La Contenta - Lower East Side
Description
La Contenta is a Mexican bistro, not a taqueria, although the fish tacos are excellent. Let partner Alex Valencia be your guide to small-batch tequila and mezcal, his collection one of the most well-curated in the City. The dark, intimate space is splashed with a Mesoamerican Quetzalcoatl mural by Mexican artist Olivié Ponce, and the two dozen seats are often claimed by neighborhood gallery and boutique owners.
