Mission Taqueria is proud to introduce our new Executive Chef: Alejandro Martín Sánchez. 🙏
Ale joined the Mission fam right after the new year, and in just a few months has majorly leveled things up in our kitchen.
How would he describe his approach to Mexican cuisine? “Ni de aquí, ni de allá.” Neither here, nor there. As a border kid from Brownsville, TX / Tamaulipas, MEX, Chef Alejandro himself is a mix of Mexican and American cultures that ultimately shaped his culinary style.
Having worked under Michelin ranked chefs in Texas, Ale arrived in Philly as part of the opening team at LMNO. Now at Mission, he’s excited to show Philly his particular interpretation of modern Mexican cuisine.
“I make food that makes grandmas upset.” Ale alway makes this joke because his food is far from traditional, but neither is Mission, and we love that about him. 😊
