"As someone who lived in Texas for 14 years, I haven 't found real Mexican food in Montana. Until now! I got the burrito with pollo ranchero (chicken) and omg this is what I have been missing! Perfectly cooked chicken, pico, pinto beans and salsa. Plus some chipotle hot sauce. It was amazingly flavored and REAL. Very reasonably priced at $6, Mexican shouldn 't be a luxury or bland. This burrito here is true perfection!"

Not many days in November do you get to eat the best authentic Mexican in Montana outside in the sun!

This is one of those magical little hole-in-the-wall places. The food is phenomenal and authentic and the prices are more than fair. I'm glad I stopped by to see what the buzz was about! View menu

Great walk up taquria. Erika is great and provides amazing authentic food. Street tacos are best in helena, burritos are also amazing. My girlfriend also.loves the taco salads. One of the best in the state. Can not go wrong with Erika.

This place is top notch Mexican food at its finest. Using fresh ingredients and classic flavor combinations, every meal is satisfying. The street tacos are my favorite, with many fresh toppings to add. And this place is serious bang for the buck with generous portions. View menu

This is my favorite quick service Mexican restaurant in Helena! Their chips come with extra seasonings that put them a step above the rest, and every entrée I've tasted has been delicious. Be sure to follow them on FB as well!! During weather related closures, they offer family sized meal pickups that are very reasonably priced.

Line was long for lunch on a Monday but well worth the wait. Visiting from out of state- food was excellent and was a good portion to have leftovers. Got the chicken enchiladas- mine did not need hot sauce- also had the tacos Al pastor which was yummy. Was able to find parking- small parking lot but great to get food to go or eat outdoors at the picnic table if open. Prices were $10-15 for what we got

"Ok, so I read a LOT of the reviews, and we decided to stop here anyway, because sometimes folks are having a bad day, or there is some minor miscommunication, or something, and that results in a poor rating or review.Here is the big HOWEVER first off, a note to management; your waitresses are the face of your business if you can't afford to hire someone whom you feel represents you properly, you would be wise to then represent yourself, otherwise, you are going to CONTINUE getting bad reviews based on poor customer service. Such was the case today. Your waitress ignored my husband repeatedly through several steps of acknowledging, ordering, collecting and serving, and paying. Dear management, that is ALL of the steps of waitressing......you may find your business boosted should you find another waitress.Secondly; in order to succeed, you need to have at LEAST 2 of the five necessities of success in a restaurant working in your business that would beAtmosphere you get a 10, it's greatService 2, it's not great at all, it's awfulPrice 5, it's only mediocreQuantity 3, below averageQuality 2, also far below averageEven if the service was only mediocre, and you were higher on any of the other areas, it would be better.Anyway, we were just passing through on our way from Great Falls back to Idaho Falls, and thought this would be a fun place to stop, but I'm sorry to say, we won't be coming here again."
