Las Trancas

We enjoy Las Trancas occasionally, it's not far from home and staff is always friendly. I enjoy the authentic tacos and cheese dip! The only negative I could really say is that everytime you walk into the restaurant, it smells like sewer. Rarely do you smell the aroma of food cooking. It must be something structural with the location. The place could use a little updating and repairs honestly. It hasn't changed in the 20 years I've been attending.Food is usually good and staff is always friendly on a more positive note.

Las Trancas was a regular date night spot before we moved. Luckily, we happened to be in the area when hunger struck! It was just as delicious as always and the service was superb. They gave us one salsa cup (quite large) to share but we asked for an extra because our toddler is a huge fan. She ate the big salsa and asked for more! I ordered a burrito and had enough for seconds the next day. The kids meal was plenty--and the fries were so well seasoned they put some fast food joints to shame (sorry my kid is 3 and is weird so fries with quesadillas ). My husband got a taco salad and it looked so good! We love this place and if you're local, you're lucky!

We've ordered takeout a few times from Las Trancas since moving to Randleman a few months ago; very pleased to report that each time had been a good experience. Their quesadillas are insanely delicious, juicy and flavorful; so far we've sampled the grilled steak, shredded chicken, grilled chicken and a plain cheese for the kids. If you order a platter/plate it will come with guacamole salad, lettuce, tomato and sour cream. So tasty; the steak quesadilla is my favorite! Also enjoyed were the chicken burrito with rice & beans, the steak burrito with rice & beans, chips, salsa and guacamole. I will most definitely continue to order out from Las Trancas; I'm pretty excited to try some other menu items in the future, so I'll definitely add more photos soon.

Nothing great just okay! Very pricey for what you get nothing bad but definitely not good either.

I'll be honest, I'm somewhat of a snob when it comes to good Mexican food. I grew up near the border and my standards are high, that being said, I'd rate Las Trancas as a three star Mexican restaurant located in small southern town. Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed. Pros: The servers are *usually* friendly, and always efficient. You most likely won't have to ask to have your water topped off. Another good thing to mention is that I've never been served stale chips (that's an immediate tell-tale sign of a mediocre Mexican restaurant, am I right??). They're hot salsa is packed with flavor, not just heat. I find that I always order the same dish when I come here, 'Pollo con Chorizo' (chicken topped with chorizo). It never fails, but other dishes have. Cons:The enchiladas are somewhat lackluster, and their "ACP" (Arroz Con Pollo) is somewhat bland. I may be the only one to say that about the ACP, however, since I think it's on half of the restaurants plates every time I dine here.I prefer small mom and pop (okay, madre y padre) Mexican restaurants where you can see them pressing homemade tortillas and the guac tastes like they just mashed it before it arrived on your plate. To others in the area, this may be the perfect Mexican restaurant for you-- but probably not if you've ever had the real thing.

I've only been once but it was a great experience. Never would have thought you could find good mexican in Randleman. The chips salsa and queso were very good. I ordered a shrimp with queso dish. It was very good but could have used a bit more queso. My boyfriend ordered a seafood burrito which was huge. He said it was okay but wish it came with a cheese sauce. Overall, it was a great place and I will definitely be back.

Food is really good and service is fine but they need music, it feels like a ghost town in that place.

Food is awesome. Fresh and plentiful. Service is always good! I feel like I'm visiting friends!

So I've eaten here about 5 times, twice in the past 24 hours. While the quality of the food is good, it can be a little inconsistent. I got the Enrique especial twice, and it seemed like I got two different sized portions of food. I will say however that the Enrique Especial was fantastic. They have the best hot sauce here that I've ever had. My biggest gripe though, that lost them 2 stars for me was the service. This isn't a very big restaurant, and two waitresses should be able to cover it effectively. However every time I've come in I've been sitting for 10-15 minutes without someone taking my order. They'll take my drink order, but forget to come ask me about food. I actually had the second waitress that was working take my order because I was finally able to flag someone down. It's actually a shame, the food is excellent, some of the best Mexican I've ever had, but the service just takes away from that.

I called at 8:05 and came to pick up my food at 8:50 and she said she threw it away because she thought I wasn't coming and the grill was off so they couldn't remake it. Fuck you.
