La Contenta - Review - New York - The Infatuation

"The third location of the long-standing original La Contenta on the Lower East Side, this Greenpoint Mexican spot looks like a good time, with shrimp enchiladas, steak fajitas, and plenty of tequila to go around. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Molly Fitzpatrick

La Contact is such a gem! ✨ It’s a fresh concept Mexican restaurant that feels so warm and home-like the second you walk in. Sometimes they even have live music, which makes it even more special. Roberto is hands down the most hospitable person I’ve ever met — he made the whole experience feel like we were guests in his home. We had so much fun! And the food… wow. We tried guacamole, shrimp tacos, salmon, another shrimp dish, and honestly every single thing was incredible. I couldn’t even pick a favorite because it was all so delicious. And the non alcoholic margaritas are amazing!!! Highly recommend — we’re already planning to come back! 🌮💃

When I heard they opened a Greenpoint location, I had to go. The LES location was my first Mexican food experience in New York and has always been my favorite Mexican food in NYC. I recommend the carne asada tacos and the Oaxaca Express cocktail

The service quality here was absolutely phenomenal as was the quality of food and drinks. This is certainly not one of those run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurants. The quality of food is far superior and we genuinely look forward to coming back.

Best nachos I've ever had and and the staff was super cool, happy friendly and made me wanna brunch all day. I had to have more than 1 drink because it's so smooth. I highly recommend

La Contenta is such a wonderful addition to Greenpoint! We visited on a weeknight and the service was immediately warm and welcoming. Happy hour (from 4-7 p.m.) includes guacamole and chips, fried catfish tacos, and vegetarian nachos and we ordered one of each to share. My kids loved both the food and ambiance of the paper flags or "papel picado" and touch-activated table lamps. The servers were incredibly sweet to them and brought each a marshmallow Paleta Malva Bony Pop at the end of the meal and a tiny mug of "Mexican water" for the adult!
