“The food has an absolutely amazing taste, and the service is great. The waiters were attentive and made sure we didn't run out of drinks or chips and salsa. The bathrooms were very dirty. The restaurant atmosphere Is pretty decent, it could be a little brighter though.Parking: There are several parking spots!“

“I thought this place would be smaller but it’s actually pretty comfortable on the inside. The bar runs the length of the dining area with plenty of space between it and the tables. Since it was my first time here I let them order for me and I got the street tacos and it was delicious. The service was great and they were really kind to me. I am excited to go back and have more. They even brought me my own big bowl of chips. Which was nice as I was by myself and starving. I couldn’t have had a better first experience at a place. Nice to have a Mexican restaurant downtown and within walking distance in all of Charleston. The atmosphere is dark and the decor is really aesthetically pleasing. It really works for setting the mood. Good place to watch the games I imagine though none were on while I was in. I will be back with guest.Parking: Parking is limited but you shouldn’t have to park more than a block away at a meter or at the parking garage located on Summers Street. I believe it is free.Wheelchair accessibility: You can get inside the restaurant from the sidewalk and sit at the end cap of the table quite comfortably.“

“Looked like a fancy Mexican restaurant from the outside and smelled good. The white sauce with the chip reminded me of a yum yum sauce from a Asian restaurant. The red salsa was nice. I got the enchiladas Supreme, way to much food more me and very cheesy. Next time I'd hold the cheese. Overall the service was good and friendly. Wish I would have went to the fajitas.“

“First time in this building since it was Suzi's. I'm very impressed I must say. The quesadilla was amazing. The tacos I got were beef and the flavor was excellent. We also ordered Cheese dip for the chips and it was some of the best I've had. The salsa was great too. We had our food faster than we ever had at any other Mexican restaurant and the service was great.“

“We were on the highway at 9:00 and didn't want fast food. Luckily, we found Las Trancas is open until 10:30! The chips and salsa are very good. I have the Enchiladas Mer y Terra (could of misspelled) which was three different enchiladas. One shrimp with crab, one potato, and one beef. This was a good dish. I didn't love the potato one but I would order the shrimp and crab enchiladas all alone! Hubs had a plate of three chicken tacos. We each had a soda and our bill was under $25! That almost never happened anymore. Next time I travel through I will remember this place.“

“I love the I love the arroz con pollo here. Everything else that we've tried is normally been great as well. I love how the queso has a little bit of a bite to it. A lot of times when we go here the staff seems like they're a little annoyed. They've never been mean or anything like that, just a little off.“
