Awesome breakfast and great service. The have a very creative menu with great options for all. Worth the wait.

Claudia Ceja-Perez

Sooo Good! My husband had the Zen Breakfast & I had the Strawberry Bannana Pancakes with scrambled eggs & bacon ! I shared my pancakes with my hubby; they're a good size, more than enough for two!

Rebecca Balnis

weekends average wait time is an hour but it's more like 35 minutes when you're dealing with professionals like this crew. Brunch is satisfying and well worth the wait.

Daniel L.

Possibly the best breakfast in SD? Don't leave without getting the rosemary potatoes on your plate somehow. Super friendly staff - bar seating is the best way to go.

Desirae

Alright guys, here's the insider skinny on the mission. Expect a wait on the weekends unless you come either before 8:30 or after 2. Snag a spot at the coffee bar for a shorter wait. Don't get hangry!

Jim Womack

The Vincent Vega changed my beverage life. Espresso (don't say expresso bros), coca cola , vanilla . I only wish they'd made me a Royale avec du Fromage . ¡Buen desayunos hombres!

Valentino

I've tried the different chorizo plates under the chorizo specials section and was not disappointed. The Hanger Steak Hash & Eggs was also good.

Breakfast at The Mission shouldn’t be missed! They focus on creating affordable , healthy dishes with an artistic flair. Many of their dishes are Mexican inspired, and also vegetarian/vegan conscious!

Robbie Williams

Nice little spot. Crowded by 9am on Saturday. We got yogurt , fruit , rosemary potatoes and strawberry granola pancakes . Favorite item was Rosemary potatoes ! Enjoy!!

Indira Kumar

Plato verde was amazing! Tomatillo salsa was so refreshing and can’t beat tamales for breakfast .

Levaker

Best and one of the oldest breakfast places in SD. Others come and go. Just come here and see.

Andrew Zaenglein

Cafe con Chocolate is awesome. Great coffee drink menu over all.

Fernando Melendez

First time here and had the Chilaquiles . Very good. Just the right amount of kick (heat level in sauce). Great service, too!

Scott L.

Be sure to go early in the weekend otherwise you won't be able to enjoy the awesomeness without a huge wait.

Kakaface Doody

Eat quickly. They always have the A/C set to arctic and blowing straight down upon you. Your food will be flash frozen if you don't inhale your breakfast like a starving animal.

Scott Sullivan

Tamales verde is by far the best vegetarian tamale ever. Probably the best non vegetarian also!

Manu P

Only a 20 minutes wait on a busy Saturday morning. Great stuff, delicious Breakfast Burrito and good coffee . Thumbs up!

Sue Heim

Great sandwiches !! And, of course, awesome service! (Best to go later in the day, mornings are always packed!)

Justin Walker

Love the soy chorizo breakfast burrito ! Make sure to go early because it gets really busy.

Sal

Amazing quality of breakfast . Beautiful presentation of plates. Very recomendable.

San Diego Reader

No visit is complete without a bite of a strawberry , banana , and granola pancake (if you can’t handle a stack, you can order just one pancake to share).

Mike Diaz

The French toast is delicious and lives up to the hype. It's best on its own so don't ruin it by adding syrup .

Angela

Zen breakfast was so delicious yet healthy. The chicken apple sausage was awesome too.

Just Hampton

Go early (before 830a) to avoid waiting or opt to sit at the bar if it is available, very busy on weekends but worth the wait, French Toast FTW!

Tara Munikar

Got the vegetarian Plato con huevos and the bf got pancakes . Both were excellent!

Tim O'Neil

The French toast is heavenly, plus they feature a ton of different coffees . Pair one with the French toast and you'll be all set.

Antony O

Strange dining setup (big box room with tables laid out in a grid), but food was solid.

The Mission is to brunch what Al Green is to sex. Never let's you down.

The French toast is the best I've had in my entire life. Mercy.
