Tania's Mexican Restaurant

Finally, I've discovered an excellent restaurant here in PA! It's in the middle of nowhere but that's where you find the best hidden gems. Came over to the area to volunteer at the migrant camps. The nurse recommended us to come here, and so we did. I agree with the comment before: this is a place by Mexicans for the Mexicans; the food is authentic and rich with flavor! One of the best Mexican food I've ever had.

Guacamole- this is PERFECTLY balanced and the lime juice makes the flavor so bright and fresh. I will be craving for this in the future!

Tongue Taco - taste like beef. it's tender, flavorful, tortilla is warm, really good!

Enchilada Verde- This dish explodes with flavor. Mildly spicy, slightly tart that's balanced with the sour cream. Even the beans were tasty.

Highly recommend this restaurant. Can't wait to bring my family here when they come visit me! If you come out here, it's next to beautiful fields of green grass and apple/peach orchard plantations, so make sure you enjoy the nature outside too!

Enchiladas de mole. Get the mole! It's so so soooooo good. Chicken or cheese enchiladas covered in the most delicious mole I've ever had, with a side of beans and rice. OR get the tacos de lengua (beef tongue) for about $5. Incredibly tender, and even better when you order a side of guacamole to go with your tacos. I've also had their quesadilla with chorizo, which was a bit oily from the chorizo, but hey... what can you expect? I've been pleased with everything I've gotten here. Try some agua fresca, and if you've still got room for dessert, have some sopapillas (fried thin pastry covered in honey and served with whipped cream). They also have a cooler with paletas (popsicles) - never had a cajeta one before, and it was reeeeeally good.

When I come for dinner, I usually get out paying around $10. It's hard to branch out and order something different on the menu because I typically switch between the mole and the tacos de lengua. They're so good!

Tania's is about 20 minutes north of Gettysburg and totally worth the drive if you want some GOOD food.

Oh my...finally authentic tacos!!!  Stopped here on a whim on my way back from blueberry picking in Ardentsville.  This Mexican/store definitely looks like a hole-in-the-wall way out by itself in the country...which is what attracted me in the first place.

Everything is in Spanish, but the family does speak minimal English. I was able to practice my Spanish :)  I ordered the three beef tacos for my daughter and I to share for $5.25.  We had some chips and salsa while we waited, which wasn't long.  The salsa was great!  Love the fresher taste though the consistency was a tad thinner than I like.  The tacos came right out, on corn tortillas as they should.  The beef was cut up small, very flavorful and a little crispy.  Sharing a ride on the taco was the right amount of onions, cilantro, and cheese.  You also get two sauces with the tacos, a cilantro based green sauce (mild-med) and a habanero sauce (more hot).  These tacos were the best I've had in this area.  We ended our meal with a pick out of the popsicle freezer near the front door.  Pina Colada cream popsicles which were devoured.  Seriously, I'm craving one right now.  Not too sweet but perfect for our Africa like weather.  

I'll definitely be back to this place. In fact I'll drive a half hour to eat here.  Lots of great things to try in the grocery aisles too!  Check out this gem of a restaurant!!!
