Faith. Family. Food.
These family values have guided us for generations, beginning with our first business in Chandler in 1919. In 1979, our parents, Ernie and Eva, opened Serrano’s Mexican Restaurants, carrying forward the same spirit — and even the original logo — from the family’s stores. Today, their children and several grandchildren proudly run the restaurants day to day. With three East Valley locations, we remain committed to fresh ingredients, Sonoran traditions, and, of course, our famous bean dip. We invite you to join us at our tables and create memories with your own family, just as we’ve been blessed to do for generations.
Phoenix Magazine Century Club
We are truly honored to be featured in PHOENIX magazine’s “The Century Club” highlighting Arizona businesses that have stood the test of time for 100+ years. To be included among so many incredible local legacies is humbling and deeply meaningful for our family. Thank you to writer Leah LeMoine and photographer Mirelle Inglefield for capturing our story with such heart. And thank YOU to our amazing guests, partners and supporters for being part of this legacy. We wouldn’t be here without you.
