IT’S JUST LUNCH: MISSION RESTAURANT
Welcome
Now that Mission Restaurant is open, don’t forget to check them out for lunch. Their lunch menu is slightly scaled back but essentially the same. It’s a great patio and because the food is Latin inspired and not Mexican, you can actually return to work without a deep fried Chimichanga coma.
EATERAZ sampled a few dishes that were all wonderful. Obviously starting out with the Tableside Guacamole is a given. The server is happy to make it “how you like it.” Want it spicier, saltier or more citrus, just tell them.
The Pork Shoulder Tacos were the favorite. Rich Braised Pork, in a savory sauce cooked absolutely to perfection. The Shredded Braised Beef Arepas was also a carnival of flavors — Braised Beef with red Bell Peppers and Onions served atop a black bean spread with Plantains on top. The Chicken Tacos were a bit on the salty side, but definitely not meant to be counted out. Chicken in general is usually the loss leader of excitement when matched against such an ingredient tour de force. The visual showstopper was the Kobe Beef Hot Dog. This bad boy is certainly a meal unto itself so do not be fooled into thinking it is a skinny Oscar Meyer wiener waiting to be inhaled. This dog is served in a fantastic piece of form fitted toast covered with Pinto Beans, White Onions and finshed with Cilantro and Cojita Cheese. One word — whoa!
We were not physically able to order dessert, although owner Brian Raab did grace us with a plate of mini Chocolate Churros served with what seemed to be a Chocolate Milkshake. Sad but true, we were not surprisingly stuffed, but we did manage to gulp a few down and even dip them in the milkshake á la Raab.
