Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Omigosh......Great Mexican in the middle of nowhere! Try the pork and pineapple tacos! My wife's veggie quesadilla had bunches of different vegetables. Definitely worth a drive from anywhere in the area.

I grew up in So Cal (don't call it Cali - nobody does that except Easterners) and I'm always on the hunt for authentic Mexican. This is it folks! Not TexMex but true Mexican with a little Baja thrown in. I will give up ambiance any day for real authentic food : ) There is a great little Mexican market at one end - they even carry blue corn tortillas and huitlachoche. Meals are simple, fresh and made to order. AND no TV - thank goodness!!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Not as good as its been in the past. Corn tortillas on the tacos weren't heated so they were dry and broke apart. Rice bland, actually everything was bland.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

There are a number of good Mexican restaurant/grocery stores in Adams county these days, but Tania's is a gem, especially so given it's location up here in rural, restaurant-barren Upper Adams county. Don't get me wrong; it could hold it's own in more restaurant-dense places, which makes me value it that much more. Menu wise, it has what one would typically expect from a Mexican place--stuffed burritos, excellent enchiladas, great tacos, etc.--but this is complemented by a generous sampling of more unusual street-style food (a little beef tongue, anyone?), various off-menu specials, and on weekends, barbecued chicken accompanied with either Tania's tasty verde, roja, or mole sauce. The restaurant itself is rustic and very, very casual, so don't expect a fine-dining experience. What you can expect is friendly service, tasty food, and a fairly well-stocked Mexican grocery that always has ripe avocados. Enjoy!
