El Gato Negro - Lakeview is a highly recommended Mexican spot in Nola, praised for its amazing food and excellent service. The restaurant's warm atmosphere is complemented by its attentive staff, including friendly waitresses and a manager/owner who ensures every table is happy with their experience. The bartender is a particular highlight, known for her excellent service and accent. Popular dishes include the Grilled chicken and the Tuesday special of 3 steak tacos, which can be ordered with a corn shell for a flavor explosion. The restaurant also offers outside seating with a relaxing patio area, perfect for enjoying drinks like watermelon margaritas or their top-shelf margaritas such as pineapple cilantro and orange Cadillac Margarita. Parking is available at the rear entrance. The food consistently delivers an authentic taste that makes many feel at home, especially with favorites like brisket tacos, tamales, and lamb chops. Even on busy nights, the staff goes above and beyond to accommodate guests, making El Gato Negro a great addition to any dining rotation. Despite the prices, the quality of the food and drinks make it well worth visiting.
