Came here to celebrate a bday dinner with 4 people total on a Friday evening. Service was super slow, we finally got our orders taken and then eventually our food came out. There was one meal missing and no explanation for why. Everyone waited to start eating until the last person to receive their meal for 20m+. Finally we got a hold of the waiter (previous waiter left while we were there) and they said they are making the food (chicken enchiladas) now. Seems like they totally forgot when though it was clear we were missing one of our dishes. Finally received the dish after 45m. They didn’t comp the meal. The shrimp enchiladas were given to the person that we called out had a shrimp allergy. They did bring out a free bday dessert which while we appreciated was tasteless and stale.

La Contenta is really amazing! Great food, fabulous drinks, a small quiet restaurant, and Alejandro makes everyone feel welcome and happy! Everyone - try the Nachos with chorizo. Best in NYC! Can't wait to try their sister restaurant Vallarta Tropical!

I loved La Contenta. The inside was a bit smaller than I was expecting, but the bar was lively, and the music was good. If you come in on a night, expecting a quiet intimate experience, just know that the music can get loud.
I end up just getting the tacos here. I tried the fish and the Carnita. This is one of the best fish tacos I’ve ever had and the way they dressed up the supporting cast was the chefs kiss. It had a refreshing creamy pop of favor withevery bite. The Carnita had the Umami taste I was expecting. wow they also had a nice green sauce that was mild and blended well.

Stopped in for some margaritas, nachos and fundido dip. Nachos were the best I've had in a very long time. It was not a pile, but rather a perfectly laid out selection of nachos each with the right mix of ingredients.

This is one of the friendliest restaurants I have been to in a while. Easygoing and very pleasant service. We were seated near a very large and quite loud birthday gathering in a small dining room so some of our party couldn't hear conversation at our table. Otherwise food was good and we lingered for a while without being hustled out the door which was nice.
One of the best Restaurants in NY 100% recommended, the food and drinks are delicious and the service is excellent, a very pleasant atmosphere, come and you will not regret it.

This was our go-to spot for most special occasions because the food was consistently good, and the ingredients were top-tier. The enchiladas were great. All of that changed at some point in the last 4 years & they stopped caring. Not only have they raised prices, but the quality of the food has dipped significantly, especially the cheese they use. They don't even give you complimentary tortilla chips anymore. There is literally nothing that distinguishes them from the 1000 other Mexican places to eat in NYC. I'm not sure if it's new owners, but this is NOT the place it once was. After several years of loyal patronage, we won't be back. I suspect that they won't survive much longer based on my last couple of experiences there. Very disappointing.
