You'll pay for every little add-on and there are no complimentary chips & salsa... However, everything was delicious and you can tell it was made with fresh ingredients. Overall, would definitely recommend! Extremely good. Nice Syracuse spot.

Great little place! They have a brunch menu on Sunday. Had the sweet potato chorizo hash. It was awesome! They won an award for that dish in 2018. If you need a accessible entrance, go to the left if you are standing in front of the building.

Excellent food. Tortilla soup was so different than any other. The homemade salsa with their own green sauce was amazing. Waitress was so well informed about the restuarant and it's food. The authenticity of the church was also incredible. Not from the area, but will go back when in town.

Did you ever hear of a Mojito made with a wine based alcohol? I was skeptical but the Mission does not have a liquor license so the drink selection was limited. It was EXCELLENT!!!!!!!

A lovely restaurant in an old church, has a cool vibe and hip interior. Food is great if like one tad more expensive than you would like but the food is high quality and it's downtown so it evens out. Gives you free chips and salsa which is super fresh and good as well lots of their house hot sauce. Drinks are good as well and they certainly don't skimp on the amount. The place is small though so try to get there early to get a table. Parking lots and street parking are generally good and close by as well.

Always a pleasure to eat here! Had a party of 8, our waiter Zach was awesome! He made sure everything came out quickly and when it should. The nacho appetizers were large enough to share and the clam appetizer is a MUST to try! Simply delicious. Most had the various enchilada meals, few deviated, one nice fish dish , all were very happy with their meals!! If you have not gone, you must!! Only "negative" comment is that they only have a wine/ beer licence, so we could not have an authentic margarita!. Otherwise, very happy with everything!
