With the shut-down of in-dining services about to enter its second month, many Chandler restaurants are offering take-out meals.
Serrano’s Mexican Restaurants also has a program that helps patrons support first responders.
Its “Burritos for Badges” donation program enables people to donate at serranosaz.com/shop toward a fund that Serrano’s is using to provide meals to essential workers. Customers may also choose to donate over the phone at 480-857-0343.
Serrano’s catering department will coordinate food deliveries with contacts at police departments, fire departments and hospitals in Chandler, Mesa, Tempe and Queen Creek.
Anyone who makes a minimum $10 donation will receive a digital coupon for a free cheese crisp valued at $7 with purchase of an entree.
Additionally, Serrano’s has curbside pickup and delivery, so customers need to call when they arrive and remain in their car unless they are using a delivery partner. Restaurant hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Serrano’s is offering five to-go $39.99 family packs as well as a $7.99 quesadilla pack, $5 burritos, and regular to-go meal options and $8.99 lunch specials. Jarred salsa ($6.99), hot sauce ($5.99), fresh tortillas ($3.99/dozen) and shredded meat (16 oz. for $14.99) are also being offered for purchase.
Serrano’s also recently added the option to purchase to-go margaritas and bottled domestic/imported beers via curbside pickup. All orders come with a complimentary serving of chips, salsa and bean dip.
For every $50 in food or gift cards purchased, you will receive a $5 kickback card to use at a future date. Serrano’s is at 141 S. Arizona Ave., Chandler, 480-899-3318.
The Sicilian Butcher is offering a full Italian-style Easter to-go feast for family gatherings of five or more.

Cost is $38 per person, minimum five people.
