Who said Rancho Cucamonga doesn't have good Mexican food!?!? I did! But then I came to Cocina Serrano y Cantina, and they proved me wrong! I initially came in craving ceviche and a michelada. Unfortunately the ceviche was not finished being prepared, but the michelada was ready to dance. It was delicious and hit the spot! I ended up going with Camarones A La Diabla (extra spicy) It was Extremely flavorful!!! The bartender Luis was nice and attentive, and made a damn good michelada! It's a small restaurant but it has its charm. Come try em out for yourself! read more

My coworker and I were in town on business and he was dying for spicy authentic Mexican food. So we gave this place a shot. Food was delicious and plentiful with fresh salsa and pico! Server was attentive and helpful. Would eat here again 10/10 read more

Food was awesome sauce!!!!! The service was very attentive and the beer was the right temperature! Well done to Louis and company read more

Comes with 2 large flautas cut in half (so 4 pieces), with 1 tablespoon of guacamole and 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Knowing that's only enough guac & sour cream for ONE of those pieces. This is how they get you to purchase an additional side of guacamole ore sour cream for $2 each. Disappointing. As if avocados are expensive?! C'mon now. read more

This place was absolutely disgusting. Never again will I return. The food is not fresh half it tastes like it's packaged, canned or frozen pre made food. Beans and rice are terrible. The salsa for the chips tastes like the canned salsa. I ordered shrimp tacos they were tasteless. Tortillas were cold and not warmed up. Place is over priced and disgusting we couldn't even eat our food it was so disgusting. read more

We stumbled across this little gem this morning and what a great find! We totally enjoyed the Ice Cold Beer and Great Food! Very fun atmosphere and owner is extremely nice! We will definitely be back!! Chips and salsa are the best and set us off just right!! read more

We looooved Cocina Serrano! If you're in the area, you should definitely check this spot out. We came here on a whim since we were in the area and were seated right away. Spectacular Mexican food with giant portions. Chill Mexican restaurant- casual vibes. They keep the chips and salsa coming, and I love their salsas!!! Customer service is top-tier. I ordered a Cadillac margarita with a tahin/chamoy rim and it was spectacular. The Cadillac was huge and got me drunk! Honestly, the best thing for your book right there. We ordered fajitas and enchiladas. Both of our meals ended up having leftovers (especially the fajitas). The food comes out pretty quickly. Prices are good considering how much food you get. Parking is easy. read more

The food was decent I had a chicken soft taco and garden salad. The salad was a 4/5 and the taco 3/5 because the chicken was cooked a lil too well done. However, the service was good and fast, and I came at a good time because it seems like it gets crowded and they are popular for their food and margaritas. It's a good vibe inside and you can tell many people come here to enjoy. Good drinks and food. I would like to come back for a margarita for sure! Plenty of parking as well. -Marshay D. read more

Been here a few times now and the food is consistently good! If you're looking for a casual, relaxing atmosphere with authentic cuisine, here's your place. Order up a beer or mixed drink, kick back, and enjoy the fresh chips and two different salsas (pico and roasted). Our orders came out just like we wanted and filled us right on up. Service is always cheerful and friendly, like you got invited. If you haven't been, give Serrano's a try! read more

Just had dinner here on 6/13/2026. We were seated immediately, and our waiter was kind and attentive. We never felt rushed, which was greatly appreciated. The portions were huge... easily enough for leftovers. I highly recommend the burritos and a Cadillac margarita (or two). The Smoky Old Fashioned was also a hit. Overall, a terrific dining experience. Thank you! read more

We've been to this restaurant several times, and it never disappoints. The carne asada tacos are amazing -- super flavorful and perfectly cooked. The rice has so much flavor, and the portions are great. The beers are huge, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. Consistently delicious food and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Loved our first time here! We ordered their combination plates and an appetizer which helped us try their menu extensively. I would say that our favorite protein was carne asada, favorite dish the chile relleno and tacos! The service was excellent and a bonus was that they had the basketball games on! read more

We just stopped here for my Mother's Day lunch on the way home from Vegas. Firstly, thank you for offering a regular menu and not forcing us to do a lunch buffet or other set menu. The food was amazing and I've book marked this location for when we are passing through here again. It's a good size restaurant but not huge. Plenty of booths and tables. Clean. Very friendly staff and they were perfectly attentive. Our food was ready so fast. It was fresh and delicious. We tried the combinations, burritos and a taco el pastor. All of them were very yummy. Definitely satisfied my craving for good Mexican food today. The chips and salsa were also great. Two fresh salsas with one being a little spicier and blended vs the other milder, chunkier style. Lots of chips and refills if you like. We'll be back! Thank you for making my Mother's Day that much better today. read more

There are a ton of Mexican Restaurants in and around the area and I feel I have tried many of the top recommendations from my fellow Yelpers. However- how is it that I missed out on Cocina Serrano (CS). ??? This place is my new fave because the service, food and ambience just don't get any better. From my first visit here, I had a feeling I had struck gold because they were busy and judging from the interactions btwn the customers and staff, I would say they had ALOT of regulars there. CS is located in the same shopping center as Haven City Market and is actually right around the corner from it next to the Goodwill Store. The restaurant is super clean and the staff extremely courteous and friendly. They provide complementary chips (served warm) and 2 different kinds of salsa. I must warn you though- this is extremely addicting and I usually wind up filling up on chips and salsa that I take my dinner home! Speaking of- I am a super big fan of their chile rellenos, chicken enchiladas and shredded beef tacos. I'm sure everything else on their vast menu is just as delicious, but I can't get away from ordering these 3 items. CS- thank you for your delicious food and hospitality!!!! I look forward to many returns. read more

Oh this is my new favorite!!! My first experience here was a friend inviting me for a margarita and it was so delicious. then we came back with a big group and everyone enjoyed the experience. The fajitas were delicious, the service was prompt and friendly and they have a wonderful atmosphere. It's a great location as well near haven city marketplace. Definitely give it a try- it may become your new favorite Mexican restaurant in Rancho read more

Came to this restaurant today service was good, but the food was not great. Everything was plain and lacked flavor. Honestly, if I wanted food like this, I could've just had my wife cook at home, and she probably would've done a better job. The only real highlight was the chips and salsa, which were actually pretty solid. The place was clean, and they did have filtered water (big plus in my book), but that's about where the excitement ends. The bill for three people came out to $108 with tip, and for what we got, it was completely not worth it. The quality doesn't match the price I could've gone to El Torito, had better food and better chips and salsa, for less. Overall, nice people, clean spot... but the food just isn't it. Felt like a waste of calories. read more

We stumbled on this little gem of a place Saturday while out and about. The food and atmosphere were both 5 stars across the board! When you start off with great salsa, hot chips and one of the coldest beers in town you know it's going to be a great time! Fajitas were BOMB! We will definitely be back again and again! A MUST try for sure! read more

Super excited to go to this place but super disappointed. We ordered chilequiles with over easy eggs carnitas and carne asada. I don't think they know what an over easy egg is or how to serve authentic chilequiles. No crema, no cheese.. the carnitas were hard as a rock maybe a couple of days old? I mean why would you serve that? The asada was ok .. taco meat. The salsa on the chilequiles had no flavor at all. The natural ice water was good. I'm wondering if no one knows what good food is anymore. And the guy was nice. Bathroom was clean. read more

SERVICE Customer service was prompt, attentive, and respectful. The bus boy was wonderful and attended to our needs. That was very much appreciated that he went that extra mile. May I make a suggestion? When you're working at a restaurant, do not wear perfume or cologne especially a super strong one. Service 101. Both were friendly and wonderful and I have zero complaints about customer service, which is rare. LOL FOOD Food was so-so. Considering how expensive food is these days I'm being selective about where I spend my money yet still open to trying new restaurants. Restaurants get one opportunity because I'm not spending my money where I don't leave with my taste buds, fully satisfied. My friend loved her food, but I was left disappointed. Keep in mind she doesn't get out much. LOL Taco Bell was her favorite place to eat at until she met me. LOL. I'm going to show her this review because she'll get a kick out of it and say it's true. The place was cute and started to fill up at an about 11:30 AM. The place was clean and had very comfortable booths with big tables. Because the food was mediocre and the customer service was excellent I'm rating them three stars. I personally would not want to come here again but my friend said she'll definitely be back and try other food items like their chicken mole and menudo. I'm spending a lot of time in Ontario these days with a friend of mine that could use the company right now so I'll be making more reviews for the area. I have a great one for pho! I'll definitely be making that drive to that place even when I'm not visiting my friend. We've not had much luck with Mexican food just the same as in Glendora and Chino Hills. I didn't use the restroom so I couldn't give you a review and I honestly wasn't sure that I would put this review up. read more

I came here with a group on Sunday and our service was excellent. Complimentary chips and salsa is great! The give 2, one mild restaurant style and the other is a blended bursting with flavor and heat. They were both excellent! If you like margaritas, this is the place to get it! I was completely distracted and didn't get photos of our food. But I know I will be back to try more of their menu selections. read more

Wow. We consider ourselves Mexican cuisine aficionados. This place did not disappoint. The salsa and chips were perfection. Tacos, perfect as well. Beans, spot on. Rice, flavorful and fluffy.

Soooo yummy & delicious. I told my boyfriend I wanted some good authentic homemade Mexican and he did his research and we came in that same day to try. First things first service was top notch. (I've been 3 times already) I've had different people and all of them are amazing. The tortillas / chips are fresh and homemade. The salsa is the best I've ever had !! Both Green and Red. ! Red is chunky tomatoes , onions and the flavor is so good , the green salsa is Smokey and spicy but tons of flavor ! I get the chicken tacos and they are delicious! My bf has gotten 3 different items and all so good. We like to get their Cadillac margaritas and they make them on point every time. This will be a staple added into our resturaunt line up! Can't wait to eat here again ! lol ! read more

Excellent food! Loved the chunky mild salsa and warm chips. Service was fast too. Lots of TVs so we could watch games while we ate.

Stopped by on a Friday evening and it wasn't too busy, got seated right away! I ordered the carne asada burrito as it seemed to be one of the most popular items. Unfortunately I was really disappointed. The carne didn't taste like it was cooked well and there was nothing but fatty meat. Overall the ambiance is great and drinks are good though. read more

Came here in search of a wet burrito and we were not disappointed. A small little cantina with big flavors.I can only assume it is popular among the locals as the place quickly filled up during their lunch. The portions are great. We shared the molcajete and wet burruto between 3 of us and were more than satisfied, taking leftovers for another day. Highly recommend their smoked drink with their oaxacan smokey bitters. Appreciate the authentic mexican food and artwork along their walls. read more

My husband and I have eaten here twice now. The first time my husband ordered take out. He got the Chile Relleno burrito and added carne asada inside ($18.99) and I got the two enchilada entree which came with rice and beans ($16.49). With tax the total came out to $38.23. When my husband arrived home with our dinner, I was still on a conference call for work but decided to dig in. I also tried some of the burrito and it was so tasty. We finished everything! A few days later, we decided to come back again but we dined in this time. The interior had a nice modern feel and intimate setting. Customer service was excellent. We received constant refills for our tortilla chips and sodas. My husband ordered the exact same burrito and I got the carne asada entree this time. We both couldn't finish our food and had to ask for a to-go box. We also got the fried ice cream for dessert. My husband says this is probably going to be our new spot now. read more

Came here with my hubby & friends today for my birthday weekend, and for it being our first time, we were all very impressed. We were greeted as soon as we stepped foot in, a warm & kind man guided us to our table. The wait for the food wasn't bad at all either and when it came out, it was still steaming hot! ALL OF THE PLATES! Food was amazing, I specifically got Huevos con papas, loved every bit. Everyone else loved their food as well. Only thing I was kinda iffy about was there being no free refills for the soft drinks when they're already $4.49 each. I wish I was told otherwise I wouldn't have paid nearly $10 for two drinks, lol. But overall, definitely happy with our experience and will be back! UPDATE: REFILLS ARE FREE, I WAS CHARGED TWICE BY ACCIDENT. read more
