The whole order was lousy. I was very specific about wanting onions, cilantro, and verde sauce with my pork tacos. They gave me lettuce, tomato, and sour cream instead. Asked for ground beef chimichanga, got steak. The to go order looked like they tossed it around and shook it up before they gave it to us. No flavor at all. I have had better food at Taco Bell and I don't even like Taco Bell. read more

I have been to this place twice once in march and yesterday. It is some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten!! I wish this restaurant was in my town!! Every time I go to Helen this is the place I want to eat....there is 2 (same place) and I have eaten at both but this is the better one (located near dollar general)....my only complaint is there tea is not "sweet tea", it needs some sugar!! Don't miss out on this place if you like Mexican food!! read more

Waited an hr just for the food to come out. We avoided a different restaurant bc of the 1hr wait to be seated, which would have probably been faster. When we asked the waitress all she did was "sigh". No apology or explanation, and only checked on us once the whole time we were waiting. Food was not worth the wait. First and last time... read more

The staff was very nice but the food was not the best. There was no seasoning on the tacos, they messed up on our order twice, and they forgot the poblano pepper for my chili relleno. read more

The food was terrible. The chips tasted like they were out of a bag. The salsa was tomatoes only. Our food was not good. Beans were dry.. As was the fajita s that i had. The waitress was loud and didn't check on us enough. Could not finish food. Will not be back. read more

My friends, my husband and I went this place for dinner. I ordered beef tacos, and it was good. However, I gave them two stars because their rest room was super nasty and the toilet paper was everywhere. Moreover, someone left their thing and they didn't flash. I won't recommend this place to other people. read more

I have been to many Mexican restaurants in my life but this restaurant is by far the GREATEST I have ever been to! My family and I visited the restaurant this past summer and the experience was truly amazing! Having worked in the restaurant industry myself I understand how difficult it is to manage a busy shift and this place was poppin' but the entire staff was still friendly and delightful. While it was a little wait for our food our waitress was diligent and extremely helpful, she refilled our drinks, cracked some jokes, and kept our chip basket full. When we got the food it was so tasty and flavorful, I had the best grilled chicken quesadilla EVER! In all, our visit was fantastic, everyone left fat and happy! read more

Excellent Food loved everything. Personally I loved the chicken soup and the al pastor taco. Great attention. I highly recommend this place in any perspective. read more

Good food, friendly staff. We came in late to the area from traveling and thank goodness this place was open. They welcomed us and food came out fast. Good beer too. Churros were delicious! read more

We arrived and 6 ft spacing. Got the chips and salsa, may I say WOW great salsa very flavorful! The meal was all good! Our server was the so nice and answered questions from my granddaughter. 5 stars read more

Service was good and fast. Drinks we're tasty, but the food was just ok. Taste was a little bland not much flavor.

Worst Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Drink was good but food was disgusting burrito had ground beef taco was just ground beef and hard shel taco and chile rellenos was just ground beef and chili with crazy amount of cheese . It is no way and shape authentic I would know I am married to a Mexican. Ground beef glore I would not recommend it at all especially if you are looking for authentic Mexican food. read more

Food was subpar. Salsa is very bland and lackluster. Basically just canned, puréed tomato. Guac was the same. Spinach quesadilla was mediocre - chicken soup was decent, but not outstanding. read more

We stopped at La Cabana, thinking you can't mess up Mexican food. We have not had good food many other places in Helen with the exception of Hofers. Anyway, the chili verde looked like water with pepper seeds and pieces of meet. Taste was awful. The Vallarta special was delivered partially. They forgot to include the quesadilla. Although that may have been good as that was the only hot plate when I inquired and received the missing item. The salsa tastes like stewed tomatoes and the margaritas were 99.9% alcohol free. In short very disappointing and I would not recommend dining here. I would like to rate the restaurant zero stars, but Yelp requires a minimum of one. read more

While this is your normal Mexican restaurant menu. The food is very good, the service is exceptional and the dining area is spotless! It is very affordable and worth the wait! read more

Our little foursome showed up there this Friday night with no reservation and even though they were slammed, we got the table of our choice within 10 minutes. All in all, the service was a little slow and I never did get the hot sauce I kept asking for (-1) but the food met the classic cheap Mexican standard. They were even happy to let me order off the menu, to accommodate my non meat eating ways. The drinks were fantastic. They serve what I like to call, "sneaky margaritas" as they're so smooth you doubt the bartender put any tequila in it, but when you stand up you quickly realize he did. :) I'd definitely return to La Cabana the next time I want Mexican in a Bavarian setting. ;) read more

This place is infested with flies. The staff had to put candles to scare the flies away. The food takes a very long time to come out, and it's NOT worth it. The only good thing are the chips. Even the quesadillas were soggy, and they are the easiest thing to make. This place is just not it and you should steer away. :) read more

Service was outstanding. Very friendly and will prepare food however you wish! The portions are very generous and the food is tasty. Its pretty authentic especially for this little Alpine town. read more

I think it was supposed to be Mexican food, but I don't think that's what it tasted like. It may have been Betty Crocker's idea of Mexican food, but I didn't enjoy it. All the food in Helen was relatively tasteless and blah. The patio was a good people watching spot. read more

Been there a few times and while you don't want to eat Mexican food in a German town but if you do not want to eat the regular fast food, then the best option is La Cabana. The food is as authentic as it can get. The grilled fish is highly recommended. read more

Longest wait of my life for the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. It's hard to mess up Mexican food, but this place did.. In more ways than one. Not enough staff, we had to flag down our waiter to even put in our order, cold cheese dip.. The list could go on and on. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, ever. read more

So we came to town late and needed a place to feed two adults and two toddlers. We were told this place was great and figured we'd give it a try. The staff was very friendly and they immediately brought us chips and salsa. The kids ate cheese quesadillas (freaking amazing,) my other half got the el cabana special and I got the el barco. The el cabana was delicious and huge. The el barco to me was superior. Steak, chicken, and shrimp in a yummy cheese sauce. Oh and they have a game room and TVs. I only wish they had drink specials but all of their drinks were very reasonable. I would recommend this to anyone with taste buds. read more

Everytime we eat here wether inside or out we have a great experience. Even on a busy day the customer service was good and the food was on point. Wish they had a bigger location but no complaints really. And also during season they have live music on the patio. Awesome! read more

Great service, great prices and good food. The food could be a little spicier for my tastes, but it's still fresh and great quality. Can't say enough about how nice and attentive the whole staff was. Not a tourist trap at all. read more

Delicious food at a great price and great service. Visited Helen for one day and wasn't in the mood for strong food, so we decided to have a chicken soup and this was the only place I could find that was serving chicken soup. Many of the "German" places around here serve you a hot dog and call it German food.They gave my party of two, free chips and salsa as an appetizer and the "small lunch" soup was so huge that we couldn't finish them. The soup was amazing, fresh, like homemade, and the best part is that it's so inexpensive. The place has normal prices, great food and awesome service. They didn't add the ingredients I don't like into the soup. Then I ordered a soup to go and they gave me a pack of free chips and salsa as well. They were very attentive and even gave my mom more chicken broth for her soup and took care of us very well. read more

Our server was great!! ( I didn't get his name unfortunately ) but our food came out in less than 15 minutes & it tasted great!!

We came here during our 20th anniversary trip. The first thing I noticed is that the stairs leading up to the entrance were like trying to scale Everest or Kilimanjaro (I'm sure there was an alternate entrance for the elderly or disabled). There was a sign on the door that stated the floor was slippery when wet (it happened to be a rainy day when we went)...slippery is not the word I would have used....slicker than elephant snot would have been more appropriate...even the servers were slipping and sliding. The food was descent not great and the service was pretty good. The one big disappointment I had was in the stuffed poblano pepper...it was really small, not very stuffed, and lacked that flavor and consistency I have come to know with other restaurants. So if you like mountain climbing and ice skating servers this is the place for you! read more

Food: Was awesome, pretty hard to mess up Mexican food. Wife and I went and got the Cana special along with Carne Asada, both phenomenal. Customer Service: Also very good. Greeted immediately upon entering and given chips/salsa the moment we sat down. Employees were very friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere: Left something to be desired. The air conditioning was relatively none existent and saw few bug on the walls. Also noticed a fly strip hanging from the wall which seemed a bit odd. All things a side it was a great American style Mexican food and a nice break from the traditional Helen food read more

Why call a place mexican when clearly the place is run by Americans and the dishes aren't even mexican. It's all american plates. Super lame! read more

La cabana was a good choice for our last meal in "non foodie" purgatory. It's typical Mexican fare with reasonable prices. We both opted for safe choices #1 on the combo section which was one taco, 2 enchiladas, with rice and beans. Albeit the salsa was a bit watery and could have used more spice. However, the meal was filling and satisfying. The staff was friendly and very attentive to my to go orders. I am quite tempted to open up a restaurant here to give visitors better food options in Helen. read more

Food was great! Margaritas were tasty. The owner and family were very friendly. If you want Mexican food right in Helen, this is your place. read more

pretty good Mexican with an outdoor patio. The waiters were slow and could care less about 'patronage', but if you want some outdoor Mexican in Helen - here's the place to get it read more

Inexpensive large portions of Mexican food. Great salsa! Sit in or out. Inside one room has very festive fun paintings that add a lot to the atmosphere. Nice folks and good food. In crowded Helen its good to have standbys where you can park and get a table pretty quickly with tons of food. One tip the sides are regular portions while the entrees have rice and bean platters with them. read more

Service was great and people were kind. Food was good and fairly priced. Inside environment wasn't the most clean and quite cluttered, but the food and service makes up for any downfalls. Would return if in the area and desired mexican food. read more

The food was average but the service was excellent. Prices are good and the beer selection is quite good.

Bad service by a long shot. 40 minute wait in the kitchen, waitress hardly asked if we needed anything. I couldn't tell who worked at the place between the customers because there was absolutely no kind of uniform, a simple tee shirt with the name on it would work. No one seemed to care. Took forever to be acknowledged when trying to be seated. Self seating would work great at this place and self serve because they obviously can't do it read more

Food was ok, but portions were pretty crappy. The decor, paint, and ceilings are in major need of repairs.

Went with my family of 7 and we gar a great experience. We were greeted warmly by the waitress and owner. The owner even served some of our drinks and offered us cafe con leche before we left for the night. The food really was amazing and portions were large. We will definitely return! read more

Portions are large! I had a half order of Texas Nachos & had plenty. My husband order chicken fajitas & had more than he could eat. The Mexican Chunky Guacamole was very good with plenty to share. The wait staff work together to keep your drinks filled & make sure you have everything you need while being their guest. The restaurant is upstairs at the Edelweiss Strasse location. read more

It was good ! Best chunky guacamole I've had ! Service was wonderful and the waitress was really sweet and attentive. Never had an empty glass and the service was better than a lot of the other restaurants in town. Price was very reasonable read more
