Ghost Modern Mexican: Authentic & Modern Mexican Cuisine in Pontiac, MI

Wow. I’m so glad this place was recommended to me for lunch. What a great place to grab a bite and enjoy great company. Perfect for business lunches or networking over a phenomenal modern Mexican meal. Ghost does not disappoint. The food and drinks are presented well, way beyond expectations. But nothing tops how amazing the staff is. So they very friendly and so well educated with everything they have to offer. Our plates were served up fast too. Minimal wait time. The staff made sure to check in on us regularly as well while the food was being prepared. They were also very keen on making sure one of our plates met specific dietary restrictions. Pretty sure I found my new favorite place for lunch. Highly recommended and conveniently located on south blvd and Woodward.

Excellent authentic Mexican food with a modern twist! With a party of 6 (including 2 children), we had a wonderful experience. The space was repurposed and redesigned with a comfortable and fun flair. Friendly staff quickly greeted us and provided complimentary fresh warm tortillas chips and salsa. The menu had several options and variations of beer, chicken, pork and shrimp. Kids menu has several options and came with crayons and a small toy. Everything ordered was delicious and we cannot wait to go back! Looking forward to trying the Birria Ramen next time!!

Beyond my expectations! I came here honestly expecting typical, watered-down Mexican food — but wow, was I wrong! (Although, for anyone who prefers the classic American-style options, they do have hard shell tacos too.) Everything was absolutely delicious. The chips and salsa were superb, and the green salsa was my favorite — perfectly spicy! My tacos were fantastic, and my toddler devoured the birria pizza and his grilled chicken taco. My pre-teens ordered the chicken strips, and even the fries were tasty — I’m on a diet, but I still took the leftover fries home! the birria pizza, it was hands down one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. I’m a huge fan of quesabirria tacos and didn’t think anything could top them, but this did. The birria here is easily one of my favorites! The service was awesome — the staff were so friendly and welcoming! I also really appreciated that they gave a little toys , which were a lifesaver for keeping my toddler and teens entertained so we could actually enjoy our meal in peace. The place itself is aesthetically pleasing and extremely clean. I definitely recommend this place!

Very clean, "modern" look. Off the road, easy pull in and parking. William provided great service and helped us select food options. Taco Tuesday, is $3 off any taco option. Chips and salsa come worth it and I would also opt for the $4.50 beans, rice and soft drink. The Pollo and the carne assada were good tacos. Darker salsa was a bit too hot for me, but my mouth can't take hot stuff. Anyway it was a good stop on our way through Pontiac. A lot of opertunity here.

I actually want to gatekeep awareness of this restaurant, but that wouldn’t be fair to y’all. The mango mocktail was refreshing and so delicious. The quesadilla wasn’t at all soggy and had a perfect meat-to-cheese ratio. My boyfriend and I have eaten A LOT of fries in our 30 years, but Ghost Modern Mexican’s seasoned fries are in the running for the best fries that we’ve ever had : crisped to perfection and seasoned from end-to-end. EASY 5 / 5.

I had an awesome experience at Ghost Modern Mexican in Pontiac! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Sally—such a great first impression. The vibe was inviting, and the service continued to impress throughout our visit. We started with chips and salsa, and I really appreciated that they brought both mild and hot options. The chips were perfectly crispy, and the hot salsa had just the right amount of kick—absolutely delicious. I had a tough time choosing what to order because everything looked so good. I ended up going with the street tacos and tried one al pastor, one grilled shrimp, and one shredded chicken. The shrimp taco was especially flavorful, and the al pastor was packed with taste. My buddy got the dry rub wings (I tried one—amazing!) and also ordered street tacos, which he loved. They’ve only been open a couple weeks, but I’m really rooting for them. The food was top-tier, and even though they don’t have margaritas yet, their mocktails are a fun and tasty alternative. Definitely a new favorite spot—can’t wait to come back!

We've been patiently waiting for this place to open because the decor from the outside looked really cool. My husband and I just had this is our first meal here and it was fantastic! Sally the waitress was super nice, and we got our food pretty quickly. We tried the fried cauliflower which was absolutely amazing and I'm super excited for my vegetarian friends and family to partake! We also had a couple of different types of tacos, and the jalapeno cornbread. Will definitely have to swing by on Taco Tuesday when they have their $3 off tacos deal and try some shrimp tacos next time! (Side note, their mango mojito mocktail was fantastic)
