About Helen’s Bakery

Helen's Bakery is known for its delicious homemade tamales and posole. The tamales are a highlight, with a great balance of masa and shredded meat, particularly the pork version. A dozen costs around $34.50, but the satisfying and flavorful chile makes it worth the price. The menudo is also popular and highly praised for its freshness and flavor. Customers often recommend the desserts, which complement the spiciness of the menudo. The bakery has a quiet, unassuming vibe, and parking is easy with no lines. However, it now accepts only cash, and the selection of baked goods can be limited, with a small variety of pan dulce. Arriving early is advised for tamales, as they sell out quickly. Despite some issues with hours posted, the quality of food consistently impresses visitors. The front counter staff are friendly, and customers have received extra rolls of bread as a bonus. Overall, Helen's Bakery offers tasty tamales, menudo, and versatile bolillos that are perfect for various uses, making it a good spot to enjoy hearty, flavorful food.
