EL GATO NEGRO
ABOUT US
Welcome to El Gato Negro, New Orleans most authentic Mexican kitchen! Inspired by family recipes from the state of Michoacan, our extensive menu and exotic drinks are carefully prepared with the finest & freshest ingredients available.
This restaurant is dedicated to my father and mother, who immigrated to this great country with nothing but dreams.
They had (3) children: Sandra, who is in law enforcement; Jorge, who works at a local refinery; and myself (Juan), who started as a dishwasher in 1983, at the age of 14, because I wanted a pair of Nikes.
After more than 30 years of restaurant experience, I’m proud to give you…
