For the price this a great option in the down town Toronto area, it's clean and simple, the service is fast and courteous, and the food is fresh and healthy. Not too much more you can ask for, hard to find a better bang for your buck either.

The name and owners have changed. It is now called "the Portuguese Chicken Guys". While I'm not really a fan of the new name, the food and service have stayed consistent. The prices are great (you can get a whole cooked chicken for $10) and the BBQ Chicken is as good and as salty as ever. I don't really mess with any of the other things in the warming trays, it all looks kind of old. Stick with what's fresh.

Whenever I pass by Oliveira's storefront and see the various meat items shooting steam out of their wazoos, I crumble.
Dardana is so spot on with the juice factor of the rotisserie chicken. The flesh slipped down my throat like juice from the gods.
But above all this, it's their fish sandwich that gets me. It's nothing special, really, just fried fish coated with hot sauce and lemon, but it's pretty magical, especially when I want something quick and don't want to spend over $5 for a meal.
As the guy beside me said on my first visit: "Way better than McDonald's, huh?"
Totally.Listed in: Toronto: Meals under $10! (And…

1) The Brazilians here thought I was Portuguese, so I liked them off the bat.
2) We got a rotisserie chicken, a huge order of black beans, and salad for 19.99.
The chicken is especially good with their own mixture of hot sauce (although I'm sure the main ingredient is Frank's Red Hot).
They serve a lot of fried fish, too. It tastes like KFC, though- so I'd stick to the chicken. Ribs look good- but who knows how long they've been laying around.

These guys are just plain awesome. They have been saving me from certain starvation for about 4 years, being members of the "less-than-a-block (away)" club. But it is about so much more than that.
Their rotisserie chicken is some of the juiciest I have ever tasted. If you're lucky, you'll get one of the ones that's been roasting for hours(? well, a long-ish time, anyway), tender and falling off the bone. The smell will likely pull you in from about three doors down, and Swiss Chalet will never taste quite as good again. Apparently they also sell seafood, and even (according to their business card) rabbit! But I am a creature of habit, so I must implore you to have a whole (but quartered) chicken, and sides of parisienne-style potatoes and rice. Every. Single. Time.
The super-friendly family who own the place are Brazilian, and proudly display their national pride in a wall-hung map and shelves of imported products. A particularly lovely result of this? Coke in a glass bottle, friends.
