Description

Since it first opened in 1996, Mission Burrito has made a name for itself serving big-as-your-bicep burritos filled with fresh ingredients and that much has remained the same. These days, however, the original location of the chain now offers a range of other dishes, from tacos (on flour, corn or low-carb tortillas) to its famous Que Mas salad as well as a lineup of great Mexican beers and excellent frozen margaritas to wash them down with. As an added bonus for parents, its playground out front is irresistible to the kids.

Despite all the fabulous burgers and enchiladas Houston has to offer, sometimes you just gotta sneak in a salad.

And please, no more of those offensive, licensed-character-du-jour Happy Meal toys. What you need is Mission Burritos on Alabama. Grab a table on the oak-shaded patio, and leave your adult dining companion to watch as the kids frolic in the grassy fenced yard. For the rugrats, order the kids' meal;... More »

Is Mission Burrito Trying to Compete with Torchy's Tacos?

By Katharine Shilcutt | Thu, May 17, 2012

I get the feeling that Mission Burrito is suddenly trying to compete with newcomer Torchy's Tacos, the Austin import that features tacos with fillings like fried chicken and names like the Dirty Sanch... More »

Wrap It Up

By Mitchell J. Shields | Thu, May 22, 1997

I admit that it took me a while to warm up to Mission Burritos. And I'll further admit that I seem to be alone in this. Almost everyone I speak to who's eaten there talks about it with almost, well, missionary fervor. When I suggested to one frien... More »
