| - Oh, beans. So little and docile, yet notoriously unloved with their perpetually bad rap for people's intestinal inner-workings. (Yes, we're talking about farts right now.) So classy I know, but well-intended -- throw your windy worries to the wayside because Serrano's has got some of the best beans on the block... seriously.
First off, no it's not fast food, but it's not a restaurant either. It's similar to Baja Fresh/Rubio's fast-casual approach, but delivering higher quality food and silverware to boot. Occupying the space of a previous Taco Bell, I admit that I've driven by this place countless times and never once gave it the time of the day. That is, until Groupon. Then like a viral meme, it instantly became mine and my boyfriend's new favorite hit for Mexican food. So good! Restaurant quality eats without the restaurant price tags.
Their salsa bar is extensive and unrivaled. Hands down, they have the best selection of salsas to accompany and adorn your meal. (The creamy green sauce is a must!) If that wasn't enough, they even have a shelf full of hot sauces at your leisure. Their fresh drink station includes tamarind, horchata, and southwestern lemonade, which is a light hibiscus drink. I've tried all of them, but the sweet horchata's a great way to finish a meal.
Our first visit, we both got the classic burrito which comes with a side of rice and beans. Rice is okay, but beans is where it's at! The cashier wiped down our table before serving us our piping hot plates. The dining area's clean, plenty of booth seating, with cute beer bottle salt-and-pepper shakers. Highly recommend! Plus the next day, the beans will have worked their magic and you'll feel five pounds lighter.
