Green Ghost Tacos

I am not quite sure how this place has gotten so many 5 star reviews, the food was pretty bad. I live in Texas, we have lots of taco places and I was interested in trying a place around here to see what it was like. I was very disappointed. The style is the same, but the quality is poor. The chips and queso was terrible, it was basically milky cheese, almost soup like with no flavor. I ordered three carne asada tacos and they were not good either, the quality of the meat was pretty bad, even for skirt or flank steak. These also lacked flavor and their 4 salsa options didn’t help. Definitely won’t go back. The waiting staff was very nice and attentive.

NOT MEXICAN — the owners have come up with a super approach to using fresh ingredients and novel recipes to bring authentic food to us.
it is so interesting, i hesitate to even call it «mexican» lest some people expect same old, same old tex-​mex — which green ghost is WAY BEYOND!

I was in Jackson for business and I Unilocaled places near my hotel. I chose Green Ghost for the good reviews and it certainly lived up to them. Low key location but exceptional food. I suggest the chorizo and fish tacos. Roasted corn is great as well.

Great little place! We stopped by on our way south and the food was amazing! Salsa was authentic, guacamole was fresh, and burrito portions are huge! Will definitely be back!

Delicious tacos. Also enjoyed the guacamole dip. These people serve the real deal. And they do it quickly.

Excellent food and service. Really good in house salsas, a few things are a little overpriced but overall a great place when you’re craving some authentic tacos!

The food is fantastic! Fresh. Fresh. We were blown away. Even my wife loves it!
Don’t let the small appearance scare you away. Great ingredients. The pork taco was my favorite. Chicken was awesome. The guacamole is made to order.
This small place was a nice surprise.

I love this place! Healthy home cooking and different specials all the time. Try the sauces! Yum!

Muy bueno! So glad I took Unilocal advice on this one! The restaurant is small and the staff is very attentive and helpful. Honestly, I couldn’t find fault.
They had 4 salsas to choose from. I can’t remember the exact types but basically: Mild (salsa verde), Medium (chipotle), Hot (red something or another), and Very Hot (habanero). My sister in law described the «Very Hot» as «white girl hot». She’s a white girl, by the way, so I am going to assume it was okay for her to say that. It was spicy but not really all that hot.
We started with the guacamole which is made fresh when ordered. It was the best I can remember having, ever.
I had the steak burrito with guacamole. It was ridiculously large. It was fantastic. Loaded with steak, beans, pico (or just veggies?), and rice (I don’t like rice on burritos but I know what I’m getting when I order one).
My co-​eaters had the Tortas. One chicken, one pork, and one marinated pork. Get the marinated pork. It was hands down the star of the meal.
The deserts were «meh». But if we are being honest, Mexican deserts tend to be a little bland.
@$ 60 for 5 folks and tons of food. Very affordable.
Note: As stated earlier me and my group have a very high threshold when it comes to «hot» foods. Keep that in mind if you trust this post to guide you.
Second note: Holy bonfire in my mouth. Careful with the carrot garnish. They must be hand picked in the hottest part of hell.
+++They give a %10 military discount! Gracias!!!+++

I’m visiting Mississippi for work and I decided to give this place a try! It’s delicious! I travel the southeast for work and eat out a lot, so I can definitely say this place is awesome! The horchata is perfectly made and the queso dip is full of flavor! Yummmm

This place continues to get free top notch authentic tacos for a reasonable price. Not to mention the made to order guacamole – A-​mazing!
I especially like the fish tacos. In my initial review I expressed them needing more acid. So the next time they came with limes to squeeze on top. Now they’ve stepped it up and there’s a delicious creamy slaw on them. By far my favorite!
The service is still great. It takes time when they’re busy, but they are mostly great about getting your food out as fast as possible with a great attitude. It’s worth the wait!
The space is always clean which is a great and welcoming.
The cherry on top … The owner is incredibly friendly and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure customers have a great experience. If you have an issue, let them know, they’ll fix it. Me personally, I’ve only had an issue one time where they nearly forgot my guacamole order. The owner was apologetic and made up for it.
All in all, this is a great place to eat … still!

Steak burrito was incredible and the fresh guacamole was also great. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to fill Mexican food cravings. Will definitely be back.

Their food was fresh and tasty, including what tasted like hand made tortillas. However, the hand tacos were overpriced and didn’t have enough meat or ingredients in them. The establishment seemed clean and was easy to find.

Fantastic tacos. The flavor layering in the chorizo taco is the best I’ve ever had, anywhere. The veggie taco with the roasted potato is a big hit, as well as the pastor with fresh pineapple in with the pork. And they have beef tongue. Legit for sure. Go today!

Was excited to check out Green Ghost Tacos after a friend had recommended it for good authentic Mexican food.
It’s a bit of a hole in the wall, tucked into a tiny strip mall, but overall it was clean and the décor was welcoming. The service is just okay. We walked in, sat ourselves, and reviewed the menu. Yes, like other reviews say you have to pay for everything. You will not get free chips and salsa or sides included in your main dish. There is no soda fountain, everything is bottled.
We started out with the chips and guacamole, which was on point. The guacamole was fresh and delicious, it was probably my favorite part of the meal. The chips were pretty good too, although a bit greasy.
I ordered a huevos and chorizo burrito. First off, the burrito is massive and filled with food which is great! I ordered it hoping the chorizo would really be the prominent smoky spicy taste in the burrito, but it all kind of mushed together. My husband got three tacos: the chicken, pork, and steak. The pork was by far the most tasty, it had a smoky sweet taste which we believe came from a pineapple sauce/​seasoning.
Overall it was okay, but as other people have mentioned in their reviews, there are better places to get authentic Mexican food in Jackson.

Try this place it’s good. The fish and the pork tacos are awesome. My husband had the asada steak and it was good. Also had the guacamole and wow its fresh. My husband ate it and he doesn’t like guac!
New review. Owner not here. Ordered the special… They are out. Ordered the same tacos as last time. Not the same. And why would you put tartar sauce on a pork taco? Guac not even close to the first time. Not seasoned no flavor. Very upsetting. Super disappointed.

The owner is super friendly and the food is great! I am looking forward to many return trips to try all of their authentic food. I have a Chili Relleno and two tacos (Carne asada and the Camaroon). The shrimp taco was layered with fresh mango and pineapple. It was like a party in my mouth. The Hibiscus tea, made from scratch, was refreshing and not too sweet.
I hope you enjoy Green Ghost Tacos as much as I did.

Short Version: Food just OK. Service was not good. Overpriced.
Long Version: What can I say? It was just OK. I’ve been excited about this place since it opened. I love the name. I don’t know if it is unintentional or intentional, but I see a play on words with «Gringo’s Taco» which I find hilarious. My wife and I have been trying to make it over here for a while. We finally did and it was just OK.
The biggest issue was that one person was working the register, seating people, running the register, and waiting tables. It took forever to place our order, a long time to get our drinks, and FOREVER to pay. There were only 4 tables and one carry-​out customer at the time.
The food was OK, but not fabulous. I believe that it is authentic, but I know of at least one other place locally that does it better.
I ordered the Grilled Chicken Burrito with no tomatoes. I asked for a side of rice. He said it came with rice and beans. That sounded good, so I let it ride. I received a wrapped burrito in a basket with no sides. When I asked about it he said the rice and beans were in the burrito. Clearly we had an issue with the subtleties of language. So, I left hungry.
My wife ordered a shrimp taco, which is the typical small taco seen at what I consider authentic Mexican restaurants. It was beautiful and had a fruit salsa on it. She ordered the Mexican corn on the cob, which came in a bowl, not on the cob. It was the typical Mexican corn with crema. She enjoyed it, but it’s not something I care for.
My burrito was almost $ 8 which is OK if it comes with sides, but it doesn’t. Chips and Salsa would have made the difference, but I believe they are $ 5, so we didn’t get them either.
I doubt I’ll go back. The food is just OK, it is overpriced, and the service was not good.

Really great spot in Ridgeland on County Line. Great service. Cold beer and great guacamole.
Try the Torta and the handmade tacos on house made corn tortillas.
The meat has good flavor and there are lots of options.
This is not your usual garbage mass volume Mississippi garbage Mexican food.

Good tacos! I was curious so tried one each of the pork, chicken and fish. Both the chicken and fish tie for first choice, however I’d get the fish without the mayo, doesn’t need it and weighted it down. The verde sauce was yummy! Looks like they make their own corn tortillas. Very soft and held up well.
Service was quick, friendly and efficient. I’d go back again if in town.
Only one star knocked off because I dislike flour tortillas and for the quesadilla would have liked the choice of corn.
