The only review you need is right here — the food is PHENOMENAL! Really can’t go wrong with anything, but the barbacoa and carne asada are next level. As if that wasn’t enough, the degree of customer service is unheard of nowadays. Will definitely be coming back here on the regular!
I had a chance to try the delicious food as the food cart donated the dinner for a local fund raising event. We were so impressed with the wonderful food we thanked the owners afterwards . We loved the catered taquitos and sides and can’t wait to try more of their home made goodness!!! Someone told us that their burgers are great as well!!

Such a great little spot. Nestled in the back patio of Arbor Beer Lodge (another amazing local spot for beer brewed in-house and locally), Cocina Serrano is muy autentico and muy, muy bueno. The barbacoa is a standout, but everything pops. Run by the sweetest family of folks, full of delicious mexican food (I also hear great things about the burgers, surprisingly!), you have to check this place out. 5 stars EASY.
Dietary restrictions: Vegan options too!
Parking: Not a huge lot, but usually plenty of space.

Amazing food! Pollo adobo platter was the best authentic fresh Mexican food I've had in a long time. Happened on the food truck while seeing a show at Arbor Beer Lodge and felt very lucky to have discovered it!

I had accidentally placed an online order for before they opened. They were sooo kind and made my order anyway!! The food was absolutely delicious, everything tasted fresh and was well seasoned. I am so impressed and will definitely be back. A special thank you for accommodating me this time <3

Good and service was amazing I suggest that you guys would come and see for yourself.
We came to town to visit my aunt and needed a bite to eat before we headed over. We ran google and picked this place because it had 5 stars. This place has earned every single one of those stars. They made a delicious meatless nacho for me. My dinner guests thought the meat was amazing; one of them couldn't stop raving about the beans. The owner was so friendly, he came out and talked to us and was so friendly. You can tell the food was made with love. When we are in town we will be back here most definitely. Food was great and they treated us like good friends.
Best Mexican food in North Portland by far! Barbacoa is amazing! Everything was very fresh and delicious, highly recommend!

We ate here on the first day of our vacation in the states and it was the best burgers we had. Four weeks later, we ate here again and it was still the best burgers we had in the United States. The owners are amazing! 10/10
