El Gato Negro - Lakeview

You need to try their Watermelon Margaritas! 😍 And they have one one the prettiest courtyard in town! Perfect for a evening drink! Also don’t forget to try their in-house made tortillas for their tacos, especially when combined with with their skirt steak tacos 🌮

Very overpriced Mexican food. My friend paid $22 for her steak burrito and my single chicken taco was $5. The food was fine but there’s so many fees & policies that make it not worth it to come here (No split checks & card use fee plus upcharges for any toppings on the tacos… basically just comes with meat and a tortilla unless you pay extra). Margaritas tasted fine, but were not very strong. Highlight was the queso fundido!

If you're in the area I'll have family and friends visiting from out of town or out of state Don't miss out on this beautiful gem of a restaurant that is family owned and professionally ran. The food is incredible, the drinks are tasty and strong and the outside bar patio side can be very relaxing as well. Also, give their lamb chops a try. You will not be disappointed!

We had a really nice meal at the restaurant. Margaritas were strong and nice. Food was amazing especially the tacos. Ceviche was to die for. We definitely recommend if you are in the area.

It was tough because the Tejano Burrito was so good, but I managed to save room for dessert! 😋

Everything from the service to the food to the outside courtyard was amazing. The stuffed avocado appetizer topped any food I’ve ever had at a Mexican restaurant all over the country. The corn tortilla was handmade perfection. Even the chips and salsa stand out as exceptional. The mole covered burrito definitely hit that mole spot. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu. The courtyard was quiet and comfortable. No idea a busy neighborhood was just over the wall. The waiter was busy but seemed to show up exactly when we needed her. She was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.

12/12/2020 - Years later we find ourselves returning with friends to remodeled dinningroom for another go. Ordered the grill plate, guacamole, ceviche, and some other items. Friendly service, timely presentation, and great quality food made a definite impression. Everything was great and we were able to enjoy our time with friends. Oh... even offered me a cold glass this time... imagine that! Previously... Decided to stop in for lunch and grab a fajita plate. I almost asked for a new table since the hostess sat us directly at the kitchen window and doors. The menu was interesting but way overpriced. The combo fajitas jump from $25 to $35, so you figure it's significantly more food and while we didn't need more to fill us for lunch... it was a dinner entree. My wife's mojito was excellent but my beer came with a giant lime and no glass. Your either a $30/plate establishment or you're NOT. The entire time they were working on inventory at the table behind us, employees ordered pizza at our table on a cell phone, I even know who's working what section for the next full week. Dishes clanking, employees yelling for each other and scraping of plates being bussed from tables, were the highlights of our meal. After finding a different waiter... we were able to get some extra napkins and water. Salsa and chips are one serving only. Food was good and we actually had nothing leftover... a first for us! Lol The service and atmosphere was horrific and we will never be back.

I agree with some of the previous reviews regarding the price, the food does not warrant the price at all. Didn't see anything on the menu I was willing to pay the price for. Ended up getting ONE taco for $5. Pulled pork only topping offered was onion which I declined, .50 cent to add lettuce which onr wpuld think is the basic taco topping along with cheese. The pork had no flavor although it wasn't dry and was tender. Husband got ground Chuck, and it was dry and not seasond well either, he got the onion and he did get a good amount on the taco. Onion didn't help and he said he would've liked for it to be sautéed more. Ordered margaritas, they were okay. We sat outside and it was nice, got seated quickly for a Saturday evening, waitress was nice.
