There’s a special place in our hearts for a Mexican breakfast, and La Contenta delivers. For some West Coast transplants, it can be desperately hard to find authentic Mexican food, but this brunch spot tops the list of New York City eateries. Like Freeman’s, La Contenta serves brunch, dinner, and happy hour drinks and plates. So, you have plenty of opportunities to try it all.
As far as the brunch menu goes, there are some traditional items like guacamole and huevos rancheros. Still, there are also some twists on classic dishes, like fish tacos served with fried catfish, coleslaw, and chipotle aioli. If you’re looking for a fresh, filling torta, try the Torta Cubana, which is served with pork belly, ham, queso fresco, and avocado.
