Review Summary

Serrano Bar-B-Q is widely recognized as a beloved Mile End institution, celebrated for its authentic, Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken and generous sandwiches featuring tender pork and sausage. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its consistent quality, affordable pricing, and the convenience of taxes being included, often highlighting the delicious potatoes and the flavorful, juicy meat as standout elements. While the venue is primarily a no-frills, takeout-focused counter spot with limited seating, its welcoming atmosphere and long-standing reputation as a neighborhood staple make it a go-to for locals. Despite occasional reports of inconsistent food quality or service experiences, most visitors view it as a must-visit destination for an unpretentious, high-quality meal in Montreal.

Good sandwich chicken, not a WOW though

Habitué des rotisseries portuguaises à Montréal, je m'attendais à un poulet savoureux & juteux. Hélas, pour 20 $, j'ai eu un poulet rikiki & sec, sans jus & sans sauce. Vu la concurrence, Serrano a intérêt à améliorer sa recette, parce qu'actuellement, il y a beaucoup mieux dans le genre dans la métropole.

Some of the best sandwich I've ever had.

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.

Même recette gagnante de sandwichs de poulet ou porc péruviens sans l'ambiance latino

Je viens au BBQ Serrano depuis que je suis jeune. J'ai toujours adoré cet endroit & je n'ai jamais eu de mauvais service… jusqu'à la semaine dernière. Je suis arrivée à 7h43 pm, l'horaire affiché indique une fermeture à 8h. Je peux comprendre qu'on refuse de servir à la dernière minute, mais ce qui m'a dérangée, c'est que les poulets étaient encore là, visibles & prêts à être servis. Ce n'était pas un manque de nourriture, mais un manque de volonté de servir.
J'ai essayé de parler avec eux simplement pour poser une question sur le lendemain (si vers 17h il y aurait du porc, car je finis à cette heure-là), & leur signaler que l'horaire devrait être mis à jour, surtout que j'avais conduit 30 minutes pour venir. Ils m'ont ignorée, ont jamais voulu ouvrir la porte pendant que il y avais 3 employers & javais juste une question, alors qu'ils m'entendaient clairement. Franchement, c'était humiliant!!!
Je ne connais pas ces nouveaux employés jamais vus avant mais je les ai trouvés froids, désagréables & clairement pas accueillants.
La nourriture reste excellente comme toujours, mais ce genre d'expérience me donne clairement plus envie de revenir. C'est dommage pour un resto que j'ai toujours apprécié & que jencourage depuis a cause que cest ma culture ! BREF A suivre

An excellent chicken sandwich. If I get the opportunity to go back I think I'd get just a little more mayo & mustard, but it was excellent.
