| - So after our horrible escapade into the taco shoppe down the road from CSN, the fiancé and I decided that we needed something more refreshing. So we head into Serrano's, which would have been our first choice had they not been closed yesterday (Monday).
We walk in, find a quaint little dining area made up of brick and culture, and IT'S CLEAN. The decor is everywhere, but it's not in your face, and that's great. The floors are decently clean and the tables are spotless. It's a late dinner at 7:00pm, and they have a steady flow of customers (mostly picking up and taking home). The music is low, but not so much that it's inaudible. I believe you go up and order, then take a seat and wait to be served (otherwise we totally did the whole dining thing wrong, lol).
Vanessa helped us at the register, and she was wonderful. I mean WONDERFUL. She was patient, considerate, and incredibly professional.
The salsa bar was gorgeous and very decorative. They add a little twist on what you typically see in these styles of restaurant. The jalapeños and carrots were divine. The salsas were each distinct and delicious (the only one we did not try was the green). They bring you the traditional basket of chips, which were tasty and obviously homemade. A great filler while we waited for our food.
I ordered the Albondigas Soup (I'm a sucker for home-made meatballs). She tells me immediately of the semi-long wait time for my soup. Fifteen minutes, no problem. I appreciate her letting me know. They had it out in less than ten. What a broth. Warm, flavorful, incredibly filling and just...fucking awesome. It's the only way I can describe it. The meatballs were the perfect consistency and size. The pairing with the broth, squash, carrots, onions, and parsley was wonderful. I added some Tapatio (I love everything spicy) and it was by far in my top ten soup list.
The fiancé ordered a shredded beef chimichanga. The meat was so tender that it could melt in your mouth. The exterior was crispy and warm, and the surrounding beans and rice were, quite possibly, some of the best I've ever had. Sauce on top was flavorful, and the shredded cheese actually tasted fresh.
Onto the flan. I loved it. Plain and simple. Next time I intend to order it without chocolate sauce, but, nonetheless, very rarely do I find great flan. Presentation was a little out there and excessive, but the taste was all there.
The horchata was so smooth, milky, and wonderful. I asked Vanessa if it's made in house, and, to my absolute delight, it is. I damn near cried when my cup broke and some spilled out. But Vanessa was awesome, and grabbed me a replacement cup to prevent more waste. A tad bit spilt on my phone, and she asked me if my phone was alright in the process of helping us clean up my mess. I wish we'd had a five or ten on us. Would have given her a larger tip. Next time, I suppose. Because we're definitely returning.
