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.

My husband says this is probably going to be our...
