Came in on Sunday before the church crowd, in need of a hangover fix. I heard they had good Posole so I came in for that. This is a Posole review only. My review is GET THE POSOLE! Huge chunks of meat, tons of hominy, huge bowl and flavorful! Man this is good!Pair it with a Mexican coke and you start to come back to life!The only thing I would change is the bread. It's like a toasted hotdog bun. A roll or tortilla would be better. Other than that, the Posole is 5 stars for me! I'll be back to try more of the menu.

Clean, busy, and lots of servers checking on you. We stopped for Sunday breakfast and ordered a variety of things to get our final chile fix before heading home to Texas.I recommend the "native" combos because they come with a cup of the delicious albondigas soup. The combos are huge so plan to share. Excellent breakfast burritos. Both the red and green chile were tasty, medium heat and fresh. The carne adovada is crazy tender. Even the rice and beans were done well. There's all you can eat menudo on weekends, too. Get some sopapillas for dessert :) Recommended.

Service was terrible. Once we got our food we were never checked on once. It would have been nice for a follow up and a refill on our drinks. They don't offer complementary chips and salsa. You have to buy them. Fajita mix that I got with chicken and beef was good. My husband got chicken and beef tacos. He said the beef was super bland but the chicken was good. Still on the search for amazing Mexican food here...

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - paradillas for 2 with beef, pork, a bit of chorizo, corn tortillas, grilled onions, 2 jalapeño toreados, asadero cheese, 2 baked potatoes, guacamole, and salsa. Very filling! We couldn't finish the plate and almost had enough for a second meal. The cooks on the protein were great but while the beef was nicely seasoned, the pork was a bit bland. The asadero cheese was great while hot but become solidified fairly quickly and was just a block of cheese then. Great guacamole but the salsa was a bit on the sour end. Ambience: 5/5 - cozy with low ceilings and historic decorations. Loved the servers' shirt that states ""I HATE TACOS" - no juan ever"Service: 5/5 - very friendly and welcoming service. Not the quickest but we weren't in a rush and were comfortable with the waits Value for price: 5/5 - reasonable price, delicious food, friendly service

So far the only down fall to this place is you don't get chips and salsa upon sitting down. (That's one item I look for in any Mexican style restaurant) The red enchiladas were delicious, the pozole was on point

Las Trancas is again one of my go to Mexican restaurants. Today, as always, the service was efficient and pleasant. I ordered their number #4 combination meal. This meal comes with a cup of their Albondigas Soup which was brought to the table within three minutes of ordering the meal. The soup was very flavorful and full of hearty vegetables. Rate the soup an "A-." I really enjoyed it. The main meal was brought to the table about six minutes later. The service overall was quick and efficient from the waitress to the kitchen. A ground beef taco was served on a separate plate with a little bit of salsa on the side. The salsa was quite ordinary but the taco, which had a soft tortilla warmed on the grill, was quite good for a ground beef taco. Actually, it was one of the better ground beef tacos I've had. Rate it a solid "B." The rice and refried beans were the usual. The enchilada was above average. Rate it a "B." The chile relleno was well above average and it had a good bit of heat. Rate it a "B+." The star of the show was, once more, their carne adovada. Large chunks of tender pork, so tender you could cut them with the side of your fork, were steeped in a delicious sauce. Since visiting Las Trancas once again this year the carne adovada served here has become one of my favorite meals in town. This version of carne adovada is how it should be done. THIS IS CLEARLY THE BEST CARNE ADOVADA IN LAS CRUCES. Rate it a an "A" for excellent. The restaurant with its nice ambiance and comfort, nice well rounded New Mex menu, good service, and really good food rates FIVE STARS. I've once again become a regular customer. (See my previous review for info on their stuffed sopapilla and chile con carne burrito.)

The food at this restaurant was really over hyped than what it was. I order the flauta plate and it was not as tasty as it sounded to be. Also I ordered the enchiladas and it had a sour taste when I took my first bite. Not sure if they used old cheese but that's what it reminded me of. Our server didn't check on us but to take our order and bring our food. The server didn't refill our drinks or didn't even look at us while we were trying to flag her down. We had to call over another server to have our food taken off our check because I couldn't take another bite. The food is pretty pricey and wouldn't recommend coming to this place. There are way better restaurants in the area than this place.
