Went to Las Trancas Mexican restaurant in Ripley with Kayla Beth Fields and the kids, Deacon and Calliope. We had a great dinner! I ordered the Shrimp Taco Special w Ice Water w Lemon, Kayla had the Nacho Supreme Special w Extra Cheese and Ice Water! Calliope wanted a cheeseburger w fries and she told the waiter herself and Decon had a child's portion of Chicken & Rice covered in Cheese and they ordered a small Cheese Dip for their chips! They had the colorful chips w the salsa which was very festive!! Very nice dinner!! Calliope did very well!! She had us all waving our arms like Butterflies and Tweeting like birdies, playing helps her eat!! Heck, whatever it takes!! Our waiter was amazing!! He came back numerous times to check on us! Definitely going back!! read more

didn't get what I asked for and the taco tortillas weren't even the right ones but the cheesecake wasn't that bad but smelled like dirty dishes read more

Great food and great service! It's our go to place when we don't want to cook! (We're there at least once a week! lol). It's clean, the staff go out of their way to make sure your dining experience is great! We love it here! read more

Stopped in for dinner during a road trip. Turned out to be an excellent choice. The service was amazing. Steffani was awesome - very much on top of things. The instant my water was gone she swooped by like an eagle snatching a fish and promptly refilled my water. Oh, and the chips....they almost beat us to our seat. I know it's not the case but it seemed like there was someone stationed there with chips and salsa in hand...but they are just that fast and efficient. Both my daughter and I were very satisfied with our meals. I highly recommend. read more

The Las Trancas dip is so delicious. It's rich and meaty. You could easily make it meal all to itself. It's a blend of ground meat, pico, and cilantro mixed into white cheese dip. The chicken fajita burrito was cooked with tender chicken pieces, seasoned well, and packed with veggies. Same for the chicken chimichanga. The tortilla was fried just enough to be crispy without it being overly done, and it was stuffed full of juicy shredded chicken and veggies. read more

I had the strangest chilies rellenos I've ever tried in the Western Hemisphere. Starting from the outside in - the sauce was reminiscent of BBQ in taste and color (see photo). The coating was appropriate for a corn dog and the cheese was that gooey county Fair nacho cheese. I took about 5 bites trying to find a redeeming one, but failed. My husband's pollo asado was ok, but too salty. My house salad had more green peppers and chunky sliced onion than any other ingredients. read more

Ate there Sunday between Christmas and New Years. I ordered fish tacos, asked waiter if fish was fried, he replied yes. However, the fish was not fried, it was grilled and not cooked thru. My daughter ordered a beef combination, no cheese in burrito. No lettuce or tomato either. Beef had no spices not even salt. Terribile lunch. Manager said he was going to give a discount for the meal, he took 10% off my meal. Real disappointed. Will not be back. I don't need Mexican like this. Taco bell is so much better tasting. read more

Stopped here off the highway and it was delicious! Warm chips and fresh salsa. Great, friendly service. Gluten free friendly. I had the scrimp tacos- very fresh and yummy! So happy we stopped! read more

Waited 7-8 minutes for someone to come to the front desk for a carry out order. The guy that finally showed up then proceeded to argue with me that there was only 1 item in the order instead of 2. Even when I said to just forget it and walk out the door, he kept trying to stop me arguing saying I was wrong. I could SEE THE BAG on the bench with my order. There was clearly more than a single item in it. read more

Ordered fajita nachos.... The food seems like it's like leftovers from random dishes that they piled on to a plate. Chips were old. Not impressed at all. read more

Every time we come to Ripley we eat here. The food is consistently good but found flat draft beer and has been in the last two visits, had to send back. We're not beer snobs but do expect draft beer taps to be maintained properly. Not significant enough to drop a star, just a forewarning. Margaritas always a great attitude adjuster. Staff always friendly and eager to please. read more

Love this place I'm almost there every day love the food and the service is really good bathrooms are clean and nice seating area the food comes out fast but sooo good chips cheese and salsa so good I wish I could give it a hundred but I only can give it a five also kid friendly read more

Was traveling from Florida to Ohio and stopped for lunch, turned out to be a great decision, food was great and reasonably priced, and wish I could have tried the margaritas but still had 200 miles to drive for the day. read more

Las Trancas Mexican Restaurant - the dining area - Mexican Near Me - Ripley, West Virginia

Good, fresh food. The prices are reasonable and the portions large. There isn't anything particularly unique on the menu and it's typical Mexican food. They do a good job here and, with few options locally, I definitely recommend. read more

We love Las Trancas but this one in Ripley is an embarrassment to the name and the company. I heavily salt my chips when they come out so we asked our waiter to bring an additional basket. There were four of us eating so there was going to be no problem for us to finish a basket of chips. When our waiter refused to bring out another basket of chips I asked to speak with the manager. When the store manager arrived to our table he was quite arrogant and condescending. He also refused to bring out more chips but instead, he himself brought out an empty basket and said to us "there ya go, that's the only basket that we're going to bring you". Not certain why the chips are such a big deal at this restaurant but it cost them around $75 or so in meals and drinks because we decided to leave. I wouldn't go back here if it was free! And I don't recommend anyone else stopping by either. I'm sure we've all experienced wait staff that was lass than par but when a manager acts like that I'd hate to think of how low his standards may be for everything else in that place. Especially the kitchen. read more

We've lived in WV for a year and have tried dozens of Mexican restaurants all over this state. Coming from Arizona we were spoiled with the best Mexican food on the planet! When this placed claimed to be "authentic," I figured, here we go again, another flop! Las Trancas has the best food this side of Scottsdale! We could'nt believe it!!!! I had the best shedded beef enchiladas I've had in my life! The rest of our party's meals were also incredible! Our bill for 4 of us was around $50 and we all went home with leftovers! If you're tired of being disappointed, give this place a try!!! Thank me later... read more

They need to work on there English and they got my order wrong twice and my drink wrong once.

Steak Fajitas were awesome! Service was great and we received our order quickly. Dining room and bathroom was clean.

The friendliest and most attentive waitstaff. Great food and fast service! Lots of food and lunch specials!!

They were not answering phones so went in to place an order no one would take the order and the staff were extremely rude. This was several hours before close and they were not extremely busy. We used to love going here but now we refuse to go there because of the staff. read more

Was so happily surprised by this restaurant. The food was truly amazing, even the chips and Salsa were a step above with warm chips and excellent salsa, the Cheese dip was great too!! The portion size is large. We got the Texan Fajitas and the Burrito Diablo and couldn't stop mentioning how incredible each bite was! Prompt service, clean Atmosphere, and very reasonable prices! Long menu with so many options, I like the pictures which is how we decided on what to order! Only con side is it's 2 hours from where we live, but I know I'll be back! read more

Love this restaurant. Always love their food. So good! Love the cheese dip definitely get it! read more

Excellent flavored food with the right amount of spice. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food came very quickly. Great place!

Grand combo plate of taco, chicken enchilada, Chile rellenos, rice & berms was yummy. Couldn't finish it. Price was right too.

The place is clean and nice decor, but I ordered the steak fajitas and couldn't eat them. It's as if the cook forgot to put any seasoning in n them at all. They were beyond bland, couldn't be saved by toppings, it was very surprising. Perhaps just a bad night but it wasn't good. read more

This establishment failed to accommodate a group of 16 people directly after opening" due to a different section" this isn't the first time this restaurant has failed to accommodate a larger group and I do not recommend the food, service, or any factor of this business to anyone. read more

Solid 5. Food was tasty and priced right. Service was quick and kind. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

Restaurant is clean and service is great. Servers are very kind and helpful. The fajita dish was greasy & Cancun quesadilla was not very tasty. Wish they had the option of drinks like horchata, agua de jamaica, agua de piña etc. besides that experience was good. read more

God, lol where do I start with this place? The food is always so good! I'm a vegan now so I can't everything I usednto eat here but I still go sometimes with my mother. The chips and salsa are amazing. The Cheese dip is amazing (I can't eat it anymore even though its my weakness) the Guacamole isn't the best but its good! The staff is super nice and they are nice enough to change my oder around i need to veganize it a bit. I gave 4 stars because the staff can be a little slow some times. We sometumes have to wait several minutes before getting drink orders and the chips and salsa. But other than that I love this place. read more

Not impressed AT ALL. Nice atmosphere but that's about it. Salsa is SUPER thin, no chunks and hardly any flavor. We were rushed, like the waiter was too busy to take our order. Walked off while I was still ordering and never even got part of my order. Mexican Style Guac comes as a bowl of stuff you have to cut up and mix yourself. They brought it the same time as my dinner. Nachos Supremos is anything but. Very small, hardly any chips at all and had to use the chips from the basket to basically build my own nachos too. Buddy ordered Queso and didn't bring it until halfway through he was done eating. I should have went to Taco Bell. I def won't go back. read more

Family Favorite!!!! We love it! The food is very delicious and the service with a smile!

We were a bit hesitant having read mixed reviews. However , Food was excellent, served quickly, staff could not have been more attentive Great price lots of food. No am saving this since we travel through here at least twice a year. Well worth the stop! read more

Good food, price, service and CLEAN! Came thru on business from Charlotte, NC and This would be my go to Restaurant if it was there. read more

It was a cold windy evening and apparently some places in Ripley were without power and we were hungry on our trip back to Michigan. So of course this restaurant was very busy and like far too many restaurants they were short staffed. Luckily while we were told it would be at least 30 to 40 minutes we were seated in 15. I ordered a draft mexican beer and much to the surprise of our server I landed up with a really huge glass of nice cold beer which I almost finished. But it was the food that we ordered that result in this review as it was amazing, starting with the queso dip. We ordered items we dont usually get...I had this incredible pineapple fajitas...with such tasty chicken and sauce and pieces of pineapple all served in half a pineapple. It was scrumptious as was the seafood chimichanga that my husband had. No doubt we will make this a regular stop on our trips from michigan to North Carolina. Thanks thanks thanks. read more

This restaurant has great service food, and decor. The best part is the cleanliness. Definitely plan to eat dessert while you are here. I recommend the fried ice-cream. read more

We stopped in on way South from Michigan. Excellent food and service. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful food and service compared to others in the MOHV. Shrimp or fish tacos are incredible and not an excessive amount of food

I like the atmosphere however sometimes I think the food needs more spice. But the staff have been delightful

My wife and I are huge fan of Las Trancas. We eat here often they're very quick friendly and clean.

This was the last stop before Cleveland on the roadtrip back from North Carolina. We were starving and had a goal of not hitting up any drive through fast food joints, so this place was a great discovery when we were getting desperate. Even though the sun was getting low and it was pretty breezy, we requested to sit on the patio. It was a perfect evening and I think we were the only people that realized this... Anyways, the important part: food. My flautas were awesome and the presentation of the food was impressive, as TexMex can sometimes look like sloppy piles of mush and sauce. The chips were crisp and the salsa had a nice spice to it. My friend was pleased with her combo meal and I think we were both pretty happy with our last roadtrip meal. Thankfully, we didn't suffer any digestive repercussions or poisoning as stated in another review. read more
