Share your opinion about El Gato Negro - French Market
Everyone was fantastic, food was great and margaritas were delicious
Lots of gluten free options (I’m celiac) and love the table side guac with Serrano salsa and cheese enchiladas
This place is a little hidden because of the market barriers they have put up but it was SOOOO good. The beans were so tasty and different than what we’re used to. Chips and salsa were great. Shrimp quesadillas were good! And service was great too. We unfortunately ran into a lot of rude people working in the bourbon st/canal area but this was the BEST service we got!
