Restaurantji's Lancaster guide: Where to find the ultimate Mexican flavors. Savor the city's best with dishes like Tacos Al Pastor, Chicken Tacos, Carnitas, and more.
“This was my first time at El Serrano, and from the outside, it looks intriguing. The atmosphere inside is nicely decorated even with a large faux stone statue (the kind you'd see in an Indiana Jones movie). The chairs are very heavy, almost clunky and not very comfortable. The dining space seems crowded, too. We did not have a reservation, but fortunately, we got seated right away. Our waiter was kind and attentive, not overbearing, which I appreciate. Our drinks came out shortly after ordering. My beer was tasty and reasonably priced. Also provided was a basket of tortilla chips and salsa, which was quite good.I ordered a Mexican dish with chicken beans and rice. When it arrived at the table, you could see cooled top "skin" on the beans, which means it sat for a while before I got it. The flavor was ok... nothing special. The price was excessive for the ingredients used.My wife ordered a salmon dish and was prepared properly to her liking.I would probably return, but I wish the prices were a bit more in line with the ingredients and the portion size.“
“Absolutely amazing tacos - as evidenced by the fact I have forgotten to photograph them twice in a row. I got lengua, salty beef, chorizo ?Love the salsas as well - delicious flavor and warming heat. MUST get with cilantro and onionThe place is small and reminds me of so many shops I used to go to in NOLA. Nostalgia ?“
“This is our favorite restaurant in Lancaster. The food is always delicious, cooked perfectly and even when we doordash it is like being there in person. Jackie was our server and she is always so sweet and wonderful. All of the staff are amazing. We love Tequila mexican grill .“
“El Paisano- Incredible food great service, quick . Honestly the food was better than a lot of the local eateries providing the same food choices. I use to live in the Mission district in SF CA. There has been no comparison s to the flavors and amount of food for price until now. Amazing!“
“Authentic Mexican taco truck!! It's tucked in a parking lot on water street so just keep looking. Very close to a beer distributor and a park. Only open Friday - Sunday, and they do sell out--you need to make a plan but definitely worth it. Limited menu, great prices, authentic flavors and presentation. Great sauces available and Mexican sodas too. Service is friendly and fast. There are a few picnic tables under an awning but most people grab and go. Street parking is pretty easy in this area. Lots of regulars around, it's a popular place at a great price point. Pretty certain it's cash only, come prepared. Worth the adventure!“
“I have ordered food from here multiple times and it is always soooo good! I just had a bit of a mix up on DoorDash (which was no fault of the owner’s), and he immediately called me to fix the issue after he saw I placed a new order through DoorDash. Phenomenal service, friendly staff, and I will continue to support this business!“
“? SEASONED JASMINE RICE BOWL WITH YAKITORI CHICKEN: Imagine a cozy corner, a bowl cradling a symphony of tastes. The spotlight? Charred chicken thighs—tender, succulent, and whispering secrets of the grill. But wait, there’s more! The supporting cast includes garlic-cilantro-lime crema, a trio of flavor ninjas dancing on your taste buds. And the grand finale? Asian sesame slaw, a crunchy chorus that adds texture and zing.Here we are, savoring every bite of this rice bowl masterpiece. Because good food? It’s our ultimate treasure, my friend! ?Bon appétit, fellow flavor explorer! ?✨“
“Amazing food, very flavorful. The drinks are strong and delicious. The service was quick, with attentive staff. The restaurant is quite visually appealing. It is however quite loud and can make conversation a little bit difficult.Kid-friendliness: Would not bring my children here.“
“Delicious! I stop in and get carne asada tacos frequently. They are always running special offerings of elote, birria tacos, and other delicious-looking things as well, but I'm a purist! If you want a good, traditional corn taco, this is the spot. The burritos are excellent, too.My only critiques are that the bottled drinks are overpriced (you can get a Jarritos up the street for half the price), and the chicken isn't very flavorful.“
“You can always tell that Hispanic food is authentic when the people working there speak Spanish. It’s always impressive to me that they also speak English, even if it’s not perfect. Thank you for such excellent food and for trying so hard to communicate with your customers effectively!“
“First time I ordered food from here. It was such great quality food for a good price and I could definitely feel the love made in the tacos. Also great customer service and a friendly atmosphere. I have to say there service was beyond great cause I ordered four tacos and they forgot one and the lovely lady on the phone said I got you and asked if I was able to drive back and I said of course I can. When I got there she apologized for the mess up and I told her it’s fine it happens she gave me the taco and a soda on the house for the mess I told her I couldn’t and she insisted so I thanked her and went back to work when I got back she didn’t just make one taco she gave me another. I just want say thank you for such lovely service and food. You have a loyal customer for life. Must go to in Lancaster and next time I’m going to get a side of rice cause it looked amazing, they also have some pretty sweet combos too.“
“This is a frequent spot for my bf and I, we absolutely love it. I always get the burritodilla and he gets the classic roburrito. It’s sooooo good! It’s our favorite place to get a quick dinner. Staff is always friendly and it’s very affordable!“
“WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE! The general manager was pleasant and paid for me and my friends meal! She then also gave us free coupons for next time! Like what!! Not to mention the food was delicious! They stuffed my quesadilla. I will definitely be back thank you so very much!“
“As this was my first visit, I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance of the restaurant. We were seated quickly and promptly greeted by our server. She-Kathy- explained several entrees, brought our drinks and graciously took our orders. Our meals were outstanding. The manager stopped by briefly and we chatted. I truly enjoyed our time there. I will return, thank you so much.“
