1119 Tradewinds Blvd, Midland, TX 79703, United States
Familiar Mexican grub such as tacos & fajitas served in a colorful atmosphere with palm trees.
On 3 December 2024, my sister and I we went two la mission. As a disabled woman, one thing I have found that it needs to be addressed the wedge of the entrance, cause my heavy wheelchair not to enter well through the door. The door is wide enough. The only problem is is the wedge it was difficult to get in as much to get out. Hopefully, it will be taken care of.
The atmosphere was pretty cool.. reminded me sort of the Pink Store in Polomas Mexico.. food.. its not bad if you have a very mild spicy pallet.. im from New Mexico and the enchilada had zero spicyness.. (the salsa was hotter).. i had a combo plate.. the queso on the corn tortilla.. idk what that was supposed to be.. for me it was not very authentic.. the food was hot..and my server was nice.. so i fave this place 3 stars..
I have never been here before being that I'm from El Paso. The atmosphere was very colorful and pleasant to the eyes. I had the chicken flautas and they were very good. The only thing is they only give you two. My wife and the tilapia and she liked it. Overall it was a good experience.
Took a little bit to get seated, but we were a group of 4 adults and 3 kids. Once we were seated, service was great and the food was delicious. Not often you find Mexican food cooked without onions. This was a definite plus due to 2 of us having allergies to them. Onions could be requested though. Portions were generous and tasty. Definitely recommend.
Great place! Me and my 2 female flt crew memberz stopped by this restaurant to get a couple of margaritaz. After looking over the menu, I made a mental note to dine here my next visit to Midland-Odessa, TX. I ordered only one mango margarita, along w/ my 2 female guests, but next time, I'm ordering the shrimp cocktail that lookz like it comes w/ mango too and may have to look over the menu a lil' more. Everything looked and sounded delicious. The smell was so tempting. If only we didn't have other planz we would have for sure ate here. That's ok. I definitely will be back when I'm in the area again and will keep everyone updated w/ more picz and videoz. Until next time...
By far and away, the best shrimp cocktail I've had in the last 25 years. The base sauce was sooo flavorful! The lady suggested that I add Tabasco and she brought shredded habanero chile, since I mentioned I Ike it spicy. Sooo delish. It was late and still got treated like a valued customer. I found my new place in Midland. Needless to say it will not be my last time here! Thank you for the great service and great delicious food!!
The food was super delicious. The red chile was not spicy and the flavor was absolute perfection. Chilaquiles were so cheesy and crispy. I don’t know what is in the beans, but they were addicting. This is definitely our new go to Mexican place. We cannot wait to try the other dishes. Our waitress was great. Restaurant has super cute decor was was clean.
I came in for some huevos rancheros, and I have to say.... to start, the chips and salsa were on point. The chips were nice and warm, and the salsa was perfect, not runny, and the right amount of heat. Now, to the huevos rancheros, the ranchero sauce was lacking, meaning not much of it, and the flavor was ok. My sunny side up eggs were over easy and medium. NOT MY FAVORITE!!! The bacon looked and tasted microwaved. However, the beans and potatoes were good. Overall, it was ok. As you can see, I did not finish it.
Vegetarian options: Select Mexican fare is vegetarian Recommended dishes
Nice decor, tasty food and pleasant service.
Liked it alot. Would recommend it.
Good food fast service
The food (asado) was so salty that I cant eat it. Not the first time that Ive eaten there and the food has been super salty. Will not dine in your restaurant or order for pickup, ever!
Great food!!
excellent place!! I liked the food and the service.
Great drinks.
Service not good , and the food is very mid....
Great food, drinks, and service! Its always great to see the owner and her daughters working out in the restaurant. Bussing tables, seating people, grabbing refills. This is how an owner should be. Leading by example. Remember to tip your waitstaff.
Carolina When you serve with a smile, everything shines, You catch eyes with your simple grace. Radiant in every gesture, so natural, Offering more than drinks, a special touch. You fill the atmosphere with joy and flavor, Radiating charm with all your fervor. Nobody like you in this fine art, Ah, Carolina, you are beauty and destiny. From Chihuahua to Midland Odessa, at La Misión Mexican Restaurant, you are more than an incredible bartender; You are an inspiration of beauty and talent. With admiration, Richard Pruneda
What an experience this was! First, it was recommended by a local while on a business trip! The ambiance is incredible! Best themed restaurant Ive been to in a long time! The service and food were great, as well. I would come back in a heatbeat!
The Buffet was awesome. Hot amd fresh! Great service.
Good food and good service also great atmosphere!
We enjoy going & love the Salsa
Great place and food wasnt bad. They seemed a little short staff but had a few large groups. But overall great service.
Food was okay, service was good. But 20% tip automatically added to ticket for table of 4. Asked about it and was told they add it automatically for every ticket no matter size.
Ordered chicken enchiladas but asked to serve with no sauce. Only options were red & green sauce. Ordered a bowl of queso that is so bland had to add salsa to it. I used that on to of my enchiladas. Beans were dry. My husband, though loved his dinner, carne gusadia (sp ?).
Love the food, especially the fajitas and Javiers plates
Music is to loud cant have a conversation with your own table. Good food. Customer service is hit or miss Food : 4/5
Excellent service, attention, quality of food and good prices.. definitely one of my favorite places in Midland.. the chicken fajitas is on another level..
Found this place when in town and was so impressed. Great Mexican food that I am used to. I will definitely be back.
This restaurant is Great! Food is Always Hot and delicious!. Waitresses are so attentive and with a smile. Awesome place!!
Amazing food!
Got me the wrong drink, food took forever. Waitress was terrible and friendliness expression.
Always great
Food was ok Service could have been better. Wheelchair accessibility: Just enough.
Delicious Mexican food
Food and service is always amazing!! Definitely would recommend their brunch on Saturdays.
Same old La Mission good buffet and quick service
Good but pretty over priced even for midland. Doubt Ill be back..
Fantastic food and service
Food was good. The bar tender was not nice or did not provide good service she had an attitude problem.
Everything was amazing.
Only giving 4 starts because I was 2 bites in to my quesadilla and 2 cockroaches crawled across my table. The manager said they were actively exterminating and they d take care of our ticket. The 2 bites of my food I got were good tho.
Great delicious food and awesome place to eat
The chile rellenos were perfect as always!
Great Place To Eat For Family and Friends .
Excellent food, wide variety of drinks and excellent atmosphere Parking: Enough place Kid-friendliness: Sure Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of parking space
I was very disappointed and I will eat elsewhere the next time I crave Mexican food. The decor is beautiful. That is my most positive comment. I ordered beef fajitas and an order to go. Portion size was shocking on the beef fajitas. The meat was flavorful and tender, but there was no cheese, sour cream, pico or jalapeños with the entree. There was a small amount of beans and rice and a token amount of guacamole. All for $20. No value. I ordered The Gringo to go and asked for it to be ready at a certain time. I had to ask three more times while waiting an additional 20 minutes for nothing more than a burger and fries. No refills offered during my visit. I felt ignored and was not a pleasant dining experience when we had to wait so long for everything.
Food is decent, management is so rude. We were originally told 20 minute wait, 45 mins later we finally got seated. That wasn t a big deal, but when we got our food order was wrong and we were ridiculed by management. We asked for our check to pay for our drinks since instead of trying to fix our meals, the manager wanted to argue with us and bully us into eating the wrong meals. She rolled her eyes and waved us off, walking away. We will never be back and refuse to support a business with such terrible management.
Bertas plate was awesome, service was very fast and all food was excellent.
This is my favorite place to eat! Get the appetizer sampler and ask for Oscar! The food is great here!
This is a fun festive and vibrantly decorated place with some FANTASTIC food!
Great place for lunch
Love the decor and the food and margaritas were excellent. I wish Id found it sooner.
The food & portion is amazing! Price is very reasonable! This will be my new go to! Oh, & try the cheesecake dish, it is so good. Very unique! Its hard to find a good Chili Rellno, theirs is my new favorite! Vegetarian options: I eat dairy, I had cheese enchiladas, cheese chilli rellno.
Very good
It was so cold in there, the beans were very nasty the lettuce was frozen we were all just really really disappointed
This is the best texmex Ive ever had, and I have had a lot of texmex.
It was good, the buffet was good. Love their hot sauce! The pork chops and asado are wonderful.
I have eaten at many Mexican food restaurants in the area. This place is at the bottom of the list. The food tastes like everything comes from the frozen food section of a supermarket. Will not go here again.
Great place to eat I had the Plato Mexicano Fast service Good atmosphere Food : 5/5 |
Very expensive!
Always our go-to place when we are in town.
So far the best Mexican food in this area. Taste homemade love their shredded beef flautas. Edited: took two stars off because they no longer serve shredded beef flautas and thats all I really ate here.
Great food. Almost always a long wait at lunch. But worth it if you have the time. Above decent service.
OMG!!! I HAVE BEEN COMING HERE ATLEAST FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS, THERE ARE EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE I STARTED COMING HERE AMD I LOVE THEM. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE!!!
Service was slow but overall it was good
Great food great prices. Service is great! Must go!
First time visiting, and I just Loved it. It was the best Mexican restaurant and I have eaten at many Mexican restaurants. Service was wonderful, food was delicious. Most definitely will be visiting again
Waited over 45 mins when told it be 20 mins Went to bar to try to order drinks took over 30 mins to get someone s attention for a drink Service
Could not ask for anything better! Buffet was amazing and worth the 15.99. Will be back again.
Very good food an service
Its a great place to eat. Nice bar and good drinks as well. The food is delicious. When we went, the service was really slow but luckily we had time. Im sure its not always like that. Over all a great place.
Food was way to salty
Salsa is the best, buffet is excellent but some dishes come out room temp. Love it
I ve been going to La Mission since it has been on Big springs. The food is good I ve had almost everything from breakfast lunch and Dinner. The Breakfast Chili Verda is excellent if you like something spicy. The Pina coladas are also the best even ever had. Tonight I wanted something I hadn t had in a very long time. It s a smothered stew meat burrito very spicy but flavorful also must try. The Manager Joe is an excellent manager he always striving to keep his staff on top of things. He doesn t mind jumping in where needed to make stuff happen. Dietary restrictions: We also have a child allergic to Dairy the staff and kitchen cooks have always made sure there is no cross contamination. Very caring staff!
The young lady that attended me was really nice! Liked the atmosphere, I would rraturnto this restaurant!
Good food quick and to the point and friendly.
First time visiting Midland and this place being the only Mexican restaurant there, was absolutely excited for it. Unfortunately getting seated was confusing and difficult. The place has an amazing scenery quite the decor, but the waitresses were the complete opposite. Our waitress, Lady B, rudely came to my face raising her voice, doing the same with the rest of my group. She did not let any of us finish ordering our food just rushing the whole process. Within receiving our food, the severing was not true to menu, everything was very pricey and just completely unsatisfying, after this experience she started to rudely ignore us. We understand she had other tables but even straightforward she completely ignored us. After the entire experience we wanted to take a group photo, we patiently waited for her when we had asked her to take a photo of us she said one minute and then continued to ignore us making us leave angered and unsatisfied. 12/26/2023 3:35 PM Lady B. Check 106 Table 204
My family has come here many times and had a great experience. We came tonight and the man running the front was so unnecessarily rude that we will never be back. He said the wait is 45 minutes and since our family has a little baby who had a bed time, we asked if he thought it was a strict 45 or if it could be sooner. The man began raises his voice at us saying we needed to move out of the way and go outside and that we were being rude when we did nothing wrong. This is genuinely a situation where no one in our group made a rude comment or did anything to receive this treatment. We will never be back.
Great food!
My kids and I enjoy the buffet. It s fresh/good and there s always something that everyone will like. It can get VERY noisy at peak times though, that s really our only complaint. Kid-friendliness: They are always kind and welcoming to our kids.
Was a basic Tex-Mex buffet. Not a bad place to stop. I would love to go back and order off the menu to see how it really is.
I ordered the Salsa verde, mango margarita and chicken enchiladas with red sauce. Food was very good. Drink was excellent. Waitor was very nice. I think he was overwhelmed and very busy. Had to ask our waitor a few times for water, i had to grab my own napkins.
I loved it
This is our favorite restaurant in Midland! We love the food and the service is always great! Alina s tacos are my favorite. My husband loves the crispy beef tacos, and my boys love the green chicken enchiladas. The fajitas are also really good!
Elegant and if you want quick, utilize their buffet
Good enchiladas the red sauce is authentic
The only issue was we had to wait like twenty minutes for a table and they were a little slow on the refills. Other than that the food was good.
Good Option for Mexican food in Midland. Good beef tacos
Table of 8 Wait staff was bad!!!!! when our food came out, it was put on another table & we were told someone else would be there to pass it out, Food had a hair in it, when wait staff was informed she stated you should have told me wait staff came to our table 3 times during our visit, NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!
If you come to eat here for the buffet, think of Panchos Mexican Buffet... its very similar
It looked a little small inside but the place was beautiful. Very well decorated. Even the sinks in the bathroom were neat. The food was delicious, and Im very grateful the locals pointed me to this place. Even though it was only 5pm, on a weekday, the place is pretty packed and for good reason. My only complaint would be the tables and seats kinda felt like they easily tip over which is not good when you got a bunch of food on the table.
I was reading reviews and some not so nice comments. So, decided to post. I travel for work and Midland is my region. I enjoy this restaurant and I bring others when I am in town. I have brought many of my work associates and even celebrated a team members birthday here. The food is good and affordable and when you are traveling and just want good Mexican food ... this is my go to restaurant. Thank you La Mision for your service and making delicious food for a road warrior like myself.
Laura and Sarahi at the bar were amazing. VERY fast service. VERY AWESOME. We all know that salsa can make or break a restaurant and let me tell you, La Mision has the best salsa I have ever had at a Mexican restaurant. Has a nice kick to it and awesome flavor. I had the Poncho Villa and it was amazing, the carne guisada was so amazing. If you are in the Midland area you have absolutely got to try this place out. Vegetarian options: They have salads Kid-friendliness: Saw many families dining and theres a great kids menu Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs
The food is a little pricey but good. The staff is rude. I understand that they are busy but a smile and change of attitude wouldnt be so bad.
Good food. Decent portions. Great atmosphere.
Really good food! Good service ..
I ENJOYED MY MEAL EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS
Food
We came here for lunch a couple of weeks ago for a co-workers birthday and it was hysterical! Today my son turned 12 so we drove from Odessa for the birthday dessert. I approached our server after ordering and asked him to add a sopapilla ice cream and for them to sing happy birthday to his. He said yes and nodded his head. After waiting 15-20 minutes additional minutes after completing our meal- he asked if we were ready for the check. He brought the check, no dessert, no happy birthday. So I accepted defeat. My son didnt know he was missing out on anything, so we left. I was disappointed.
I love the beef fajitas. And during the week the buffet at lunch is the best around. Service always great.
Awesome place
Love love this place. Great food, so pretty inside, wait staff awesome.
Restaurant is beautiful our server Iran was amazing but the owner is rude couldn t have my alkaline water in its own labeled bottle she sends people to your table and from what I got is that they don t respect her they fear her. She should spend some time in Mexico or in a border city so she can learn what real Mexican food taste like and real Mexican Hospitality waste of $$$$
Bad services I was waiting for my drink for an hour. There staff don t like colored
They may have improved their location, but they havent improved anything else. Vegetarian options: There are none Food : 1/5 |
Very good lunch buffet that I will be going back to very soon! Save room for the fresh sopapillias
Very affordable prices, just Like a Panchos. Got to try their Sopapillas.
Highly recommend sitting at the bar during lunch. The barkeeper is a great guy and always cheerful. He tells pretty good jokes! La Mision makes beans just like my grandma used to make. They always have fresh homemade tortillas. The chile verde is consistently good with just the right amount of spice. Its hard to beat that. Definitely eat the buffet for lunch.
This is the only place I know of in Midland that has a Mexican buffet. That is major points, right there. However, Ive been to this place at least four times and each time, either staff or other patrons were not friendly. Im not sure what is going on here but judging people eat here. The waiters all put as little effort into service. That being said, I do enjoy the food and decor. However, who serves you and the vibe other patrons being is all part of the dinning experience here.
Beautiful inside. So festive! The food is awesome and if youre in hurry they have a great buffet. The people are happy and excellent wait staff!
Excellent Mexican buffet!! Beautiful restaurant!! Vegetarian options: Salad Bar available Food : 5/5 |
If I could leave zero starts I would. I called in an order so it could be ready by the time I got there and still waited forever to receive it. Do they not understand that s why it s a call in.
The food is not good. So many better restaurants in Midland. Everything tastes as though it comes from a can because it probably does.
The food was delicious
Great food ....the fajitas are delicious!
Parking: Nice atmosphere fast and friendly service. Delicious food! Love it there! Recommended dishes
We love it! Real Mexican Food!
The food is serviceable but nothing special. I found my order very bland with salt as the dominant spice. Another person in my party had fajitas, which he enjoyed. Service was efficient, pleasant and prompt. The chips and salsa were great.
Very average tasting food. Nothing special.
Terrible service. Rude workers, and even dumber idiots that couldn t even work a tv remote or know how to pour a beer.
New place is pretty nice. Food (steak fajitas) was good, queso is meh. Tacos are very good, must ask for shredded cheese if you want some. Service is very good, margaritas are delicious. Great place
Great place to take the family or even set back and a drink at the bar and watch the game.
Great food and great service :)
It just depends on the person we get a far as service? There are a lot of new servers??? But everything else is great!!!
Excellent food & invigorating atmosphere!
Great atmosphere, great wait staff. The buffet was very good and fresh food.
Great food!! This place has the flavors! Their lunch buffet never fails. If you cant decide from the absolutely awesome menu, the a la carte lunch buffet is the way to go!! Red enchiladas, red beef enchiladas, green chicken enchiladas, beans both charro/refried, best rice, chile verde, carne guisada, crispy beef tacos, and a salad bar that goes hard!! If you cannot figure out where to go for lunch this place is the place to go in a pinch!
First time and I loved it
Limited menu, in my opinion. The flavor was okay. The service was great.
Excellent service and reasonable price per person.
I give this place a 4.5 stars. Food is great, the Cadillac marg is great and the price is fair. Great TexMex.
A good place 2 eat
Place s beautiful food s good. I m going back tomorrow 4 sure
Tasty food! Good atmosphere
I ve been here several times and this is my first review. The food is perfectly seasoned. Great service. You may want to make reservations because there can be a wait. I always eat at the bar. If you like love Mexican food, this is your chance place.
Close to the hotel, great service, clean, good white folk Mexican food. It is what it is. The salsa and chips are tasty.
