 years ago. We were delighted to be greeted by Michael the owner who remembered us. So emotional, and the food is just as good as it ever was. The very best Mexican food we've eaten anywhere. Arriz Con Pollo is to die for Beautiful ambience, very friendly servers, and the food is the star of the show. Worth going out of your way to find this gem.
The Carne asada skirt steak fajitas were bomb. Sooo good. Was over all happy and delighted to find a restaurant with white queso. Our waitress was really helpful and friendly too. The fried icecream has Graham cracker as the batter. Different. The rice was great. The only downside we experienced was that bc it was "seat yourself", the table we sat at wasn't clean when we sat down. The waitress promptly cleaned it though. Update: Went back. Carne Asada steak fajitas were just as good as the first time. The meat is so tender and flavorful. Excellent quality. The chicken chimichamga was good (but I preferred the fajitas.) Ground beef enchiladas with red sauce were just what we were in the mood for when we want beef enchiladas. The red sauce did have a slight kick of heat. Salsa and chips were better this time. The salsa wasn't spicy and chips seemed better salted and fresher. The fried icecream we got in a to go container, but ended up eating the whole thing before we left. Ha. I was disappointed in the strawberry daiquiri. It tasted more like a pink icee freeze popsicle than a strawberry daiquiri. I couldn't taste the alcohol in it either. It wasn't bad, but not what I expect for a strawberry daiquiri. The waitress was attentive and helpful. We will keep going back. I did notice now under the "seat yourself" sign they added "not to sit at a dirty table". The first time we went the only table avaliable was dirty, so you take what you can get lol. This time all the booths but one was open, and I prefer booths.
First time dining here! It was good - We'll be bk again to try other menu items!
First time visit, went thanks to a friends recommendation. Glad she took us! As a Texas transplant, it's been hard to find good Tex mex. La Mission is absolutely delicious. The salsa hits the spot. They also serve a type of slaw that is so good. At a new Mexican restaurant, I like a variety, so I got a bean chalupa, beef taco, and beef enchilada. All it was fire. Loved it. The Enchiladas La Crema remind me of the elusive Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas that you can find in Texas. The drinks are fantastic! Great price too! La Mission is worth the drive from Colorado Springs. We'll DEFINITELY be back.
Amazing food and service! Visited for lunch on Saturday August 5, 2023. Our waitress was amazing! Fajitas were cooked perfectly, kids meal was plentiful, burrito machaca was also excellent! Great visit!!!
