Inside Serrano's New Look: Transformed by Clay Imports and Michael Hsu Office of Architecture

We Take You On A Visual Tour of Serrano's Stunning Remodel

By Clay Imports

If you've had the chance to step inside a Serrano's Cocina y Cantina recently, you've likely seen its vibrant atmosphere and stunning decor. Known for its delicious Tex-Mex cuisine, Serrano's has been a popular spot for foodies and families alike throughout Austin.

Now, the restaurant is in the process of renovating its locations to enhance the dining experience even further. One of the standout features of the renovated spaces is the beautiful Mexican-inspired tile work, which adds color, texture, and personality to every corner of the restaurant. We're thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with the talented team at Michael Hsu Office of Architecture to bring Serrano's vision to life with our handmade tiles. In this blog post, we'll take you inside the Serrano's location at Southpark Meadows Shopping Center in South Austin and show you how our breeze blocks and tiles were used throughout the restaurant's interior.

A Colorful Welcome: A Striking Mural Sets the Tone

As you walk into the restaurant, your eyes are immediately drawn to the stunning mural that greets you. The mural is a beautiful display of bright, bold colors that light up the entire space. The turquoise blue tiles that line the wall add a touch of sophistication and class, while the lighting adds a new level of presentation that elevates the mural from just being a simple wall to a showpiece that demands attention.

It's not just a place to grab a delicious Tex-Mex meal, but an experience that immerses you in an atmosphere of art and creativity. The mural sets the tone for the rest of the restaurant, inviting you to sit down, relax, and take in the vibrant energy of the space. It's an impressive work of art that not only complements the overall aesthetic of the restaurant, but transcends it, creating a space that is both inviting and unforgettable.
