Hands down best menudo, pozole and fresh bread in Albuquerque! I love watching people walk in with an empty pan, waiting for it to be filled for their family! Amazing !!!
Love love love there menudo NEVER a disappointment.
We got there 10 minutes to closing and they were still so kind and sold us a concha for our son who was really looking forward to a pastry. Super reasonably priced and let me tell you, that concha was the softest, most perfect concha I've ever had. So often they end up too dry--not so here. (Our son very generously let us each try a bite, but just one!)

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.
