Review El Gato Negro - New Orleans

Surreal Spice
It was ok, not great. The atmosphere is GREAT. the food was VERY overpriced. I had 1 margarita and a order of enchiladas. My bill was 38 bucks. The enchiladas weren't that great and had way too much cheese. I did like their tequila selection. They offer a LARGE variety of tequila. They also close at 3pm

Loved it, the food was great, service was too. Atmosphere was nice. We would of went back if we had more time to visit New Orleans.

The real high note here is the extremely large tequila selection and vibrant margaritas. The food is b- and service is backed up due to small number of servers on the floor. Overall good place.

We had a tasty dinner of a chicken burrito with chorizo salsa, sour cream and guacamole. My husband had 3 enchiladas and said it was fresh and home made, a tad plain for Mr Hot Sauce. Friendly fast service. Pretty and clean atmosphere.

Had the special brisket burrito. It was very tasty and my wife had the mole pork which she loved.

Although the food was good portion sizes and prices were a bit ridiculous $30 for this plate of steak, chicken and shrimp. Sad thought Mexican was supposed to be affordable

This place has the freshest and the most crisp with amazing flavors. Truly Mexican and can't be compared to. If your ever in town you HAVE to try this place.

The mojitos were on point. The food was really good...and our waiter Sammy was by far the best waiter I have had in a long time....What a doll!.....Thumbs up!

The food was good, I'll give it that but no where on the menu did it imply the taco prices were for a single taco. I was pretty hungry and ordered fish tacos and was very surprised to be served a single taco, and have to pay extra for lettuce and cheese (this wouldn't have bothered me if I got 3 tacos to an order). I wouldn't return and wish I chose the other Mexican place in town instead.

Mexican food in New Orleans? A little hard to find, but just a quick walk away from the convention center. I was greeted with sporting events being played on the TV's, then chips and salsa came out quickly. I ordered the chicken breast with mole poblano (came with Spanish rice and refried beans), which may or may not be on the menu anymore as a single dish.The order took about 20 minutes. The chicken was tender and moist, but the mole a little less spicy than I had believed it was going to be and slightly different than how my grandma used to make it. For $15.75, I left satisfied and was a fan from the start after seeing the cat logo on the sign

One of the best margaritas I've had. The guacamole made fresh table side is very good as well as the grill plate that we had. Of all the upsides this place has, I wish they didn't charge for refills of salsa and chips. Albeit a nominal fee, this is the first Mexican place I've been at that charged for such.

We loved this restaurant! The steak tacos were wonderfully seasoned and the homemade corn tortillas were delicious. The staff was very warm and attentive. Very authentic with a wonderful backstory about the history of the restaurant. Would definitely recommend.

We stopped in for a quick app and drink. We were completely blown away. They knew so much about the tequila flavors, it was great. Everyone was so friendly and service was on point. Julie was our bartender and she made our stop nice.

Not pleased with service or the amount/quality of food for the price!!! Servers need to realize we can see them when they are complaining about their customers. They weren’t busy yet it still took them 20 minutes to ask for our drinks which then took another 10 to get our water and chips. Never got my water Togo. We own a Mexican restaurant. Very disappointed!!
Michele Finn
Great service and the best Mexican food in NOLA. Guacamole-spectacular! HUGE, right out of the Gulf of Mexico shrimp grilled to perfection for the fajitas. Highly recommend!

Moved to New Orleans three years ago. I don't know a thing about Cajun food...but when it comes to Mexican cuisine, I'm practically a connoisseur. El Gato Negro is the finest in the city!!!

Horrible service, horrible manager. This was literally the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. The hostess didn't put our group on the list, our drinks came out over a span of 45 minutes, one of our group members didn't even get her food and the server continually made excuses as to why it was never cooked. When we asked to speak to the manager she made excuses for every negative aspect of our experience. They wouldn't even comp our bottled water when the city was under a boiled water advisory. Super disappointed!
Brenda Meeks
The blackberry margaritas were fantastic! And the shrimp enchiladas were very good too! The staff was friendly and attentive to our large party and everyone had a great lunch.
Aimee Wooten
This was our first time in New Orleans and had no clue where to go, saw this placed tried it out and absolutely LOVED it! The food was delicious, the margaritas were amazing and the service was spectacular! I will definitely come again if I'm ever back! Until then, I shall dream of the strawberry pineapple margaritas! Thank you for a fabulous meal!
