Price: 3.5 Atmosphere: 7.7 Taste: 5.7 Overall: 5.65 Michaela's Review: I like to think of myself as a regular at Mission. Do I personally know the bartenders?

Taco Bamba
Price: 5.5 Atmosphere: 7.9 Taste: 7.6 Overall: 7.15 Michaela's Review: Great atmosphere (7.9 points for Gryffindor) and had a full service bar, but the set-up was a little cluttered and it was unclear that there were servers in the bar area, whereas the low seats were order from the counter only. Salsa was pretty good... Continue Reading →
