La Colina- always a great time! Seriously the best spot in town! Every time I go, I LEAVE WITH A SMILE. The place has such a fun chill vibe. Perfect for starting off or spending your night. But the real MVP is CAMILO. THE BARTENDER. He is not only amazing at what he does, but his drinks are always on point and he is super friendly and makes you feel as you’ve known him forever. Camilla brings great energy and he always remembers What you like if you’re going to La Helena make sure to grab a drink from him. You won’t be disappointed!!

This is a great place to have drinks. The atmosphere is very nice and welcoming. The decor in the outside seating area is beautiful at night. The food here is good, pretty standard for your typical Mexican restaurant. I had better, not saying it’s bad, just saying it could be better. You must try the margarita flight, it’s definitely worth it. I would come back and try it again.

Five Stars! We recently hosted our youngest daughter’s college graduation celebration at La Colina Mexican Cantina, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! The food was absolutely amazing—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was a hit. The margaritas were to die for, perfectly crafted and refreshing, honestly some of the best we’ve ever had! But what truly made the evening shine was the incredible service. From the warm welcome to the seamless coordination, everything was handled with genuine care and professionalism. Andrea, the manager, was simply outstanding. She went above and beyond in every possible way—thoughtful, attentive, and so kind. She made us feel like family and ensured every detail of our celebration was just right. The waitstaff was equally impressive—courteous, responsive, and genuinely friendly. We never had to ask twice for anything, and every guest felt completely taken care of. A major bonus for our family was how accessible the restaurant is for guests with mobility challenges. My 75-year-old family member uses a power wheelchair, and the layout, entrances, and table arrangements made it incredibly comfortable and stress-free for them to enjoy the celebration right alongside everyone else. That kind of thoughtful accessibility is rare and deeply appreciated. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a milestone—or just enjoy an amazing meal with wonderful service—La Colina Mexican Cantina is the place. Huge thanks to Andrea and the entire team for making our daughter’s graduation celebration so special and memorable! — The Labrador Family

Review for La Colina La Colina is hands down my favorite place to go! The atmosphere is always welcoming, the vibes are perfect whether you’re out with friends or just unwinding after a long day. What really makes the experience unforgettable, though, is Camilo—the best bartender ever. He’s not only incredibly skilled at mixing drinks, but he also makes everyone feel right at home. Attentive, friendly, and always on point with recommendations, Camilo truly elevates the whole experience. If you’re looking for great drinks, great service, and an all-around great time, La Colina is the spot. Highly recommend!

Had the chicken fajitas and chimichurri salad. All of the food was excellent and our server Angelica was very quick and very sweet. Skinny margarita came out perfectly sour and my boyfriends spicy margarita came out on fire! Which was a big hit. We both ordered a second drink because they were delicious. Highly recommend!
