Serrano Bar-B-Q

Mile End is rich in chicken options, from Portuguese to southern fried to kebabs... but Serrano is a no-frills takeout homestyle classic, & with its Peruvian rub (secret family recipe!) its tender rotisserie chicken stands alone. Absolutely hands-down the best chicken in the neighbourhood. Prices have spiked in recent years, but it's still totally worth it!

Good for the price! Can't complain it's better than fast food.

This lowkey rotisserie spot is not very polished but is standing on a 40+ year legacy that keeps customers coming. Honestly it kind of reminded me of the Portugese rotisserie spots I used to eat at in North York, Ontario with it's down-homey atmosphere. Menu is focused on sandwiches & plates featuring their expertly prepared meats. I went for the chicken breast sandwich, which was packed with a nice portion of meat. I was impressed by how nicely the sandwich held together despite it's size, it was expertly prepared. The price-to-portion ratio at this place is righteous, enough to wave off the lack of comfortable seating. Service was good too.

The food is okay for the price but nothing crazy in terms of taste

Serrano Bar-B-Q has been a Mile End institution for 40 years, & for good reason. They are best-known for their roasted chicken sandwiches, but the sausage sandwich & the roasted pork ribs/belly are my personal favorites.

The food isn't fancy or trendy, but it's delicious, reasonably priced, & the staff are very welcoming. If that sounds good to you, then I highly suggest stopping by!

An absolute Neighbourhood classic. Great prices & premium quality. The chicken thigh sandwiches a go to for many people but personally, I think the sausage sandwich is the mega hit. I hope this place is around forever.

This place is really great! I've had both the chicken breast & thigh sandwiches, & neither were dry. Definitely get it all dressed, it helps to cut through the heaviness of all the meat & bread. I recommend asking for the (demi-glace?) sauce they have for the chicken. Their prices are amazing, especially for the area. The sausage sandwich is also super great. Obviously not too many options for vegetarians, but they do offer a sandwich made with their roast potatoes- however, I think the potatoes might be cooked in chicken fat.

Excellent sandwich place. I come here often for lunch. The meat is juicy & tender. The toppings are plenty & flavourful, the price is really good too. This is known as a chicken place, but personally I think the roasted pork is the best thing on the menu. Get any sandwich with sauce/gravy. Only gripe is service is a bit slow since they shred the chicken/chop the pork to order. Sausages & potatoes are good too. I usually do takeout since it feels like an oven in the store & it's not nicest storefront but in the winter, it's probably nice & warm.
