“The menu features a vast selection of mezcals and tequilas prepared in a list of award-winning signature cocktails or served traditionally alongside traditional salts and fresh fruit. On top of that, a menu of Mexican bites like Nachos Especiales goes perfectly with a Stealth Margarita or three!”

Behind Ghost Donkey is Flagship Restaurant Group. According to Flagship’s website , Ghost Donkey is “A warm and inviting space with a healthy dose of city grit, Ghost Donkey is rich with vibrant colors and a carefree, fun-loving attitude that evokes notions of Mexican celebration.”

Ghost Donkey creates an experience-driven, unforgettable moment for every guest who joins the fiesta.”
