We came here for the Valentine’s Day fixed price meal. The service was overall good. The restaurant atmosphere could be improved upon. It was a little cold and the room felt too bright. The food was overall mediocre. The rice too dry, the sauces could be tastier and smoother. The tres leche cake was delicious. We came back for the latin music and dancing later that night and that was fun. They cleared out the tables to make the dance floor. There were only a few couples but it was a lot of fun.

Very good Mexican food with a calm atmosphere and good service. The building is vintage with tin ceilings and a classic, but kind of an odd shared entrance necessitating multiple signs to get you on the door instead of hgf adjoining restaurant.
The shredded chicken in the taco was quite uniquely flavored and very pleasant – perhaps quite lime forward? The beef taco meat was a little over-flavored to my taste – my tongue interpreted it as over salted, but perhaps a different spice. I had to ensure I was getting only small bites of the beef to avoid it being unpleasant. Otherwise all wax very good.

First time in. Amy welcomed me immediately and made sure she gave me her attention and helped me pick one of my new favorite margaritas. Florita, a jalapeño infused tequila with a strawberry puree. I had one of their special steak tacos and a chicken burrito. Huge portions that I couldn’t finish. Chicken burrito was amazing, steak taco may have been a mix up as it was more like a beef quesadilla, but still amazing.

Staff was very accommodating to us needing to change tables for child friendly seating. Staff recommended the pozole, which I got and it was perfect for the cold night. I also sampled some chicken quesadilla from the kids menu and I would recommend that too. Food was delicious, staff was friendly and present; not smothering.

Omg sooo good!! We had a wonderful lunch there one day, and the brunch was so frigging amazing! The chorizo burrito and home fries cooked with chorizo were the bomb. Huge selection of juices to go i to your mimosa We will be going back a lot more!

The house salsa tasted fresh with a hint of garlic, and the chips had the perfect level of salt without being greasy at all. The Birria tacos were delicious! They paired nicely with the El Gato Suave cerveza. Our server was super attentive, and the food came out fast.

Food was edible but it could definitely be better. I guess Vermonters are used to it being meh…
Service was crazy, I asked the server for water and she questioned if I already had it at the table. Girl , no that’s why I’m asking. She just seemed too unconcerned the whole time we was there. They never cleared the table as we finished items. Just left empty cups and unused menus plates fill up the table.
Food came out quickly so that was excellent but the food was not remarkable. Drinks were ok.
I would come back

El Gato’s margaritas are some of the best margaritas in the Burlington area. Under new management El Gato is bringing great options, like this birria ramen, to VT. Always fresh ingredients and great flavors!
