Smelled good and looked even better. Great staff, wish they had more good choices. But everything was over the top good.
I've heard about El Gato for years... gotta try it, gotta try it. So, I tried it. Went to the one in Gretna. Very nice... interior, colorful, clean. Got the salsa and chips. Salsa... really sweet tomatoes and onion. No cumin, garlic, no jalapeños, no FLAVOR. Chips, very salty. I ordered the Enchilada trío, with beans and rice. I cant go any further. Its food. Its fresh.Its mexican STYLE food. Its not mexican flavor. I guess in some áreas if you throw anything on or in a tortilla they call itmexican food. Everything I had was bland. I could taste no garlic, no cumin, no heat, no spice. I saw no jalapeños, or evencilantro. As a matter of fact, I thought I saw cilantro in the pico de gallo. Nope, turns out Its just bland old parsley. I ate1/2 of the entree. Couldn't go any further. If you like bland food in a nice setting, this could be for you. Read more
One of the most consistent restaurants in Gretna. Isaac and Nu run a tight ship over there. My wife and I are always in for a... great, fresh meal with great service too. We love it. Read more
Passed by around 3:30p.m. on Cinco de Mayo. Saw there were tables open. Went around the block and parked. Went in. Got a table... right away. The place was clean and well lit. Isaac was my server and he was very efficient. I had the table side guacamole andthe enchilada trio for my late lunch. Everything was sooooo good and fresh. My 1st time at this location. Not the last tho. Read more

Most expensive Mexican and smallest portions I ever seen! The quesadilla was on a tiny tortia and almost nothing on it. Not... worth your time here. El paso quesadillas and queso way better and a lot bigger and cheaper. Margaritas are better there too. Read more
