Cocina Serrano y Cantina – Rancho Cucamonga

Cocina Serrano y Cantina is more than a meal—it’s a warm hug from the heart of Mexico. Nestled off Haven Ave in Civic Centre Plaza, this family-owned gem radiates charm with rustic wood accents, colorful tilework, and soft string lights that make every visit feel like a celebration. Whether you’re seated in the cozy dining room or sipping a tamarindo mix in the cantina, the vibe is relaxed, festive, and welcoming to all.

The Green Enchiladas Suizas and Chile Verde Chimichanga are flavor-packed standouts, and the portions are generous enough to share—though you won’t want to. But the real showstoppers? Their mango margaritas, bursting with tropical sweetness and a citrusy kick, and the Old Smoky Old Fashioned, served with a dramatic tableside smoke effect that adds flair to every sip A. These drinks are not just delicious—they’re an experience.

Luis and Cynthia Serrano have created a space that’s perfect for date nights, family dinners, or a solo taco Tuesday escape. Cocina Serrano is a local treasure that blends ambiance, authenticity, and heart.

Luis always takes care of his customers. You can't go wrong with a Cadillac margaritas and a Luis wet burrito! This is what food quality and service should be.

Food is very good. Service was excellent. Except my husband was given the wrong drink and had to pay for something he hadn't ordered which was more expensive.

Drinks are top notch but expensive ($20-$24 depending on the drink). Food, not so much. Chicken mole looked like the cubed chicken for salads they sell in the freezer section. Taquits were REALLY greasy. The shrimp was good (grilled not the one in the garlic sauce). The Spicy marg and mangoneada were delicious. Service was great at the start but felt rushed to leave though.

I feel like this is a hidden gem in the area! We love Mexican food and based on the directions I thought it was inside haven city, but it’s actually to the right of it! The service was fantastic and the food and salsas were so delicious!! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for good Mexican food! Oh, and it was very fairly priced!!

I love this place. Food, service and atmosphere and great.

They also have great drinks.

Great little family feel restaurant. Its a nice cozy place, with bar seating, booth seating and private tables. The mango chamoy margarita was delicious and they also have those big boomba mugs for beer.

All the staff was great and friendly, and everyone cared about us by great service.

The free chips and salsa were good. A nice spicy red salsa and a flavorful pico de gallo were given with unlimited chips.

I got a huge pollo wet burrito with beans and rice. It was flavorful and a lot of food. The grilled chicked may not have been the best option because there were a few pieces that were fatty or chewy. My wife got the asada chimichanga and she said it was dry inside, no cheese or sauce.

Overall a great experience, great place for a drink, and a hearty Mexican meal. Will come back and try other items from the menu.

The food was amazing and the bar keep/ hostess/ waitress was amazing. She made a plate of cactus off menu so that I could try it and when I tell you it was amazing, I’m not lying. The food was great and I love huge frostie mug beers so this spot was built for me.

Originally went to another Mexican restaurant where we waited for 35 minutes and looked inside. It was way too many people packed in like sardines. We did a Google search and we found this wonderful place. The food taste authentic portions, large for the price and great service and clean environment in aesthetics were very pleasing. I will definitely tell everybody about this beautiful restaurant with amazing Prepared with love. Cynthia was our waitress. She is a GEM!
