6 Best Mexican Restaurants near Helotes

“LOVEEED the elote, they don’t skimp out on the condiments added. Everything was hot and tasted great! I never write reviews but once I had my first bite, I just had to share. We got beef empanadas, elote w/ Cheetos, churros, and agua de Jamaica. Everything came out better than expected and made our afternoon snack trip a delight.“

“There were 10 of us in our party and the waiter was outstanding. We never had to ask for refills and he made sure everything was fine-even though they were very busy. The food was excellent and we will definitely be back. On the way out they have pastry goods for sale and we got some apple empanadas and a couple of other items to eat later. They were delicious!“

“Ordered the barbacoa taco and the Bubba taco which is carne guisada with potatoes and cheese. The food was good and you can taste that the tortillas are homemade. You can actually see them doing in through the window. The service was quick and cashier was helpful and nice. As you enter, this place was a former Bubba Js and they even added his name into the tacos. They had so much business but the ambience was casual.“

“We have been going to Rio Barbacoa for at least the last three years. We were surprised to find it. It is the cleanest Molino that I have ever been in. The Barbacoa is truly all meat you will rarely find any kind of fatty chunks in there, Barbacoa, I also do not find it to be greasy, but it is not dry. It has a good flavor Before Covid the prices were fantastic for a number one combinations special however, since Covid the prices have increased just as they have everywhere else I still think it's worth the price the food is delicious it is always quick and did I say it was clean? It really is, the service has always been great exactly what you are looking for if you need a weekend fix of your Barbacoa and big red. they do not have a drive-through and it is a very small parking lot, but it is quick in and out even if there is a line.“

“First time here. Very pleasant experience. Food was excellent, service was excellent, atmosphere was amazing (sat outside). Have nothing bad to say about this place, I very highly recommend checking them out, we'll definitely be going back soon to try their fajitas!"“

“You are missing out, if your don’t swing in, grab a seat and order up some of the best Tex-Mex food on this side of the Heaven. The Parillada and the Molcajete are some of the most sumptuous meals you will find. Huge portions and great prices. A terrific value for cost and quality.“
