South of the Border


Last night I met some friends for dinner. Two are from Texas and one from California, so when the idea of Mexican came up for dinner I thought, "This restaurant had better be good!" AND boy, was it!

We headed to a little place in Vinohrady (Prague 2) called Las Adelitas. My first clue of its authenticity was when I asked in Czech for a table for four, the waiter said he could hear the American in my accent and responded in English. He hails from Tijuana, Mexico as does the rest of the staff and cooks. This was a good sign.

We ordered a large plate of nachos to share around. The waiter was more than willing to make the nachos to order, to add and subtract ingredients and bring sauces on the side. Everything was delicious and was authentic enough to get applause from the Texans and Californian alike. We also had the house margarita. That little frozen drink packed a punch. Delicious and certainly had its money's worth of tequila.

Viva Mexico!! Viva Las Adelitas!!

Is this a new place? Sounds like fun - a bit of home in Vinohrady!

I forgot to write MAKE A RESERVATION. This place is popping and you'll be lucky to get a seat if you don't plan ahead.
