Sometimes when eating out, you just want something that is quick, easy, cheap, and above all, good. Luckily, there are a couple of places in downtown Helena’s Last Chance Gulch that stand out.
Taco del Sol (101 North Last Chance Gulch / 406-443-3978) specializes in “Mission-style” Mexican food meaning that it is the best place in town to go for fish tacos and burritos with fresh ingredients. You can choose between corn and flour tortillas and there some good options on the menu for vegetarians and vegans. Most items are less than $5 bucks and there is free wi-fi as well.
Coney Island (325 North Last Chance Gulch / 406-443-9664) is a Helena institution and it serves the type of food that reminds one of youth. They make homemade soups, gyros, chicken strips, and even some Mexican food. However, their specialty and the best reason to visit Coney Island is the hot dogs. Two coney dogs with chili and the works is a meal that people of all ages can appreciate.
