I went to Karmadillos with a colliege and his wife right after we finished some work training. Karmadillos has very modern, triangular canvas strung up across the deck to keep customers cool. They also have tables outside with umbrellas. The restaurant is perched right on the side of the mountain so it gets a nice cool breeze too. This place never disappoints, especially if you like Southwestern food. They have a delicious Ghost Pepper salsa that will leave your mouth burning, but your heart yearning. The sauce is just hot enough to make you sweat, but has the perfect amount of smokey, savory flavor. This place is a must. Dont forget about Shrimp Tacos on Fridays!

Great food. Spectacular views. Very secluded and accessible by either a tall staircase or the steep Readers Alley with a few shallow steps. Not readily wheelchair accessible. Most of the seating is outdoors on patio. Be aware that they are closed on Sundays and Mondays as well as for about an hour between 2 & 3 PM to switch to dinner. Expect to pay a moderate ~$20 for two to eat here -- meals, sodas, and a shared appetizer. The salsa is incredibly good. The soda is a buck more than expected, but free endless refills. Staff is friendly and courteous.

I came based on all the good reviews. It was gross. My tacos were drenched in liquid and when my husband bit into his burrito, a river of runniness gushed out and he had to let it drain for a solid 60 seconds. We left a 20% tip before being told that we had to serve our own sodas. The staff was spacey and slow. They calculated our total incorrectly. There were 4-5 of them just standing around while one person slowly scooped ingredients into the taco. Really disappointed with our meal and the service.

Fridays are the best because of the seafood item. Priced right and something that is different than the main stream. Nice location, but a bit tricky to get to. Way up on the hill, so look up to find it. This is actually a great benefit when eating here as the view overlooks the city. Highly recommend!!!

Great and friendly staff and owner for every visit. Authentic Southwestern flavors and one of only a few locations in Helena to find a cold Shiner Bock beer. Definitely recommend visiting this place if you are Downtown. A great deck with a view when the weather is right.

Fantastic food, the pork tacos along with the chips and salsa made for a perfect dinner. They ran out of a few options such as chicken and a few beers, but everything was great. The food has a bit of a kick but leaves a pleasant burn.

Excellent little mexican food tucked away from the bustling streets. Its even positioned up the back hill a bit, but dont let that deter you. You get a great view of downtown Helena as you enjoy your meal on their front deck.

We like the food here, but the hours are constantly changing and we have trouble keeping up with it. Its a good Mexican place for something in between fast food and full-on sit down dining.

The food was great (nachos are so good! Toppings served beside chips instead of on them!) and we stayed on the patio to talk for a couple of hours to enjoy the view and summer breezes.

The food was good. It wasnt great like its hyped up to be. The customer service was decent. Its a bit over priced for what you get, the atmosphere and layout is a bit uncomfortable.

Great food and the atmosphere is even better! I am never disappointed. The green chili is delicious, and they have a great selection of beverages to compliment.

Best Southwestern food in Helena plus a staff that is always happy and friendly. I always recommend them when someone asks about getting some good food.

Guacamole is actually sour cream that resembles dog poop. Chicken quesadillas had very little chicken. Seems like a likely place to get food poisoning.

Fast service and yummy food! Loved the chips and salsa and shrimp taco (Fridays only)! Fun place to eat in Helena. Food may be a little spicy for kids.
