During my most recent visit, I got a fiesta bowl, which consisted of chicken filet, rice, mixed greens, tomatoes, and sour cream. The food was fresh and tasty. I'm particular, I enjoyed the salad dressing, but the chicken and rice were fantastic as well. The restaurant wasn't very busy and the staff prepared my meal very quickly. I'll definitely be back!

I noticed there was both a Nando and Barcelo's location nearby my home so we decided to give Barcelo's a try. We got there and the restaurant was pretty empty with our choice of table. We were unsure whether we order up front or a server comes to take our order but a server came shortly to get us drinks and our order. We decided to get the Half pack which comes with half a chicken, 2 chicken kebabs, 4 Whole Wings, and 2 Regular Sides. We ordered the rice and corn as our sides. The chicken were a decent portion and was marinated in a nice sauce but the side peri peri sauce at Barcelo's isn't as good as Nando's. Kebabs were juicy and the wings were nice, big, and juicy. We left full and I had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. For $38.99, it was pretty reasonably priced to feed 2 people plus leftovers. Both my friend and I would definitely go again!

Attention chicken lovers! One of my new favs!…read more This place is a must on a Sunday which is the only day they serve their $19.50 PCOV Portuguese Piri Piri chicken with potato crisps and salad. The chicken is flavourful and juicy and is great value as it's essentially half a chicken. Potato slices were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Olives, bread and packaged butter are complimentary. On their appetizers list, we had a delicious Deep Fried Cod Cake ($9), and $19 Clams steamed in white wine, with garlic and cilantro. If you love garlic, the leftover sauce is perfect for dipping your bread in. Both are recommended starters. Highly recommend a Sunday visit, if you love Nando's or interested in trying flavourful Portuguese chicken with South African spices. Just a warning it may not be the quickest meal. The room was packed on the Sunday I was there and the friendly server was hard to contact for additional requests. The restaurant is open to the public and not just for paid members.

Omg y'all... back in California and suddenly craving that Canadian peri-peri... Probably b/c we…read moredon't have a single reasonable halal peri-peri option out here. Whomp whomp! Let me take it back to the start though. When I first discovered this trip to Canada was actually happening and just within a few days, the highlight for me was: NANDOS! Wait for it.... Only to find out (after checking the website and calling around) that none of the Vancouver Nando's are halal. Boooooo! Heartbreak on sight y'all. Found this spot on a website somewhere and verified the locations seemed nice on Yelp! Since the trip's primary purpose was taking my dad to visit his old buddies from Uganda, the itinerary was more "play it by ear". After verifying ALL three locations of Barcelos Flame Grilled Chicken are HALAL, I was glad we ended up with this one! The vibe was nice with warm colors, authentic artwork, and simple, friendly service. We ordered a family-style plate and everything was tasty. I tried the medium peri sauce on the side b4 placing the order which had great flavor but was a little too hot for me, so I switched to mild and was given medium and hot on the side! Salad was cold and crisp as it should be! The fries were surprisingly good... maybe it's the Canadian potatoes doing their thing. Mom already said she wants to try the chicken burger next time. I'd definitely return for the wings. The intention was to come back for those wings and burgers but we sadly we didn't get a chance, no worries a window of opportunity to come back eh? Quick tip: There's a parking lot in the back. If you're visiting from outside Canada remember you pay by scanning the barcode on the wall!

The place is quite big and clean with 3 sections for dining in. The staff is friendly and the food usually takes less than the time they mentioned. I like the lunch time promo which has a cheaper pricing. The rainbow bowl is my favorite, followed by the 1/4 chicken leg. I still find the chicken breast a bit dry so I don't care much for that and the chicken sandwich. Sometimes they will offer samplers of their new lemonade drink or a glass of water when I was waiting for my take out order. Do check the take out bag as they did forget the side I ordered. Only discovered it was missing when I got home and had to call them. They knew that happened as they saw my side still in their kitchen after I left so they told me to either go back to get it or have another side for free if I go back another day. Good service recovery.

It is a type of pepper that comes from Africa as per one of the Nando employee that I met at one of the Nando's Yelp event I went to a year back (Not at this location). Everytime, I come to Nando I always order their chicken. I mean that is what they are known for. I usually have them make my chicken with the garlic and herb sauce while B would have his Extra Hot. If you want the best deal get the whole chicken and share it. If you like specific part of the chicken then just get that specific part of the chicken. I like the food at this location. They are quite generous on the sauce. Note that if you opt to have the entree without any side, it is $2.99 less than the posted price for entree + 1 side.

I recently tried the peri peri fries which the staff described as seasoned fries. It was so good! Crispy on the outside and fluffy soft inside. The seasoning was tasty. I tried the peri tamer baste on the chicken and I didn't like it much. It had a sweet taste to it. I had to dip the meat into the garlic medium sauce to counter the sweetness. I prefer the mango lime baste which is more tangy. This place got busier after 6 pm with 90% of the tables taken. It also had lots of pick up orders which seemed non stop in the hour we were there.

It is, as others have said, a neighborhood grocery store / cafe that is unmistakably and authentically Portuguese. Its name, Cafe Algarve, refers to the beachy area in the south of Portugal. However, a poster map of Baixa Pombalina, the Baixa district of Lisbon rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake under the direction of the Marques de Pombal, will be looking at you from the cash register. Locals coming from Portugal definitely frequent this business, close to the intersection of Broadway and Commercial Drive, and many speak in their native language. The owners and the patrons are very friendly. One should stop by to try a pastry and some coffee ... or tea. Also, if you've ever tried, and liked, Sumol, the Portuguese soft drink which comes in orange, pineapple, and passion fruit, you can buy it here. You can also buy other groceries. I recommend coming in the morning for the pastry and coffee. The pastries are pasteis de nata, the traditional Portuguese custard tarts "born" in Lisbon's Belem district, and it's impossible to eat just one. So, for an inexpensive pastry and coffee, meeting some nice folks from across the Atlantic, and doing something atypical while in Vancity, check this place out.
