Blessing Restaurant Gettysburg — Restaurant in Gettysburg

The positives: We had the pupusas, burrito, and fajita. The food was great. The service was friendly, and the restaurant looked clean and neat.

The negatives: The food was expensive and I felt like I was being nickeled and dimed for everything. For example, this is the first restaurant I've ever been in where I've been charged for asking for a second round of chips, and $4? Yikes. You want more than the measley 3 tortillas with the fajita? $2. The horchatas were $5 each, which we knew coming in, but pricey. They even charged 3% for credit card fee, which is also a first for me from a restaurant.

Aside from this, the music was a bit too loud. We left a little exasperated from it. A few things were missed in our order that we had to point out. Also, the men's bathroom was bad... It needed some cleaning.

Note for the owner, prices are too high already to try to overcharge for every little thing. I understand prices have gone up on everything, but this was over the top. Really enjoyed the food, but all these issues made us wish we had gone...

When my wife and I first visited Blessing Restaurant in December 2021 we had a fantastic meal and overall experience. However, we returned with my in-laws when they were visiting in January and the experience was less than hospitable. Not only did the waitress tell us we would have to pay for extra tortilla chips but she also told us that they ran out of salsa. Five minutes later, she delivered a bowl of salsa to another table. However, the worst part was when I tried to pay with a 100 dollar bill the manager came to the table and proceeded to embarrass me by telling me that he was worried that the money was counterfeit and that they would not accept it. He explained that they did not have any way of verifying that the bill was genuine legal tender. A package of 4 counterfeit detection pens cost only 4.99 on Amazon. It’s a small cost to save your customers the embarrassment of refusing to accept their cash when they are spending 92.00 on one meal. As a result, I will never return to Blessing...

Fajita skillet was seasoned and cooked spot on but they seem confused about how Mexican restaurants operate because the place was almost empty while other restaurants in town had people waiting in line to get a table. Glaringly obvious to me they charged $26 for fajitas and skipped some key ingredients. There were no chips or salsa for the table ($9 to order chips & salsa which all other Mexican restaurants serve with your meal) and no sauces whatsoever on the table. Eventually After asking twice I got some salsa to put on the last few bites but I missed sour cream, pico de gallo, chips and salsa for the rest of the meal. From a business perspective they made no attempt to promote beers/cocktails or advertise any drinks and when we tried to order the desert (refrigerated flan) they had predominantly advertised the waitress said they had no desserts whatsoever. Whoever runs this place either doesn't need to post a profit or has no clue about Mexican...
