Rocking Horse Cafe

A New York Magazine Critic’s Pick, food at this Mexican outpost matches the atmosphere. Bright and bold with a sophisticated touch, the food and fun offer both serious and innovative options. Potent margaritas are made with the finest tequila and match a revamped menu that highlights inventive options like a jalapeño braised brisket or mustard-and-guava-paste-crusted lamb chops. Located in Chelsea, the restaurant plays up the lively vibe, and open-air dining assures you’ll never miss out on the fun happening around you.
