Serrano’s Mexican Restaurants, which celebrates 42 years in the restaurant industry in December, will be spreading cheer this holiday season through the sale of its tamales and kickbacks on gift card purchases, in addition to featuring three specials through Dec. 6.

Locations are:

• 1964 E. McKellips Road in Mesa, 480-649-3503;
• 1021 S. Power Road in Mesa, 480-854-7455;
• 22703 S. Ellsworth Road in Queen Creek, 480-987-0192; and
• 141 S. Arizona Ave. in Chandler, 480-899-3318.

“As a family owned and operated local business, we appreciate the movement to support local businesses this holiday season and year-round,” Ric Serrano, CEO of Serrano’s Mexican Restaurants, said in a release. “We’re offering our customers several options to help them buy local, including the return of our best gift-card deal ever.”

Beginning Black Friday through New Year’s Eve, Serrano’s will be offering its red beef and pork or green corn tamales by the dozen. Assorted party trays of mini chimis, flautas, chicken and cheese rollups and jalapeno poppers are also available to order in increments of three, six or nine dozen. Orders for pickup must be placed 24-48 hours in advance at one of Serrano’s four locations via phone or online.

Customers may purchase gift cards and get a kickback — $5 for every $25 purchased. While quantities last, those who purchase a gift card in any denomination will also receive a $5-off bonus to try Pronto, Serrano’s new fast-casual Mexican food concept, when it opens in Tempe early next year.

Serrano’s is committed to offering unique monthly specials, and this month’s specials (available through Dec. 6) feature some popular favorites:

• Cinnamon Skrewball: A mix of Skrewball peanut butter whiskey, Rumchata and horchata. Served with a cinnamon sugar rim.
• Boss barbacoa flautas: Two housemade barbacoa flautas served with roasted tomato salsa and garnished with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, queso fresco, habanero pickled red onions and housemade crema.
• Caramel flan: Back by popular demand. Housemade caramel flan served in a jar topped with whipped cream, caramel sauce and churros.
