Serrano's Mexican Food

Best Mexican Restaurant in Mesa · Mesa, AZ

Restaurant · Mesa, AZ · Since 1979

The overview

A Mesa family tradition with century-old roots

Serrano's has served Sonoran-style Mexican food across the East Valley since Ernie and Eva Serrano opened their first restaurant in 1979. Four generations of the family have kept the recipes — enchiladas, chimichangas, green-corn tamales — and the warm, festive hospitality intact.

A staple for Mesa families marking birthdays and weeknight dinners alike, Serrano's is the region's enduring name in traditional Arizona-Mexican cooking.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Serrano's Mexican Food cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
