I was pleased when Chris chose El Serrano’s for her birthday, because we had never been there – and I love trying new restaurants.
Tuesday Evening, October 29
The above photo and next paragraph are from the internet – just to give you an idea of where we ate:
It’s authentic Latino American cuisine, and by its very name, it represents more than just Mexican food. While “El Serrano” refers to the Serrano pepper in Mexican cooking, it also means “Men from the Andes” in Peru. So, you’ll find varied entrees, appetizers and desserts, including delicious family recipes from Peru.
The view to my right – a beautiful courtyard where there were tables for dining.
When I got up to take a picture, the waitress offered to take one with me in it.
I chose shrimp for my fajita meal.
It was a delicious mix of shrimp with onions, tomatoes and peppers served with a house combination (Lettuce, Pico de Gallo, Cheddar cheese & sour cream) and 3 flour tortillas.
The men also chose fajitas, but with strips of beef.
None of us needed dessert, but it had been a while since Cerwin had fried ice cream and he couldn’t resist.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to have dessert – until the waitress gave the listing and mentioned flan.
I didn’t have to hear any thing else. It had been years since I tasted flan, and I knew it would not be very large or filling.
We had a great evening.
oooooh ~ I just LOVE shrimp fajitas . . . and flan too ~ sigh ~ 🙂
Both were delicious.
That looks like a Southern California building style! And the meals look delicious. Happy birthday to Chris!
Yes, it felt like we were in southern California or Mexico.
Delicious food, although I don’t see anything Peruvian. Peru is known for good food in South America.
There were Peruvian items on the menu. However, none of us chose those. 🙂
Everything looks so yummy! I hope Chris had a wonderful Birthday!
We had a wonderful evening. Her birthday is actually tomorrow – Nov 8.
