Alebrijes, Cocina Mexicana (Malá Strana)

We loved this place. Food was thoughtfully prepared with quality ingredients. Service great. One person stood out: Reinita (probably not spelling it right) but she knows who she is! We found out we had a common love for Antigua Guatemala! This place was very busy on the night we were there. Most tables were reserved, which tells you that it is very popular with a young crowd, mostly locals. The food used the freshest ingredients. The dishes we had really had a nice spice kick in them. Rather pleasantly surprised given the mild flavors of Czech cuisine. I had enchiladas verde and loved them. Whatever my spouse had she loved it too. She is celiac, so nice to have most dishes gluten free naturally. The classic margarita was exactly what you’d expect and all was very reasonably priced. One thing to remember, you may see some reviews from “Joe” in Arizona or “Dufus” from Texas talk about how they know all about Mexican food and make claims about authentic or not. Keep in mind, every area of Mexico has vastly different regional cuisine. So, if the food is prepared by a Mexican, using quality Mexican ingredients, and the food has great flavors, then it’s good Mexican food! Try this place, I think you’ll enjoy it! We did!

Alebrijes, Cocina Mexicana in Malá Strana has a super cute vibe that instantly sets a positive tone. The guacamole and salsas were downright delicious, packing a punch of authentic Mexican flavors. While the tacos were okay, the pork was a tad on the dry side. Nevertheless, the staff's friendliness added a welcoming touch, and the fact that they're gluten-free is a definite plus. It is a charming spot for some tasty Mexican bites with a few hits and misses.
