Bee Eye Why See* - Latin American/Tex Mex

When Anthony told me we were going to be moving to York City I was excited to find a few new places. But there is one category of food that just can't be superseded in the Greater York area and that is Mexican food, or to be more specific Latin American food or Tex Mex. To get the best Tex Mex around you need to head to El Serrano out on East Market St (or their Lancaster location but that doesn't fit with the theme of this blog).

You really can't go wrong with anything on El Serrano's menu which is heavily inspired by the Peruvian heritage of the family who owns and operates both locations. Some times I opt for a basic dish like the Los Burros you see above, which are fantastic burritos or I go with the ever popular  chimichangas, enchiladas, fajitas and tacos.

My personal favorite dish at El Serrano is the Chuletas de Puerco which you see on the left here. Its two marinated pork steaks that come served on a sizzling fajita plate. Also on the hot plate is a quarter of a pineapple which tastes amazing when it is seared. Also, rather than having rice and beans on the side it comes with a little step-pyramid looking scoop of white rice that would seem more at home in a Chinese restaurant than a Tex-Mex place.

If you really want to experience the best of the York location be sure to go on Thursday nights so you can hear the incomparable Dante who starts to sing and play music starting at 6 PM. When he whistles "The Girl From Ipanema" it makes my food taste even better. There is no other rating I could give El  Serrano other than the full 4 Paws!
