Great food. Kids burrito for $3 was a full size burrito. Probably the best deal. I had a veggie and beef tacos. The beer was okay but the veggie flavor were amazing. Nice outside seating area. Only a few tables inside. They did have a highchair outside already.

Best tamales I’ve ever had! and I’ve been to all 50 states and 57 countries. The weather and indoor atmosphere were perfect. The place is high on a hill so it has a cool view, too. Will be back for more. Check out their fun signage:

Karmadillos has one of the, if not the most unique location in Helena. Sitting right on the top corner of Reeder’s Alley, diners have a fantastic view of historic downtown and surrounding mountains. But, I wasn’t too impressed with the food. I ordered the special, which was some sort of mix of chicken, beef, pork, and buffalo on a bed of rice and topped with salsas. Flavor was okay, but the rice was extremely under cooked. There was a bottle on the table with a warning label on it, letting the consumer know that the contents are not ketchup. Okay, it must be salsa/hot sauce then? I wish they would have warned me about the heat level instead. That stuff must be made with ghost peppers or something, because it was too intense for me.

I liked this place overall. I tried the enchiladas and the shrimp burrito. Both were good. They serve some Mexican beers along with some local brews.

Food was mediocre and portions are very small. Will not be returning. I hate spending $60 to feed my family and my boys 15 & 11 are still hungry. We are not a fat family.

A surprise. Very good food, prepared well. Despite Google, it does have dine in. Even with the brewery not open it has an excellent clientele. My favorite remains the smothered burrito and the green chili pork soup. We have not been back enough to try the bowls. I am not a big fan of street tacos, but their tacos are average. Good, but nothing really special. Both their red and green sauce are very good. They have earned their business. It is not cheap by any means, but it is tasty so we return often.

Just outside Last Chance Gulch. 5 min by foot. The nachos were excellent.

I love going here, it really never disappoints. Actually that’s a lie, one time they were out of salad and so I couldn’t eat their taco salad, it was a sad day. That being said, I had their delicious enchiladas with the red sauce. I’ve never ventured to try anything else than their chicken but I’ve never heard anyone complain over their meal. I highly recommend their wine margarita, with a salted rim of course. The beans they have are incredible and in all honesty I could eat those alone for a meal, so yummy. This place is small so winter months it can be crammed. If you can make it on a warmer day then do so and make use of their outdoor seating. They even have shade so you don’t get a sunburn. The owner is there a lot and he’s a super guy, always making rounds to see if everyone is satisfied with their meal. Love this place.
