Fantastic food, excellent service! The fajitas were the best I can remember eating. My son said his chicken tacos were a 10/10. We also ordered tuna ceviche which was made fresh right at our table. Our server Brayan suggested we add shrimp on top of our already decadent fajitas and the shrimp were so sweet and fresh and delicious. The steak and chicken were cooked perfectly, and tasted smoky. The service was world class. Our glasses were never empty and the salsa and chips were replenished as if by magic. We are all fat and happy now. Thanks, Brayan!

This place was recommended by a few different ppl that I work with. My shift decided to come after work and I am so glad that we did.
The Margaritas were amazing, I had the Watermelon and Strawberry Dream. The Guacomole was soo good and they make it right in front of u. The rice and beans are authentic. I got the enchilada tri plate and a fish and shrimp burrito to go.
I will def come back.

El Gato Negro in Lakeview is always a great choice! The margaritas are delicious, and the food never disappoints. Started with the stuffed poblano pepper, and had brisket tacos and black angus ground chuck tacos—just a light dinner, but we enjoyed every bite. I’ve been here a few times, and the quality is consistently excellent. Highly recommend!

You need to try their Watermelon Margaritas! And they have one one the prettiest courtyard in town! Perfect for a evening drink! Also don’t forget to try their in-house made tortillas for their tacos, especially when combined with with their skirt steak tacos

I was honestly shocked at how fresh, perfectly cooked and tasty every dish was. I’m telling all my friends, I’ll be back and I consider this the best TexMex or maybe LaMex?, I’ve ever had (Lakeview location, I’ve not yet been to Gretna or French Market).
I ordered the table side guac and the Stuffed Poblano with chicken added on. Mmmmmm, the sauce! So good!
I ate too fast to take pictures.

First time visiting this place even though I’ve heard of it before. I just want to say that it feels almost like you’re in Mexico! The food here was amazing and the drinks are awesome too! Highly recommend the pineapple Cilantro Margarita! For the dish I got the Mixed grill which consists of Perfectly seasoned Lamb Chops, Grilled chicken, large Shrimp, and Skirt steak! I read that the owner is Juan, and I just want to say thank you Juan for bringing the Michoacán Flavors to New Orleans! Will be visiting again! Que viva La raza! ! (From Honduran)!

We had a really nice meal at the restaurant. Margaritas were strong and nice. Food was amazing especially the tacos. Ceviche was to die for. We definitely recommend if you are in the area.

tacos are overpriced and mid. plus they only come with grilled onions and you are upcharged for literally every other individual topping. additionally, i was flat out told “no mocktails” when i attempted to order a virgin mojito.

Everything from the service to the food to the outside courtyard was amazing. The stuffed avocado appetizer topped any food I’ve ever had at a Mexican restaurant all over the country. The corn tortilla was handmade perfection. Even the chips and salsa stand out as exceptional. The mole covered burrito definitely hit that mole spot. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu. The courtyard was quiet and comfortable. No idea a busy neighborhood was just over the wall. The waiter was busy but seemed to show up exactly when we needed her. She was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.
