Restaurace Cantina Prague

Colourful Mexico in Prague

Janina from Prague

""Restaurace Cantina" in Prague is a super-colourful Mexican restaurant in the heart of the city, perfect for some jalapenos. Tip: do visit the restroom!"

I like colours a lot, and I also like crazy people. And that's basically Mexico so it makes sense that I had to try the first Mexican restaurant in Prague. And I can recommend this to anyone, too.

Cantina is a super colourful restaurant in the heart of Prague with many great dishes and drinks. You don't have to love hot food to enjoy Cantina, as they have a variety of dishes here, but it's a perfect place to ask for some jalapenos.

During hot summer days, there is a small place outside the restaurant so you can enjoy the busy Újezd, one of the oldest streets of Prague, or you can just stay inside and spend your time not only eating but also watching the walls and decorations of the restaurant. And there is a lot to watch.

Now it may sound a bit crazy but... be sure to use a lavatory here, because I believe you will love the tiles and mirrors and floor and washbasin there! Well, I love it. And I'll tell you a secret: the ladies' room and men's room have different decorations!

Prague Spotter Janina

About me I'm an old punk, mother of five kids and a workaholic (for obvious reasons), trying to get some sleep, sometimes. I come from a family of car racers, translators and historians. I look at the world and happily take pictures of it. Why I love Prague I love old walls and Prague is full of them. I feel at home in both my cities (I'm from Brno, now living in Prague), and I think my cities like me too. There's always some place to go to (not speaking about pubs etc), something new to see or something seen to explore again. Where else can you find me on...
