I love the street tacos here. But I got the carnitas and it was definitely good! You can't go wrong with anything here. I would come here compared to the other places in town.

My first time visiting was during tornado weather. I ordered carne asada, texas burrito, tamales, churro bites, and a to-go margarita. Had a beer with my buddy while we waited and chatted with the owner. He was super friendly, gave us a sample of his birria(which was fantastic), gave us a sample of the homemade margarita(which also was fantastic), and just was very welcoming. The burrito was as enormous as it was tasty, the carne asada was flavorful and tender, the tamales were very tasty(though slightly dry), and the churro bites had a warm caramel sauce and were a perfect dessert. 10/10 reccomend and will be back again!

We had the most amazing dinner here—truly the best Mexican dishes we’ve had all year! The Mexican pizza birria was insanely flavorful, the chicken enchiladas verde were perfectly seasoned and saucy, and the top-shelf margaritas were the cherry on top (strong and delicious!). Oh and don’t miss the churros! The service was just as impressive—so warm and friendly, we felt right at home. Can’t wait to come back and bring friends. Highly recommend!

I have ate here multiple times over the past 6 months. The owner is very friendly & helped guide me on the menu. The staff is friendly. There is not better authentic Mexican food in Decatur or Hartselle. The Birria dishes are excellent. Street tacos are superb. Chimichangas are perfect. If you want Tex Mex, don't eat at Serrano's. Eat at one of the fourteen El Portals around here. If you want authentic, delicious, hot, & made to order Mexican food then Serrano's is the best place around. This picture is after I already inhaled a street taco.

This is going be my new spot. Salsa is good and queso is really creamy and delicious. They have a lot of different birria options, and it's really good. Plus they have Mexican coke!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Serrano’s Mexican restaurant, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. I had the opportunity to try several items from the menu, and every bite was more impressive than the last. The quality and creativity of the dishes were truly top-notch. The salsa, which was served as a starter, had me hooked from the moment I sampled it. It was fresh, tangy, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. It set the tone for the rest of the meal and was an absolutely perfect start to the experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. Their warm hospitality only added to the overall wonderful experience. I will definitely be returning again and again to enjoy the amazing food and great service. Highly recommend!

I am a kitchen repair technician and was called out to work on various equipment at this location...the staff and management here are so friendly. While finishing up my work here today, Christian (the owner) treated me to lunch. A huge burrito stuffed with chorizo, rice, peppers and other veggies. It was amazing, by far the best chorizo I have ever eaten ANYWHERE!!! I also told him to give me the hottest salsa he had and he did not disappoint. With an option of the red or Verde salsa I was unable to choose a favorite and alternated thru the entire burrito heat level was perfect and complimented the meal perfectly. I can't recommend enough for you to try them out today! I just found my favorite lunch location in Decatur!
