What people say, in short
Mission is a bar and restaurant with more than one DC location; this entry is the Navy Yard one, though a couple of comments name the Dupont branch. Opinions are mostly positive but mixed: one suggests it for margaritas and Mexican fare, one calls it great, and one enjoyed it as a fallback when another spot was full. One found it enjoyable yet packed. One mocks the overpriced margaritas and a loud, packed weekend scene, and one calls the food and drinks mediocre.
