La Contenta

Great taste — but extremely overpriced for the portion size. I’ll be honest — the food was excellent. The black beans were a 10/10, and the rice was solid, around an 8 or 9. No complaints on flavor — it was well-seasoned and fresh. But for $13, the portions were way too small. Even if the containers had been filled to the top (they weren’t), they’re still very small to begin with. If you’re someone who doesn’t mind paying more for good taste and smaller portions, this might work for you. But for me — I can’t justify that price for so little food. There are people in this area who can afford that without blinking, but I’m budgeting every dollar. I need value, not just flavor. Great food. Just not worth the price. I won’t be going back.

This place is an overlooked gem. Good food! Good drinks! Good drink line up! Good service! Music forward. Housemade quartered tortilla chips. Super cozy - 6-8 tables and 7-8 bar seats. They do a great job! I’m a mexi-snob and I’ll be back. It would be a 4.8 and hard to get into with a little marketing. Just needs to be fully booked with a little waiting list/line. Shouldn’t be posting this as on my return I might not get in :(

Food was AMAZING and absolutely worth the visit. The tacos and guac were sooo good. Only small feedback is that the seating felt a little tight for plus-size guests, but overall we had a great experience and the food was top tier.

Ventured out for our 26th wedding anniversary. Enchiladas Suizas de Pollo, Tacos de Pollo, guacamole, El Mayan and El Mariachi for drinks. Dinner was excellent, drinks even better. Service and atmosphere is always a plus. Thanks for hosting us through the years.

Stopped here to get food and drink at the bar near the FM subway at Delaney street. WOW got happy hour (before 7) smallish place festive music but not too loud. Excellent cocktails and nice food presentation. The happy hour nachos with meat was a really tasty but relatively light dinner for me. Yum.
