On July 4th we were greeted with an amazing surprise: 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.

For years, the Serrano family has proudly supported Shop with a Cop, led by Cindy and Jim Hill of AZLEOS—the first “Collaboration and Fundraising Hub” for Arizona law enforcement and the community. This heartwarming event pairs officers with children for a joyful holiday shopping day. Serrano’s fuels the fun with breakfast burritos and was honored with AZLEOS’ 2024 Community Policing–Community Heroes Award. Donations are always welcome to help brighten a child's holiday!

After 44 years, we permanently closed our Chandler location at 141 S. Arizona Ave. on June 1, 2024. This decision was not easy, but rising costs and increased competition made it necessary. Our Mesa and Queen Creek locations remain open, and Chandler staff will be offered jobs there. We are deeply grateful to our customers, employees and community for decades of memories.

We’re honored to be an inaugural recipient of the Bobby Kramer Spirit Award from the Downtown Chandler Community Partnership, named for a beloved local mixologist. The DCCP recognized the Serrano family for nearly two decades of feeding the homeless with St. Vincent de Paul and for continuing safely through the pandemic. Our “Burritos for Badges” program was also highlighted for supporting first responders. We’re truly grateful!

Hamilton High junior Eliana DeTata wanted to support her community during COVID-19, so she created a GoFundMe that raised more than $2,000 to feed nightshift workers at Chandler Regional Medical Center. She partnered with Chandler-based Serrano’s Mexican Restaurants and their Burritos for Badges program, purchasing 200 First Responder burritos plus chips, salsa and bean dip for an early-morning delivery. You can still support her effort or donate directly to Burritos for Badges.

We are very honored to be profiled by Frontdoors Media for some of our charitable outreach here in the community in which we live and work. “We would not be where we are today without the support of our community, so it is essential that we give back,” says Ric Serrano in the article which is you can read on page 58 of the March/April 2021 issue.

We were thrilled when PHOENIX Magazine named us Best Family Meal and later featured our Pollo Ranchera recipe. And we’re honored yet again with a recent Happy Hour shout-out from managing editor Leah Lemoine, praising our care for dine-in and to-go guests and our true family-business feel. Note: Some items mentioned are no longer available on the Test Kitchen Menu, but can be found on our Happy Hour or regular menu. Thank you for your understanding!
