I wanted to try the smoke chicken and it did not disappoint for takeout. We had a late night game night. Amazing, the flavour I chose is Memphis. The chicken was not dried, it looked like half a chicken it was heavy prior to a big brunch I consumed earlier that day, the cornbread is so good, the fries are nice and crispy.Will try another flavour next time when I'm in the Oakville area craving the good smoke bbq. I fell asleep after this meal.

I prefer Scaddabush quality of restaurant, so this restaurant is more like fast food with restaurant pricing.

I am a big fan of empanadas, especially the Argentinian ones, so this was a must visit.... Susan Arevalo and her siblings, Claudio and Pedro started the wholesale business making their mother's traditional empanada recipe. Now, the handheld turnovers pay tribute to their Argentinian culture and also the diversity of the city with over 20 different not-so-typical flavors.....from the Spicy Pork and Kimchi, which was inspired by their love for Korean food and the fact that they live in Korea town to the Jerk Chicken, which was added due to Pedro's affinity for spice, there's an empanada for any palate. We loved the dough and the fillings of all the ones we tried...it was a nice place to stop for a snack that you can share with friends. If you drop in, you can choose from any of their daily flavors, but if you want any flavor from their large varied menu, you need to order in advance and they will make it for you. There's a minimum of 3 empanadas of each type per order and a minimum order of 12 for all pre-orders.

The worst part was the terrible service from the waiters; especially from this older man who was rude and disrespectful to the customers. To make it even worse, their prices are outrageous! A MINI empanada is $3.50 each and a can of coke is also $3.50 each and you can check on their website the ridiculous meat dish prices! Don't bother trying this restaurant, it will definitely not be worth your money!!!

La Parrilla is a small takeout restaurant that's big on flavours! The food is meticulously prepared…read moreto order fresh from the grill. What is the meaning of 'parrilla' you might ask? It's a traditional form of Argentinian barbecue on the open fire. I've tried Brazilian rodizio and Venezuelan arepas but that was near the extent of my Latin American foray so it was exciting to taste the cuisine at this hidden gem. The must-get menu item is their charcoal grilled chicken. It's sort of akin to Portuguese chicken but in comparison the meat here is more juicy and better seasoned. The half chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender with slightly smoky flavours, then even tossed in chimichurri sauce. Perhaps greasy yet each meaty bite is satisfying! Honourable mention also goes to their empanadas. A pretty sight: golden baked crust folds over the fresh beef filling, that might be even better by the dozen. And at their price point, I can see why guests generally agree La Parrilla is a 5-star visit. I ordered ahead and the food was ready for pickup upon arrival to avoid any wait. Owner Serge was friendly about offering an extra sauce on the side along with chimichurri tossed on the chicken. Definitely get that sauce, as it adds dimensions to the asado / grilled meat. It's not easy for family businesses to operate these days, so I applaud that La Parrilla charcoal churrasqueria continues to offer top notch food from this little plaza.

Good Portuguese chicken place!…read more They have 2 types of chicken: Rotisserie and Grilled. Grilled is supposed to be drier, but more flavourful, so I got that option! 1/4 Chicken + 2 sides was $9 and I couldn't finish it! Girl who was behind the counter piled it on. I'm not complaining as I had leftovers! She also gave me a "sweet" sauce which was more sour, vinegary and garlicky. It tasted really good! Chicken and potatoes were flavourful. Rice was a bit dry, but ok. My BIL got a container of Bacalhau ($8) and that tasted good, freshly made. Initially, the girl put it on a plate and it was A LOT of food. So he opted instead for a smaller container. There is seating, street parking only, so I'm guessing it's more of a takeout place. It was clean though, so if you're hungry, you can dine-in. My only complaint was that they should work on their menu. There's only a posted menu for their sides. Otherwise, it's a takeout menu with M-F specials, so prices weren't very clear. Great bang for your buck though as lunch for 2 ppl was under $20, taxes in!

This is the perfect local eatery…read more The burger is moist and delicious, the fries are crispy and the gravy is out of this world: flavourful and smokey and homemade. It is the absolute best local burger joint around, and you can't beat the prices. I got a burger and fries combo, which includes a pop, and got a gravy on the side, as well as a chicken burger, greek salad (fresh, and bursting with the flavour) and a side of onion rings for 28 bucks. I will definitely be back. Good, simple, food. I want to try everything on the menu. Next up is their homemade burger for sure. The standout for me, in addition to the great gravy, were the onion rings. The exterior is crispy, but the inside is puffy and soft. It's amazing.

Located at Dundas-Bathurst near Old School and Almond Butterfly, Real Empanada is a MUST visit for fans of Colombian empanadas! We met the owner's amazing mama, who was super friendly and so enthusiastic about her son's shop (on the business card, he is the "CEO and Head of Research and Deliciousness" -- aww!) Since we'd never tried the Impossible meat before, she recommended that we try the vegan empanadas. We took them home frozen, and she gave us a piece of paper with the cooking instructions printed on it. Crispy shell, gluten-free, and so recommended. Next time, I'll come in and try them fresh for sure!

The empanadas are from a family recipe, served with salsa, where there are 3 options available (chicken, beef and beyond meat). The interior of the restaurant is small where oftentimes, customers take their empanadas to go. However, there are about 8 stools to enjoy your empanadas if you can't wait. I dropped by Real Empanada on a Wed evening. To my surprise, once I walked in, there was no menu available. The owner, who sensed my confusion, asked if it was my first time here. I nodded and he began explaining how there were 3 empanada options available where you get a free empanada with your first order. He explained how Colombian empanadas were different from the other empanadas you can find in the city and what ingredients were inside each of them. I opted to try all three empanadas and ate them hours after I bought them. All the flavours were delicious where the complimentary salsa complemented the empanada well. The beyond meat empanada was a nice surprise as it was delicious as well. Overall, great new addition to the Bathurst/Dundas area, super friendly owner, and definitely a unique variation of an empanada that I have never had before! Would definitely recommend trying this place!
