El Sabor de Jalisco — Restaurant in Helena

Our new Mexican place in town was pretty darn tasty! It's set up like a counter where you order and pay up front, then they bring you your food, so no complimentary chips and salsa, which was interesting to me as they have a salsa bar a la a salad bar, but I guess that's for general salsa use. I docked it a star for atmosphere, as it's kind of bare and austere in there now, and they need to fix the front door as it slams shut whenever opened, but they're still relatively new and those things will get sorted out. But the staff is really nice and I got my food right away, and it was great! They don't "grind" the beef... I can't explain it. It's kind of like a combination of grinding and chopping. In any case, that doesn't matter! It's still yummy. I got nachos and the chimichanga plate. The nachos had a good ratio of ingredients, not too heavy on the chips or light on the beef, and the chimichanga was probably the best I've had. FULL of meat, it was glorious 😋! I will definitely be back. I see they serve breakfast as well, so I want to try that. But I definitely recommend it.

The chicken was excellent, the beef, however, was kind of fatty. I pulled a large piece out of one of the taquitos. It was as big as my pinkie. I complained, they said sorry, that was it. Lame. They also drowned the taquitos in cotija cheese. I like some , but hey went overboard. Sopes were great, like always. Food came out fast as we were the...

I have loved this place for a very long time but a recent change has left a bad taste in my mouth, the card usage fee.

The food here is awesome. They offer a pretty wide array of food and the flavor is on point. It's a pretty typical Mexican restaurant inside, and the service is what you expect. The reason my overall rating is 2 stars and my service rating is 1 start comes down to a new change, the card usage fee. On a $37 order I had an upcharge of $7! That's 19% just to use a card, meaning they are making money ok just card usage fees alone. The fee is predatory and will definitely have me questioning if coming back is...
