Went for brunch today and it was pretty dead at 11:45 am. Prix fixe menu for $16 is the way to go! I got the pancakes, a mimosa and coffee and was set. The pancakes were delicious!

Been coming to this Nuevo (New) Mexican Chelsea fave for 15+ yrs. Decor was updated 2 yrs ago. Love their creative cocktails & consistently great dishes: Carnitas, Homemade tortilla chips w/ chipotle

Get guac side instead of guac app w/ chicharrones (fried pork crackling), pickled red onions, & papaya & mango relish. Less guac but pairing small amt of fillings w/ huge corn tortillas is not a must

That steak burrito is something else and when it's accompanied with a cocktail at only $16, you got yourself a winner. Cute decor, patient wait staff, and just overall an amazing time. Eat up!

Amazing brunches and happy hours. $7 margs are quite large. The huevos rancheros and chicken tenga tacos are the bomb! (If they ever have avocado fries, also order them. They are seasonal item)

Holy wow. Normally I'm quite weary of "modern" Mexican places, but this place is so damn tasty. You can tell they use traditional ways of preparing their food, just wish modern flavors and a twist.

Really fun place! Pricy menu, cute staff, wonderful drinks. My first time here I had an amazing duck quesadilla with goat cheese and an arugula salad on top -- I still think about it!

Sit at the bar and nosh on the giant chips and creamy dip! Ask for the house made hot sauce if you like spice.

The Huevos Rancheros are surprisingly delicious. Wonderful use of tomatillas, frijoles, and creme fraiche to make a dish that wants me to lick the plate at the end!

If frank is bartending ...eat at the bar. No matter how busy he is, he'll be entertaining and his margaritas are strong!

The budin azteca is very flavorful, filling, and not expensive. What more do you want?

Lunch specials are well worth it. Try the chicken pazole soup

Brunch prix fixe is yummy and a good deal. Get there early, and note that they will not seat you until your entire party is present, no way, no how, never ever.

Rocking Horse is OPEN. Get your drink on and get you fix of great food. Ask for Seam or Jasmine at the bar - or have Diego wait on you!!!! Run don't walk.

The food was okay. I got the meatloaf. It tasted very dry and mealy. However, service was excellent and the guac & ginormous chips were delicious.
Dorota KAugust 20, 2013
Amazing food and so many frozen margaritas to choose from......worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood!

Love that they give fried pork bits, tomatillo and pickled onions on the side when u order guac--also comes with tortillas. Lamb shank huge but good. Daily specials. Margaritas are strong and sweet.

The Croque Señor is quite possibly the best sandwich in NYC. And I mean that.
Danielle CarrickMay 24, 2013
Awesome lunch special. Definitely try the soups, especially the chipotle butternut squash or the corn. Amazeballs.
AnthonyAugust 20, 2014
Tasty margaritas. Extremely filling Mexican. Try the enchilada dishes. Stick to small plates unless you're truly starving
Lukas ThomsApril 13, 2017
The Mahi Mahi taco are truly sublime.
Courtney BenczeNovember 19, 2011
Huevos Rancheros are fantastic. Partner them up with one of their frozen margaritas and you're well on your way to a perfect Saturday!
Roniel TesslerAugust 11, 2018
Guacamole is great (and doesn't have cilantro!). Great all around Mexican fare.
Elba R.M.February 20, 2017
They have the best pastel or budin azteca I've ever tried outside of Mexico!
Monti BrayDecember 13, 2015
Seriously some of the best salsa in the city. The guac is up there too.
Ryan WarrenderSeptember 7, 2017
Great happy hour 5-7 M-F
Jessica PlacenciaNovember 11, 2016
A refreshing modern twist on Mexican. Try their soups and guacamole.
Jon hoffmanMay 19, 2014

I LOVE the giant chips (house made methinks) and that salsa/chipotle purée dip is righteous!
