Tanjas Mexican Restaurant & Store

Forget about the tourist traps in the middle of downtown Gettysburg, this restaurant and bodega is the real deal if you are looking for authentic Mexican food in an unassuming hole-in-the-wall setting. The front of the store has fresh produce, groceries, and baked goods and the back has a sit down restaurant with a full menu of delicious Mexican dishes and delectable cakes and other desserts. We got the Chicken Fajita Quesadillas, fresh guacamole, and the taco and enchilada lunch special and everything tasted great. We got our meal to-go and they even included spicy and mild salsa containers with our food. Highly recommend if you are looking for authentic tex-mex food in a casual setting.

Wow. Some of the best restaurants are small, plain and unassuming, and this place is no exception. We were visiting the area and had a hankering for Mexican food and the reviews here were good so we took a shot. So glad we did. You walk into a small storefront with lots of dried peppers, specialty items and drinks. Walk through and you hit the dining room. A true family restaurant, the staff were all sharing a meal but quickly seated us and made us feel right at home. The food was terrific, the mole sauce was some of the best I've had, and the tacos were authentic. Definitely check it out!

2nd visit in 2 months - they knocked it outta' the park both times! Both times I've ordered one of their combination platters in order to sample a little bit of everything - not one thing to complain about. Food was really tasty & not too heavy, the staff is friendly, & the food comes out quickly. Tania's is located in a nondescript little shopping center just off of US 30 a.k.a. the Lincoln Highway - the front of the restaurant is a small food store...but you're in the right place - just walk to the back to the relatively small seating area. This restaurant truly qualifies as a hidden gem - if you're in the mood for some good Mexican food in Gettysburg, Tania's is right for you!

I was very disappointed. My husband and I use to enjoy the food here, but the last 4 times that we have come it's been so bland and very small in portions. My side of beans was about two tablespoons that the spread out thinly on a small plate. I wish I had taken pictures. I also got two tacos and the beef had no flavor. I'm not sure what changed here, but we don't plan on going back.

This restaurant is in the back of the store. Very plain interior. but the food portions are large and tasty. No alcohol is served. Service was attentive and the food came without a long wait. Would definitely come back if ever in Gettysburg again.

This is an amazing hidden gem! Don't let the location or outside facade fool you, this place has amazing, authentic Mexican food! I had tamales which were moist and flavorful (sometimes tamales can be dry). The shrimp, steak, and chicken fajitas were great with fresh vegetables. The shredded beef burrito was stuffed full with meat. This place is definitely worth visiting!

Outstanding little restaurant in back of Mexican grocery. There are only 10 tables, I am first here on Saturday night 5:30. 4 more table fill by 5:45, I'm the only non-Spanish speaker in the room. Oh well, menu is translated. Mushroom quesadilla served in corn tortilla instead of wheat I am used to. The appetizer chips fresh and crispy with wonderful home made salsa. Good salsa usually tells the tale of the entrees to come and chicken chimichanga was also excellent, shredded meat moist and flavorful. Service, prices excellent. But no beer, BYOB. I'll be back

The best thing we ate was the chips and salsa. I had the chile relleno and BF had three soft tacos. The pork on his tacos was tasty, we would be fine having that again. My chile relleno was poor. The breading was soggy and limp, and the sauce was watery and ketchupy. Not a good showing at all.The staff were nice and service was good.

Amazing food, and I love the fact that it feels very homey and family oriented! All of the ladies I've met every time I come there they are so sweet and I just love this place so much! Food is fresh and hot when it gets to the table, the service is amazing and very quick, and I love that you can shop after because it has a market too. This place has my heart

What a wonderful authentic Mexican restaurant. So often "Mexican" means Mexican food that has been Americanized, but not here. The food was delicious, especially the Tamale which was a real "cooked in a corn husk" Mexican style tamale! This was our first time and we will be back!
