The whole experience was kind of mediocre. The quesofundido was good, but that's about it. This is probably the smallest quesadilla I've ever had, including when I've ordered it as an appetizer. The beans weren't flavorful and the rice was dry. The margaritas left something to be desired, mainly tequila. The service was fine as our server was pretty attentive. For a Saturday evening, it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be. Not sure that I'll be back.

The lakeview location of El Gato Negro is probably the nicest one out of all their several locations. They have some pretty upscale Mexican food options and you can spend quite a bit of money here while at the same time they also have some more standard Mexican fare that is more value priced but still quite nice. The food here is a bit different than most of the other Mexican style restaurants in the area and overall this is probably one of the top quality Mexican joints in the area. The service here tends to be really good while I've found the service at their Gretna location to often be less adequate. The ambiance here is really unique and they have a very interesting patio that also has its own separate bar area. Overall this a pretty cool spot if you find yourself in the mood for some above average Mexican food.

My son insisted on going to eat here. We love the food! Everything is served hot and fresh. The service is always on point. The manager checked on us at our table, which I appreciate. We truly enjoyed our taco dishes. The pork and brisket tacos are so flavorful and tasty.

They have the best lunch special and great drinks. This neighborhood restaurant is a perfect spot for lunch with a flare. Service is good and food is very delicious. Enjoyed the brisket fajitas and filet tacos are so yummy. The tamales are one of my favs. There is also an outdoor patio with a bar so nice when the weather is beautiful.

I'm amazed that some people are saying the food isn't good... the food was delicious! I had the surf and turf tacos and my friend had the enchiladas. It was hard to decide what to get because the menu looked amazing and they had options on there I hadn't seen at other restaurants. The drink menu is extensive! The chips and salsa are addictively good. I think they have my favorite restaurant salsa ever! (Contrary to what some have said, they do tell you only the first round is free... it says it on the menu!) Clearly everything is handmade. Even my corn tortillas were obviously freshly made. My 2 tacos were overloaded in classic street taco fashion and I had to eat pieces out of it before I could even pick them up lol. The shrimp are huuuge. I appreciated the unusual toppings: grilled zucchini and mushrooms! I tried my friend's enchiladas and they were to die for. Weekday lunch service was prompt and nice, and it honestly didn't end up costing me as much as I thought it would. Can't wait to come back!

First time visiting this place as residents of the neighborhood. The restaurant is clean and efficient. All of the staff was industrious and helping each other. The ambiance was pleasant without being over the top. At first glance, I thought the prices were a bit high until I saw the portions. I was WILDLY Impressed with my mega burrito. It certainly lived up to its name. My girlfriend's enchiladas looked and smelled amazing as well!
