Los Angeles Restaurant Guide

Our three restaurants, in Santa Monica, Downtown Los Angeles, and West L.A., serve up some of the best fine Mexican dining you'll find in Southern California.

The Serenata restaurants take pride in their Mexican style seafood. There is no compromise on freshness of the food and health consciousness, well prepared with the best ingredients and olive oil, and absolutely no lard. On-site, homemade tortillas and desserts are baked daily by our pastry chef Marco Rodriguez (Jose's son).

Jose Rodriguez is a man with an exquisite taste memory. He has been called the "Maestro de Salsas" in Los Angeles, particularly of sauces for seafood. Currently, there are more than 30 salsas in his repertory. His exquisite slightly sweet mole (best with chicken) is so delicious it is almost like dessert.
