Literally the best Mexican food I’ve ever had! I take everyone I know with me when we visit Gettysburg and everyone feels the same. From the tacos, to the burritos, sopes, and even standard American fare like the chicken sandwich and fries, it really is absolute perfection. My fiancee is very picky about hot sauce and he fell in LOVE with the red sauce.

Amazing restaurant! I conveniently stumbled upon it while doing my laundry, as you have to go through part of the laundromat to get to it. They sell a variety of different drinks here, as well as of course, the amazing food they make here! Pictured are the chicken empanadas, which were nothing short of amazing! Pair it with a Chia Seed drink and you're good to go. I highly recommend coming here if you enjoy authentic Mexican food! The taste is nothing short of amazing!

Don't let the entrance fool you as you walk through the laundry mat. The real deal as it is cooked to order right in front of you. The burrito was the size of a toddler's diaper. The food was most excellent as was the service and the goods sold onsite. You could purchase Hispanic grocery items as well as a pair of handmade leather boots. Great stuff but there is a spoiler alert, If you frequent a corporate chain that sells imitation Hispanic food, this place will definitely destroy your urge to ever go back to Corporate food. As it should!

Spent the day in Gettysburg and was looking for a place to eat. At first I was taken back by the entrance but once inside, it was amazing. We ordered alot of food unaware of the incredibly large portions. I was eating that for 2 days and it was still great

Such a gem. Delicious food tucked away in a small grocery store, tucked inside a laundromat. This place is great. Would recommend the tacos, of which you get five. Which is crazy, but they’re so delicious. Chips are homemade, too.

Their food is fresh, delicious, and plentiful. This Mexican restaurant is the best in the Gettysburg area. Walk through the laundromat to find the restaurant in the back.

I finally found a place in South Central PA with great tacos! The chicken was amazing! I thought it was gone when I pulled up. The open sign wasn't lit and through the window I could see laundry machines but you walk through there into a small market in the back. Fantastic!
