Delectable specialty cocktails – This cafe serves up some of the most original and creative interpretations of Tex-Mex favorites. Not usually a huge fan of this type of cuisine, I was definitely blown away by the innovative use of unexpected ingredients, such as papaya with grilled shrimp and a calamari salad with a citrus dressing. Completely mouth-watering. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable and efficient. A perfect place for amazing food, good friends, and delectable cockt... read more
Best Margarita's in town – I went to the Rocking horse for the first time over four years ago, since then it has been one of my favorite places to dine at. I have to honestly say I have never been disappointed. Being a vegetarian can make it difficult to find restaurants that will go out of there way to accommodate the vegetarian lifestyle, I have never had that problem at the rocking horse, not only do they offer vegetarian plates , on many occasions they have adjusted certain entrees to suit my needs. The margarita's are D... read more
Bright colored cozy night – My visit to Rocking Horse Cafe was outstanding. This was my second or third visit and each time I go I walk away having had a great meal in a friendly fun setting. Our waiter, Diego was very helpful in explaining the specials and offering suggestions His attention to detail throughout the meal couldn't have been better. Something for everybody can be found on the menu. We all decided to get different things and do a bit of sharing, so I got a taste of it all. My favorites are the azteca budin whic... read more
Great vibe! – A really fun place with great Margaritas. The staff is attentive and makes you feel at home. The food was excellent. I had the Sope de Res, which is grilled hanger steak on a masa cake. Delicious! The Lime tart is excellent.
best margaritas by far.. – This place is definitely one of our favorites in Chelsea as far as Mexican goes. By far the best Margaritas in the neighborhood and the food is a great twist on the everyday Mexican. The last time we were there we had a super tasty appetizer of a hanger steak Sope (first time I've had this). It was a sort of thick version of tortilla placed flat with the steak on top. Yum. And my main course was free range chicken breast on mushroom-jalpeno rice. Yum-Yum. Overall the meal was great as usual. And th... read more
The Best service in town...... – I come into the Rocking Horse about every other week. The best place to enjoy great food, and get the best service. I always make sure I say Hi to the bartenders Duane , Samantha , Sergio , and the russian guy V... They always welcome me as soon as walk in... that's a great feeling. Most times I stay at the bar eat with them, however last week , I sat at a table and Ayashi was my waiter... She was amazing...I had the usual Steak Burrito and Tres Leche. My cocktail was this Tangy Plum cosmo. R... read more
Friendly Service, Good Food – We went to Rocking Horse at about 10pm on a Friday night, and found the restaurant to be busy, yet the service was friendly and prompt. We had reservations and were seated immediately, and the maitre d' was extremely friendly. Our waitress got our drink orders immediately, and we really enjoyed our passion fruit cosmos. The food was fresh, creative, very tasty.
Incredible Mexican food with a lively atmosphere – My experience at Rocking Horse Cafe was positive right from the start with a delicious pinapple frozen margarita & only got better from there. The menu is very diverse with many traditional Mexican items as well as very upscale cuisine such as seafood. Our server, Diego, was very friendly, knowledgable & attentive. The food was not only delicious, but artfully presented. The "happening atmosphere is enhanced by funky decor, a hip crowd & great music. Overall, I was very plea... read more
Can't miss food – The Rocking Horse is a can't miss great meal. We started going there about 9 months ago and have been there maybe 5 times now. Each time the food is excellent. My wife usually gets a special and I do the regular menu and we share. The Pork dish on the regular menu is maybe the best pork I have ever tasted. Try it! The other thing about this place that is better than pther restaurants is the level of service. The wait staff is amazing. Very unassuming yet informative and friendly. This is a can't miss place!
