This place was recommended to us by a fellow working at a hotel. Good choice sir! Very nice breakfast/brunch restaurant with a very nice infomal, family type atmosphere. Excellent food and choice of beverages. This place is recommended to all! It is a popular place, so weekends you can expect to wait before getting seated. We waited on average around... more

We had a wonderful breakfast at the Mission Restaurant in Mission Beach. A fun, funky decor greeted us, and we were seated promptly. Between four of us, we tried blueberry pancakes, granola-banana pancakes, french toast, plus chicken-apple sausage, bacon, & eggs. Yum! It was all delicious. And sizable portions, too. No ocean or bay view here, but you are steps... more

Breakfast was great and portions were huge. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for breakfast with a mexican twist. The price was good considering the amount of food we were given. more

Look, breakfast just isn't that hard to do well, but I just have to give credit here: the Mission is just consistently great. There are a few locations, but this one is local for me. Their cinnamon bread french toast borders on being obscenely good (best to be shared with another unless you're feeling particularly gluttonous), and their pancakes are... more

After finding this location a way from the beach where we were staying, I was glad we did. Great food, excellent friendly wait staff and management. Would recommend this to anyone visiting San Diego. more

Pancakes that are fluffy and light. They are so delicious, syrup is not necessary. Rosemary potatoes are grilled to perfection. They are crisp but not burnt. Other menu items look great, but I haven't wondered from these ideal carbs. Weekends can have a wait, but weekdays are easier to have a leisurely, slow meal. more

Perfect place for breakfast. Food is just right. Coffee is hot, fresh, and flavorful. Difficult to decide which dish to order since everything is very good. more

Chose The Mission from reviews online. They did not disappoint. There is nothing overly fabulous about it...but nothing terribly bad. There was a wait to get in (which is always a good sign) but the line moved quickly. There was no one at the front to greet guests when they arrived...my friend saw the list and started to write her... more

Great breakfast specialties that have a southwest flair. Several other locations all menu items good. more
