THE LEAD VERDICT
“that carne asada at la mission has a proper char on it - reminds me of good barbacoa back in nashville. i mean meat's got smoky depth and isnt afraid of heat from teh salsa roja 10/10”
“literally beans were pretty bland tbh - could use bacon fat or jsut better seasoning. down south we dont mess around with underseasoned legumes skip it”
ALSO FILED
“i mean massive burritos for under ten bucks. teh carne asada was perfectly seasoned and beans werent mushy quick service too in and out in five minutes”
“ran out of guacamole at 2pm on a saturday. come on thats basic inventory management for a mexican place”

CONTRIBUTING CRITICS
“incredible value their SUPER burrito is easily two meals for 8.50 packed with quality ingredients that dont taste cheap. rice is perfectly seasoned and they dont skimp on protein like some places 10/10”
“extra guac costs 2.50 which feels steep when the whole burrito is under ten dollars. that upcharge seems kinda out of proportion with the base price”
“legit la missions carnitas burrito reminds me of the best chinatown roast pork - that same tender falling-apart texture and deep savory flavor from slow cooking done RIGHT chefs kiss”
“teh rice was dry and needed way more seasoning. in dim sum every component matters - same thing should apply here nuff said”
“la missions quesadillas are huge and the kids demolished them - perfectly melted cheese, just the right amount of chicken. great value for feeding the family without breaking the bank”
“parking on university ave is brutal during lunch. had to circle the block twice while the kids got increasingly hangry in the backseat”
“stepping into this place feels like someones warm welcoming kitchen. colorful murals on the walls upbeat music and you can watch the kitchen do its thing. casual but still has that neighborhood spot energy that makes you wanna become a regular”
“gets LOUD when its busy which makes it hard to actually talk to people. tbh the hard surfaces adn tight space create this echo effect that's kinda overwhelming during peak hours”
“la missions breakfast burrito is the size of a small child and costs like eight bucks. scrambled eggs hash browns cheese salsa - all the hangover essentials wrapped up”
“the coffee situation is tragic - jsut basic drip from a pot thats been sitting there forever. ive had better coffee at gas stations lol”
“finally found a burrito spot that doesnt shy away from heat! their hot salsa has legitimate fire not the fake burn from cheap sauce but real depth with jalapenos and serranos that build as you eat. carnitas had serious flavor too”
“even their mild salsa was pretty bland tbh. not even kidding they need something between nothing and molten lava for people who want flavor without the full assault. more spice levels would help everyone”
