Rancho Las Trancas

Just great service always and great food

I had a fantastic time at this Mexican spot! The service was prompt and personable, with our server making great recommendations from the menu. The food was absolutely delicious—the carnitas were juicy and tender, and the homemade tortillas were a perfect touch. The ambiance felt like a cozy Mexican fiesta, with warm lighting and beautiful artwork on the walls. It was a delightful dining experience, and I can’t wait to return!

Excellent food, excellent service. It was the best Mexican food I've had in a very long time.

Wow, this place had amazing reviews so I was so excited to try it, and the food was very tasty and the chips/salsa were exceptionally good, but I was most outraged by the price I paid and the dishonesty and lack of integrity of the waiter (or the deceptive nature of the restaurant’s menu)…..

$5.00 for a can of coke, and the menu had fountain beverage price listed as $4.00, I have never paid more than $2.00 for a can. When I buy them at Safeway they are around fifty cents each when I buy a 24 pack, and I expect a markup but not a 10x markup. The price of a can was not on the menu so I assumed it would be less than the fountain …..

Also the burrito was listed on the menu for $15 but somehow the price was inflated to $17.95 on the check.

I was in a rush so I paid it and left, but on reflection I really felt I was taken advantage of and exploited and the sheer dishonesty the waiter (young guy and this was around 1:30 pm on 2/14/25) had completely ruined the experience.

Lastly, the food was served warm ish, not hot.

Massive disappointment and I had to leave a bad review to warn others of the experience. Photo is posted as evidence.

The food was terrible! Greasy, dry and tasted strange. The service was almost as bad as the food

Great food and service. I go here twice a month and I'm always pleased.

Amazing food- will definitely be back next time we are in San Francisco ❤️

One of the best most authentic Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. Since mechanical food is my favorite cuisine I've been to hundreds of places. The food was amazing and they have massive portions. The price, especially since it's located in the SF Bay area was very reasonable.

Classic, old school Northern California Mexican cuisine. Great, fresh table salsa. Been dining here for 25+ years and the food is consistently tasty. Bonus- Mariachi Bands weekly (check their website for current schedule).

NO WAY THIS ISN’T 5 STAR ALL DAY!!!!! This place was so good. Authentic! Great staff who were helpful with recommendations. A great atmosphere complete with music and dancing. It is “split” slightly so you have a restaurant in one side and a bar in the other. I would have sat in either and had a blast. The food was excellent. Steak Trancas were to die for and I would go back in a second. This really is a must try if looking for authentic Mexican food in the San Fran area!!! BEWARE - their house spicy salsa, the darker one, has a good deal of kick to it.
