Columbia, formerly Wright's Ferry, is a borough (town) in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 28 miles (45 km) southeast of Harrisburg on the east (left) bank of the Susquehanna River, across from Wrightsville and York County and just south of U.S. Route 30. The settlement was founded in 1726 by Colonial English Quakers from Chester County led by entrepreneur and evangelist John Wright. Establishment of the eponymous Wright's Ferry, the first commercial Susquehanna crossing in the region, inflamed territorial conflict with neighboring Maryland but brought growth and prosperity to the small town, which was just a few votes shy of becoming the new United States' capital. Though besieged for a short while by Civil War destruction, Columbia remained a lively center of transport and industry throughout the 19th century, once serving as a terminus of the Pennsylvania Canal. Later, however, the Great Depression and 20th-century changes in economy and technology sent the borough into decline. It is notable today as the site of one of the world's few museums devoted entirely to horology.

After trying to find a unique and eclectic restaurant in downtown Lancaster on a super busy Friday night, we gave up and searched for alternates â and found el Serrano as a highly-recommended Peruvian and Latin restaurant not far from downtown. What we found was much more than weâd expected!Situated in a spectacular building, this is no chain Mexican restaurant. The architecture seems authentic, and thereâs a central courtyard where we enjoyed a very talented guitar player. Moving inside, we opted for dinner at the bar, where service was very attentive and the noise level allowed us to enjoy a conversation with ourselves and other patrons over dinner.The food was very well prepared, and served hot. We enjoyed the Gordo combo platter with a cheese enchilada, perfectly prepared pork chop, and chicken fajitas, along with an order of fish tacos. A side of pico de gallo added the spice I wanted.All in all a great find on our vacation swing through the area. If weâre ever back this way, El Serrano will be a must-visit!

Not well versed in Mexican food except when I get something I really like. I will be going back here for my next mex fix! I ordered a special to bring home which the very sweet server said offered a little of everything. It was delicious and filling. Very reasonable prices and fast but made to order. I brought also a container of the red sauce. Not, I like hot food but this was much too hot for me though very tasty. The store is great to bring other items home as well.
