Restaurace Cantina Prague

Colourful Mexico in 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!
