Fantastic service. Delicious food and good drinks. They did not go cheap on the drinks.

Came here for a cocktail making class hosted once a month by bartender Alex! He’s the best - super knowledge about Mexican spirits & a great teacher. We had so much fun making 3 cocktails, one of which we created ourselves. We also loved the food that came along with it, while we enjoyed our drinks! The class is hosted once a month and can be booked through Leisurely app.

I visited this place for the first time nine years ago, and I was impressed by their drinks and starters at that time. Before I share my experience, I want to give a big shout-out to the warm and friendly service. The staff is incredibly nice and always there to help ensure you have a great experience. They are polite and treat you well, making it easy to consider coming back. Now, let's talk about the food. The whole experience was fantastic, but I want to highlight the dishes we tried that day. **To Start:** We ordered fish tacos and classic guacamole. I’m not a big fan of fish, but those fish tacos were really, really good. The guacamole was fresh and tasty, a perfect match with their totopos. **Main Course:** I really wanted to try their Pollo en Mole Poblano, but we arrived too early for it. However, it was very kind of them to open the lunch menu for us before 4 PM. **Enchiladas Suizas:** Five stars! I loved how they were prepared. They had the perfect level of spiciness, enhancing the flavors without being overpowering. This is exactly the amount of spice I enjoy in a dish. **Huarache de Camaron:** This dish included masa dough, grilled shrimp, bean puree, Swiss cheese, and roasted salsa. The roasted salsa was incredible—so rich in flavor. Five stars! **Branzino Veracruz:** This dish featured Branzino with Veracruz sauce and Mexican rice. It had incredible, rich flavors. It was lightly spicy, just enough to enhance the experience. Five stars! I am a big fan of desserts and always look for something interesting and memorable. I ordered their Tres Leches cake made with pulque and corn flour. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was very happy with my choice. The flavor was different—not too sweet, just perfect. It was a unique experience that I really enjoyed. Will I come back? Absolutely! I can’t wait to try their Pollo en Mole Poblano. I highly recommend this place!

Totally brilliant boutique Mexican joint on the LES. Great Guacamole, Great Frozen Margaritas, Great Tacos, and great atmosphere/service. Just go. And get the spicy salt on your marg.

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!

We recently hosted a 50th birthday party at La Contenta in the Lower East Side. From the moment we began planning, Maria was amazing to work with—warm, attentive, and so genuinely committed to making the evening feel intimate and unforgettable. The atmosphere at La Contenta was cozy and welcoming—exactly the kind of vibe we were hoping for. The food was outstanding and the drinks fantastic. The service was flawless all night. If you’re looking for a spot to host a special event—or just want an amazing night out—La Contenta is a gem. We’re so grateful to Maria and the entire team for helping us create such a joyful and memorable celebration

Great spot! Incredible tequila selection (only part of it is pictured)! The food was delicious. We had queso fundido and the steak with a twice baked potato and spinach...simple but wow. The flan was tasty but the texture was a little sturdy. Not too too busy on a Saturday night but it was starting to get busy around 7pm. We will definitely be back.

I promise the service is 10 STARS and I could not give a better recommendation. The food is supper WOW! I recommend the carne asada tacos (it comes with rice and beans) you will be full when you leave! COME! You will not be disappointed
