Call it a 2.5. My…read moregroup wanted to like this place, and on the surface it seems like a slam dunk. Good "elevated" Mexican food is hard to come by and the menu seemed interesting. The tequila list with Fortaleza and the like gave me a lot of hope as well. Alas, it was not to be. Not a hint of spice in anything, from the salsa to the various meals we had. You can tell the quality of the ingredients was good, but the *flavor* was just not there. This began with the salsa, which looked promising but had zero taste. My group had three entrees - beer battered fish tacos, the 3 taco combo (cochinita pibil, quesabirria, and a taco de tinga), and the mixed grill. I also had the La Sandia cocktail, which took forever and tasted... unfortunate. It had an odd salty note and a weirdly thick consistency that reminded me of PediaLyte. Not the best beginning. The overall theme for the meals was the same - everything was acceptable but boring, especially in the flavor we were hoping for. The term we came up with was "inoffensive" - no spice to speak of in anything, despite the items being seasoned and not bland. The mixed grill is huge and the grilled cheese included is a fun addition, and the ingredients in the tacos tasted high-quality (lots of raves about the tortillas) but there was no kick to anything. Perhaps we needed to adjust expectations, but when I come to a Mexican place - even a chain - I expect a little more, you know? Service was very slow during an admittedly slow time of day and it took a long time to receive anything besides chips, but everything was fresh when it arrived. Portion sizes were perfectly acceptable for the price. Our visit was not memorable and I don't expect to be back, but we were glad to give it a try.

Vince was an outstanding bartender. His cocktails were perfectly balanced, he was attentive without hovering, and he genuinely seemed to care that everyone was having a great experience. He was happy to answer questions, made great recommendations, and created such a welcoming atmosphere. Savannah was great too. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the ambiance was exactly what I was looking for. If I could, I'd start every morning here. Vince truly made my day, and that's not something you can say about many places. 10/10 experience. I can't wait to come back!

When you enter, the counter you order at is directly in front of you. They have digital menu boards to the right and a self-serve soda fountain to the left. You order at the counter. They give you a number and they bring it to your seat. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The seating area inside the restaurant has about five tables. Seating outside has a few round picnic style tables with umbrellas. We ordered one Machaca burrito and one Carne Asada burrito. I used to love the Machaca at this restaurant. It was always full of tomatoes and onions, peppers and shredded meat, but on today's visit, I felt it was lacking all of the above. I will say the meat was seasoned well, but there wasn't much inside my burrito. Please see photos below. The Carne Asada burrito was a little bit larger. It consisted of pico, guacamole, beans, cheese, and grilled steak. The steak had a nice char on it. We each ordered a side of green chili. It was decent, but definitely did not have that New Mexican Hatch green chili flavor that I was searching for. I will say I do enjoy their chips and salsa. The salsa is chunky and a bit watery, but definitely has good flavor.

I had the hatch chile mac and cheese with the smoky mushroom and it was absolutely delicious - quite spicy so make sure you can handle the heat! I also had a hatch chile cornbread muffin - the side of honey butter was a really nice touch, it's delicious. I'm a vegetarian and picked two items from the main menu, but they also have a dedicated plant-based menu. Many craft beer options on tap, and beautiful cocktails as well. The inside is perfectly dark and a bit goth with great decoration. I thought the TVs playing sports took away from the vibes a bit but I get that some people want that. A bit disappointed that the bathrooms were not in the theme, but everything else is beautiful. It took a bit of time to get our food, but I recognize I went at a busy time on a Friday evening. The rooftop patio is gorgeous. Ample parking outside, even on a busy Friday evening!

He was incredibly kind and attentive, especially with my friend who is deaf, making sure we always had water, napkins, and plenty of chips. The margarita flight is always a must for me, so I had to order one for my friend since it was her first visit. I told her that even though neither of us are into spicy margaritas, I knew she'd love it and I was right! Every margarita was delicious. I also ordered the lavender lemonade, which was refreshing and just as good. Ghost Ranch never seems to miss when it comes to drinks. Potato tacos! Another must have My friend ordered the Aztec Cake and insisted I'd regret not getting it. She was absolutely right. It was bomb and Torrance offered us a side of chips .TY. I ordered the short rib. It was flavorful, tender, and filling, with lots of garlic and savory flavor. I'm not sure if short rib is just not my thing, but it didn't wow me the way the Aztec Cake did. I warmed it up later and it was delicious a second time so no complaints. Excellent service, delicious drinks, and a fun way to spend the Fourth. We'll definitely be back!

We ordered combination plates with tacos, rice, beans, and enchiladas, along with a couple of drinks. The portions were generous, everything arrived hot, and the enchilada was absolutely delicious.

Payment is handled by scanning the QR code at the table, which took us a moment to figure out but was quick and easy once we did.
