Overall, Serrano Bar-B-Q comes across as a long standing, no frills takeout favorite known for its Peruvian style rotisserie chicken sandwiches and generously portioned sides. The chicken sandwich is described as juicy, well seasoned, and balanced with a homemade sauce, with soft inside bread and a satisfying crust, while the pork and sausage options also get praise and the potatoes are a highlight. Many reviewers call it the best or among the best chicken in the neighborhood and value remains strong despite some price rises. A few comments point to a decline in quality and service over the past year, occasional off hours or unfriendly counter experiences, and mentions that dine-in comfort can be limited in hot weather. Taken together, the focus on straightforward, comforting sandwiches, takeout convenience, and a loyal local following keeps Serrano Bar-B-Q a standout for chicken lovers in Mile End, even as expectations vary.
Le sandwich au poulet du Serrano est une carte cachée de Montréal. Seul les locaux savent vraiment le goût de ce très bon poulet. Si les touristes arrivent.... Hahaha!!! Ce ne sera plus un secret pour personne. Excellent établissement.

I've been coming here for two decades, sadly today might have been the last time. The quality & service has gone down steadily for the last year or so. If you enjoy a mouthful of cartilage, bones, & fat with every other bite then this is the perfect chicken sandwich for you.
N'essayez pas les 100 aine de planques à poulet qui ouvrent dans le quartier & qui sont hors de prix. C'est ici la meilleure adresse. Plusieurs options abordables. Sandwichs généreux & délicieux (au poulet ou au porc), poulet entier. & le tout à bon prix. En plus, ils n'ajoutent pas d'option pourboire sur le terminal.
Tout pour être heureux.
I came here 8 years ago & fell in love with the juicy pork sandwich with the cracklings. I'm back here again & it hasnt changed. Still the same, crackling, juicy & balanced out with coleslaw.
The best sandwich of your life! they serve chicken OR pork sandwiches. They prepare it like - pollo a la barbacoa - Peruvian style. A must try in the Mile end.
Une véritable institution du poulet à Montréal. Je vais à cette rôtisserie pour leur sandwiches au poulet (cuisse, évidement), leurs saucisses & les patates depuis plus de 20 ans. Il faut absolument prendre du bouillon dans son sandwich ou sur son poulet. Le poulet rôti est probablement le meilleur en ville. Pas beaucoup de place sur place, mais parfait pour emporter.
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.
