El Gato Negro - French Market offers a wonderful margarita menu with flavors for everyone, like the pineapple cilantro margarita. Their queso is top-notch, and the table-side ceviche is lovely. The owner’s personal touch adds to the authentic experience, as he often brings out dishes like guacamole and shares stories about the restaurant's beginnings. The food is great and arrives quickly, with gluten-free options available. Despite a few order mishaps, the friendly staff, including attentive servers like Savanah and Sophia, quickly resolve issues and provide excellent service. The atmosphere is authentic and lively, making it a fun, small spot in the French Quarter, perfect for good food and great drinks without the crowd. The taco plates with beef and fajitas are highly recommended, and the watermelon Cadillac margaritas are a must-try.
