The margaritas were so good! The food was cooked perfectly as well! Everything is cooked fresh when you order it. The chips and salsa were great to munch on while we waited! Our server was very knowledgeable. After our meal we also bought a T-shirt and I love that they had them available. My only complaint is they do have a limited menu. I wish they had enchiladas but they said they are working on expanding their menu.
HANDS DOWN THE BEST STEAK TACOS IVE EVER HAD. 15 plus years in Texas every authentic Mexican restaurant you can imagine and EL GATO NEGRO has the BEST Mexican food you could imagine. Do yourself a favor and stop by. SERIOUSLY. The handmade tortilla chips, customer service, food marinated excellently. 10/10 would recommend! Come here like NOW!
Very nice to be in that part of the quarter. It was open late. The food was decent. The service was very friendly. Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian options. There could have been more. The rice had chicken stock. So was not vegetarian. Kid-friendliness: Is pleasant enough and friendly enough to be kid friendly though there is a lot of alcohol available and most people drink since it is a Mexican restaurant.
Good Mexican food. Friendly service.
Best steak tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Seriously. The steak was perfectly cooked. Just tasting the steak by itself I could taste the homemade seasoning and flavor that made my day. The owner is very nice and the service was great.
Okay goto new Orleans and get Mexican?? If it's here absolutely the best Mexican restaurant maybe in the US. Drinks food service all the best.
What can I say, but excellent. Hands down one of my favorite stops for Mexican food. Great place for drinks too. As of now I believe they are closed Monday thru Wednesdays. Open at noon starting Thursdays.
First stop for dinner after a flight in, this spot is traditional for some of our family, my first time. Food was delicious and the margaritas were amazing. I got the Devil's Blood. Chips and salsa were over top top good. We will visit again next trip!
