Truly a hidden gem. Jose the bartender made some great drinks and was very nice and friendly. Owners were also very nice. Was recommended by some friends, we are from Denver! Had some delicious brunch.

I had an awesome experience at this hidden gem Mexican restaurant in the Lower East Side. It was a pleasant surprise! The nachos were fantastic, and my fish tacos were absolutely delicious. My friends enjoyed their chicken tacos and quesadilla as well. The only downside was that the music inside was a bit loud, making it hard to hear each other. Despite that, I would definitely go again for the amazing food and overall great atmosphere. Can’t wait for my next visit!

Great Mexican spot on the Lower East Side! We booked a table for 12 last minute and they were able to accommodate us which went well. Service was great and the food was really tasty. For New York, the prices were very reasonable and no one went home on an empty stomach. The guacamole was on another level. A must try when you go! Their chicken mole was delicious, and they included plantains in it as well. Whether it’s date night or for a group, La Contenta is a great choice!

Happy hour drinks, nachos, guac, and tacos were delicious, nicely portioned, and reasonably priced. There’s a lot of competition for Mexican food in NYC, but this place does an excellent job. I highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Very good Mexican food. Wanted to give it 5 stars but it fell short. Great guacamole, nachos, tacos (chuck full of delicious beef) and margaritas (watermelon with jalapeño). The shrimp ceviche tasted weird and we sent it back. Great arugula salad, decent salmon entree as well as shrimp entree but I didn’t care for the thick dough it was served on topped with puréed black beans. I asked for a side of rice and beans, but it wasn’t Mexican rice, just long grain white rice with corn kernels and it was cold and had no flavor. And again the black beans were puréed. Not great dessert choices but glad we arrived half an hour before happy hour ended. Loved the authentic Mexican vibe and music and it was nice to dine outdoors surrounded by greenery. Great staff. I would actually go back when I’m in the city.
