El Gato Essex is a local Mexican restaurant that offers a variety of dishes, including the carnitas platter. While some customers have noted disappointment with changes to certain dishes, like the use of shredded pork instead of cubed, the restaurant still serves large portions. The menu is also gluten and dairy-free friendly, with corn tortillas available. The food truck nachos have received praise for their generous serving and taste. However, some diners have found the food at the restaurant less exciting, mentioning issues with the house margarita and the mole sauce for cheese enchiladas. The service is generally good, with complimentary chips and fresh salsa, although some guests feel the salsa could be improved. El Gato Essex is a great spot for events, with a gracious staff that can accommodate large parties. It has been noted as a favorite for girls' night and is kid-friendly, making it a popular choice for families. Parking is conveniently located just a short walk away.
