    Heard about this place from friends who rave about it. Apparently a yummy (and cheap!) Mexican…read moreplace - maybe even the best in Prague. I finally went today (with the above mentioned friends) - couldn't wait, excited to eat some of my most favorite food - tacos. Sadly I was disappointed - it wasn't that the food wasn't tasty. But I guess Czechs like to "fool" people with their ads - we got 2 tacos + 1 free chicken taco. And they LITERALLY split the two tacos in 3 and added an extra tortilla. I mean really? I have never seen such an empty taco ‍ If you are willing to only give 2 tacos for the price of 2 tacos, give me those two and don't sugar coat it with some "almost imaginary" 3rd taco (cause yeah I got that 3rd TORTILLA for free ). I mean who treats their customers like this? Naturally we complained and politely asked if this is really all the chicken we'll get (the tacos we got were literally half empty). But we were told that's how they do it. They put less meat in each individual taco if there's 3 tacos. I am not gonna give up on this place though so I think I will give it a second try because there's not many good Mexican places in Prague. But that's I guess the only reason I'm gonna try again I will keep you posted! PS: thumbs up for the great variety of Mexican products though!

    Parking was impossible. Finding this place was off and in a hidden walkway…read more Pros Very hip and cool atmosphere, great for drinks with friends. Cons the tacos were not at all tasty and far from authentic Mexican tacos. Good portions. Another thing that was shocking is I drove here basically for the tapitio that I can't find anywhere in Praha, only to find that it was THREE YEARS OLD!! They were selling it for a discounted price. The sauce itself was literally black. I could not believe that. I will give this another try in another life time. Ha ha.

    Blue Fjord - Seafood platter. We chose the fish from the seafood counter, which were then grilled for us along with our order of veggies.

    Almost let this little gem slip through my fingers while on my European trip with the brother. We…read morewere strolling through Old Town when we stumbled into this spot. No signs yelling for your attention. Just a quiet confidence. Like it knew it was worth your time. You walk in and are met with fresh seafood. A variety of fish, shrimp, and other sea bugs. Some with eyes staring directly into your soul. The kind of display that makes you pause and say, "Right then, let's get weird." Anytime I'm with my brother, you know the one. Tastebuds of a 10-year-old but the wallet of a CEO. He's a hard guy to impress. He'll spend 80 quid on a plate and still ask if they have chicken tenders. He says things like "complex flavor profile" then washes it down with a Diet Coke. I only managed a photo of the scallop before it disappeared into my stomach. Cooked to perfection. Sweet glaze on top. Delicate. Balanced. Honestly one of the better things I ate on the entire trip. What stood out most was the chef's style. No two plates looked the same. Each one had its own story. You could tell someone cared back there. After I cleaned my plate, the waitress came over. She had a mouth on her that would make a sailor blush, but somehow it worked. She gave my brother a hard time for not finishing his shrimp. Proper dressing down. Someone had to say it. I admired her for holding us traveling lads to a local standard. Bit pricey, sure. But you're not at some tourist trap. You're eating seafood hand-picked by Neptune himself. As they say, when in Rome. Or in this case, Prague.

Picked out several kinds of seafood, which was grilled for us and brought to our table. Excellent. Also had grilled vegetables which were very good. The white Czech wines we had with our dinner were very good. SERVICE: 4.5. The people working here function as a team, and we were pleased how well they took care of us. AMBIANCE: 3.5. Dined in, at table in back. These tables are located beside clean water tanks containing attractive sea creatures.
