Very good food and service. A neighborhood staple. Also, in a world that takeout costs airfair to a different state I found the prices to be very reasonable.
small plates. bad service ... small tables , charged for a small plate of chips and small dish of salsa
Amazing place to be gluten-free!! So many options, menu is clearly labeled, and the staff is very understanding and accommodating. Awesome enchiladas and cocktails.
Loud atmosphere due to a private party and weather restricted seating to inside. Still, staff was very attentive and fast.
Everything we ate was yummy. Guac, enchiladas, steak, chicken. The waiter was lovely, helpful, & patient although we did ask him 2x for more chips and ask another table attendant once (3x total). Lowd and fun inside, relaxed dining outside.
Attentive service and yummy food. Loved the red sangria and the chicken torta!
I’ve been coming here so far 2-3 Fridays every week its PACKED but the hostess always lets us know that we unfortunately do have a time limit (which is understandable) which is 1 hour and 30 minutes. The food comes out pretty quick I’ll say 10-15 minutes me and my friends started off with a chips and guacamole which is amazing, we each ordered an order of tacos de birria and carnitas. They were both so delicious and weren’t dry AT ALL. Then we decided to get main course which I got mole poblano which was pretty fulling. We had been passed our time limit when the hostess came up to us and told us that the next reservation was up in 15 minutes she gave us options we could sit outside or go ahead to the bar it was a bit chilly so we sat at the bar. Overall our experience was such a nice dinner night and amazing food and drinks were fenomenal!! Thanks to the hostess Ashlyn for always making us feel welcome and proving more options seatings for us!
Go time folks!
So I’m just rolling into town after a long day of flights and airport bars. Spirits are high first time seeing the girlfriend in a while, things are going well a lovely cocktail at the hotel bar but holy shit it’s 11pm and we gotta get some food. Who could be open at a time like this!?!
La contenta Oesta is open
La contenta Oesta is ready to serve
Roll in there and the bartender teleports from behind the bar to the front to greet us and then beats us back to the bar. The drinks start flowing and the guac is out !! They don’t call my guy the margarita king for nothing. A quesadilla finds its way to the table along with a set of smiles that I was thrilled to see. All smiles a late night bite and boom were back to the hotel wondering where the night went. Very solid spot
Great atmosphere , lovely service. We split the Shrimp Enchiladas. I foolishly assumed rice and would be served with it. I was wrong. It was entirely too spicy for me. Not what I'm accustomed to when ordering enchiladas. I should have ordered the Taco s.
Fantastic atmosphere and food was amazing. Loved their martini de maize cocktail. Never had anything like it before!!

This was my first visit, and overall I really enjoyed it. The food (mole enchiladas and tres leches bread pudding) and cappuccino were delicious, but my dessert took a long time to get to me and the waiter didn't inform me of the delay until I had to ask after already waiting maybe 20 minutes (he was very nice and may have forgotten because it was extremely busy). Luckily, I was seated outdoors because the inside was PACKED and very, very loud.
This was the perfect spot for a date night with my girlfriend. The atmosphere was calm and tranquil, and the staff were welcoming and very attentive throughout the evening. We started with the guacamole—definitely a 10/10—then had the Hanger Steak and Salmon, both full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The drinks were on point and complemented the meal really well. Highly recommend this place for a delicious and romantic night out.
The staff is super nice. Went with our 3 kids and could definitely say it’s kid friendly which is always a plus. Drinks are really good and food is delicious.
Beautiful place
Love the food
Server is so nice and helpful
The first time I was in this establishment. We ordered several different dishes to try. Everything is delicious. For the first time I tried Mexican white wine - I liked it. Original desserts - took three different.
