Great for happy hour

A quaint Taco and Tequila bar, just a mile from CLE Hopkins Airport, showcasing handmade margaritas, cocktails & delicious dishes. Our speakeasy vibe features an abundant amount of red lighting & cool décor, centered by a pink florescent bar that highlights hard-to-find tequilas. You'll definitely want to snap a pic in front of our Muy Caliente grass wall to share on your social! Fave dishes include Tina's Tostones, Queso Blanco w/ chorizo, Macho Nachos, Korean & Floridan tacos, & Fried Ice Cream. Our menu is small, but mighty when it comes to quality and flavor! If you love spice you'll want to try our signature Ghost Whisperer tacos~marinated chicken, Ghost Pepper dust, pineapple salsa & queso fresco. We also have over 11 tasty gluten friendly options!

Please Note: We've built our business over the last year from our walk-in guests. For this reason, not all tables are available to reserve. If we are booked, feel free to email us at info@ghostpeppercle.com for further availability.

The burritos are generously filled and tasty. The bowls were a little light on the steak, but tasted great. The guacamole and salsa appetizer were underwhelming. They were both lacking flavor and were bland, but the chips were great. The tajin fries are a must have!!

I found this restaurant through Open Table and for the value things were pretty good, Appetizers: street corn dip - fantastic and would order again Brussels sprouts- I’d order again but with regular honey NOT the hot honey ( it was way too spicy for me) Dinner: Husband ordered the macho burrito and loved it, definitely had to take it home. I ordered the Korean taco bowl and it was decent but needed more flavor and more meat. I had the watermelon mint mock tail but the pulp was too much for me. Overall we will be back, but will try other items but the street corn is a must!

Great atmosphere. Great server. Fantastic different flavors of margarita flights! Great appetizers and I love Wednesdays where you can try different tacos for just four bucks! You get a chance to try whatever you want.

As always amazing food and service!! Classic salsa seemed fermented to me making my tongue feel tingly. Server brought out some pineapple salsa as an alternative. Every meal was delicious, hot and fresh. Server was attentive and friendly

We love going to Ghost Pepper. It is a place we try to visit at least once a month. Their food is so good, I don’t need any hot sauce compared to other taquerias we have visited. The barbacoa tacos are the $#!+!!!

This place is amazing- the owner of the restaurant came out and did a “price is right” skit with us because he knew we were going to the show after dinner! It was wonderful all around, service, entertainment and of course the food and drinks! Our favorite place always!

I was surprised they brought one ice cream for dessert with three spoons. They charged $1.85 for each extra spoon. My husband had to get up from table to get refill on drink. He could not get servers attention. However the food and margaritas were very good
