The Venue
Authentic Mexican restaurant with French accents. Check out the full menu right here.
Chef Luis Arce Mota brings years of skill, experience and ambition to the kitchen of La Contenta. At La Contenta it is his goal to showcase his Mexican roots and his classical French culinary training, offering Mexican cuisine with French accents.
Chef Mota’s story is archetypal, that of someone starting at the bottom and determinedly working his way up. Emigrating to the United States from Mazatlán, Mexico in the early 1990’s, Luis began his culinary career as a dishwasher in Carmine’s Restaurant in Times Square.
His early exposure to and love for family cooking and traditions in Mexico primed his eagerness to learn more in New York at every opportunity.
