Idk if the food is good or not, we went in ordered and were waiting for food, then we seen a huge roach in the window on the inside. We just left. If theres one roach especially visible, theres lots. Probably crawling all over the cups and dishes who knows.

While I would have LOVED to have dined here, alas my ol’ high school buddy is a tenderfoot, and I usually steer clear of spicy options for his sake. But he certainly has no problem with their amazing Bolillos. They are far more dense then you may be used to, but are versatile; we’ve made garlic bread for an Italian din-din, toasted it to make breadcrumbs for meatballs, and paired them with amazing Tulley’s deli meat. All deliciously toothsome. Front counter gal was cool, and while we ordered 6 rolls, when we opened the bag at home we had 10. A very nice bonus from her. Look past the appearance of this joint, and grab some of these beauties. Can’t go wrong…

I did my usual search when moving to a new city, “best menudo in X”. This seemed to be the overwhelming winner in terms of mentions, and Helen’s Bakery did not disappoint. The menudo was top notch, and even if it hadn’t been, I think their fresh baked bolillos, would have saved it anyway. Their menu is not big and their place is not flashy(though it does have a really cute charm to it), but their food is top notch, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s all that really matters.

Helen’s bakery closes at 4pm
At 2pm they were mopping the entire floor. I find this extremely rude — our menudo tested like pinesol and Clorox.
We felt rushed out of the establishment. The atmosphere sucked!

Okay, I’m tired of seeing this place deteriorate more and more year after year. After Decades of me driving by this place, I asked myself why do they never spend an extra dollar on updating their signage at all? They never spend anything on their Landscaping either, just a bunch of dead trees in front. And not only this but inside in the summertime is unbearable. For God’s sake, it’s a bakery and you don’t even provide your workers with air conditioning? You’re still using swamp coolers in there? Stop being stingy and invest a little something back into your business. Have a little pride. Stop being “codos”! Lol
As for the food, the bread is decent but I resorted to other bakeries like Eldorado or El Super just because these people don’t even care to keep flies off of the bread they just trap them inside the showcasings.

I go for the tamales but I’ve heard that the menudo and posole always sell out because of how good they are!

I love the quality of food here!! I always get the menudo on weekends. It’s delicious, fresh, and I highly recommend eating here or ordering it togo. Parking lot has no lines, but you’ll get the vibe of how to park. This place switched to Cash Only though. I also recommend the desserts, it compliments the spiciness of the menudo

One of the best places to get Menudo and their Pan Blanco is superior to other bakeries in Albuquerque.
