La Contenta Greenpoint

After more than a decade on the Lower East Side, La Contenta brings its traditional Mexican flavors to Brooklyn. The space carries the warm, attentive feel of a family-run spot, where the atmosphere strikes a comfortable balance between lively and unhurried—making it an easy choice for a lingering Sunday brunch. The kitchen doesn't skimp on portions, especially with the appetizers, and highlights include a ceviche de camarón featuring a finely diced medley of shrimp, cucumber, serrano, and avocado. Pair the food with one of their signature craft cocktails to complete the neighborhood experience.
