Tanias Mexican Restaurant & Store — Restaurant in Gettysburg

This little restaurant was such a wonderful surprise today- had never been in, and in the heat, was picking up to take home. I did try to order online and it was not available, but the woman answering the phone made it very easy to order over the phone for pickup. When I arrived early, it was prepared and waiting. The store is stocked bountifully with many spices, baked goods are available in the grocery section, and there is an abundance of products not readily available in many local grocery stores. The food was savory and flavorful and I think I’m going to make a point of taking some of my kids’ for their “special restaurant visits” to this lovely treasure hidden amidst the local buildings of downtown Gettysburg. Often there is a theme related to the tourism of the area, this was a refreshing visit that felt like you were stepping out of the ordinary. Very quiet and small, but most enjoyable to pop in, I will be back- if you like a chain experience this may not be your cup of tea but if you like to explore off the beaten path, take a chance on this little nook...

I took my family to Tanias for lunch on a Friday afternoon, they were only to tables busy. The waitress does all the job by herself, from bussing tables, taking food orders and taking care of the grocery store customers. After placing my order: of one Quesadilla, 3 tacos and 3 enchiladas , we waited 45 minutes , by then all the tables were empty, all we had so far was 2 baskets of chips and two sodas from the refrigerator. Any other restaurant we usually wait 10 to 15 minutes, maybe 20 . 45 minutes it's just to much.We got up paid for our drinks and left the grocery store/ restaurant / bakery. I wish I could tell you how the food was, but i never got it. So if you ever happen to be in Gettysburg PA , and you have two hours to spare go to Tanias Mexican Restaurant , just make sure you have lunch before...

TL:DR - Go to Tania's for a delicious & plentiful meal.

Go to Tania's for a solid selection of Mexican produce and packaged foods.

Tania's, in the front is a small, but focused market. With a variety of produce and packaged products associated with Mexican foods. In the back of the store, which is an understatement, is a wonderful made to order restaurant. I have yet to have food that I wanted to, but because of the portions, found it difficult to finish. OK to be fair, I usually order more dishes than my family and I could finish...too many delicious options. In both the store and the restaurant, the folks are wonderful. Ready to help and explain if there is something you may have questions about,...
