Loved having late night cocktails with my friends here. Nice vibe for conversations, friendly staff members, and good drinks.

This place has plenty of documented visits. The person overseeing operations was notably pleasant. This restaurant delivers comfort, hygiene, and service beyond the ordinary. Just one word needed: delicious! HONESTLY OUTSTANDING.

We travel every year to NY for my wife's birthday and out of the 3 to 4 days we are there we visit La Contenta 3 to 5 times at least, one when we arrive in between and on our way back to the airport is always our last stop, I have been in the industry for over 40 years and question the reason why we are there so much with so many restaurants available? The mezcal and tequila drinks are the best anywhere in this city, I can only compare them to my own drinks with the freshest ingredients and great mezcal and tequila selections, but there are also other great mezcal and tequila bars which are really good too. The food is great the branzino with the spicy serrano salsa is fantastic but we mostly drink lol and there are also other Mexican restaurants with great food mmmmm so what is it about La Contenta that makes us want to be there so much? I can only think of is that they treat us the way We treat guests in our restaurant, they make us feel special, they remember us every time with a warm and open arms feeling. It is hard to put into words but we love La Contenta east and Brooklyn ( THE WEST LOCATION IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT) My wife told the owners that when she passes she wants some of her ashes put in a corner of La Contenta is that level of hospitality of this wondeful Mexican Institute !!!

10/10 definitely will be going back to enjoy my time at La Contenta. Came with my fiance and we definitely enjoyed our time there. Small but very friendly and comfortable. Would highly recommend the passion fruit ceviche. Music selection was also a hit. Ate every bite with a little dance

Was disappointed with this place. The service was EXTREMELY slow. They also didn’t bring out our chips (we ordered chips and salsa and chips and guac) until after we had our entrees? And it’s OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive. Like the tiny guac bowl was $15. And the entrees (which were nothing special) were like $25-$30.
I liked the ambience of the place and the drinks were good. But the food is mid and incredibly overpriced which is unacceptable in a city with so many better food options.

Delicious Mexican food in the lower east side. I loved my michelada and chille relleno with seafood. It’s a bit of tight space but that adds to the cozy vibes. I would def return and try more of their menu!

If you’ve been to the Lower East side location you know it’s good!
I had shrimp enchiladas and they were amazing! Everything here is good! So good I forgot to take a pic!
This location is on the northern end of Greenpoint so it’s not busy!
Staff here is also very friendly!

Such a surprise. This place is unassuming at first, but the food was great and the bartender was amazing. The drinks are some of the best I have had in 15 years in NYC
