" The experience at Las Trancas is a mixed bag. On one hand, the food is undeniably good, and they offer a wide variety of delicious dishes. The menudo was particularly scrumptious and authentic. However, the service left much to be desired. Our server seemed overwhelmed and inattentive, which made the meal less enjoyable. I believe that with better management of the staff, this place could shine even brighter. I’ll likely return for the food but hope for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Walking into Las Trancas felt like stepping into a cozy corner of Mexico. The aromas wafting from the kitchen were enough to make anyone's mouth water! I ordered several plates to share, including the nachos and enchiladas, and every bite was filled with vibrant flavors. The service was friendly, although a bit slow at times; it didn’t dampen our spirits. We left with satisfied stomachs and voices filled with laughter. Definitely looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" After visiting Las Trancas several times, I've finally put together my thoughts. The tacos al pastor are simply mouthwatering and taste just like what you’d find in Mexico. The variety of options is fantastic too. While the food generally keeps me coming back, the service has wavered between great and just okay. This sort of inconsistency can be annoying but doesn't overshadow the great taste of the food. Recommend trying the margaritas as well; they’re delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit to Las Trancas after hearing so much praise, but I left feeling a bit disappointed. The tacos I ordered were lacking seasoning and freshness, and my service was quite underwhelming. I felt ignored most of the time, which is frustrating when you’re trying to enjoy a meal. The environment was nice, but it didn’t make up for the food quality. I may give it another shot in the future, but I’ll be cautious. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Las Trancas a few times now. The food is usually delicious and authentic but recently, I had a bit of a miss with the flavor of my chalupa. It just wasn't hitting the right notes. The service can vary from friendly to a bit distracted. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere which keeps it feeling pleasant. I might consider trying a different dish next time, hoping it’s an improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! I stumbled upon Las Trancas while searching for authentic Mexican food. The first bite of their enchiladas transported me back to my grandmother's kitchen. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. I particularly loved the addition of fresh cilantro and lime to my dish. The service was friendly, but we did wait a while to be seated, which was a bit frustrating. Regardless, the authentic flavors made it worth it for me. I will definitely be returning with friends and family without a doubt. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing meal at Las Trancas last weekend. Though the food was satisfactory, I felt the service didn't match. Our server seemed disengaged, and it took longer than expected to get our orders. Maybe I came on a bad day, but I expected more given the reviews. The ambiance is certainly homey, and the menudo was tasty. I might consider giving it another try down the line. " (*Curated Review*)
