About Rocking Horse, a Mexican restaurant in NYC
Our modern Mexican restaurant receives top ratings as the best in New York by food critics and dining guests.
Rocking Horse Cafe is a uniquely elegant voice of New York with a warm Mexican accent and offers serious food in a casual environment.
Designed to evoke the spirit of Rocking Horse's contemporary menu, the restaurant's modern sleekness and bold blocks of color are warmed by Mexican-inspired works of art. Delightful innovative dishes as well as contemporary treatments of the classics are the basis for the pre-Columbian inspired menu.
The lively, seductively-lit bar features signature margaritas made with the finest artisan-produced tequilas in Mexico. A retractable front wall allows for open-air dining and a prime view of the happenings on Eighth Avenue, Chelsea's energetic "Main Street".
