5 Best Mexican Restaurants near Ripley

“Ah, Las Trancas Mexican Restaurant located at 157 McGraw Street, Ripley, WV is an exceptional place for great Mexican food.

It’s been a while since we had visited so we did just that. We were there about 2:45 on 8 September 2026. Prompted seating as soon as we walked through the door. The waiter was smiling, polite and very quick to get our drinks and tortilla chips out to our table within seconds.

We ordered our meals and took the time to talk about our day. Looking around the restaurant it was well kept, tables were clean and chairs were neatly arranged, floors were very clean and tidy. The men working there were dressed neat and respectful. A very professional atmosphere indeed.

Our meals literally took between 7-9 minutes. We couldn’t believe how fast the kitchen was. The food looked great! Hot plates, steaming food, the aromas were intoxicating. Wonderful job to the very ones who prepared such good looking dishes.

We had iced tea, Texas Fajitas, and the lunch Chimichanga. Oh, plus at the beginning we had very warm, crispy and fresh tortilla chips and a very good salsa.

We had to get a “to go” box because we were not able to eat everything served.

Just wanted to say thank you for a great overall meal and place to enjoy my wife’s company and wonderful place to eat in the town of Ripley WV.

So if you are in the area and want some great Mexican food, please come to Las Trancas Mexican Restaurant.“

“Kid-friendliness: They have coloring pages and crayons sat out to entertain children and adults while waiting or dining in. This is provided by the staff I'm assuming since they aren't Taco related pages. Way to think outside the box.“

“My bf and I came during a roadtrip and we put in kind of a complicated order of 6 items (like we removed sour cream, and changed beef to chicken, etc.) and they liiiiterally got everything perfectly right and even labeled it with a pen. It was so fire. Peak Taco Bell. And it was clean inside“
