Mission Navy Yard

went with 7 people a little after my sisters bridal for dinner on a Saturday at 6:30 and it wasn't too busy in the sit down restaurant area upstairs (probably due to bad weather the last couple of days). the waitress we had was super attentive and nice!! it was but loud but due to the bar area but not too bad we couldn't all talk with each other. we got 2 chips and salsa as appetizers for everyone which were really good (about $3.50 each i think) and then for dinner i got 2 boom boom chicken tacos which were AMAZING!! perfect mix of sweet/spicy/tangy!! i ended up getting a third bc i was still a little hungry and they tasted so good! i probably could've been fine with two but don't regret the third! definitely a bit pricey but you're paying for the location and to be expected in the area probably.

If you love being ignored with intentional no eye contact from the chubby tatted up white girl at the bar, despite my polite attempts to get her attention, this is the place for you. Even the bar-back, who I greeted with a polite smile and a Hello, and who made direct eye contact with me, made zero effort to tell any available bartender I'd like help. Assuming he's not non-verbal, it's just weird and rude. Zero hospitality after 7 trying my patience minutes. I bounced. I should have came as a white man I guess if I needed service, idk.

Mission at the Navy Yard stands within steps away from Washington Nationals Park. Prior to my visit, I do recognize other options were favored based on recent reviews, but I took the chance, and I do regret it. Be it an off day or the standard of service in this restaurant, Mission was not it for me. Disappointing.On the day of my visit, IDs were being checked at the door. And it went downhill from there. Arrived on the 2nd floor and was told service would be quicker sitting at the bar versus at the bartops. The bartenders on the day of our visit seemed really spaced out. It may be the combination of bombardment of crowds from the game and heat, it has been a while since I received service with very poor interaction. Cold, hesitant, and impatient. Orders were simple, as offerings of the day are simple. Nothing complicated, but chips, salsa, and tacos... the meal was bland and passable.Goodness gracious, no thank you. Maybe another day.

Mission Navy Yard was a fun spot! Went for a post-work college alumni event with friends and had a great time trying their drinks and enjoying the beautiful day.Mission is a bit smaller than I expected, but had enough room to fill what seemed to be 70-80 people. My friends and I enjoyed the spicy chips and salsa that paired well with our drinks.Definitely not my go-to spot in Navy Yard, but a decent choice nonetheless!

I stopped by Mission with a friend prior to going to a DC United game. I ended up getting three tacos, hot honey salmon, boom boom chicken, and arrachera steak. Energy was high good music and all around good vibes. Food was fantastic and definitely more filling than I thought it was going to be.

Went out to celebrate my brother's birthday and Mission was one of many stops. I didn't eat much here, just ordered chips and salsa. The star of the show was the espresso martini, followed up with two classic margaritas, and a DJ made the atmosphere lively. The bartenders were great. We had just missed happy hour once we arrived, but I will definitely go again! Lots of fun, ten out of ten !

I was early for a presentation i had to give in the area, and there was going to be no gluten free food there so i stopped at mission for tacos and a margarita. When i saw they had a guy at the door checking ids i got excited because that usually means its a vibe. There was only 7 of us in the bar area downstairs but i kept seeing people go upstairs for brunch, and the music sounded like a dj. It was afro beats and hip hop which hyped me for my presentation. Tacos were bomb but they took a little while - guessing the place was packed. The strawberry margarita was good. The water cup tasted like it had remnants of previous fruit drinks in it - like on a cruise ship on the pool deck w their plastic cups. So i did think to myself they could do a little better washing dishes especially on porous plastic. All in all i would go back and check out the upstairs!

A fun place to end the evening with dinner. After going over to enchant at Nats park a few friends and I went to Mission. Definitely a cool vibe in restaurant part and also there was a bar area but we had someone under 21 with us so we had to go to the restaurant which was totally fine.We started with some quaso and chips. Which was pretty good. Had a nice heat to it along with gooy cheesy. Would recommend starting with it.I got enchiladas with Carnitas. It was well cooked with cheese full melted along with the carnitas. The carnitas was well seasoned was just a little over done and tasted a bit dry. It was well balanced with the enchilada sauce which was the star of the dish and created a great balance of savory and spicy.My friends got tacos and the dinner burrito. Everyone said they really liked it.Overall the next time Im in navy yard I will be back and would recommend to others.

Enjoyed tacos and a margarita on Taco Tuesday. The carnitas, double decker, and the house margarita were delicious. The service was friendly and quick. The environment was a bit louder than I expected but not unbearable.

We rented out the cactus room for our holiday party and absolutely loved it. Everyone we worked with was super kind and made our private event fun, personal, not to mention the amazing food and drinks! I had so many people from our group tell me how much they enjoyed the space, we will be back!
