... and what about that ever elusive super Mexican restaurant?

Prague is not exactly known for its abundance of South of the Border cuisine. Or, so you thought. A nice Mex joint, the Barracuda Cafe is on Krymska 2, about four blocks from Namesti Miru.

Probably the most authentic Mexican food in Prague, this place also boasts a very wallet friendly menu. Most of the dishes are under 100 Kc and come in ample proportions.

The burritos and the fajitas are righteous enough to make your taste buds do the mambo, and are highly recommended. Its basement level, softly lit dining area offers the perfect somber ambience for its spicy dishes.

While the Barracuda prepares its own excellent house salsa, some of the dishes come with some non-mexicky fixings. Iceberg lettuce, for example, may be difficult to come by in Prague, but cabbage ain't, so don't fret, the food still tastes superb. And while it may not taste exactly like it was prepared in ol' Tijuana, it's probably a lot safer for your bowels.
