We had our holiday party here and it was absolutely amazing!! Starting with the frozen margaritas, through the chips, salsa, queso and table side fresh guacamole and onto the tacos, quesadillas and burritos the food was delicious and authentic.
Of course a great dining experience includes both food and service and just like the food the service was top notch. The staff truly made it a wonderful experience.
Before we left we were already planning a return visit!

We had excellent service and the food was delicious! I had the stuffed avocado from the appetizer section as my meal. It was a huge portion, served with tortillas and was super yummy. My husband got the meat platter. Everything was perfectly cooked and the taste of each meat option was absolutely delicious!
Where to start….5/5. Fantastic food, Really great service staff, excellent cocktails and table side guacamole. What more could one want? Well, check out my photo below. They have a Stuffed Haas Avacado on their appetizer menu that is TO-DIE-FOR delicious. I wanted to lick the plate every time I’ve had it. I come from the Baton Rouge area just to eat at El Gato Negro.
