Authenitic mexican food in the heart of downtown Gettysburg. The restaurant is located in the back of a convenience market. They have sit down service or carry out. I've gotten tacos and fajitas and both have been very good. Nice fast casual restaurant when you want to satisfy your Mexican food craving. read more

Very good authentic mexican food. Just happened by Tania's and stopped for lunch. What a great find. As a mexican, I have found it difficult to find places that serve the foods I grew up with. This is about the closest I have found to what mom makes for me. I look forward to going back again! read more

Attached to a small store in the middle of apple country you can purchase everything you need to try and recreate your meal. Then you can come back and just enjoy it here as it should be. Truly worth the drive. read more

Tania's Mexican Restaurant - parking lot with cars - Mexican Near Me - Aspers, Pennsylvania

Very good mexican food. Good service. You wont be disappointed. Authentic and a good value.

This place is a gem tucked away in Adams County that few outside people know about! Tania's offers authentic Mexican food right here in Pennsylvania. If you go here you will get authentic Mexican - not Taco Bell, not Chipotle, not some other Americanized attempt at Mexican food. Keep that in mind! Tania's is a little place that offer both a restaurant and a small grocery shop. Seating allows for maybe 20 people at a time but there is always room. Upon having a seat chips and salsa are brought out along with menus. There are A LOT of choices on the menu, and really you can't go wrong, but I tend to go with the lunch special just to make life easier! Food is made fresh and brought out quickly! You can taste that everything is fresh - none of this making in advance, leave in warming trays, and run under the broiler that is so common at other places! Portions are similar to other places while prices are cheaper so don't plan to leave hungry! read more

Wow..this is the definition of a hidden gem. After driving through endless apple orchards, back roads and little league baseball field; I came to this non descript restaurant. I stepped in and its half a Mexican Supermarket and deli and half a restaurant. I ordered the Steak Sopes, burritos, enchilada, taco and I couldn't resist the Pumpkin Flower Quesidilla. The chips, salsa and homemade queso were top notch. After maybe 20 mins the food came and it was PHENOMENAL!! I felt as if i was at a Mexican family reunion and great grandma and her daughter's all cooked me homemade meals. Take the journey to this place!! read more

We always make the drive here for Mexican. Don't play it safe, take the opportunity to try something new, like a pumpkin blossom quesadilla. I've tried almost everything but I am a big fan of the sopas here. I "accidentally" over order so that I have enough to take home...they have a green salsa that I always ask for, they also have a Smokey (chipotle?) salsa they will bring out if you ask. read more

Hidden Gem! The food is just as good as the atmosphere! This was my first time here and it didn't disappoint, the food was delicious! A number 1 combo meal was ordered, plus a basket of 3 ground beef hard shell tacos. I swear these were the best ground beef tacos I've ever had.Super juicy and seasoning is spot on. You can definitely tell there using authentic spices. My buddy said the combo meal was amazing! Rice and beans with a ground beef taco, pork tamale plus a chicken tostada. Two house sauces are offered, a red and a green sauce. I prefered the red sauce because it was more spicy. Not only is this place a small restaurant, it's also a convenience store. They carry a fairly wide selection of items, from pinatas to footwear, to homemade chorizo! I almost bought a pair of those white shoes, but they didn't have them in my size. I highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed. read more

Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had in this state hands down. Authentic AF! Love this place.

Authentic and delicious- been going for many years and always great guacamole and homemade chips, everything is like real authentic style- no fusion going on- and cute little grocery for some limes and jalapeños and Mexican coke if you want. Love the burritos and tacos pastor, everything is great! read more

OK, out in the middle of nowhere there exists a great little Mexican restaurant/Mexican food market/jewelery store (all in one building). I had just spent two days at a law conference in Gettysburg where the catering was amazing. On the way back to Mechanicsburg, we decided to take the back roads. We were on route 34 when we decided we were hungry and I was in the mood for something spicy after all of that rich food I had eaten those two days. We saw this Mexican restaurant and decided to stop and grab a bite. We were the only gringos in there. Everyone spoke Spanish and even the staff were not overly fluent with English. They brought out chips and salsa. I wasn't impressed but everyone else liked them. I like really spicy, chunky, and fresh salsa. They served something that was a little bit sweet and thinner. I thought the chips were a little stale. I ordered the carnitas tacos (about $4.00 for three) and the kids split an order of chicken tacos (same price). Hubby ordered a special that included some type of thin but large meat steak (I think it was beef) cooked until incredibly tender in a sauce that included tomatoes, onions, and peppers (I think jalapenos). It was served with a rice and refried beans. The beans were some of the best I've ever eaten. The special was $9.00. I tasted hubby's dish and it was amazing. It was so good, he even picked up the bones to get the last little nibbles (which is pretty out of character for him). So you know it was fantastic. The tacos were good, on par with the ones you get at the authentic places in Harrisburg. They were served on small corn tortillas with just cilantro and onion. There are several bottled hot sauces of varying degrees of intensity with which to torture your taste buds. The place was pretty basic, sort of generic diner type tables and booths. Food was served quickly. Service was good. Bathrooms were older but very, very clean. While we were there tons of people came and went. Some shopped the small Mexican market, some bought phone cards, and many came into eat. A large portion of the restaurant clientele appeared to be Mexicans that worked in the surrounding area. Probably on farms or in construction because most of them had dirty boots like they had been working outside. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food. On the way out, we picked up four of the Mexican popcicles. They have great flavors to pick from: I had tamarind with chiles, hubby had currant, one kid had maple walnut (creamy) and the other had rice pudding (also creamy). All four were very, very good. We will definitely stop there again and again when we are in the area. read more

We visited on the way home one evening. It is a small building on rt 34, near the town of Aspers, Pa. Gravel parking long could accommodate about 40 cars. Several bushes around the edge of the property. there were several signs in Spanish hanging from the windows: money transfer forms, phone cards, jewelry repair, a huge Spanish music concert in shartlesville, pa, etc. When we went in, we were greeted by a tall mexican waiter, he seated us and got us menus right away, after giving us a little time to look, he returned for our beverage selections, while bringing out chips & salsa. We looked at the menu, it appeared to be complete, with many selections, but was standard, nothing special. the prices were reasonable, comparable to other mexican restaurants I've been to. We ordered the shrimp soup (8.00) It had a ton of small shrimp in it, though none were peeled, nice base too, very tasty. Bistek a la mexicana (12.00) which is a large flat slice of beef, along with beans and rice, covered in avocado, onions & tomato's along with 5 corn tortillas. We ordered a taco salad (8.00), which was a large tortilla, fried, that had a bowl appearance, with ground beef, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese on top. What we tried that was decent was: a Beef soup, with cabbage, tomato, half a corn on the cob, onions, cilantro, all in large slices. It was amazing, when we first came in we asked what the best item was, he suggested that. the little store was okay it has pastries, treats, rice, medicine, first communion dresses, religious statues, dried peppers, canned goods, a complete line of soccer clothing. All in all it was pretty good, having read Amy's review and being in the area, I thought it would be pretty neat. I have to give Amy credit she reviewed a nice little spot. Prices- fair, Service-fair, taste- Good. read more

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! read more

Great Mexican restaurant and store in the middle of nowhere. Best lengua tacos! Complimentary chips and salsa. Friendly and attentive. Large and refillable fountain soda. Prices are reasonable. Tania's is between a bodega and one of those chains like Cancun or Fiesta Mexico or El Rodeo. Which makes it the perfect place for authentic Mexican food in a clean restaurant. My only problem is the distance from home. If they were closer, I could see myself there a couple times a week! read more

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. read more

Cool store with more than yummy Latin food:) Staff is always polite. I love the tomatoes!

Friday night April 1 was our first visit to this restaurant. Most of the other reviewer's covered the decor and the ambience very accurately. It's kind of like what you would expect on a gravel road 20 miles from the Mexican border in Texas, Arizona or New Mexico. When you walk in there's a small seating area on the left and a grocery store on the right. Very funky and original, but neat.... I actually liked it! If you know anything about Adams County and it's "Fruitbelt" you would understand why one would would not be surprised to find a good Mexican restaurant here... Right middle of literally thousands and thousands of acres of Cherry, peach, plum, apricot, pear, and apple orchards where a vibrant Hispanic workforce lives and has pretty much year-round employment depending on the seasons. (Fruit and berry picking from May through November, and fertilizing, mowing, and pruning, for the cold weather season.) The tortilla chips appetizer was served with three different salsa dips. One red one was quite nice hot and spicy, a second reddish brown one was very hot and spicy, and a green one was also delightfully spicy. My wife ordered shrimp fajitas and I ordered steak fajitas. Both were excellent. And the portions were large enough that we actually only ate about half of each and took home the balance to have for lunch today. The Mexican brown rice with peas and carrot pieces was very good. The refried beans where to bland (Not spicy enough) for our taste and they were not physically hot enough to remain tasty throughout the meal. Now that I think about that I probably could have fixed The "Bland" issue by simply putting some of the very hot salsa dip on top of them. The service was fine for a busy Friday night but I wouldn't say that it was exemplary. We definitely will be back even though it's about a 15 mile drive for us... We live 4 miles west of Gettysburg off route 30. The dinner bill for the appetizer, two fajita entrées, iced tea, and Diet Coke, was $30 with a 20% tip. Most of the other Dinner entrées were a lot less expensive than the fajitas. Despite what other reviewers say... I think Tanias is better than any of the Mexican restaurants that we have here in Gettysburg. read more

Stopped in here on Mother's day. The food was delicious. Homemade tortilla chips to start, as well as large fountain drink sizes made for a good start to the meal. I had the spicy pork and pineapple tacos. They weren't too spicy, and the pineapple was a nice touch of sweetness to balance out the spicy pork. Mom had the fajita taco salad and enjoyed the whole thing, including the bowl! Dad had a combo with a Chili rellano, beef burrito, and a tamale. No complaints from him on his meal either. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area! read more

This place is amazing, if you like authentic Mexican food this is the best around. I drive here from Chambersburg and we have some good Mexican there too but this is the best. Al pastor burritos or al pastor tacos are incredible, I tried my girlfriend's chicken quesadilla and it was good as well. Tres Leche is worth a try too. It doesn't hurt either that it's a beautiful drive to get there especially in the spring. read more

good food nice workers do recommend bringing extra money some of there stuff can be pricey

Always tasty, fresh food. Never lets us down. Clean and friendly atmosphere. Don't miss this stop on your way through Aspers.

Stopped there today on the way home from Mechanicsburg. Worth the trip. It's a nondescript building in a very sparsely populated area. It is probably the best Mexican restaurant in central PA. It's a family owned and ran restaurant. Food was plentiful and very good. The young lady that served us was very nice. We will make the trip, about 20 miles from our home, to eat there again. read more

When did all the white people find this place? Tanias IS Mexican. Made by Mexicans, for Mexicans. This is the place that introduced me to tortas (Mexican sandwiches on special bread). Sandavall and his taco truck may have started the craze in Adams county several years ago, but if you want to sit inside and eat your spicey pork tacos/tortas, Tania's is where to go. Spicey pork? A treat you won't find in Americanized Mexican restaurants, it's the treat that makes me sorry I went vegetarian years ago. Service? Decor? You go here for the food. read more

LOVE Tania's! Everything tastes so good, is so authentic, and comes in great, big portions so come hungry. My favorite thing on the menu is the veggie fajitas, but I've also had the chicken enchiladas which were fantastic as well! This is kind of a hole in the wall place, I heard about it from a friend who just so happened to pass by it one day and stop in. Now I've been more than a handful of times and am never disappointed! Prices are great too. You need some Tania's in your life!!!! read more

This is a great off the beaten path Mexican grocery store and restaurant that serves authentic, awesome food. The grocery store has a huge variety of Mexican food products that you would be hard to find in a chain grocery store in the area. The restaurant has a small seating area with a couple booths and tables. You can take food out and even call ahead to place your order. The menu has a large selection of traditional Mexican foods tacos, tortas, sopes and tamales. The food is fresh and authentic, definitely my go-to spot for good Mexican food. read more

Tania's is a place I look forward to when I return to Carlisle to visit friends and mountain bike. It is amazing living in NYC I have yet to find any Mexican food that compares to Tanias. From the burrito to torta and to enchiladas, my mind is always spinning on what to order. A friend and I have worked our way thru the entire menu and must say we have yet to find a dish that was not great (hey, we mostly hit it after mountain biking, so we deserve it!) Make sure you ask for the homemade hot sauces. It is BYOB and there is a pizza shop next door that sells take out, so win win! read more

Finally found real Mexican food in the state of PA. What a search it was too. This is the real deal, if you're into good home cooked comida, you won't be disappointed. If you're in this area, make it a point to eat at Tania's. Makes me want to move back to Mexico.. read more

The best authentic Mexican food in Southern PA! Don't expect a fancy restaurant setting...but what you can expect is great food that's homemade along with great service. The tamales with green sauce and the spicy pork tacos are awesome! I plan on expanding my horizons and ordering more off of their wide menu! Don't miss this place!! read more

We have eaten here in the past and it was really good. The chile rellenos tasted like they were made the day before and heated up when I ordered it. They served my husband a cold cup of coffee and when he told them, the waitress took it away and heated it up in the microwave. I bought a piece of tres leche cake to go. I took it home and the milk had gone sour. I called them to let them know, and they blamed the bakery. Very disappointing. read more

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!!! read more

Between "no where" and "you gotta be kidding me" sits the perfect little Mexican restaurant. The three tacos special (chicken, spicy pork and pineapple and tongue) were perfectly seasoned. Presentation was lovely, service was sweet (a lively young lady) and while the atmosphere was "rustic", it was overshadowed by the flavors and friendliness !!!! read more

Easily the best Mexican place I've ever been to. I strongly recommend the chiles rellenos, tamales, and anything with mole.

We have been here several times and have never been disappointed. The food is authentic Mexican. I enjoy getting the combination meals they offer to get a taste of everything. Bring a bottle of wine and be sure to check out the store after eating. read more

Really Great Authentic Mexican Restaurant, and store. Living in Central PA good Authentic Mexican is hard to come by. Especially Torta's. Tania's makes a number of different Torta's that are all really delicious. This place is also in great location to Pine Grove Furnace State Park, and the campground. Following Pine Grove Road will drop you right into Aspers where delicious Mexican food awaits. Overall one of the best Mexican joints in the area. read more
