    Las Trancas Dip
    Christina D.

    Casual date night landed us at Las Trancas in Southridge after seeing Jungle Cruise. I was quickly reminded why they are one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. The Las Trancas dip was phenomenal. My chicken chimichanga's where on point; loaded with veggies and tender chicken. My husband got his normal pollo loco and it is hands down the best in the valley. Piled high with two chicken breasts and tons of veggies. You could have fed two people on just his dish. The dip isn't on the menu yet, so you'll have to ask for it, but it's a good change up and only $5, you could make it a meal.

    7/10 if it were an option, but I felt 3/5 was a tad too harsh. Now, I'm not gonna lie and act like this place is anything all that special. It's your standard Mexican restaurant, nothing more.... But one the things that I really liked about Las Trancas was their Salsa. In fact, I'd consider it some of the best that I've had. It's a less "chunky" salsa too, which is what I prefer. Aside from the food, I thought the service was good and the decor was refreshing. It is a lot more rustic on the interior than your standard Mexican restaurant. I found that to be kind of cool. Otherwise, not much sets it apart from the others. The salsa will probably bring me back though, I will say that.

    Setup.

    Definitely a fan. Cheap menu (reasonable prices, compared to many places) and a heavy (and hot) plate is what you get in return. If you like authentic Mexican, this place has what you're looking for. Service was good. Our server was patient with us ordering. We were pretty indecisive with our selection. Third time was a charm with his return. Delicious food, and clean tables, seating and floors. Do watch out with those plates. VERY hot. Immediately can scold. Again, do be careful with a lot of the plates on the menu. Like, figurative plates but also the literal plate itself. Heh. Also, don't be dumb like me and fill up on the free tortilla chips. :P

    Chicken Taco Salad + spinach and mushrooms = good

    Good food, consistent, not too pricy. The California Burrito is awesome! It's huge! The Chicken Taco Salad is good. The chips are a little thicker here than other Mexican in the area. The decor is most impressive. Large log wood construction, high ceilings, feels very roomy (because it is). We like having this place in the rotation.

    When you ignore the request "no cheese" it ruins the dinner that costs me $60 to bring home, and not eat.

Dripping this on the chips and my Mexican rice was my favorite part of the meal, Guacamole - the fresh diced tomatoes and red onion added crunch and flavor which I really enjoyed. Salsa - I'm a little torn on this. The salsa was fresh and flavorful but there is a different flavor here that I can't put my finger on that tasted different from other Charleston area Mexican restaurants of tried when in town. I also ordered the combination taco plate with Birria taco and chicken tinga. I wasn't expecting sour cream in the chicken tinga taco so I couldn't finish that. I tried to eat around to get the chicken but the sauce was not very good. This didn't taste like chicken tonga and I wouldn't order it again. The Birria taco also did not taste like Birria that I've had. This was more like beef roast on a taco with toppings. It wasn't bad and it wasn't good but it also didn't come with consume which was disappointing. The sides were rice and beans and while they were ok, I was expecting more flavor and authentic Mexican cheese instead of the plain shredded cheese on top. This was very, very Americanized Mexican food but I think they know their audience. Whatever you do, don't order a Margherita from here. I should've learned my lesson about Charleston area Mexican restaurants the last time I was in town but unfortunately I thought it was just the other restaurant down the block. I'm convinced they use grain alcohol or some other very cheap liquor in these in some of the Mexican restaurants in the area. The flavor was way off and was definitely not tequila. I only had this drink on a full stomach and it gave me a headache and nausea the next day.

    When you think of good Mexican food, usually Beaver, WV does not come to mind. However, I was…read morepleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the food! I grew up in Tucson, AZ and I have travelled to Mexico many times. When it comes to authentic Mexican food, most (but not all) restaurants that are not close to our Southern border cater to American tastes. Pro Tip #1: If you want authentic Mexican tacos, they should be using soft shell corn tortillas and be topped with cilantro and onions with lime wedges on the side to squeeze on top. Look for the terms "street tacos" or "authentic tacos" and make sure they are topped with cilantro and onions. Pro Tip #2: If you like hot salsa, most Mexican restaurants will have it, but you have to ask if they have any hot salsa in the back. I ordered the Tacos Al Pastor (which is pork with spices and pineapple). They come on soft shell corn tortillas and are topped with cilantro and onions and have lime wedges on the side. Yay! I also ordered a lime margarita on the rocks with salt. The tacos were very good! I would order them again! My waiter was friendly and called me "corazón," which was sweet. Unfortunately, I accidentally found myself in Beaver, WV after having to avoid the last toll on the WV Turnpike, so I likely won't be able to come back to this restaurant. However, if I ever find myself back in this small town again, I will absolutely come back to El Mariachi!

The service was exceptional; I was able to speak comfortably in Spanish with the friendly waiter, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised to discover such a vibrant and inviting place, so far from my home. My quesadilla was vegetarian, stuffed with a generous mix of fresh, crunchy vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions, and it was absolutely delicious. Finding options with truly fresh veggies is usually challenging, so this was a delightful discovery. I would love to visit again if I ever return to the area.

    Voted best restaurant in Ravenswood...... by our family. And by the look of most of the other…read morereviews in Yelp, it's a favorite of other families too! It was a hot steamy 4th of July day when we made the trek to Las Fajitas. I mean, for this west coaster, the heat was brutal. I mentioned to my daughter that I can deal with dry heat, but throw in the humidity and stick a fork in me, I'm done. Heat is heat dad, she said. Deal with it. Then deal me out! But of course, I dealt with it, and thanks to the great folks at Las Fajitas, I wasn't dealt a bad hand. Ahhh a cool breeze hit us as we opened the door. That's worth five stars right there! From that point it only got better. Nothing on the menu chipped away from the LF's celestial lofty perch. Chips and salsa did their job and made us thirsty. Our drinks showed up promptly and mine, (beer of course) was frothy and cold. The orders of tacos, Fajitas, and salad, arrived at the table hot, and in the case of the salad, cold. All were spot on. I felt as if I were on the Mexican Riviera enjoying authentic Mexican cuisine. Now, to be honest, I've never been to the Mexican Riviera, but I have been to Mexico, and have eaten their food offerings. Some of which I was wary of, but not so at the Ravenswood Riviera. Our food was delicious and the aftereffects were limited to the normal..... I think you get the drift (pun intended). "Ole" to Ravenswoods finest! Enjoy what you're about to experience. Quick Tip: Las Fajitas is two stories. One connected to the other by a spiral staircase. Throughout our meal I was watching the servers struggling up and down. If you're not there to booze it up, give em a break and sit downstairs. I'm sure they'll appreciate your choice. I wonder if they ever thought of installing a dumbwaiter.
