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 Nike.

After more than 30 years of restaurant experience, I’m proud to give you...EL GATO NEGRO. --- Juan
