This place is beautiful; the food quality was very good. Even though the food was expensive, it was well worth. The service was good.

Best Creative Mexican in NYC – I've been coming here for years. Always reliable and creative mexican fare. It's not the greasy tex-mex that most other "Mexican" places peddle - this place is authentic with fresh ingredients. Be adventurous - don't just choose the enchiladas (although they are great also!). I always have the fish dishes. The striped bass is great and the current cod special is fantastic - note to management: please put it on the regular menu!! Note that you need to expect a high energy/noise level on busy nig... read more

Neighborhood Gem in Chelsea – Local gem to Chelsea. Rocking Horse Cafe has everything one could want, from the food to the atmosphere. Wait staff is truly amazing. Ask for Diego, he will take good care of you. RHC serves high scale Mexican cuisine. The flavors are truly amazing. I highly recommend the braised pork or the burritos. Drinks are too die for. Stop by and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Great Food – Took a date here The drinks were great The food was awesome, portions too huge to consume. Very loud so make sure you scream into the eating partner's ear

MMmmmm Mexican! – Really good Mexican and Mexican fusion... but not your average taco + chalupa kind of Mexican... we are talking slow cooked savory pork dishes, served over mashed plantains... guacamole with pickled onions served on the side (this is soooo much better than it sounds!)...seafood options.... just really good, filling, make-your-mamma proud kind of meals. And a good selection of margaritas don't hurt either!

Amazing Tex Mex – Best tex mex in Chelsea by far, easy to access by train or cab and food is spectacular. The Shrimp Tamal is a mst order and the Hangar Steak Burrito is filling and delicious. The staff are polite and on point. And the prices a very reasonable for the area. The only drawback is that it may be difficult for a person in a wheelchair to access the restrooms.

My Favorite Restaurant – Been a regular for almost 20 years, brunch, lunch and dinner. Food is consistently great. Brunch is the best in NY. Lunch is one of the best values and dinner is amazing. The staff is helpful, knowledgable and fun. Margaritas are huge and perfect. Everything is fresh and delicious. I'm hoping for another 20 years - at least!
