Large fall out of the shell burrito
Brian R.

Well here is what I know, food is authentic. I brought a colleague from CT based upon the local plants here. We did walk in and did almost walk out. This is a true Mexican restaurant, even my coke was from Mexico. Well bottom line get through the entrance and food is totally awesome. Don't be afraid to go here. I'm from the south and colleague from Connecticut and she liked the food. He had the burrito and I had the chalupa and it was great. No beers here so you know. Food awesome

The menu

A small hole in the wall restaurant that always bbq their marinated chicken on the weekends! We always get the grilled chicken and sometimes the steak quesadilla. They're both delicious!

Tiny hole in the wall with great food. They don't speak a word of English but don't let it stop you! I pointed to my selection on the menu and was rewarded with one of the best carne asada sandwiches I've ever had. They had lots of barbecues out Front but they weren't going when I was there today all in all a wonderful place

¡Burrito bisteca sín frijoles excellente!

Serrano's Mexican - Pizza Birria

Excellent service. Absolutely great food. Slightly more pricey than some other Mexican places, but…read morethe food is really great. We do pick ups often and they're always at great temperature and great quantity. And always correct on pick up orders which i always greatly appreciate with carry out

I saw the great reviews of this place, especially for the birria tacos, which are one of my…read morefavorite dishes, and knew I wanted to try it out. This restaurant started as a food truck but saw enough success that it's now opened two brick and mortar locations, one in Decatur and the other in Priceville, so that seemed like a good indicator. I went for a late lunch after work around 2 PM a few weeks ago. The restaurant has a small, slightly bumpy/torn up parking lot and a curiously large step up into the restaurant -- watch your footing, as I almost fell forward trying to walk inside. The restaurant is small. You enter and are greeted by a nice bar area; go down the hall and it has maybe 5 tables at the end, along with restrooms. It did take me a while for anyone to offer me seating. It seemed like only one person was waiting tables. Though he made eye contact with me a few times from the serving area down the hall, he didn't acknowledge me until I walked down the hall to look around and see if anyone was available to help me. He then asked if I had a carryout order (I think -- pretty limited English on his part and even more limited Spanish on mine), and I said no but that I'd like to sit and eat. After that, he promptly seated me and took my drink order. Chips and salsa came out after that, and my food order and eventual check were timely, though I'd never really describe his demeanor as particularly friendly. Not the end of the world, but I wish I'd felt more welcome. The chips were solid - warm and fresh - but the salsa wasn't especially flavorful but for a strong cilantro vibe. I was starving, though, so I munched happily enough until my order arrived. I got the quesabirria combo, which comes with two quesabirria tacos and rice and beans. These tacos tend to be filling and many combos elsewhere come with three; personally, I think two is plenty, though I'd say the price is a little higher here than comparable spots I've tried. The rice and beans were exactly average...or, they averaged out to average, lol. Rice slightly below average (low flavor, a few slightly undercooked/crunchy bits), beans slightly above (pleasantly smoky), and so on and so forth. I was primarily here for the main event: birria tacos. And unfortunately, despite the rave reviews I read, I thought these were really disappointing. They didn't skimp on meat, at least, but...despite being generously portioned, the meat didn't have a ton of flavor. It was a little chewier than the silky, melting beef I've had at other places. But the worst part was they were overwhelmingly - OVERWHELMINGLY - greasy. Don't get me wrong, birria is by nature a rich dish and I wasn't expecting to get up and skip away home after a light meal, but... It was so greasy that the taco shells, which are usually pleasantly crispy after grilling, were for the most part sopping wet, even on my first bite. Every time I picked a taco up, fatty juices/grease spilled from the edges. And when I squeezed, a stream practically ran onto the plate. You'd think at least with this much fat/grease they'd be more flavorful, but they really were not a flavor bomb. They weren't inedible, but I must admit I left feeling disappointed and having not adequately fulfilled my craving. I know there are lots of well-regarded Mexican spots in Decatur, so I suppose I'll keep trying. Hopefully, I came on an off day. I wish this restaurant the best and I hope their success continues; even though it was not for me on this visit, it's clearly popular with others.

Went for Lunch. The menu is very extensive and I enjoyed having pictures for all the meal items and…read moreI can see how it would help people try things they might have been unsure about. It was a little weird to see the price for cash vs cards listed for each menu items. However, I guess it would be better to learn about the card surcharge before having to pay. The prices are very reasonable, imo. I wasn't a big fan of the chips, it seemed to thick for myself, but I enjoyed the salsa. However, my party disagreed with myself and enjoyed the chips, so I think it was just a personal preference issue. I had the Tacos Pueblo and choose a mix of different meats for the tacos. The meal was very good and the quantity vs price was very generous.

Solid Tex-Mex spot with fun themed decor and birthday shenanigans. Hot thin tortilla chips, medium…read moresalsa, melty spicy cheese sauce, fresh guacamole, and a huge menu of options from Enchiladas to Tamales to Burritos. Candi was on top of our questions and service even as we had some special requests. The free chips and salsa and a large ordered guac held us until the food arrived. The Pacifico draft beer was served in a huge mug, and the water was nearly as large. The veggie fajitas were served sizzling and steaming with more than just peppers and onions- mushrooms and broccoli included too with all the regular sides. Most portions can be shared or leave you with leftovers.
