    Two words: Bean. Dip. That's what basically makes this place the bomb, let's be honest.

    Disappointing experience. Messed up our order twice and took 45 minutes to get our food.

    This place is terrible. Stop after the chips and bean dip. There's nothing else on the menu worth ordering. Whatever mojo this place once had is gone. The bussers are using smelly rags. The food is not original or even tasty.

    My family has been eating at Sarrano's since I was a little girl! It's definitely a favorite. The machaca beef is so delicious. We have never had a wait and the food comes so fast! I've always had great service here too. We love it!!

    We LOVE Serrano's. We have been eating there for 20 years. The green chili is my favorite. They have great chips and salsa is good. I have to have the green chili like once a week. Addicting! Great service!

    I thought this was the chain Serrano's, but instead it's a local chain within Arizona (I think). We went with a large group of people, so that may taint my experience. The service was slow, and they missed one of our orders completely and ended up delivering it nearly 30 minutes after everyone else had their food. We had some margaritas - overly sweet and completely forgettable. We got the Del Mar sampler along with the steak fajitas. The fajitas were fine and filling. The Del Mar sampler came out two different ways. One of our companions got this (and it came out a startlingly half hour before mine did - they messed up in the kitchen) and it was blah. The fish was overcooked, and the other flavors blended into a mush. Mine came out later and the fish was done superbly - flaky soft with lots of flavor - and the rest of it was tasty. I think there are better options within the Phoenix/Mesa area.

    Good food. They did a good job remodeling this place. The new menu is horrible and does not work. Please change back to the triditional menu. The new menu is confusing and the selection is too small.

    This location was my first foray into sit down mexican food 8 years ago, and I still have warm fuzzies when the possibility to eat here arises. The bean dip is always warm and tasty, and a little different every time with varying levels of spiciness. Chips almost always hot and salted reasonably. Yesterday I had tthe spinach enchiladas dish, I'm very keen on here, with a nice cream-based sauce on top smothered in cheese. The vegetables side is great and think everyone should get it when they come here. In terms of food, service, ambience this is really 3 stars, but for being so damn consistent over the last 8 years gotta give this one a 4 just like my closer location.

    The food is delicious, but the atmosphere leaves something to be desired. If you're in the neighborhood and want the full-on experience, I'd head to Tia Rosa's.

    My family has been eating at this location since they opened. When somebody says "Mexican food?", we really mean "Serrano's?". Over the years the salsa bowls have shrunk in size and the newer menus are not as great, but the quality of the food and the customer service are always top notch. Stand out is the Chicken Serrano's Special Quesadilla. Ask for 2 or 3 bowls of their excellent salsa and cover the quesadilla in spicy goodness. Crispy chicken tacos are always dependably good. Not big into bean dip but everyone I bring here raves about it.

    Been coming here since I was young. The food has been mostly great. The service is always great and the staff is nice. Their mini appetizer platter is delicious and I usually eat it as a meal. I live in Tennessee now and absolutely miss this place!!!

    We decided to try out this place because I drive by it everyday on my way to pick up my husband from work and we were curious about it. We walk in and were greeted by a hostess who asked us if we wanted a table or booth. We opted for booth and she said it would be just a short five minute wait. Five minutes into our wait another couple walks in with a second hostess now beside ours who informed them there was immediate seating for a table and a 5-10 minute wait for the booth. First impressions are everything and it was rather irritating to hear these options when we were not made aware of them. Another five minutes later and we were finally seated. It was a long five minute wait I guess. We seriously walked by 8 booths that were empty but not bussed (remember, first impressions are everything!). Gross. We sat down and my husbands glass had lipstick rings on it. Ewww. A non-server (busser??) came and set chips and pico looking salsa and bean dip on our table without a word and left. Neither were really anything to write home about. About 5 minutes of wondering if we had a server, she arrived and got our drinks. Those came right away, but then she said she would be"right back" to take our orders. TEN minutes later....she shows up. The place was NOT busy as we were one of the 10 tables occupied out of about 35 or more (guessing), but they clearly seemed to be understaffed. It took over twenty minutes for our food to arrive. Honestly, the food trumped the slow, unstable service from start to finish. The food was amazing! I got their monthly special, something like a chimi fried with creamy sauce and ranchero sauce both on inside and out! Would we go back? Sure, but after we call ahead and get our order to go! We arrived about 630 and left around 815.... Seriously cannot stress the first impressions thing enough with this place.

    Just went today and it has definitely changed. Food is not the same. The menu is small. Ridiculous that I ordered the combo and it does not even include rice and beans. It also tasted bland. I miss the old food, menu and ambiance. The restaurant was pretty empty after 5... that tells you something. Will never return!

    I grew up going to Serranos and after 30 years their Chips & Salsa/Bean Dip remains the best I've ever had! It really is the standard that I just all salsas against. Their shredded beef Chimichangas are excellent as well. I love this place!

  • Daniel H.

    Experience was good. Mike was our server. Very generous and prompt. The other servers kept my table of 10 filled with salsa and chips and water. I got the Chile Reno. It was alright, which is why I docked a star. But overall the experience and environment and service was great.

    My wife wanted to order some food on Sunday. So i called in and ordered 2 pork tacos with rice and beans with a side of chips and salsa. The person at Serrano's told me the price was 18.00! I could not believe it....what a rip off. Had to call back and cancel that non-sense.

    Geared toward the gringo palate. Fajitas not very well seasoned. Margaritas had a "mix" taste to them. Bean dip oniony but bland. Service was friendly and decent. :-) Too many other Mexican places in the neighborhood to try.

    The only thing I can say about this place is the bean dip is good, hot food, tons of flavor, and excellent service. I always sit at the bar.

  • April B.

    I have been here several times and I think it's pretty good. I like the bean dip that they bring with the salsa but I wish the salsa was spicy! I like to go for lunch since they have a $6.95 lunch special and there's alot of choices on the lunch special. Would I say it's my favorite place? No....but it's decent and the service is always good.

    My favorite part of this place will always be the salsa. I love it! The food though, I'd agree it's so so at best. Last night was my first time here as a vegetarian, I ordered the Veggie Quasadilla, it was alright really a bit greasy from the cheese for my taste. It really was nothing more then some shredded cheese diced up tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos. It was not bad, but not great. Prices are great, we had 4 adults and a child for around $50, my husband ordered a chimichanga which he said was good, my grandmother also had the chimichanga and she enjoyed it. My mom had a taco/enchilada/tostada combo. The tostada was rubbery but everything else she said was good. Guacamole was alright, huge chunks of avocado which I enjoy but not much in way of flavors beyond the avocado. All in all we'll return again, we've been here tons of times but it's certainly not the best Mexican in the valley.

    I think that Serrano's has a lot of hype because of it's been here so long and time builds memories of good times. I on the other hand have not had that I go places for good food I have not been impressed with any of the meals I have ate at a many Serrano's locations. I would really say greasy slop along with the chandler location served me a Fat Tire draft with a lime wow come on. So I say save your money and look elsewhere.

    The food has gone downhill recently. It used to be excellent, now it's only so-so. Meanwhile, the prices have gone up. I could understand the price increase, but not when the food quality has gotten worse. Lower quality and higher prices is not a very good combination. I feel like they should go back to the way the menu used to be. Or hire back the old chef. Whatever it takes to get the quality back.

    Lets start at the beginning of the awful service. After waiting for the spill to be cleaned up from the server dropping soda on the floor, I was able to join my table. We were a party of 13, which I thought might have something to do with having to wait 15 minutes to get a basic margarita. I asked the waitress what the wait was for the 3rd time and she explained the bartender was really busy. Then I got ants in my pants waiting and I went to the bar. Guess what? No bartender. After 4 minutes he showed up to tell me that he could not serve me at the bar AND at the table. Regardless of whether it was a separate ticket. That way in case I got cut off at the table I couldn't go to the bar. Since, I had yet to have anything but water, I was obviously irritated and called the manager over to give the okay. Now, back to the table I go, the margarita is finally there. I order my food, the kids food, then the rest of the table orders theirs. It comes out, tastes good, but not all of it arrives. So, we go back and forth until it finally does all get there and everyone is starting to eat, time lapse 30 minutes of joviality ensue. Well, knowing the speed of their service I and the poor quality of their margarita, I order a vodka soda double tall with a slice of orange. My companions order their drinks and we wait. Apparently, in vein, as when the libations return with the manager, she passes out only the drinks to my companions and none to me. The manager stated she couldn't serve me because the table had already ordered a lot of alcohol. She didn't ask me how much I had ordered, or any specific individual, but brandished a receipt with the orders upon it. She didn't ask who was driving, we had two cars and neither driver was drinking. She didn't ask for anyone's ID's prior to serving us, but expressly conveyed her knowledge of alcohol service that she learned in class last week. Welp, I was having none of it. I asked for my check and told her we were done with the non-sense. The server then had to go back through each item to figure out how to split a check. My friend actually had to work the POS system to help the manager correctly divide the checks and 20 minutes later we finally hit the door for the last time. Moral of the story is: if you want to have good food, drinks, and service, then head to Serrano's and invite the staff to join you somewhere else to experience the pleasure.

    Stopped in to meet my wife for lunch. We were not impressed by the food at all. Service was good. Food was par at best. stopping back any time soon will not be on my radar.

    Well I went back and it was a little better now that they have gone back to the traditional menu. My biggest issue today is it sort of fell off my radar when they made the changes and I don't have anyone in the family begging to go there anymore. Prior to the changes I would say we would go 2-6 times a month. Now I would say maybe once every 2 months. Serrano's has become one of those places where we go if I don't feel like cooking and I don't get much push back from the family on going there. Certainly not a place everyone is begging me to go... It's more like the family will put up with it. Would I recommend it... not my first or second choice in the area, but it is close and for that if I don't get much push back it'll serve the purpose. Certainly not a glowing review.

    Not the same quality food... Is there new owners? The Shredded Beef Chimi was lacking filling. The taco meat was good, but the shell was cooked different. Chincy on the beans, rice and cheese. The best part is the salsa, especially their version on "HOT". Bill was $32.00 with tip, for three orders. Free chips.

    We love this restaurant. If you are ready for authentic Mexican cuisine, great service; a great atmospere - you will love this place too. The prices are very reasonable. Prepare for your taste buds to be tickled. We are impressed that the second generation of Serrano's are running this family business with excellence and with great dignity and respect. Please keep up the great work.

  • Dimi B.

    Very nice staff. Had to request warm chips each time they were replenished. Regular salsa was ok, spicy one was excellent. Bean burrito enchilada style was good but came lukewarm. Bean dip is below average. Sarah is the best server there by far.

    My kids wanted to go back tonight and I was pleasantly surprised at the amazing service we received after having been sorely disappointed with the service during our previous visits in recent times. We were seated with Kyle and he was very friendly and attentive. My kids even loved him. Kyle even helped accommodate my son's special requests. Being exhausted, I was especially appreciative of his willingness to make sure everyone was happy. I called the manager afterwards to compliment Kyle because he certainly deserved the recognition.

  • Bonnie M.

    Let's talk about the food. The only thing that got my pallet was the whole pinto beans, yum! 5 out of 10 on the enchiladas and rice, I don't like the box tasting rice. Service was good and friendly. Could use some deep cleaning! Won't do again, unless I just wanted a bowl of whole beans.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
