One of the most popular items is the Sopa de Mariscos (Seafood Soup). It’s a rich and flavorful broth brimming with fresh seafood. You can get a bowl for $29.99.
They also have a taco salad, which is a classic. I’ve also seen a grilled chicken salad on the menu sometimes, but availability can vary. Ask your server what the salad specials are!
Serrano’s Especialidades: House Specialties
Every restaurant has those dishes that define it, the plates that keep people coming back again and again. At Serrano’s, we call them our “Especialidades,” or house specialties.
These dishes aren’t just thrown together; they’re carefully crafted to showcase the chef’s creativity and use the freshest, most exciting ingredients we can find. You might see a unique spin on a classic Mexican dish, or something completely new that you won’t find anywhere else.
For example, our Camarones Serrano features plump shrimp sautéed in a spicy garlic butter sauce with roasted poblano peppers and onions, served over a bed of cilantro-lime rice. Or try the Pollo con Mole Poblano, tender chicken simmered in a rich, complex mole sauce made from over 30 ingredients, a recipe passed down through generations.
Our Especialidades are more than just food; they’re a taste of what Serrano’s is all about. They’re what makes us, well, us. So, take a look and find your new favorite!
Fajitas
Fajitas are a very popular Mexican dish, and they’re almost always on the menu at Serrano’s. You can expect a sizzling platter of grilled meat – usually beef, chicken, or shrimp – and sauteed vegetables like onions and peppers.
What makes fajitas so fun is how they’re served. The platter is delivered to your table with a stack of warm tortillas. You get to assemble your own tacos, filling them with whatever combination of meat, veggies, and toppings you like. It’s a great way to customize your meal!
Serrano’s typically offers a few different meat options for their fajitas. You can often choose from steak, chicken, shrimp, or a combination of two or even all three! They’ll also usually have vegetarian options, substituting the meat for a larger portion of veggies, or even grilled portobello mushrooms or tofu.
Your fajitas will also come with the traditional accompaniments: rice, refried beans, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo. Don’t be shy with the toppings! That’s what makes fajitas so delicious.
Las Enchiladas
Enchiladas are a classic Mexican dish. They start with corn tortillas, which are filled with, well, almost anything you can think of. Cheese, shredded chicken, ground beef, beans… you name it, someone’s probably put it in an enchilada.
Once the tortillas are stuffed, they’re rolled up and covered in sauce. The sauce is really where you can get creative. You might see a chili sauce, a creamy cheese sauce, or even a sour cream-based sauce. Then, the whole thing is baked until it’s bubbly and delicious.
At Serrano’s, we offer a few different kinds of enchiladas. Our cheese enchiladas are simple but satisfying, covered in our signature red sauce. We also have chicken enchiladas with a creamy green sauce that’s a little bit spicy. And, of course, we’ve got beef enchiladas, smothered in a rich chili gravy.
No matter which enchilada you choose, it’s going to come with a side of rice and refried beans. It’s the perfect classic Mexican meal!
Beef Entrees (Carnes)
If you’re a beef lover, Serrano’s has you covered. They’ve got a range of beef dishes, cooked in different styles and with a variety of sauces and toppings.
One of their most popular options is the Carne Asada. It’s grilled steak, usually thinly sliced, and seasoned to perfection. It’s simple, but when done right, it’s amazing. You might also consider the Steak Ranchero, which is steak smothered in their homemade ranchero sauce. The sauce is made with tomatoes, onions, peppers, and a blend of spices. It’s got a little kick, but it’s not overwhelming.
Most beef entrees come with the standard sides: rice, refried beans, and warm tortillas. You can use the tortillas to make tacos or just sop up the extra sauce. It’s all good.
Poultry Entrees (Aves)
Serrano’s doesn’t disappoint when it comes to aves, or poultry. The chicken dishes on the menu are prepared with authentic Mexican spices and flavors, and most come with the traditional sides you’d expect.
For a simple, satisfying meal, try the Pollo Asado. This dish features grilled chicken marinated in citrus juices and spices, giving it a bright, zesty flavor that pairs perfectly with the smoky char from the grill. It’s served with rice, refried beans, and warm tortillas, so you can build your own tacos or enjoy the chicken and sides separately.
Another popular option is the Chicken Mole. This dish features tender chicken simmered in a rich, complex mole sauce. Mole is a traditional Mexican sauce made with chili peppers, spices, chocolate, and other ingredients. The mole at Serrano’s is a carefully guarded family recipe, and it’s the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. Like the Pollo Asado, the Chicken Mole is served with rice, refried beans, and tortillas.
Seafood Entrees (Mariscos)
If you love seafood, Serrano’s is a great place to find it. They offer all sorts of dishes featuring fresh ingredients and, of course, the bold flavors that Mexican cuisine is known for.
You’ll find several different kinds of seafood on the menu, including shrimp, octopus, tilapia, and other fish. Each is prepared in a variety of ways, giving you lots of options to choose from.
Some of the seafood dishes to consider:
- Shrimp Cocktail. A cool, refreshing starter, perfect on a hot day.
- Grilled Fish Tacos. Simple, yet flavorful. The grill gives the fish a nice char that complements the fresh toppings.
- Camarones a la Diabla. Feeling brave? These spicy shrimp are not for the faint of heart! “A la Diabla” means “deviled,” so expect some serious heat.
Whether you like your seafood grilled, fried, or sautéed in a rich, complex sauce, Serrano’s likely has a mariscos dish to satisfy your craving.
Vegetarian Options (Vegetarianos)
Serrano’s has several delicious meat-free options if you’re vegetarian or just looking to cut back on meat.
Some of our most popular vegetarian dishes include:
- Vegetarian Fajitas: All the sizzle and flavor of our regular fajitas, but packed with a colorful medley of fresh vegetables.
- Cheese Enchiladas: A classic done right! Warm tortillas filled with melted cheese and smothered in your choice of sauce.
- Bean Burritos: A hearty and satisfying option, stuffed with refried beans and cheese.
Please let your server know about any dietary restrictions or preferences when ordering, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. We want to make sure you have a fantastic and flavorful dining experience!
Taco Platters
