Great service, from the person taking my order to the delivery guy making it within the time promised. But it all comes down to the food-doesn't it? My wife ordered the Shrimp con Papaya which was a little spicy for her, but tasty, and the collard greens which were excellent. I had the burrito with Steak which I was at first disappointed with the portion, but then realized it was enough. The Burrito was very tasty although I could have done without so much tortilla. We also had the guacamole and chips which were really good. The only real disappointment was the rice and beans- very bland and a little soggy. Would we order from them again? For the price? probably not, but if we were walking by...maybe we'd drop in.

i'll be perfectly honest. i saw the menu online for rest. week + i was dying to try it. so my bf + i go. we ordered about 6 different dishes + dessert because they SOUNDED good. the only time our waitress made eye contact was when i was signing the check, like "please tip me?" please. i'm sorry. my bf and i are serrrrrious food people. we LOVE food. i cook my butt off. my bf and i were one of maybe 7 other patrons there. i even asked the busboy (the busboys were the only people there with any warmth at all, mind you) if they were usually busier than tonight... he smiled and shook his head. we just cracked up.

Last night I ordered food for delivery, which arrived well before the estimated time. Unfortunately, the soup container collapsed and spilled all over the outside of the other containers. Didn't realize it until after the delivery guy had gone. Called the restaurant, and they sent someone right out with a replacement soup and complimentary chips and salsa (my favorite salsa in Manhattan). Not only is the food delicious (I generally stick to their vegetarian stuff), but the service was absolutely top-rate.

This place is awesome. You don't have to spend a lot and the food is very good for traditional Mexican. The menu offers a wide variety of options as well.

Don't get the bad reviews as well. First time here and was very happy with my meal. Had a hard time deciding what to order so look forward to returning to try some of the other dishes. Service was friendly, attentive and prompt. Place was crowded with good cover music providing an up tempo vibe on what was a dreary night (Hannah was in town). If you're in the neighborhood and want some flavorful, spicy and atypical Mexican then this place is worth a try.

Everything except the margarita was atrocious. I ordered the salmon burger, which was limp, lifeless, and not at all spicy as described. The accompanying greens were tasteless. My companion had the steak salad, which she asked for medium rare. It came out uncooked. Literally. It looked like it was still in the supermarket wrapping. We had it returned to the kitchen where they then overcooked it. It didn't matter much because it wasn't tasty at all - definitely not worth the wait. My beer came out lukewarm on a hot day. The server was nice, but not helpful - and certainly couldn't resolve the issues with the poor food. I'm truly not a harsh reviewer but I will never, ever eat at this place again. Do yourself a favor and avoid it.

This is a nice Chelsea spot for a tasty lunch. Modern Mexican is the approach at Rocking Horse, and it's well-executed. The portions were appropriate for lunch. Nice bar, outdoor people-watching, and a friendly and attentive staff round out this spot.
