If you’re looking for a breakfast spot that hits all the right notes of flavor, heartiness, and authenticity, La Mission is a hidden gem you’ll want to put on your radar. I dropped by early morning and left with a belly full of joy—thanks to their compact yet crave-worthy menu that celebrates Mexican comfort food at its best.
Let’s start with the Breakfast Burrito—a handheld masterpiece. Imagine perfectly scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, and seasoned chorizo all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. Every bite is a satisfying blend of soft, crispy, and spicy. But if you want something with a little more kick, go straight for the Huevos Con Chorizo. The savory sausage dances with fluffy eggs, delivering that bold, traditional flavor you expect from a home-style Mexican breakfast.
The Potato & Egg Crispy Tacos surprised me the most—simple, but incredibly addictive. The shell has that golden crunch, and the potato-egg combo inside is comforting without being heavy. Pair that with their Huevos Rancheros—sunny-side-up eggs laid over lightly fried tortillas, drenched in zesty ranchero sauce—and you've got a dish that looks like art and tastes like soul food.
On weekends, don’t skip the Menudo. This rich, deeply spiced beef tripe soup is a traditional Mexican hangover cure, but it’s also just plain good. Slow-cooked, aromatic, and served hot—it’s the kind of dish that makes you feel taken care of.
Wash it all down with an ice-cold Mexican Coke—sweeter, fizzier, and the perfect match to all the savory flavors. Add some Chips on the side for that extra crunch factor, and you’re golden.
La Mission doesn’t overcomplicate things—it just gets them right. And in a breakfast world full of imitations, that’s a delicious difference.
