This is very good Mexican food for the east coast. I got a chicken burrito and it was huge and delicious! I would recommend getting extra salsa on the side. The chicken was tender, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the beans were so flavorful! I wish there had been more salsa in the burrito, but overall it's very solid especially for being in western Massachusetts. Definitely the best Mexican food I've had in non-urban area.

Parking: I love their quesadillas and there's plenty of them. Servers are great and the food is even better. I have friends that's go for forty five minutes drives every week to get there food.

Taking my review down one star because we just drove over an hour to get here, had friends meet us from an hour another direction and they're closed when the hours say they should be open. Second update: tons of cars pulling in and leaving.. while we were figuring out where else to go a guy who placed an online order asked us how to get in... they didn't even turn off their online ordering when deciding to not open. While I hope there wasn't some kind of emergency and this was just a bad decision because it's Super Bowl Sunday, this is wild...
I love them! I have been coming here with my family for years. Roughly around 2012 when they were still the small little restaurant. All of their food is really great and I'm always happy with whatever I get. The servers are always very friendly especially the ones that have been there since the beginning. I only knocked off one star since they stopped having a steak option for a meat choice. Really great restaurant, with great staff and food. This is the spot I always bring my guests from out of town to. :)

We stopped in at the mission cantina on a rather cold and dismal Friday evening. I hadn't been there since the beginning of the pandemic when it was takeout only with a few picnic tables in the parking lot. We started with a margarita, a sangria, and the chili which came with tortilla chips for dipping etc. It was excellent with an amazing depth of flavor, I'd definitely order it again. They had fried clam tacos as a special, who was I to say no so I ordered 2.... First off, the tacos were much larger than I expected. I definitely could have gotten away with ordering one. The first taco was pretty sublime with nice crispy breading and tender clams. The second taco not so much. There was a lot of shell/grit and a couple of the clams were super rubbery. I love mission cantina and will definitely be back, but I don't think I'd order these again. We left with a liter of their yummy sangria.

Absolutely delicious, friendly service, and they got 5 stars from me officially (which might have been a 4- just bc the menu is a limited and they don't allow any modifications- that's tough with kids and allergies) because I had to offset the stupidity of a previous reviewer who gave one star- because he was lonely and there weren't enough other customers there to entertain him. It's a restaurant not a support group! Will definitely be back! Portions were large, I was moved to leave a review after enjoying the yummy leftovers for lunch.

One of the largest burritos I have ever had. Must have weighed over a pound. No way I was going to finish it in one meal. Very fresh flavors. Salsa was quite different than the normal salsa on other places. Very unique flavor. And the salad was to die for. Not sure what that dressing is. But I could have put it on anything.

I mean, it's Mission. Fresh authentic Mexican cuisine, amazing atmosphere, margaritas forever, probably the largest tequila selection for a restaurant in the region. Usually order to go. Burritos are amazing!Parking: Can be a challenge when busy.
Food was amazing and a great portion. Menu is limited. The guava mojito wasn't good, I only tasted the alcohol. Their chips were cold, and you have to buy the sauce separately,and it's not even enough for the huge number of chips. They give you a little pitcher of water, but no glass with ice, and the water tasted like the literally just got poured from the faucet. At least give some ice. Server was nice.

Limited menu but the burritos are good.

The food was good, but the prices are honestly bizarre. $6+ dollars for a taco are absurd; if they charged you that in a high end restaurant in LA they'd go broke.

I've been going to MC for a couple years now consistently, and it has remained probably my favorite place to go in the area. The staff are incredibly kind people and make it such a fun place to visit. At this point I've tried almost everything on the menu and it's all so good (my favorites are the braised beef tacos/nachos/quesadilla and the spicy pork & pineapple tacos). Margaritas are really good too. This place is an absolute gem.

The Mission Cantina is the real deal. Great food, drinks, and service. Best Mexican fare in the valley.
