El Gato Negro - French Market

It's hard to believe as many times as have been to New Orleans that I have never been to this restaurant. The food was really really good. So good that when I started eating I wanted to keep eating. I had to slow down! I had the pulled pork fajitas which were very very good. This included freshly made corn tortillas which were delicious. Portion was extremely generous and I could only finish half of it. Took the rest back to the hotel and had it the following day. The orange lime margarita was very good as well. Very tasty with just enough tequila in it. Very generous portions. Very delicious food. Great service. What more could you ask for? Definitely give them a try!

We were looking for Mexican and a place to get chips and salsa in the French Market, which if you haven’t noticed, is hard to come by. So we stopped here, and let me tell you, no questions asked, EAT HERE! My mom doesn’t like enchiladas, these were her favorite enchiladas she’s ever had. Get the pineapple cilantro margarita, it’ll be a margarita you will be dreaming about. We walked in with about 15 minutes until closing and they invited us in, and better yet, more people came in at closing and they stayed open. The service was awesome, the food was amazing.

What a diamond in the rough! The owner brought out a little setup and made our guacamole dip in front of us while he told us stories of his place and how it started. He was as much of the experience as an authentic Mexican restaurant in the middle of Cajun land. The food was great and came out quickly. If you like Mexican food, this is definitely a stop for you while in New Orleans. We got the taco plates with beef.

Food was so good I didn’t get pictures before we dug in. Ceviche was fresh and made table side. Lots of drink choices. Salsa was more like a tomato sauce but overall a great place to stop if you are tried of fried seafood.
