Service is very good as well as the price. Nice atmosphere as well. Food could use a bit more spice, especially the salsa. I'd go back when I'm in Clarksburg. read more

We needed an afternoon margarita. Had never been here before. It looks like many Mexican restaurants do. Not crowded at all at 3 in the afternoon. We were in luck because they were having a 2.95 margarita Happy Hour special. Even though the margaritas were pre mixed, they weren't too bad. I am not a fan of the pre mixed margarita. Employees were friendly and helpful. The chips and salsa was good. Maybe next time we will try the food. Would recommend for an afternoon margarita. read more

Service was great but food was a little disappointing. Margaritas tasted like it was strait mix. Not what we were really expecting.

The service was excellent the tacos were good but a bit too spicy to taste the flavors of the ingredients. There was plenty of food for good prices. The guacamole could have been better, there was almost a 1/2 of a whole avocado in the mix. The rice was lacking flavor. The refried beans were tasty but there could have been a little more cheese on top. I also got a side of a beef enchilada. The taste was ok but it could have used more red sauce. All in all average food for average prices. read more

No...just no. The food may be mexican inspired, but it is so bland! Don't waste your money unless you detest anything near traditional Mexican food. Service is ok and price is not bad, but be prepared to be underwhelmed. read more

I grade this on the "for the area" scale. This is good Mexican food for the area. We have never long to be seated and our service was prompt. Food was all tasty and no complaints from anyone in our group. read more

I've eaten takeout from here twice while on the road. Prices are reasonable (about $9-12 for a generous meal, depending on your choices), service is very fast (we got our food in about 10 mins), food is tasty, and bathrooms are spotless. Two thumbs up! I wouldn't hesitate to stop here again, and highly recommend. Bonus: the location is not far off of major highways, so it's an easy stop to make if you're passing through. read more

It's official! This is the best Mexican Restaurant in the North Central WV area. Clean, Comfortable, and Great Food! read more

Went back a few days ago. When I ordered a salad with my seafood fajita, the waiter suggested that I didn't need it. He was right, and he was attentive throughout. Best seafood fajita that I've ever had. Good michelada. Great service. This place gets another star. 5 wouldn't make sense for a place that does no more than do a very good job of the usual. That said, I'll be back. read more

This place is amazing. The flavor is there , unlike some of the other local mexican cuisine that I find bland. The steak burrito is huge , I always take home a box. One of our favorite parts of eating here is their salsa, it tastes so good. Basically this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. read more

I got the fajitas tropical which had a mix of beef, chicken, sausage, and pineapple and the portion was very big. I asked for corn tortillas instead of flour. The meal was enjoyable. The salsa served with chips was extremely mild but tasty and there is no hot sauce on the table - you need to ask for it. The meal came out real fast but me getting refills on my ice tea was horrible. My waiter served me and I hardly saw him after that. The price was very reasonable and atmosphere was good. read more

Queso dip here is top tier. By far my favorite in the area. Staff is very friendly and the restaurant is kept very clean.

Love this place. Great food. Fast service and great prices! I drop in here about 1 time per month. I love the "spicy " sauce

Food ok...waitress terribly rude throughout . Short, porky waitress refused to bring a fork for my husband and when I asked for some salsa she ignored me, so thinking she hadn't heard I asked again and she barked at me that she heard me then returned fairly quickly with the salsa and actually slammed it into the existing bowl of salsa causing drops to fly onto the table. My husband and father are 2 of the sweetest guys I know and they told me afterwards it began when they asked for her to wait til I returned to take out drink order. Her behavior was bizarre and we did let the manager know afterwards, but between her and the mediocre food...we won't be back again. Sorry...that was just not an enjoyable visit. Too bad, the restaurant itself seemed ok.....but food was really nothing to try again read more

Not impressed. Not as good as the Charleston location. Food lacks excitement, service lacks everything especially enthusiasm. Multiple times I had to wait and ask if someone can help me. Food was just ok read more

The service was very fast and friendly! I always get a cheese enchilada and it was pretty good, not the best I have ever had,but good! Chips and salsa are warm and yummy! They had happy hour specials but I did not partake! Rice and beans were good as well! I did t give it 5 stars because it was good but not amazing. read more

Hands down, without a doubt the best fop in town. If you're unaware of what fop is, just ask your waiter, you won't be disappointed!

We stopped in to Las Trancas for dinner last weekend while driving through west Virginia based on all of the positive Yelp reviews, and this is one of the few times that Yelp has let me down. We arrived Friday night around 6:30 and it was quite busy. Since we didn't want to wait for a table we opted to sit at the bar. The bar was covered with dirty dishes, so we started moving them out of our way and bussing the area ourselves. There was a dish cloth sitting on the bar so we used that to wipe the are down. One of the employees walked past us several times while we were doing that and made no effort to help or indicate that he would have someone do it for us. Then the bartender proceeded to walk past us several times and completely ignore us. No I'll be right with you, no acknowledgement that we were there at all. He finally came over and was friendly and took our drink orders. The default size for drinks appears to be GIANT. I ordered a top shelf margarita and my DH order a draught beer and both were enormous. On the plus side, the margarita was pretty tasty and was not weak, it had a good kick. The chips were not very good, but the salsa was nice and spicy and tasty. For food, I had the burrito combo that came with a carnitas burrito and a carne asada burrito. My DH got one of their combo plates with a chili rellano, and enchilada and a taco. My burritos had an ok flavor, but I had a huge hunk of fat in the carnitas. Yuck. DH's chili rellano was almost all breading and his other items were so-so. The entire time we were eating there were little bugs flying around us and landing on our napkins and around us. I was surprised since i had remembered at least one of the reviews talking about it being clean. The worst part though was when I woke up in the middle of the night dripping in sweat and sick to my stomach. i have no doubt it was from my dinner at Las Trancas. The next time we are in the area we will go to our Old Standby - Panera! read more

Finding decent ethnic food in West Virginia is a bit of a challenge. I love the hell out of Mexican food, but not the typical Americanized Mexican fare. I'm talking carne asada tacos. Tamales. Molcajetes. That kind of stuff. Las Trancas was by no means perfect but it did suffice for good Mexican fare in my one-month stopover in Clarksburg. The food was decent food. They had pretty tasty carne asada tacos and even had my all time favorite, tamales. The tamales were a bit on the small side and I didn't really care for the flavorless red sauce but the tamales themselves were good. As far as the atmosphere, while the wait staff speaks Spanish and feels authentic, there is a lot of kitsch. The service was good and the food decent - I'd go back if I needed to sate my Mexican fix. read more

I have been here three times. Food was pretty standard Americanized Mexican. The "cheese" sauce was more creamy looking water than cheese. The "red" sauce tasted like watered down sugary ketchup. My husband had the Vallarta twice and another person with us had it the third time. It looked like a different dish each time. Service was excellent our first trip, and ok our second trip. Our server last night seemed like he didn't want to be there and couldn't wait for us to leave. My husband decided to try their strawberry margarita. He felt they must have used an eye dropper when adding the alcohol, IF they even bothered to add alcohol. I think it is time to try a different Mexican restaurant. read more

Las Trancas is one of the highest reviews in Clarksburg, so this seemed to be a good sign for good food. Unfortunately, quality always overrule quantity. We were seated immediately and got our chips and salsa just as quickly. The menu is overwhelming and seems to serve your basic foods that you would see anywhere else. I ordered a ground beef enchilada which comes with rice and beans. The rice and beans were very bland. It needed more of an oomph to it. The enchiladas were the same as well. There wasn't a wow factor, and I'm sure my Banquet frozen meals taste better. To added more flavor in my meal, I used the salsa to spread it around which made it bearable to eat. There was nothing special about Las Trancas. It's a basic restaurant with your basic food. I was a fan of their chips and salsa which makes it sad. read more

I'm going to start this off by saying maybe I don't know what east coast Mexican food is supposed to taste like. But if it's supposed to taste like the Mexican food I get back home in West Texas this is a very poor representation. The ground beef on the tacos and enchiladas was basically boiled and flavorless. The enchilada sauce tasted like a sweet marinara and not something that should be on enchiladas. The frijoles refritos where flavor less along with the Spanish rice. On the plus side the service was good and the bathrooms smelled amazing. read more

Finally a true four star Service price and TASTE You have got to try the pollo yucatan A delightful mixture of flavors The rice could be better but the rest is yummy read more

I was a long time fan of competitor El Ricon, but I will only eat at Las Truncas from now on. Both have excellent food, the difference is in how clean and inviting Las Truncas is. The atmosphere and service is so far ahead of the competitors it will not be long before El Ricon is forced to change or close. 1/2 price margaritas MON, WED....awesome!! read more

Excellent excellent excellent Service was insanely fast. Fajitas- amazing, Mexican style burritos - best, carnitas, all was very good and large portions. These folks do it well. This was my second trip here. The Polki Dot wait staff needs to come here for training! Keep up the great work. Excellent!! read more

Great food! The fajitas are the best! Always fast friendly service. The prices are very reasonable as well. Will definitely be back again!

This place is great! I have been here twice and both times it was clean and the food was fast, hot and tasted great. I would recommend for sure. read more

Service was very attentive to the table. Restaurant is clean with a nice atmosphere. Margarita was good, free chips with salsa. Would come back. read more

We have visited this location twice. I was not impressed with the service, or the way the food tasted. I probably will not go back there again. The food was very bland and although they are very busy the atmosphere was just loud and not comfortable. We have gone to other locations where things are a little different. It just seems to me that they have become just an Americanized Mexican restaurant. The prices are little steep as well even for lunch. I would suggest that you go El Rey or El Rincon which are both close by. read more

Started with the delicious guacamole, tasty! Very attentive server. My date had combination 9 and loved his burrito! My chimi hanga was terrific! read more

We found a roach in our chips!! I put them on the floor, the server comes over, I said there's a bug in our chips!! His reply, was it a roach?!!! I can't make this up! That should tell you something! read more

Las Trancas is decent Mexican. They have a lunch special taco salad that costs 5 or so bucks. This is a pretty good deal. It was definitely not the best taco salad I've ever had but I suppose you get what you pay for. It was worth the price. read more

4 of us went, all of us hated the food. Came back awhile later food was good now. Went back again food was terrible again. Won't be back.

Hot, fresh and excellent service. More food than we could eat, good price. Recommend the shrimp fajitas!

Finally! Authentic Mexican food and a great atmosphere! I eat here with my family often. Food is great, service is friendly and fast, and the dining area is clean and spacious. They also have alive weekly mariachi band! Highly recommend! read more

Not bad Mexican food. The salsa is good (very cilantro-y) and the portions are large. There's lots of seating too

So far, so good. I have eaten at Las Trancas several times with family and friends, and the service and food have always been very good. The place is very clean and pleasant. The food is quite good and get on the table quickly. Recommended. read more
