Pretty good... – ... but a little inconsistent. Decent food, great neigborhood staple, but lunch there is better than dinner. Dinnertime brings you small portions for high prices, unfortunately. The food here used to be spectacular, but a year or two ago it slipped to the "just pretty good" spot on my food-o-meter. I wonder if it changed chefs or something, because it suddenly stopped being as consistently fabulous as it used to be. Still, a decent place to grab a bite, but not worth waiting more than 10 minutes for a table ... read more

Your basic YUM! – Low key, fun atmosphere, friendly service and scrumptious Mexican-inspired food. The dishes were creative without venturing into that dreaded territory of so-precious-we-forgot-you-would-want-to-eat-it. Weekday lunch is less crowded and the staff cheerfully tolerated a 3-year-old. (He was pretty darn well-behaved.)

Terrific – The staff is wonderful! They were very nice and extremely accommodating to a large group. I have never seen such great service in New York. In addition, the decor is cute and the food was good too. A group of 12 of us went and did not pay very much for a good meal and great service.

Mexican chic – I went here for lunch and enjoyed their spicy salmon burger and fries, as well as a mango margarita. The atmosphere was colorful and relaxing. The prices could have been cheaper though. All in all a nice place to eat.

Potent Margs! – The mango margs are great and the food is always tasty! Great outdoor seating and people watching too!

This place has the potential to be great. The chips and salsa are different than your average chip. But they are good. And so are the margaritas. Try the Mango Margarita. Try the glazed tuna.

Good that could be Great – Rocking Horse is a good restaraunt. We've been going for many years. The food is usually very good...you could never go wrong with the chicken or steak burrito. The chips and salsa...one of the best in the city! Some of the special dishes are excellent too. Rocking Horse could be an excellent restaraunt all around. However, it is a bit pricey for what it is and the staff could try to remember their clientele. Margaritas are delicious and the sidewalk cafe is great for people watching along 8th aven... read more

Fabulous – This is a great little spot for drinks, dinner and dessert....especially if you're a gay man and want to look at the cute but flamboyant waitstaff. The steak burrito is killer, the mussels appetizer is delicious and large enough for a meal. Great guac and salsa as well. The desserts were the real highlight, though...the key lime napolean is to die for. Drawback: tiny, crowded, noisy and you may have to wait.
