Mexican Restaurants in Prague

OK, this is a strong statement, but Banditos near the I. P. Pavlova metro is where we've had some of the most authentic American-style Mexican food we have found in Prague so far. This especially goes for the enchilada plate complete with real refried beans and Mexican rice. The strange thing is that the same enchilada plate can be nothing but average the next time. Despite this inconsistency, we recommend Banditos as a good and cheap option for Mexican. The menu also offers burgers, sandwiches, steak, pasta, salads, and brunch.

Cantina
A fun place with OK food

This Malá Strana restaurant has been around for years and is very popular. It is almost always busy and virtually impossible to get a table at after 7 p.m. if you don't have a reservation. The atmosphere is nice and cozy, the background music (in Spanish) pleasant. The service varies from person to person. We have found the food to range from great to so-so, depending on what you order. The slightly spicy Aztec bean soup is delicious and worth a special trip and the fajitas are very good, too. The chicken enchiladas are salty and can be mushy and the nachos con queso translate into a pile of dry tortilla chips covered with a gooey lid of melted cheese. Overall, worth a visit. Make a reservation!

Las Adelitas
Authentic Mexican cuisine

Las Adelitas is a small Mexican-owned restaurant in Vinohrady. It serves Mexican staples, such as tacos, burritos, enchiladas, flautas, or quesadillas. Among our favorites are the tacos al pastor and enchiladas mixtas that come with green, red and mole salsa. For a meatless option, try the burrito vegetariano with mushrooms. The restaurant is non-smoking and service is pleasant and courteous. If you can't eat in, you can order food to go or have your meal delivered anywhere in Prague and the greater Prague area.
