Serranos Mexican food [ENCINITAS]
Mexican restaurant
👍 The dollar al pastor tacos and fish here are amazing! They are tiny street tacos but that's what the price of them should be anywhere else. I've seen places charge 6 bucks for the taos that I get here for a dollar 50. Definitely a good spot if you want some quick tacos.
