Guidebook for Helotes
Food Scene
B Daddy's is outstanding. They have special items on Saturday only like their beef ribs. It is pricey, but worth every penny. A single beef rib weighs at least a pound and is about $22 minimum. Great to get it to go, or eat outside on the picnic tables. They do get crowded and waits can be up to up to hour during peak times, so you want to go for "linner" in between lunch and dinner. They also have live music often.

Florio's PizzaRè
11851 Bandera RdNew York Style pizza, but hours are only in the evenings.
Order to go or they also deliver (so does Pizza Hut, Dominos and Papa John's). Florio's is first recommendation, with Rome's a very close second.

Tex-Mex at its finest. The cheese enchiladas are the best. It does get very crowded at peak times, so recommend this for brunch or "linner". They also have a separate door for To Go orders. If you get a to go order, but sure to ask for Chips and Hot Sauce, both are homemade. The chips rock. Hot sauce is very mild.

Parks & Nature
Our neighborhood is a great place to walk or hike. We do have walking trails, you can get to one at Lochwind and Ranch Parkway. You can see it by the overhead bridge. But honestly walking anywhere while exploring the neighborhood is awesome. Be careful for cars that are unexpected sometimes and watch out for critters and snakes . The back side of Ranch Parkway overlooks Government Canyon and is beautiful to walk at sundown and grab photos in the canyon. We also have tennis and basketball courts on the lower portion of Lago Vista.
