NYC New Restaurant Openings, August 2025 | Eater NY

"An expansion of the Lower East Side’s Mexican-themed La Contenta adds a second location in Brooklyn, taking over the old Hungry Burrito space with a menu full of tacos, nachos, enchiladas, and margaritas." - Nadia Chaudhury

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

I’m from Mexico City and can honestly say their food is great! We went on Independence Day and the live music and atmosphere was great!

Ever since I heard they opened up a location in Greenpoint, my curiosity got the best of me. Me and my boyfriend decided to check it out. We ordered the nachos (best nachos I’ve had) we always get them. For drinks we ordered the cantarito al pastor - So good! Definitely recommend stopping by, decor/ambiance was great. Also, love the idea of the garden in the back!

I was already pretty excited to check out this new spot but La Contenta truly blew my expectations out of the water. Our cocktails were awesome and the guac was very good but the tacos were to die for. The pescado tacos were packed with flavor and the steak tacos were an absolute show-stealer, just perfectly cooked meat and a wonderful sauce. The service was also warm and fast. Excited to have this gem in the neighborhood!

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!
