About this listen

After midnight in Waco, most of the city hums in neutral. But at Las Trancas, people line up under glowing yellow bulbs to order tacos, burritos, and nachos in a cracked parking lot while a fan kicks napkins across folding tables and the smell of sizzling meat hangs in the air. Orders bounce in English and Spanish; a ranchera drifts from the radio as tripas, pastor, and lengua hit the grill.

A late-night taco run becomes a meditation on the quiet communion of the sleepless because every town needs one place where the lights stay on a little longer than they should—and in Waco, that place is Las Trancas.
