  Family oriented good food . Close 6o the river front for a nice evening stroll along the river afterwards in Historic old Gretna.

  This location of El Gato Negro sadly on average just isn't quite as good as the others with the biggest issue being service often seems to be especially lacking. The building the restaurant is located in is nice enough and they seem to have created a pleasant ambiance. I've unfortunately also found the food here to be less good than at their other spots. It does often get VERY crowded in here so that can be at least one excuse for some of the poor service. However, I have been here when it was pretty dead and still experienced poor service so it seems to be a common pattern at this spot for whatever reason that you go for long periods of time without a server. Overall this is still a decent spot to grab some more high end Mexican food that tends to be more pricy than other Mexican joints. Overall if I'm paying the higher prices for the fancier food I expect better service to go along with it.

  Had lunch at El Gato Negro in Gretna and it was a great experience. We started with the Cabo San Lucas ceviche, wow! It was full of flavor. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly, and the grilled zucchini was the perfect complement. A must-stop if you’re in Gretna! Highly recommend.
