Reviews
"The food is fine. You won't likely leave upset, but you won't leave with your mind blown either. Why won't I return? This establishment wants to charge $1 or MORE just to get lettuce and tomato on tacos. You can't nickel and dime your customers and expect to build any loyalty. That just isn't how business works. Grandpa used to say, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. You really want to rethink the way you do business."
"We are from Texas and feel that we can say pretty confidently that we know and love Mexican food. We didn't expect that a local friend would suggest this place when we came and were down in Gretna for work but we did and man are we happy that we took their advice! The chips were fresh and the salsa was delicious. We ordered the queso that was the special and it was phenomenal. I got the stuffed avocado as my meal and ate it all, literally wiped my plate clean with tortillas it was so good...I've never done that before in a restaurant. My husband ordered the burrito and said it was great. For dessert we shared a tres leches and that was the only thing we felt could have been better. Overall the meal was delicious and beautifully plated, the restaurant was clean and had a great atmosphere, and the staff was wonderful and welcoming."
"Great service, great portion and great food. Can't complain, staff was knowledgeable , friendly and attentive. Would recommend to try definitely if you're a local or visitor."
"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 it mexican food. Everything I had was bland. I could taste no garlic, no cumin, no heat, no spice. I saw no jalapeños, or even cilantro. As a matter of fact, I thought I saw cilantro in the pico de gallo. Nope, turns out Its just bland old parsley. I ate 1/2 of the entree. Couldn't go any further. If you like bland food in a nice setting, this could be for you."
