Using the same Serrano's logo as their clothing stores, Ernie and Eva opened their first restaurant in 1979 just behind the clothing store in downtown Chandler. Shortly after, they decided to close their last clothing store and put all their efforts into the restaurant business. Their efforts were prosperous, and a few years later their son, Ric, joined the Company and opened their second location in Tempe.

Today, the Serrano family owns and operates 8 restaurants with 7 Mexican food locations in the Southeast area and Brunchie's, a breakfast and lunch restaurant in downtown Chandler:

(Note: In June 2004, a community article appeared in the Arizona Republic that described Serrano's as a downtown Chandler icon.  Click to read more about the key choice in going from clothing racks to bean dip...)
