Cantina

I made a mistake by not ordering tacos. Just putting that out there. Instead I got chicken with honey and potatoes. I’m not sure why-​it seemed good at the time. However, they were not that flavorful-​the only flavor really was honey for both the chicken and potatoes. Pina coladas here are really good. They accommodated our large group as best they could and the service was very helpful and friendly. If I ever came here again, I’d get tacos. Prices for such a big meal were very reasonable (I got 2 meals out of it).

I did not expect much from a Mexican restaurant in Prague, but wow was I in for a delightful surprise. I got the fajitas and my friend got the nachos. Both were very good. I especially loved that the food wasn’t heavily salted. The décor in there was fun and not too tacky. Go on in and have some fajitas!

The Cantina was very close to our hotel (Aria), which is an area that seemed to be a melting pot for restaurants. On the day we left to go back to NY, we decided to have one last bite. Cantina is a solid spot for traditional Mexican food, a rarity in Prague.
I ordered the enchiladas which were delicious. My boyfriend had the chicken quesadilla which he gave the stamp of approval also. If you’re sick of traditional Czeck food or just don’t like it (like me), check out Cantina and the neighboring restaurants.

Ein ganz tolles Mexikanisches Restaurant in einem ganz besonderen Ambiente. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und es gibt auch die Originale scharfe Soße. Sehr zu empfehlen!!!

We were lucky enough to get a table without a reservation. They were very full and were kind to let us use a reservation for an hour. I would recommend a reservation. The fajitas were the best I’ve had in Prague. Very close to my favorite from the States. The service was good and the ambiance was nice. I highly recommend it for good Mexican food.

Cantina is located a slight walk from the centre of town and is nearest to Legion Bridge. We ended up walking back into the town centre after the meal and it was quite a manageable stroll for us. When we arrived however the restaurant was packed and we ended up facing a very long wait for a tale or to take a seat at the bar. As I was famished we ended up choosing to sit at the bar and while it was a little cosy you ended up with a great view up and down the restaurant to see the décor and food coming out of the kitchen.
I went for the slow-​roasted beef taco in a blue corn soft taco shell. I have to say that words can barely describe how delicious this meal was but that it truly deserved the title of «the best Mexican you may ever have». To go with my taco I also ordered a tequila sunrise. The cocktail was nothing special but still well made.
The services was friendly but quick as when I was at Cantina the restaurant was packed. I would happily return however for another meal and either book a table or go when I have the time to wait for a table as it would be nice to have a little longer to enjoy the meal without having to sit up at the bar.

Stopped in for dinner with friends. We ate at the bar and the food was fantastic. I thought I was in the States with the quality of Mexican food being prepared. Good vibe too. I work nearby and plan to visit again soon

Great atmosphere and the decoration of the Cantina Mexicana seems really close to the reality of Mexico! I had a wonderful time with a kind waitress. The portions were pretty big and even though I wanted to finish my delicious plate of three enormous tacos, my belly was begging me to stop.
We went to eat there at 4 in the afternoon which of course uncommon but all the tables were reserved for the evening so I would suggest you call before going there for a lunch or a diner. I guess this place is a victim of its success, but I definitely understand why!

Wow! Amazing Mexican food!!! if you are in the area and are looking for some Mexican, this is definitely the place you are looking for! make sure to call and make a reservation… this place is great, so it’s almost always full! don’t miss it :)))

My fav place in Prague! Absolutely everything is great about this place. Amazing food, the best drinks. Open til late hour. Great interior. Usually super super busy. Love it

YES PLEASE!!! Oh food gods of Mexican cuisine, you have blessed me finally with your presence here in Prague. I while I like Las Adalitas. I love Catina. The enchiladas where amazing, the quesidilla, heavenly, the margarita, shear perfection. It was all so good I didn’t even mind having to sit at the bar to eat. Every thing was amazingly balanced between spicy and creamy. I am already jonesing for it again.

I’m a California kid, so naturally I love Mexican food. The chicken fajitas from Cantina were pretty good. Definitely a lot of food, I still had a few bites left on my plate. It was a cool vibe too. I didn’t feel rushed at all, which made it relaxing. Price was average, I paid about $ 12.00 for the fajitas. Service was ok. Server wasn’t the most outgoing but then again could just be a cultural difference. I’m used to outgoing servers who are looking to get a good tip. All in all, I would definitely go back.
*be sure to make a reservation! They gave us a 2 hour time slot for our table. More than enough time for a good dinner.

Walked in without a reservation and nabbed a seat at the bar without a problem. Barely finished my 1^st Caipirinha when Steak Fajtas arrived. Very tasty, though I don’t believe the meat was grilled. The veggies were actually the highlight of the dish being that the meat was in rather large chunks and had the firm resiliency of rump roast vs. the meaty, striated, flavorful taste of skirt or flank. The guac was also most likely of the bagged variety, but overall it was not at all unpleasant – and far better Mexican food you think you could ever get in the Czech Republic.
Caipirinhas were outstanding, too!

For me, Cantina definitely ranks among some of the best Mexican restaurants in Prague. The food is very authentic and tasty and so is the atmosphere. The only problem is the fact that the place is rather small and as such you always need a reservation.
Their chicken wings are absolutely delicious and definitely worth a try. Unfortunately, recently the service has worsened and the staff is not always as polite as it used to be and therefore I have decided to only give 3 stars. Maybe, this is cause by the demand and also the fact that many tourists come to the restaurant as well. Hopefully, this will change and Cantina will once again become the friendly, Mexican place with amazing atmosphere and delicious meals.

I found it via Unilocal and it was fine. Going there without a reservation might not be a good idea except if you are ok eating at the bar. The shrimp with beef in the Cantina Burrito is intresting but in a good way. Take care of the shrimp’s tail because not all of them are removed.

My friend brought me here on a recommendation from her family and I must say off the bat the food was almost on level with Las Adilitas for some excellent mexican food. However, the reason it got 3 stars was because the service was so rude and the kitchen messed our order not once but twice. It made me sad because after I tried to order a chicken quesadilla and the guy told me no he couldn’t, then tried to upsell me one with lots of crap I didn’t want in it for a lot more crowns. I simply was asking to add chicken to the existing cheese quesadilla as well as pay a bit more but only for chicken. To him this was «ridiculous» and he couldn’t just add chicken to a cheese quesadilla. I was only allowed to order the chicken one with tons of things on it as well that I didn’t want. Now to me this was bs customer service and clearly they target people that don’t speak fluent czech.
I also asked for tap water and of course he brings me botted… so this was all before our order was even put in. We also ordered nachos plain with salsa to start. We then get cheese nachos with no salsa. I order a plain cheese quesadilla and get salad and tomatoes and all this other stuff I asked to not have on my plate which I ended up throwing away. He eventually realized he messed everything I ordered and comes to our table telling us he is going to give us free salsa as long as we don;t complain (because he sucks at his job) so at this point I had already given up on this place. Too bad the nachos and REAL mexican cheese were close to heavenly otherwise I would have written this place off for good.

Absolutely amazing Mexican place in Ujezd with delicious food and drinks. The choice on the menu is big, they offer probably all possible Mexican meals and drinks you can think of. The prices are above average, but the taste and quality are worth it. The restaurant is usually full, so it’s good to have a reservation. The interior is worth checking, too. The service is nothing too special, but not bad either.

This is my Czech business partner’s favourite restaurant. I’ve been before, but not for almost 6 months. Yesterday’s visit really made my day and I wondered why I’d left it so long. Warm, vibrant and friendly, bereft of any trickery or pretension, Cantina delivers: great service, good food (the nachos are monumental for a starter and the chilli con carne is the best I’ve ever had), along with a glass of Cab Sav that hit the spot and suddenly my day was transformed. Always busy, even mid-​afternoon, you won’t be disappointed.
