    My family has been eating at Serrano's for over 20 years, so I may have a little bias. We've visited different locations over the years, but they all offer the same big menu and we've usually had consistently good service. I really appreciate the wheelchair accessibility, with the large parking lot and room inside to move around. The decor is bright and this restaurant is always clean. They offer a full bar with great drinks, and the chips and salsa are always good. My favorite dish is the pollo perfecto, the portions are very generous. Serrano's is family friendly and offers a children's menu.

    The Beef enchiladas were quite good. Super cheesy and the sauce was spiced just right. Pollo Loco was also very flavorful. Service was great.

    Lunch!

    Talk about a great place for lunch! Honestly, for the price, the service and the quality of the food, this is one of the best lunch places around bar none. We never have to wait for our food to come out, I've yet to have a poor server and the food is GREAT! It's just the perfect lunch spot.

    Terrible service! We arrived during happy hour but weren't sure that it was still going on. We asked our server about it, and she said she didn't know. What? She didn't know? She didn't offer to check; she just stood there. I finally found some information on the table and pointed out that it was happy hour for 10 more minutes so we really wanted to order. She looked annoyed. She just wanted to take our drink orders and walk away. I don't know if she was having a hard day, was disappointed to see only two diners at the table, or if she's just a cranky person. We were able to order an appetizer, a quesadilla, which was average. But as we ate, we needed some more sour cream. We couldn't get her attention. We tried and tried with no success. She finally showed up, our appetizer finished and handed us the check. We told her we wanted dessert. That annoyed her. Um, doesn't this increase her tip? The sopapillas we got were run-of-the-mill. Certainly nothing to write home about. We will not return and do not recommend that you come here.

    Came here on a whim. Decided to order the Nachos de Camaron, Pollo Loco, and Tacos Al Pastor. Chips and salsa free at the table, no complaints on fresh salsa. 1. Pollo Loco Chicken was super tasty and the sauce has a nice cheesiness to it. What an addicting flavor from the sauce, adding to the tender wood grilled chicken. It came with rice and I opted for the charro beans. 2. Nachos de Camaron was hot, had shrimp, and had a refried bean paste and melted queso. Sloppy to eat, but satisfying flavor-wise. 3. Tacos Al Pastor. Honestly, I could pass on these. It lacked flavor umph in comparison to the chicken. I'd definitely come back for the pollo loco chicken dish. I liked the art and interior design. The place is located by Lakeline mall. Friendly, helpful service. Large filling portions.

    Overall the service was good. It wasn't too busy inside during lunch so the Ambiance was nice and quiet. The food was good not really blow you away good but still had good flavor.

    Serrano's by Lakeline Mall. Love the murals!

    The salsa was freshly made and hot, which I love. Terrific vegetarian enchiladas. I didn't think I could eat the entire plate but ... I did.

    We eat at Serranos a few times a month. I have particular allergies that make it hard for me to eat Tex-Mexican. Unfortunately the hats generally what I always want to eat! This location has just undergone a renovation and they did such a great job. The interior and exterior have both been redone. The teams did a great job. This location is right on 1431 or Whitestone depending on how long you have lived here. The chicken fajitas, chicken quesadillas, beef enchiladas, and Queso burrito are some of our favs. Special call out to the crispy beef tacos...so good! Queso is a must for us! The service has always been good and consistent and we appreciate the way they handle busy nights. It's not fancy, but it's yummy and consistent and that's good for our family! Our granddaughter highly recommends the kids quesadillas and beans!

    Half Quesadilla and Chile Relleno with two sides (refried bean and vegetable alambre) - our favorites!

    Serranos is our favorite place to get good Tex-Mex (very reasonable for takeout); food with decent portion sizes! We also love that they give you a free bag of chips (their chips are crispy good and not too salty) & salsa with your order. Yes , these days businesses stop giving away freebies or free starters (due to inflation or trying to cut their own expenses), so I applaud whoever still keeps these customs going! We never dined-in so cannot comment about their ambiance or dine-in service however every time their to-go service was fast, and super convenient as they bring the food to your car! We would order through their website (for this location only), and go pick it up. Once you're there, just call them and tell them your parking number (for to-go parking spots), then they will bring the food to your car! Easy-peasy! They forgot one item twice out of the many, many, times that we ordered from them but they provided a complimentary item the next time we ordered their food. I would say that is good customer service since they owned up to their mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, so I'm not holding a grudge over food (unless I'm too hungry I might sometimes ). The food quality is consistent. Our favorites are below: - BEEF FAJITA - 21-day aged steak which is tender and flavorful) - CHILE RELLENO (ask to have sauce on the side if you get it to-go, so the deep-fried Chile won't get too soggy (or you can just warm it up in the oven to crisp up a bit), beef fajita quesadilla filling - VEGETABLE ALAMBRE - cooked to perfection and seasoned well. You can get it as a side too (trust me, you're welcome). - MEXICAN STREET CORN - just delicious. - SOPPAPILLAS - Unless you're a psychopath, who doesn't like fried dough with powdered sugar and agave nectar? All in all, I would recommend this place and we always come back when we crave some good Mexican food.

    Review is for a to go order via DoorDash, which I will note is 20% more expensive than ordering ($15 on app for three beef "Grande" tacos, vs. $12.50 in store). Nut allergy friendly. I waited about 16 minutes for my order due to an error in scheduled orders on DoorDash, so that is roughly how long order preparation probably took. The tacos came unassembled with a small container of ground beef on the side. They added a small order of chips and very spicy salsa, which I appreciated and would've loved to have while waiting for my to go order. The portions were alright, but I didn't think the flavors were anything special. The amount of ground beef was barely enough for the three tacos and it was very oily. The vegetables tasted fresh. Having to assemble myself made me feel like I could've just picked up all of the ingredients at a grocery store.

We absolutely recommend coming here and getting fajitas or enchiladas or Barbacoa quesadillas maybe all of the above if you bring enough people because it's all delicious! The restaurant itself is very well kept and clean. It does get a little bit loud, but that's only because it's always packed to the doors. Mama Betty's has a really fun outdoor patio space and always has great music playing. It's an awesome establishment to bring families kids Little League teams, office meetings whatever you want you won't disappoint anybody you bring. No matter who we have gotten as far as the wait staff they have all been extremely friendly, kind and helpful when it came to choosing something on the menu--everybody here has a wonderful and warm personality. They really have put together a home run of a restaurant and I hope that they stay around for a long time. Last, but not least the drinks are outstanding, and everything is very competitively and fairly priced. If you haven't tried it and are worried about it being packed come during the weekday at lunch.

    Went on Sunday after Easter service because we were craving something a friend brought us during a…read morerecent meal train but felt it a bit lacking. First, the menu needs a rewrite for content and clarity. For example, buying fajitas doesn't list guacamole and based on size, single, for two and family you get more sides of rice or beans. There's no definition of how much actual meat you get and our server couldn't provide that information beyond a rough estimate. Second, the fajitas we got of family size and for two portions for 7 were not consistently cooked. We asked for medium rare and got about 25% at that with the ones in the center at a more well done. Again, the multiple tiny sides were more obnoxious than anything as it's legit beans and rice unless you want to upcharge. The cilantro lime rice tastes like nothing so skip that and go for abuelita rice which has a hint of flavor. Overall, the butter/gravy that go on the fajitas is the real winner but again a menu where you overbuy and misunderstand (that doesn't even list extras like guacamole or a simple small queso) was beyond frustrating. I would stick to them for one to possibly get a better cook.
