Another super authentic spot in downtown Yakima, located a couple blocks from front street. It's…read moreright on the main drag so you may have to park a block or so down, but the walk is super quick. Upon entering I was enthused to see how bright and colorful the place is! There's a lovely mural on the wall that makes for an excellent backdrop to some of really good food. They've also got a huge collection of small clocks that are akin to the dashboard hula girls of yesteryear - though these are mostly Mariachi band gentlemen with an occasional dancing sunflower! Hilarious! The food here, like most places in the valley, is hyper authentic- like grandma is helping make it, authentic. I had a few tacos and the carnitas de puerco - a delicious pork dish with the meat slow simmered in some delicious spices! I got mine to go so the presentation was off from dining in, but the total experience was spectacular! The meat was perfectly tender and the flavor was right on. They have a number of other special preparation meat options and I look forward to trying them soon! Tacos run about $1.50 each and the specials $7.95. It's easy to get out for under $10 and things come out pretty quick. All in all, another great Mexican spot in the valley!

There's a reason this place is a destination, rather than a side quest. I live 92 miles and 2.5…read morehours away, and I make that pilgrimage a few times a year, much to my wife's consternation. "The freezer's full. Stop bringing home tamales." She's an infidel, a blasphemous Pharisee whose ignorance of the one true tamale is a point of ridicule. Tamale's are an art more than a science. My grandmother used to shut down her kitchen for two weeks each year to make tamales, which would fill a chest freezer for her husband to feast upon for lunch throughout the year. And when we went to visit, he'd share his hoard. To a point. They're both gone now, but I no longer have to wait for a family trip. Also, I can drive myself, so there's that. I make what I call The Tamale Run, a six hour drive that starts with a drive to lunch in Union Gap, a cooler filled with ice and a stack of frozen tamales, and ends with a saunter through Mt Rainier National Park. There are far worse ways to spend the day. And before you go and say, "Hey, you're spending half your day at a park," understand that part is the side quest, the icing on the cake if you will. A bonus I enjoy, but would gladly live without. So long as I get my tamales. Most tamales are dry. The masa tends to lose too much moisture when steamed. The result is typically a crumbly mess that lacks flavor and makes me wish I hadn't bothered. Los Hernandez tamales are moist, rich, and filled with consistent flavors that take me back to the trips of my youth, when my biggest concern was running out of AA batteries for my Walkman (I'm old). So do yourself a favor. Make the trek. Enjoy the journey. Savor the tamale. Ignore the other voices who tell you not to waste gas driving that far for something you could get closer, even if the nearby offerings are crap and unworthy. Tamales are more than just a food; they're a religion. Go, pray at the temple. Take your burnt offerings and some cash. Tell the priests and priestesses that you have come to kneel before Zod, or whatever your faith system commands of you.

Hello, Are you looking for a good and delicious place to eat? Well you found it. Let me tell you…read morehow I found this awesome place. My wife and I were looking for a new place to eat. We like trying new places. It seems that if you tried one Mexican restaurant you have tried them all. Well that's not true because depending what state of Mexico they are from the food might be a little different in taste. Don't get me wrong they are all delicious. So, my wife and I drove around and could not find any new places and decided to go to one of our favorite places Jessie's Teriyaki, but to our surprise there it was with balloons and signs El Serrano. We looked at each other with joy because we never been there and it was opened. I could go on about the wonderful hospitality the awesome service, and the delicious food. This place is a Jem. Go try them for your self, you will not be disappointed. They have made me a life long customer.

My usual place for a torta has been closed down for renovation so i've been looking for a replacement. I think i might have finally found one that's almost equal. The food was pretty decently priced: 2 sopes and 1 torta for around $14-16 and 3 tacos (2 lengua and one pollo) for $6.50. Wait time wasn't that bad with how packed it was when we got there. The avocado salsa was amazing! All the food is really delicious and nice portions as well. Guys were nice when taking orders. Cash and card/contactless payment accepted. Outdoor seating next to truck as well. Definitely a spot to come back to!
