My husband does not like spicy food what would your suggestion be for my husband? And do you have french fries for a side? For me I usually like enchiladas are they real spicy?

Yes. I agree . It has great food. Great wait staff.They will accomodate you if you do not like spicy. Have gone there once a week for at least 10 years.

Do they have take out?

Yup

One of the best, most authentic Mexican restaurants in Pa. Definitely a real favorite to go to in gettysburg. Their burrito asada and salsa is incredible. Also very well priced.

This place is small Mexican restaurant directly on the road, so it does not have its own parking so you'll have to rely on the metered spaces. We sat in the outdoor dining space because the weather was nice when we visited.The food was great, the salsa was freshly prepared as were the chips. The service was was very friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a cozy place and like Mexican food this is a great stop.

Server Carlos was great. We sat on the porch which was a nice change. Our table was wobbly and he fixed it immediately. Food was very good. Prices reasonable. $15 a dinner.

Amazing authentic food. And Carlos was an exceptional host. By far the best Mexican food I have ever had. The atmosphere is inviting including the music choice and volume. All in all, an exquisite dining experience and highly recommended. Will be back the next time I am in town. And I must say the hot sauce I asked for was definitely NOT Frank's lol.One of the best seasoned I have ever had!

CONS: Extremely bland for Spanish food. One dish came to the table with a single black ant crawling on the plate, another had a piece of hair connecting 2 nachos together. I found that when I attempted to eat one nacho and the second nacho started to levitate. Server quick to blame the kitchen like this isn't the first time she's gotten these complaints. PROS: Friendly service, reasonable prices, good atmosphere, outdoor seating, kid friendly, and management took care of the discrepancies I outlined above without hesitation.

Had an amazing meal here! I ordered the Chile Relleno and it was one of the best I've ever had! The chips and salsa were fresh and sitting outside was the way to go. It does look like a hole in the wall inside so even though it was hot we ate outside. There was only 1 waiter that might have also been cooking and he was so embarrassed that we had to wait he treated us to our drinks. He did a great job even though he was extremely busy. It was worth the wait! I loved my meal so much I forgot to take a picture before I had almost finished it!

Downtown Gettysburg's hidden gem. Authentic Acapulco Mexican dishes with a delicious seasoning. I had the camarones Yucatan. Excellently grilled vegetables with lightly spiced shrimp and a side of rice. Outdoor patio puts you right in the heart of Gettysburg's town center.

Living in the SW we have lots of good Mexican restaurants. As we travel east it's difficult to find quality Mexican food. This place serves great food. Will stop again when in the Gettysburg area.

Our family drove by on the way to another restaurant and turned around because we saw the outside seating. So glad we did. The cost is incredibly reasonable the food was incredibly, well seasoned and full of flavor. Our waitress was wonderful. We will definitely return when visiting Gettysburg again.

Quaint little gem. Atmosphere is simple, service was great, food was outstanding. Menu offered some standard Latin dishes plus some authentic/ regional dishes. I went for the seafood chimichanga- it was awesome and was made with real crab meat and shrimp. Hubs had the Chicken Yucatan- wow, I thought he was going to lick the plate. Can't believe it took us so long to check this place out. We'll be back for sure!

Great Mexican place in the heart of gettysburg! They have indoor and outdoor seating with a lovely patio. No parking lot though so you'll need to find street parking. Food was delicious :)
