Las Trancas

The food was better months ago… now it’s a mess! The prices have increased about a good 30% plus there’s no such thing as «Free Refills» anymore! It’s $ 2.50 per refill on all soft drinks, lemonade (powered drink) and teas.
The waitstaff even told me that their famous menudo that’s available for their «all you can eat» can sometimes be yesterday’s and or even lasts week!
Plus I’ve seen roaches near the kitchen area they have… I hope the health department does something about it quickly!!!

This place is awesome especially on Thursday!!! Finally I found a descent Taco place in las cruces. They have 50 cents ground beef taco every Thursday!!! The serving was fast and they have Horchata … Awesome!!! The place is typical mexican restaurants and it’s a little bit noisy. They also have specials on beer. It’s a great place for people to grab a bite fast as well as having family dinner.

I was only in here to grab a cup of their tortilla soup as I was sick as a dog and needed some magic.
What I got totally helped me a TON from a very nice girl at the counter. It was very homemade and authentic and it helped me get the much needed rest I craved!
I would love to go back and try the rest of the menu!

The family and I ate dinner here it was a waste of money. The carne asada was fatty and I was unable to eat. The service was slow. The soup was bland. I will not be going back.

$ 6 for two eggs, chorizo, tortilla, and hash brown. Can’t complain. It was good. Place was buzzing!

Solid breakfast to keep you going till dinner. Between the family tried a chorizo breakfast burrito, machaca, and their special which seemed sorta like a steak and eggs scramble. All were tasty. Service and atmosphere were fine. Lots of other folks eating the menudo.

Burritos were dry and salsa was only form of moisture :(Not impressed

We stopped in today for lunch. The service was very good and our food came quickly. My wife and I had the stuffed sopapillas, one with ground beef and one with shredded beef. Both plates came with rice and re-​fried beans. The rice was little on the bland side, but everything else was delicious. Will definitely return.

Amazing chorizo breakfast burrito smothered in chile verde sauce. You know I’ll be doing that again someday!

This place is really good for a hole in the wall. Great service and good food. I had a chorizo breakfast burrito and my bf had the carne asada plate. Both were very good :)

It’s coo we had it last minute before they closed called it in burrito and tacos they gave us three instead of four and no hot sauce but better then mc ds

I got the stuffed sopapillas with green chili and they were great. Packs a good heat. A true hole in the wall New Mexican restaurant. Chips are a little stale but the sopapillas with honey are a good night cap after your meal.

We came to Las Trancas last Sunday night for dinner. There were 8 of us. the service was excellent and the food was even better.
I wasn’t super hungry, but I still wanted to sample their food. I ordered the Albondigas Stew. For those who are unfamiliar with what Albondigas Stew is, think vegetable soup with meatballs. Ok, now think orgasm in your mouth, because that’s what this soup was. It was a goddamn orgasm in my mouf! It was seasoned to PERFECTION. It needed nothing. No salt. No pepper. NOTHING. Plenty of veggies and tons of meatballs. They serve it with a side of rice and a half of a lime. I squeezed the lime in the soup, but, really, it didn’t need it.
I also ordered a taco on the side. It was way too much food, but I forced down a few bites. So good.
Miguel ordered the red chile enchiladas. I had a bite and just like La Posta, they were so good. They served Sopapillas for dessert, but like a dummy, I didn’t save any room. I will have to try one before I leave.

Las Trancas is a great restaurant that I really enjoy going to. The food is delicious and I love it. I think is one of the most delicious restaurant i have ever gone to and I will change chepes for it. It is cheap to.

This is my FAVORITE place to eat in all of LC! It’s a little place that’s low in prices and high in flavor. Seriously, this is down-​home comida mexicana at its best.
