" I have heard a lot about the menudo at Las Trancas; it did not disappoint! Rich in flavor and perfect for sharing. The service was solid, with the staff doing their best to accommodate everyone. The decor is laid-back, creating a friendly atmosphere for families. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in authentic Mexican cuisine. Looking forward to going back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Las Trancas last evening, and honestly, it was just average. The food tasted good, but I've had better Mexican cuisine elsewhere. The vibe of the place is pleasant, but our waiter was a bit inattentive. I really expected more based on the reputation. I might consider giving it another shot, just to see if this was a fluke. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Las Trancas last weekend, and I must say, the food was phenomenal! The carne asada was perfectly grilled and the flavors were spot on. I especially loved the local touches, like their homemade salsas. The portion sizes were generous too, and for the price, I think it's a great deal. My only complaint was that the service was a bit slow, but it was worth the wait. I’ll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Las Trancas has become my go-to place for Mexican food! Their tacos are packed with flavor, and I appreciate the authenticity that comes through in every bite. The ambiance is relaxed, which makes for a nice evening out. I do wish they would improve upon their service as it can be hit or miss—sometimes we get fantastic staff, other times it feels like we’re forgotten. Nonetheless, I highly recommend it for food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I enjoyed a lovely meal at Las Trancas last Sunday. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything was solid, especially the tortilla soup! The comforting ambiance of the restaurant made it easier to unwind after a long day. The only hiccup was the service—it was busy, and I felt for our server because they seemed overwhelmed. However, it won’t stop me from returning because of the good food! " (*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*)
