Fort Oak
A Mission Hills dinner-and-drinks choice with a menu built for a proper night out, especially when pork chops and whiskey cocktails are the brief.
“Not only do they serve some of the best pork-chops you can find but their cocktail selection is awesome, especially their whiskey drinks!”

Tony's Fresh Mexican Food
Mexican
The only taco shop open late in Mission Hills, per Roger, though the burrito nearly always arrives rushed — either the meat isn't properly warmed or the tortilla is hard as a rock; open 24/7, but he says come with low expectations.
