One night my girl and I were trying to decide what to eat. Of course, she ignored all my suggestions—but she did recommend Helena’s Mexican Restaurant. When we got there, the place was packed, so we decided to order to go.
Even with the crowd, the host staff was busy but very attentive. This spot definitely feels like a great place for larger groups. While we waited, we grabbed drinks—strong pours—and I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
I ordered the Camarones a la Diabla, around $24, and my girl got three tacos, which were priced perfectly. The shrimp were very flavorful, no doubt about it, but the portion size was a little underwhelming for the price. If I’m paying $24, I expect more on the plate.
That said—my girl’s tacos were freaking incredible.
I’d definitely go back, but next time I’m getting the tacos.

Wow! Hidden gem indeed. The mole is the best I’ve had, just the right amount of spice and not too much chocolate. Salsa verde is superb! Will definitely return! Update on my first review. The mushroom taco is heavenly!

The food was so good and the service was really spectacular. Very friendly and prompt. The atmosphere was relaxed and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. Highly recommend if you want some good Mexican food. I got the steak fajitas. We also had margaritas that were yummy and not basic. The house Salsa is yummy too.

Mouth-watering!!
Found this place while working in the area and decided to give it a try. I feel like I found a hidden gem! Everything was amazing from the staff to the food, the service and the atmosphere. The food was flavorful. Order 3 tacos and had to order one more because of how good they were. Definitely coming back. (Picture shows the last taco I ordered lol)

This place is super clean! I have been there twice now and the service is friendly and fast both times. I love their Carne Asada! But the shrimp taco is my favorite thing on the menu! The quesadilla is super cheesy. They make their owes salsa/hot sauce and they are all very good. I like their hottest red or their hottest red mixed with the green. Last time we where there the frijoles negros and the Al Pastor taco were approaching the salty side though and we are not big fans of their chips. We will be back!

We really enjoyed this place. We had tacos, queso, and fajitas. All were very good. Prices were reasonable. Spicy margarita was fantastic. Service was good. I would definitely recommend this place.

Delicious guac and salsa. You can tell the guac was hand made with care.
Great atmosphere and decor. Food was delicious and filling, tacos had plenty of meat and were flavor bombs.
Love the beers they have on draft available in 22oz.
My wife have been looking for a good Mexican place and this is it!

Everything was good at Helena’s! Every dish was flavorful, and the tastes didn’t clash. My wife had the birria tacos with the beans, I had the chicken quesadilla, and my daughter had chicken tenders. The tenders didn’t need any sauce. The pitcher of margarita complimented everything, and even the jalapeños in my margarita was on point! Definitely worth the visit, and we may even come back just to go there! Excellent food and service.

This place was really clean. Food was good. Really friendly service. Tres Leches is really good with a unique coconut topping. Everything was also fresh and homemade.

I’ve been looking for a great taco spot in this area and have finally found it at Helena’s! The service is absolutely superb. Our waiter was super attentive and friendly, but what really pushed it over the top was people who weren’t assigned to our table still went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. My favorite tacos are the shrimp and fish. The food is as great as the service. Love this place and will definitely be back.
