Tex-Mex veteran churns out variations of everyone's favorite party food. – The Scene The bright mix of colors painted on the cafe's walls matches the vivid margaritas that sit on nearly every table and litter the sceney bar. The strong, fruity concoctions come with punchy flavors like passion fruit, strawberry and blood orange and draw a casual but fashion-forward crowd. The Food This Chelsea favorite is known for its creative Mexican cuisine. The citrus-habanero marinated shrimp atop a mango and corn salsa could benefit fro... read more

Great Food! – The food here is delicious and slightly different from the standard Mexican fare! The MARGARITAS ARE GREAT- stick to a regular Margarita, on the rocks and use Silver Tequila! The place is small, quaint and yes, it does get noisy at times - but thats part of its ambience. Have found the staff very accomodating, adjusting our Margarita if we did not like it (we ordered 2 different kinds of Tequila). All in all, its a great place and I would go for the food! We've never been rushed out of there and that could be b... read more

Unusual treat – Nuevo Mexican food and good drinks make this a fun place. A far cry for Tex-Mex fare. Only complaints were the noise level. When a crowd is that loud, loud music only makes everyone talk louder. A truly undesireable effect.

Bang for your buck! – I went to Rocking Horse with a bunch of ladies for a night on the town. The food was really good, the margaritas were smoking! And the service was pretty good, until they asked us to leave (little frustrating, but I understand). And the total bill was only $41/ head. Awesome! I would definitely go back!

Loved it – The host was horrendous and insisted I didn't have a reservation when in fact I did, but the manager and the waitstaff were completely accomadating and professional, with a sense of humor. The food was terrific, everyone in my party enjoyed themselves and the atmosphere leaves little room for improvement. I highly recommend it.

don't believe the hype... – margaritas...poor, though strawberry was better than raz. cosmos- absolutely awful and green, on purpose?!! best to do a beer, as the bartenders can't mess that up! food was decent, service was not attentive. overall, not even close to impressed... try zarela's for the best mexican (and margaritas) this far north of the border!!

Yummy, yummy – The best Strawberry maragritas this far north of the border. The food was fresh, authentic and not too heavy. The staff was very attentive and quick. Great place for lunch.

Good but – I was not thrilled with the resturant. It seemed to gourmet for Mexican and it was pricey. The combination of flavors used in their dishes was amazing - I just wish there was more there for the price. The mango sorbet is good and the avacado sorbet is great. The service was top - notch. So I would go back.
