Fun spot, good food and GREAT margaritas!! – The Rocking Horse is a great after work place to go with friends. I been several times and have never been disappointed. The drinks are awesome, especially the margaritas, they're a must! Served in BIG glasses nice and cold. If you're sitting at the bar and just want appetizers, i highly recommend the quesadillas with manchego cheese and mushrooms, one of my favorites. The guacamole is always good too. If you decide to sit and have a full meal, the hangar steak is the way to go, c... read more
Favorite Mexican Restaurant – I'm a big fan of Mexican food, and after I came to the Rocking Horse this week I made it one my favorite Mexican restaurants. The server was very knowledgeable; after recommending me the salmon with chayote he chose a glass of wine for me that went really well with the dish. My friends also had a great time. I couldn?t stop staring at the exotic drinks they were having. The manager was very cordial and attentive (and handsome). The ambience, in general, made me feel young again.
Best Margaritas Ever! – Dining at the Rocking Horse was a wonderful experience. From the moment when the beautiful hostess welcomed us with a great smile to the second we walked out. The service was excellent; our waiter was educating us about the modern Mexican cuisine that characterizes this restaurant and was being very attentive with all the needs we had. The special scallops that the server recommended was very original and delicious (complement to the Chef!) and the Mezcal margarita that the bartender suggested was thr... read more
Highly Recommended – On my third visit to the Rocking Horse I had a tasty and yummy dish, which I strongly recommend if you love seafood. I ordered ?Camarones con Papaya? (shrimp caramelized onions with papaya). The combination of the shrimp, onions and papaya gave this dish an original and delicious flavor. After sipping up my drink I was speechless! the best mojito ever. Our waiter was friendly and responsive. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere was enjoyable.
great vibe- fun, young, buzzing, and so much more! – Rocking Horse had a great vibe- fun, young, buzzing with energy. It wasnt uber cheezy like most mexican restaurants, i dug the tastefully colorful decor. our service was prompt and courteous, and our waitress had a personality. im sick of those femmebot waitresses who dont even know how to really talk to someone outside of taking an order. The drinks were neat, interesting mixtures of less common upper shelf liquor and fresh juice. They were strong, even with a full meal. ... read more

always great fun, excellent food – I have been to Rocking Horse several times, and it has been great everytime. I have sampled several of their dishes and each are fresh, flavorful, visually appealing, and well-prepared. The restaurant?s upbeat decor sets a great mood to unwind and chat with your fellow diners, and there is always a lively bar scene in the front. The drinks are original and tasty and made with the best ingredients. The manager is ever so attentive. I was drinking a martini, and ate all my olives, and she cam... read more
great overall experience – Rocking Horse is not like the typical tacky Mexican restaurant at all (i.e. no sombreros on the walls) yet the decor is festive and classy. The food was always a more gourmet Mexican, yet it has really improved over the years. The owners are clearly always looking to improve this place. There is always a hip crowd munching on the gourmet tortillas and killer guac. The bar offers all types of fancy fresh fruit Margaritas, and a killer selection of Tequila. I have found it easy to make this a regular... read more
