| - Since our favorite Mexican restaurant recently closed we've been on the hunt for a good replacement. Last Sunday after church we tried Serrano's.
They open at 12 on Sunday so we decided to hang out 'til they opened as we also had a Groupon. Unfortunately, a few cars had already pulled in then left before they opened.
It's a cute eatery with creative decorations, nice salsa bar and plenty of hot sauces to indulge in.
The menu was also extensive but I decided on the ceviche, shrimp enchilada and some shrimp street taco's to take home for later. Initially, they said they didn't have any shrimp which would have been a deal breaker but the server quickly recanted saying it would just take about 15 minutes to prepare the shrimp.
My Hubby got the steak topped french fries, enchiladas and some street taco's for later as well.
The food was very enjoyable, generous portion of shrimp & meat along with a great sampling various salsa from mild to extra hot. Besides the sliced jalapenos they even had habaneros! YAY! And with the Groupon it was an excellent value.
Unfortunately, when we returned this past Sunday, things didn't fare so well. As the clock ticked past 12 about 4 other cars that were in the parking lot left. Once inside, another couple left because they didn't have menudo although there was a sign on the counter and on the menu. This time we were only getting some street tacos - some to eat there and some to take home for later. Upon ordering my shrimp tacos I was told there was none prepared however, if we didn't mind waiting it would be about another 15 minutes. So, obviously, they don't come in early for any type of food prep. We had almost finished our street tacos when the server came and asked if we wanted her to start preparing our taco's to go. Seemed odd since the prior week they brought everything out together. Needless to say, after a bit and getting a bit anxious to get out of there, I went to the counter to see how much longer our order would take. I was told our order would be out shortly, and she very politely apologized saying they were having a very bad day. That's understandable as we all have them - just hate seeing a small business losing patrons because of it. Anyhow, as we were trying to leave, the exit door stuck. We tried turning the lock and everything. STUCK. Asked the server for assistance and after a bit of a struggle she was able to force it open. That's when I also noticed the big long crack in the glass. Guess they really were having a bad day. Hoping everything smooths out for them as the food, at least what we tried, was enjoyable.
