In 1988, my husband Marvin Beck and I opened Rocking Horse Cafe in Chelsea. Inspired by our first drive through the Sierra Madres and our love of all things Mexican, we and our dedicated staff have been committed to offering the very best sustainable, local, organic Mexican cuisine to the people of NYC and its visitors from around the world.

 

At Rocking Horse, we maintain the traditions that keep our dishes so popular because they are part of the taste and texture of the best of Mexico's cocina Nueva. We start with traditional ingredients — chiles, avocado, corn, beans, squash, lime, tomatillos, tomatoes — and transform them into exciting new recados, complex pastes, sauces and marinades, like those hidden little gems found in the Mercado Abastos in Oaxaca.
