Helen's Bakery

The folks at Helen's Bakery are delightful to work with, they are extremely accommodating, courteous, well stocked with items you may need.Tobias Handyman

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...

Consistent quality. I wasn't much for their tacos, but they always deliver with their menudo/posole. Great customer service.

Stopped in to check out the baked goods. However, there were none to be seen. I think they only actually bake bread as a side to their food items. The bread is very good! It is very simple decor inside and a very short and limited menu that is straight to the point. Check pictures attached. I ordered the large Pozole and it was very good. Be aware they serve bone with the meat which you can choose to pull off or just eat off the bone. Also, it is very greasy but this is how it is sometimes. Regardless, it is very tasty. The tamale was also very good and would highly recommend. It had a bit of spice to it but a large amount of meat inside. Overall, I say yes come here if you are looking for a plain menu but tasty food. Remember, there are no pastries here.

The best thing I ordered here were the tamales. The tamales are delicious and a great balance of masa and shredded meat (pork). A dozen is about $34.50 but it's worth it. Very filling and the chile is what makes it. The meat is delicious and the red Chile is perfect but not too hot. I have had their Menudo before and it's great. I used to love their baked goods but they stopped selling those. If your looking to order tamales, get there early. They sell out quickly.

Menudo menudo menudo. Best in town by far! Comes in a giant bowl with the right bread that goes with it. Be sure to bring cash and if its really what you want you can bring a pot that they will fill up for you. They will charge per scoop but we worth it. It does get pretty busy on a Sunday but everyone needs their menudo fix.

Don't judge the appearance of the place. It's not fancy but let me tell you, the pastries, the food will make up for anything lacking in aesthetics. Let's starts with the empanadas. Yummy jam inside a crumbly pastry..... simply too delicious to describe. Just try it! Menudo- don't order the large bowl unless you're starving..... lots of menudo!!!! - the red chili powder on the table: proceed with caution to add a tiny dash to your menudo. Flaming HOT! - you've got to try the menudo. So far, best in town!!!!!

The food is alright every time we go and they try to convince us to get larger sizes because of how the prices are marketed,we tried the champurrado and I hate to say it's the worst we've ever had and we would probably do a better job at home! The staff are just plain about your experience don't really get phased by anything. The decor is very authentic in the Mexican culture so I will give them that.

Llegue a las 8.20am pedi 22 piezas de pan blanco. Me dijeron que en 25 minutos estan listos. Ya eran las 9.10am y todabia no los tenina listo. Pedi un menudo para comer ahi mientras esperaba el pan tambien se les olvido llevarlo a la mesa. Atendieron a mas gente despies de mi. Cuando fui a preguntar por mi orden a las 9.10 las dos mocosas que atienden dsndome actitud que yo no abia ouesto orden del pan que apenas asi unos minutos les di mi ticket y ellas abian perdido mi orden y todabia enoajadas y de mal carientas con uno me dieron el pan todo crudo aparte me cobraron 22 piezas de pan y solo me pusier9n en bolsas 20 piezas de pan. Tienen muy mal servicio no saven atender a la gente la mocosa nomas agarra ordenes y no se fija lo que hace pero si esta a Risa y Risa en la cosina y perdiendo el tiempo. Ponganse a trabajar que para eso las tienen ahi no para que esten de groceras con la gente. Y la dueña todabia ve que la hija esta siendo grocersa y ella le sigue tal cual las mocosas lo aprendieron de alla. Nunca mas vuelvo a ese lugar y nunca lo becomendaria.

I went in for pan dulce but they only had a few conchas on a table for sale. I had to buy other pan dulces for a group so I can't attest to their taste but they were fresh. They only take cash. My only qualm is that it's called a bakery but there weren't many baked goods. I will be back to try the posole.
