    Flautas combo plate
    HL L.

    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.

    Sad ass nasty ass tacos.

    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.

    Fajitas

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Carne asada tacos
    Jennifer C.

    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!

    Chile Relleno
    Danielle C.

    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!

    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.

    Steak quesadilla
    Loree C.

    We literally drive out of our way to come here. Service is fantastic, welcoming environment & the food! Hands down my favorite chile rellano anywhere & the Mrs swears by their steak quesadilla. The meat is delicious, prime and sooo good! Thank you Luis! This spot is a GEM!

    Chile Rellenos

    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.

    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.

    Hard as a rock carnitas and flavorless chilequiles.

    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.

    Old fashioned.. must have!!

    Very tasty food.. super authentic Best tortilla soup and chips are freshly made. Drinks are amazing Highly recommend this place. Service was fast and quick. Good place to have small gatherings.

I ordered a few platters including the taco and the loaded nachos. The price is fairly generous, probably closer to what you might get at a takeout than a traditional sit down restaurant. There's actually a lot of seating available whether inside or outside. The staff was all pretty nice and welcoming as well. If I asked for anything like extra plates or utensils, they usually greeted me with a smile. As for the cuisine, it was okay. I think it is suited for a particular taste. Most of the meat we ordered was well done. Well done but not overly dry. More like a crunchy texture. That was true of the asada, carnita, and chicken. If you are used to your meat a little bit more rare or juicy, then this style may not be for you. I thought it was fine but it just depends on your taste buds. I really wanted to give the place 4-stars or even 5. The staff was good, food was fine, and prices all affordable but the place had one problem. Initially, I wanted to eat outside and enjoy some summer breeze with my family. However, there were too many flies attracted to our meal. I was not sure whether it was due to this restaurant or its neighbors. Unfortunately, the flies followed us inside during our meal as well. It may be a non-issue in the colder months but it was a noticeable nuisance during our meal.

Our hostess was kind and checked in on my reservation. The food was a mixed bag - the house sauce was a bit bland, but the habanero sauce was delicious, with just the right balance of tanginess and heat. My friend ordered a plate of nachos for the table, which came with chicken that, oddly, didn't taste like chicken. It was almost as if it had been cooked in the same area as the fish, but it was still edible. Our server, Priscilla, was very attentive, checking in frequently and keeping the good beers flowing, even on a busy game night. The carnitas were good, but we'll try something else next time. The atmosphere was great, and Mexico's win was a bonus - we might be back to catch another game.

The way it was going to be prepared was with spring mix, which I don't prefer. I asked for a spicy skinny margarita, and they were able to accommodate me for that as well! Yummy! The reason for the four stars is because the parking lot is extremely dark and sketchy looking. Unfortunately, I don't feel safe outside there. I feel like it could easily be fixed with an investment in better lighting outdoors.
