Mission

Latin Restaurant and Lounge

  • Private Parties
  • Happy Hour
  • Late Night Food 10pm-12pm

Modern Latin cuisine with hints of Yucatan, Spain and Oaxaca mingled together in exciting fresh combinations which will both satisfy your hunger and please your palate. Try the fresh margaritas to quench your thirst and then finish off with sinful molten chocolate cake or other home made postres.

The atmosphere combines contemporary architecture with sultry old world charm. Sit in a cozy booth, lounge on couches upstairs or take a table overlooking the action on the mezzanine. A great place for a candle lit date or invite friends and take advantage of the group seating areas.

Mission also offers a private bar and lounge for parties up to 40.

Editorial Review for Mission – by Jill Lightner

The Scene
Lanterns, dark wood and high ceilings--think Frieda Kahlo's Mexico--have a sexy appeal more appropriate for late-night drinks than an after-work taco fest. A long bar and a cozy mezzanine are ideal for casual chats, while the booths that run along the opposite side offer dimly-lit corners and plenty of privacy. Servers are generous with their opinions, and mix casual friendliness with professionalism when it comes to drink refills and requests.

The Food
Start off with the chunky guacamole and plantain chips-- the perfect companion for a cool mojito or margarita. House-made tortillas form the base for both fish and steak tacos; neither are particularly spicy, but fillings are cared for and plentiful. The heap of poblano mashed potatoes that come with the steak skewers are a side dish worth fighting for; don't be afraid to be selfish. Desserts--flan, warm chocolate cake and Mexican chocolate ice cream--are all delicious.

Been 2 times with a group of 3. Both times our food has been average. I didnt even bother taking my leftovers home the last time. It's a neat place to have a drink (seems lots of people were doing that). I dont think I'd eat there again.

Pros: Good place to get a drink

Cons: Parking stinks.. but thats West Seattle for ya..

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I recently organized a birthday party for a friend at Mission and everything went off without a hitch. We had about 40 guests and the space was perfect for mingling and for a sit down dinner. The service was amazingly prompt and the food was great. The owner was great about communicating with me before the event to make sure all our needs were met. Thank you!
