   So good! Great food and such a sweet server! Answered any questions on the menu and was a good vibe on the patio.

   We had a great experience at Ghost Donkey! Getting in was a bit awkward since the entrance is located in Champaign Lanes, but once inside, we were warmly welcomed by a host who gave us a quick rundown of the place and encouraged us to sit wherever we liked. We did book a reservation on OpenTable, but they did not ask for it. We chose the covered, heated patio, which was pleasant, but the heaters became a bit too warm after a while. Combined with the hot salsa and our drinks, it made for a warm evening. It would have been nice if our server had checked in on the temperature, but otherwise was super relatable and pleasant and did what she could to make our evening amazing! We arrived around 7 o’clock, and the place was not very busy—maybe seven other patrons. Friends had warned us that the nightlife picks up later, which we noticed when security arrived around 8 o’clock. The food and drinks came out quickly, and everything we tried was delicious. The drinks were phenomenal, and the atmosphere was a solid 10 out of 10—great vibes and music. However, the water took longer to arrive, which was odd. One downside was the salsa; it was too spicy for us to enjoy, especially considering we paid $6 for chips and salsa (which is usually complimentary at Mexican restaurants). We mentioned this to our server, but unfortunately, no resolution was offered. We also requested a side of cheese sauce, which is listed with the nachos, but they couldn’t accommodate that either. We had the chicken quesadilla and Carne Asada tacos, both of which we recommend. The Bee Pollen drink (I forget the name) and mushroom margarita were also fantastic! However, I wouldn’t recommend ordering chips and salsa since everything comes with a side of red and green salsa anyway. The menu is somewhat limited, but the prices felt reasonable. Overall, despite a few minor issues, we really enjoyed our visit and would recommend Ghost Donkey!

   Overall experience was good - food is great, but when we first arrived we were sat at a couch and felt like we were too tall for the table to be able to eat so we asked to move up to the bar. The waitress seemed annoyed by this request. After moving to the bar it took us about five minutes before we were greeted by the bartender to order (at the time she was the only one behind the bar). Around 5:30 additional bartenders arrived and service was better. Be careful as they may upsell you with top shelf tequila before you truly acknowledge what is going on. Casa Azul is $34 an ounce here. Overall I would go back but be more mindful of my tequila selection before feeling forced into an order. The bartenders were friendly!

   Food was very good, but drinks could use a lot of work. Atmosphere was cute, but overwhelming. Our waitress was great! She was helpful with our questions and overall very friendly. Would not go again but did love their neighbor: Cham Pang Lanes.

   Overall, the experience was fun and energetic. The food and drinks were really good, especially the guac. Although, the bouncer was very rude and off-putting when first entering. Being it was my first time there, I told the hostess I was here for Ghost Donkey, then he stepped in front of me and said “Well I am here for your ID.” It was just awkward and he asked me a bunch of weird questions while examining it. I get that’s his job, but hospitality wise…not really a good first impression. Also our waitress wasn’t very accommodating or nice. But besides that, the environment, decoration and ambiance was cool. A little hard to hear friends bc music was loud, but not terrible.
