Reviews for Ghost Ranch: Modern Southwest Cuisine in Tempe, AZ

This place is visually stimulating, it feels like your eating in a southwestern art gallery. Rustic southwestern decor with the... smell of fresh made corn tortillas and a full bar. It's Mexican fine dining. The menu options are unique and the presentation ofthe food is in such a manner you feel as if your at a high end restaurant in Mexico city. Ohhh and the flavors are sooooincredible. Cheese, creme, fresh cut tomatoes, thick guacamole, salsas. This place is delicious. Read more

Delightful authentic, well prepared southwestern food. Friendly staff. Busy so you may have to wait but it is WORTH it. Each... dish we ordered was very good. Portions are generous. Drinks are good. Can't miss with Ghost Ranch. Read more

In all honesty, we went to Ghost Ranch twice during our 4 day visit because it was so good! The fresh ingredients, flavor... combinations, and presentation were all super. Homemade chips, salsas, and guacamole were a nice start. The citrus salad wasawesome. Chile relleno and seasonal vegetable enchiladas were totally scrumptious. Rancho papas on the side good and filling. Will definitely be back when in town. Read more

I was surprised by this place! Nobody ever talks about it but they should! Interior is really nice & clean, beautifully... decorated. I got the swordfish taco platter to share & the salsa & guac dip appetizer with a Paloma to drink! The corn tortillaswere hand made fresh right then & they were amazing!!! Fish was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. I?m usually not a red salsafan but even this one was good! Guac and green salsa were amazing! I can?t wait to come back here & try another dish!

Wow! Phenomenal, modern takes on southwestern cuisine in a charming, fun environment. From the moment we sat down, to the... moment we walked out the door, the staff at Ghost Ranch were beyond accommodating, and the food, let me tell you about the food,it was absolutely delicious. We had the Aztec Cake and the Roasted Chicken Enchilada for our main courses. Both werephenomenal, then we finished with the Churro Ice Cream Sandwich (which was otherworldly). 100 out of 10! Will eat again. Read more

Fantastic! Really really good. Picked somewhat at random when family was in town and everyone was PLEASANTLY surprised. The... chicken tortilla soup, the tortilla cake thing, even the cheese crisp (whoooooaaa the cheese crisp!), the Tumbleweed (drink),the service...everything was awesome! Highly recommended!! Only caveat: The relleno...if you're expecting a "breaded and friedchili stuffed with cheese", you're in for a surprise. I didn't try these so I can't comment on them directly, but they WEREN'Tsent back. Must not have been too bad. ???? Read more

This place lived up to all the reviews I?ve heard. I had the aguachile appetizer which was amazing and flavorful. It?s not like... the traditional dish but it all came together deliciously. My entree was the grilled rainbow trout which was phenomenal,probably one of the best dishes I?ve had in a while. Fish was perfectly cooked and all of the flavors together was definitelysomething special. My sister had the Aztec cake which was very delicious as well. Service was pretty good, my cocktail had alittle too much ice, and the salads were too earthy for my taste but toppings and dressings were good. Can?t wait to returnagain soon. Read more

Ghost Ranch where do I start? What a cute little hidden jewel of a place. One of my colleagues told me about this place and it... was the best thing that she could have done. From the moment we walked in the door the service was on point. We had not only ourwaitress but other staff at the restaurant come by several times to check on us including the manager. The guacamole wasdelicious and the drinks were simply fantastic. The fact that happy hour is every single day of the week and the drinks are ofthe quality that they are makes me so happy. We had the plate that included the steak and it was one of the most tender juicieststeaks Ive ever had. The flavor was reminiscent of homemade with love type of food. The flan dessert at the end completely setoff the experience as it was a party in your mouth. Totally one of my favorite restaurants so far in Phoenix and I will be aregular for sure. Read more
