Contento

I visited Contento for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it did not disappoint! Ordering single tacos is a great way to try different flavors. I also tried my friend’s unique bone marrow taco which was so delicious. We had the shrimp and avocado appetizer and some top shelf margaritas. I really cannot wait to come back!

Best tacos in Lake Country! Unique flavors, fresh guac, tasty cocktails, and really cool atmosphere. I took my husband here for the first time a few weeks ago and we sat at the bar. We had an awesome chat about tequilas with the bartender (he was knowledgeable and shared information about tequilas we’d never heard of!). I’ve been talking up this place and the tacos and was excited my husband agreed that they really are the best tacos in our area!

Tacos, fresh guacamole, nice cocktails make this a good place to meet a friend, bring a group or go solo. Weather didn't allow patio seating, but sitting at the bar and chatting with the attentative bar staff or a friend is fun. There didn't seem to be any weekend day happy hour specials, but are weekend specials. The restaurant is nicely decorated and maybe even a little understated with a modern, but definitely ethnic feel. The concrete floors seemed to drive sound levels up a little as the restaurant became busier, but not impossible to hold a conversation. The "new" special fish taco was good, but much more average than the others we chose. Those others were all very good and were a la carte which was understood before ordering hence an order of chips n fresh guacamole as an appetizer.

Met a friend at the bar and it was lovely! Great atmosphere, delicious handcrafted cocktails, and tasty chips & guac. The bartenders were very busy but still friendly and attentive.

Up scale mexican restaurant with great drinks, and the staff is attentive! The owner Manolo has a great touch in his restaurant, and I love the food people and vibe!

Since the step you put inside the place, you can feel a relaxing mexican modern vibe. I love the atmosphere and the wall full of Frida. Natsuki was my server and she was genuinely nice and professional. She gave me some recommendations and omg! I'm picky with Guacamole. It is the best guacamole I have ever had in Wisconsin so far. Perfect on salt and the touch of topped it with pomegranate crushed it!! The tacos were good, and the shrimp and the monolo tacos were out of this world. I'll be back! Congrats to the owner for the amazing job he has made on that place 🤟🏼👍🏼

After 2 nights eating at different places, I needed a place where I felt welcomed, and this was the right place. I sat at the bar because it was only me. Bartender and owner were super nice even though they were busy. Before I went there, I read reviews. In general the food is good but don't expect to find on the menu burritos or chimichangas. In my personal opinion, they try to get their own version of Mexican food with a little twitch . There is nothing wrong with their food, I will say just different and don't expect the typical. I will be back for sure to keep trying their different dishes, I like what I had, and I was not disappointed , just different. I loved their decorations on the walls and the men's restroom, kind of an emphasis on art. Chek out! I will say it worth the effort and trying!

We went here 2 weeks after they opened. The food was fantastic. The service was mediocre, at best. It took 15 minutes to even get water. Yikes. The owner is behind the bar slinging cocktails. They're good, but tiny. I mean tiny, especially for the price. I don't need a horse trough, but don't serve my margaritas in a thimble. I really enjoyed the food and was torn between three and four stars. The food won me over. The tacos are amazing. I hope that the service gets better and that the drinks get bigger!

We usually come to Wisconsin twice a year and this is my first time hv a real Mexican flavor tacos. I had Wisconsin taco and chicken taco and strongly recommend Wisconsin taco! Really Yuuuuumny!! Not to mention the sangria with a cinnamon stick BEST ever! I'm gonna make this as my fav spot in town!

Finally got to this place as I've heard so much about it! What a great vibe when you walk in. Outdoor and aesthetically pleasing indoor seating with a really cool vibe and bar. Everything is à la cart as this is definitely an elevated experience. That reminds me of a coastal feel with delicious seafood selections. I opted for the appetizer of stuffed peppers which were perfectly cooked and stuffed. Mexican corn was one of the best I've ever had in the state. The mahi-mahi and shrimp were plenty full stuffed and flavorful. The salmon taco fell a little short as it was cold.. service was super helpful and friendly, and I would definitely be back!

Food is fresh and not the usual Mexican fare. Service excellent. Best tequila selection. We caught it late on a mid week night and were blown away. Their flaun was a perfect end of the evening.

Such a fun and cute place! My grandma has been wanting to take me here for so so long!! We both got the Milwaukee and loved it!! I also got the brisket - which was good but nothing compared to the Milwaukee. Margs were good. They were PACKED but our server was great and continued to be attentive. Will definitely be back

Oh my goodness what an amazing addition to the restaurant scene in downtown Delafield. I've had my eyes on this place for a while and we were so happy to finally have the chance to stop in! This feels like an upscale place if you love Mexican food but want elevated ambiance. The tacos we ordered were all incredible. The flavor profiles are unique yet familiar - delicious and creative twists to Mexican cuisine. The mango fish taco was by far my favorite: fresh, light, sweet and spicy - so good!! And the lavender flan was the creamiest flan I've ever had. My husband and I also agreed these were also the best margaritas we've had from a local restaurant. We're new parents and brought our infant for the night out - sincere thank you on behalf of all parents looking for clean and functional changing spaces in the bathroom. We really appreciated how clean the bathrooms were, and how nice the changing station was so I could quick do what we needed to do and go back to enjoying our meal. We absolutely will be back!

I have reviewed Contento before but our visits here are worth additional words. We arrived on a Tuesday night and were seated by a wonderful server, PJ as well as the owner, Manolo and his wife Kelly. It feels so warm and welcoming when we are here. Two tacos, a few chips, and two drinks (twisted hot chocolate!) made for a perfect meal and evening. Tuesdays are not the busiest day which makes for the right day to stop in if you want a calmer-paced evening. And we then got the super cool t-shirts to top off the evening! Thank you, Contento for all you offer the area. The food is delicious and the drinks unique and great. If you haven't been to Contento yet you are missing a treat right in our Delafield backyard. And it is just off I94 at Hwy C so the drive is easy from all directions. The atmosphere is ideal and so far we have not had a bad meal, drink or evening here.

The food was exceptional! A little pricey, but worth it. The service was great. It was a cute little place with great drinks. We will definitely go back!

This has all the feelings of a wine bar, not a Mexican restaurant. The queso had corn in it, which is an instant turn off for me. If there was more flavor, it might have made up for it. Our tacos were tiny, cold & the shells weren't even cooked. We tried the brisket taco, which was dry & the Milwalke which was just gross. The sauce made me almost spit out my 1st bite. To top it off, we had a horrible waitress. She was at our table to drop off our tacos & then we didn't see her again for 20 minutes. We were ready to go after 1! Highly NOT recommended!!

I would like to think I am a connoisseur of Mexican food. I grew up in Southern California, and have travelled extensively in Mexico, and frankly - just love Mexican food. Contento is the closest to eating in Mexico that I have seen in Wisconsin. Simple, fresh ingredients that speak for themselves. It's not similar to most of the Mexican food in Southern Wisconsin - a lot of which has been Americanized and diluted with lower quality ingredients so that "more" ingredients and larger plates become the norm. The pico was delicious and mine was well spiced. It was some of the best I have had. The Pollo Caliente was well seasoned, though not particularly spicy to my pallet. But the shining star of the experience was the service. PJ was our server and she delivers a 5 star experience in what I would call a casual dining environment. She was literally one of the best servers I have ever had. If you're looking for super large portions that are dumbed down with Sysco ingredients, I would pass. If you are looking for an experience that you would get actually in Mexico - look no further. And if you're lucky enough to get PJ - treat her well - she's a gem!

The quality of food was a 10/10. The sangria we ordered was one of the best I've ever had. It had a smoky cinnamon stick with a great flavor. Things that could be better -better menu and more options -pricing for what you get is really skimpy I ordered 3 tacos and these are the small street size mini so not even regular size for 15 dollars and no sides. The service was really slow. I don't see this place lasting in the winter without giving people a reason to come or good value.

Really wanted to like this place. Don't understand so many five star reviews. Decor is nice. Staff is super friendly, and efficient. Worth a try for the great service, and nice to see the hostess pitching in and helping it a good experience. Margaritas were very good. Small and expensive, but very good. Pico with chips was just ok. Very bland. Chips tasted like they were the inexpensive ones out of a bag. Milwaukee meat taco was very good. Would have it again. Shrimp taco had cut up pieces, not cleaned, and overcooked and very tough in texture. Street corn was just ok. Guacamole was also just ok. Really nothing stood out as great or even very good. Will try again to check out more of a range of the taco-dominated menu, since so many good reviews, but our experience so far, when they were not too busy on a Thursday afternoon, was not very good. There are a few places nearby where the Mexican food is better, and if you order a top shelf margarita you will get twice the drink for the same price.

Really good tacos, friendly service. Our server Presley was fantastic and extremely friendly! Just docked one star bc how cold it was inside. I assume they'll be creating a vestibule bc every time the door is opened the entire restaurant fills with cold air.

We stopped for cocktails and appetizers on a Sunday afternoon. We weren't disappointed. Our waitress couldn't have been friendlier and made great suggestions to us. We were happy that they have a patio, as well as indoor dining options. Great addition to downtown Delafield!

Food was delicious. Service was impeccable. Kids loved the quesadillas. Parents loved the margaritas. The unique kinds of tacos were great. We'll be back soon!

This place is . Great tequila selection. Real (authentic?) Mexican food compared to the free chips and salsa places that liter lake country. Easily the best Mexican food in area. Small menu so probably not for picky eaters, but everything we got was legit. Great for date night.

I don't know what our waitress name was, she had brown hair but- she was over the top phenomenal. I have celiacs disease and she let me know that everything but three items are gluten free and made sure to let me know the tacos don't fall apart (a common gluten free problem). also made me feel comfortable letting me know a lot of the ingredients are locally sourced and the tacos shells are minimum ingredients (3). she was correct, didn't fall apart. food was out of this world (my two year old brother agreed :)) everyone in my party tonight had such a good time, the interior, music, and overall vibe of this place was awesome. amazing food, amazing service. I will 100% be back soon to bring new customers. thank you Contento for a great night.

The tacos and pico and chips are fantastic! We got the Milwalke taco, shrimp cilantro taco and bone marrow tacos. There were so many good options, it was hard to choose! I think bone marrow was my favorite, followed by shrimp. I will definitely be back down those! The drinks, however, were subpar and way overpriced. The margaritas were a huge disappointment. I'd go back for the tacos, but plan to drink somewhere else!

Great elevated street tacos. And service was awesome. PJ rocks. Hand made craft cocktail's (smoked tequila old fashioned was amazing)

When Manolo had to close Los Paisa in Bayside I thought we would never have Bam Bam style tacos ever again. I thought I would never get to have his abuela's sauce, or have a tequila with him again. He promised a new place would open eventually, but the restaurant business is fickle and difficult and I wasn't sure it would materialize. But through a lot of hard work and determination a new version of our beloved Los Paisa was born. It's an entirely new take on things, with a mostly new menu and new drinks. Some favorites are there and some new ones too. It's only been open a few days but so far the food is top notch and the atmosphere is upbeat and inviting. I miss the coziness of the old location but look forward to seeing what this new space can become. The food was as good as ever and some of the new drinks were fun and refreshing (though a bit on the small side if I'm being honest). I'm holding my judgement until I have them all, because some are actually pretty great and quite appropriate at that size. So maybe I just need to see them all first. That said this was a great new place with awesome food and drinks. My 11 year old foodie loved every bite and can't wait to come back. I don't know what more I could ask for personally.

Elevated tacos and tequila place right in downtown Delafield. Has a slightly wider Mexican food menu but the main focus is the tacos and tequila and they did not disappoint. Started with the guacamole and chips, and the street corn. Very nice flavor on the guac, and the guacamole is garnished with pomegranate for a bit different take. The street corn was done just right and super tasty but a bit messy, the corn cob pieces should be served on sticks or the corn off the cob. Had a margarita and it was delish. Had an assortment of tacos for the main, the "Milwalke", the beef brisket and the bam bam chicken. They were all good and the namesake Milwalke taco was the standout, wow, that was great. Our server Dawson was friendly. Nice decor inside fitting the concept with some Frida Kahlo images and other bits. Good sized with a lot of seating and a decent sized bar too. We had tried several times to get in here but it was always busy. We lucked out on a Friday night and there was a table open right when we walked in. A great addition to Delafield and lake country, and will be back!

What immediately struck us was the ambiance. It was relaxed and welcoming. The food and drink choices were wide. The smoky tequila old-fashioneds and Palomas were delicious. Food was even better. The mole de pollo was well spiced with a smoky flavor to it. Tacos had a variety of tastes with each bite. We'll be back.

Mediocre food, and our food had obviously sat for a good 20 minutes. No free refills on soda, stale chips, just..meh. Too much money for the quality of food.

Really good tacos and margaritas. This place is a much-needed step up from the typical Americanized Mexican food in the area. Friendly bartenders and a good selection of tequilas. Looking forward to trying some of the entrees on our next visit.

Food is wonderful. I grew up in San Diego so I have high standards for Mexican food. They have the best guacamole! The rest of their food is great too. Service was good too. On our first visit the mixed up our order but were quick to fix it and didn't charge us for the taco. Cute decor. If you use the ladies room you have to read the do not flush sign.

We read the 5-star reviews and just had to try Contento. Really nice to have a new Mexican food place in Lake Country! Great drink menu with fair prices. Generous serving of chips and pico de gallo. There are no other options for salsa which was surprising. Tacos were served on blue corn soft shells but on the cool side. Great flavor on the Chicken Bam Bam tacos; shrimp was very overdone on both the taco and Shrimp Bayside entre, which my husband ordered. The shrimp entre was served in a white sauce that lacked any flavor and the shrimp was way too overdone! The "house potatoes" were nothing special. Kind of like a soggy potato chip and really skimpy portion.We decided to get additional tacos - the brisket (good flavor but dry) and the flank steak. Flank steak had great flavor topped with delicious guacamole. Overall, we would recommend sticking with the taco options. Server Presley was kind and attentive. The owner checked in with us (after our request) and was also polite. He said he would buy us a drink if/when we came again. Thought that was kind of strange - why not comp us the chips or a beer this time? We're hoping Contento takes our comments as constructive. We want to see them succeed!

A relaxed atmosphere without standing food and drink. The seafood enchiladas are terrific. As is the Pollo Caliente. The Manolo margarita is excellent.

Empty plate. My husband and I tried 4 of the taco choices which all were very delicious. Drinks were strong and delicious. The jalapeño locos app is not too spicy and a must try. Very friendly bar staff and owner. Went on a busier night and had fantastic service.

Can you say Tequila? This is the place for unique tequila cocktails and an over the top collection of rare tequilas and mezcals. The street tacos are wonderful and with home made tortillas. Grilled avocado appetizer? Wow! Great staff top off a great experience.

Amazing service, kind employees and great food. Definitely worth coming back for the Milwaukee taco. Delicious and would also recommend

Fantastic tacos with blue corn tortillas...especially liked the Bam Bam chicken! Service for our table was great with attentive and informative servers. Will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu!

La comida es auténtica bien ambiente el dueño Manolo súper amáñale me sentí muy cómoda

Fantastic food and service! We enjoyed ourselves immensely. The grilled avocado appetizer is a must.

Food was great, service was awesome! The smoked tequila old fashioned was delicious and unique and the flan was epic with a passion fruit caramel. Definitely coming back for both!

Not only is the staff friendly, but the food was great. The pico was fresh, coconut shrimp came with a pineapple glaze that paired well so you could still taste the coconut, tacos were a premium version of BelAir. One word of advice to anyone trying Contento - you have to order the churros. They were my favorite part of the meal and best $6 I've spent in a while. Phenomenal.

We stopped by Contento for a drink and chips and pico de gallo. We ordered an espresso martini and margarita. Both were excellent and very unique. The bartenders were knowledgeable, friendly, and you could tell how passionate they were about the drinks and restaurant. I'd absolutely recommend stopping in and giving Contento a try! We're looking forward to trying more of their drinks next time we're in town.

Wow! Best tacos I have in quite a while. Got mine to-go and after I rapidly consumed them I was ready for round two. I had the Bam Bam, milwalke,and beef brisket tacos. Will definitely return!

Best tacos in SE WI! Finally an amazing, authentic and delicious Mexican restaurant is in the Lake Country! The tacos were large, ingredients were fresh and flavors were spot on. We got the steak, chicken and brisket and don't know which one we liked best! Guac and chips were good and so were the margaritas. Can't wait to go back!

The drinks were so good and the chicken mole had just the right amount of spice. Looking forward to another visit.

After traveling Mexico, living in California for 40 years and living in Arizona for the past 12 years! The waitress asked if I knew what mole sauce was well what they called mole sauce was to sweet not enough spices and overall the worst I ever had. Then the service I asked for a top shelf margarita they need to go back to bartenders school! We only ordered 3 items they forgot to bring our Pico de gallo! No condiments on the tables, we asked for salt, my wife finally went and got it. The Ambiance gets them 1 star. It's a one time only restaurant go to Senor Thomas's if you want authentic Mexican and a good Margarita!

Everyone was very efficient and friendly. Food was excellent. The avocado tatemado, with shrimp and jicama ceviche was outstanding. Thanks to our waitress for suggesting this appetizer. Wish I lived in the area, would definitely be a place that I would return to over and over.

Great food. Quality restaurant. Massive Tequila selection. First time we visited. Nice decor. I bit noisy. But the food and service were top notch.
