Agave: This sleek restaurant helmed by a Southern Californian chef redefines Mexican fine dining. Think Baja-style fish tacos with chipotle aioli or mole poblano-braised duck tacos. It’s pure magic for tacos lovers!
Cantina: A Prague institution, Cantina is a festive fiesta come to life. Lively music, generously portioned enchiladas, and margaritas served in giant sombreros transport you straight to south-of-the-border bliss.
Las Adelitas: This Tex-Mex chain offers a familiar and comforting Mexican experience. Their guacamole is chunky and fresh, the fajitas sizzle with juicy goodness, and the margaritas are always on point.

Their tlayudas (giant tlayudas topped with meats, cheeses, and veggies) are a must-try. I love Oaxacan cuisine so for sure give this place a try!
