La Contenta Cocina del Barrio serves authentic Mexican cuisine with French accents.
Dive into boldly-flavored, passionately-prepared dishes, such as the Pork Rib Eye a la Parrilla, Chile Relleno y Ratatouille, or Tostada de Cangrejo. If you want to have brunch here, try the Torrejas French Toast. Wash it all down with something from the full bar, such as one of their Alt Agave cocktails.
A Mazatlan native, Chef Luis Arce Mota opened La Contenta in 2015 with the help of partner, Alex Valencia. This restaurant is situated in the heart of the Lower East Side, close to Tenement Museum.
