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.

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!
