It's a nice, clean, and chill place. Calm atmosphere, with a nice, open look onto the street outside. Nothing special about the street outside but I thought I might aswell mention it given that the big, see through garage doors take up one of the 4 walls of this establishment. It's a very fun look. Anyway, the food is excellent, and my favorite item has to be the Beef Empanadas, not that the other food isn't stellar. I had the brah-rito, which was delicious. I also wanted to mention that while this place mainly serves Mexican style food, it isn't Mexican themed. It's a fun contrast, feeling a bit more modern while serving traditional food, although the food isn't THAT traditional. The food is American-style mexican dishes. It also adopts a more modern stance, being served on metalic serving ware and up to date ceramics. While I like the look, older Mexican restaurants definitely have a certain energy this joint lacks. All in all though, very good.

Server was very attentive and kind. It was not too busy during lunch hour and was very quiet and relaxing. I like that all of the tacos are sold as singles because it allowed us to try several different tacos- and every single one was packed with flavor. This will be our go-to taco spot from now on!

Delicious food, great cheesy dip and chips! I love their brahrito (burrito featuring fries). Good stuff all around, and wonderful location in the Crossroads.

Session taco is a vibe - this one really appeals to the skater/surfer Cali vibe. Got the LA street dog and fries, it took me back. Great rum selection, food came fast, drinks altogether were a great selection as well. Happy hour was great for the wallet! Service was friendly and a dope vibe. Will be coming back. Emily crushed it!

The food here was really good! I enjoyed everything I ate but I feel like they were pretty pricey. They are called Session Tacos now instead of mission. Service was great and food came out what felt like 5 minutes after we ordered.
