El Jefe De Pollo in North York

Veey delicious chicken burger and fries!! Enjoyed it very much. The halal beef taco was a solid 8/10, very good but not anything crazy!!

I ordered chicken and ground beef tacos, it was really good. I got my food after within 10 mins

Honestly went in with high expectations, seasoning was non existent. BBQ oxtail was too sweet. We got the October special and the ball up box and the only things we liked from it was the fries and the sweet corn bread. Such a disappointment, on what we spent compared to the taste of the food. Step the spice and seasoning game up, it ain t it.

Their chefs chicken sandwich is probably the best thing on their menu. Not sure I liked the birria tacos. The venue could be improved.

Chicken is perfectly done and taste so good. Great environment and wonderful staff. Truly a gem in the city .6 stars ! Food

Best chicken sandwich in the city, hands down. Their chefs special is a unique taste that you wont find anywhere else. I had the pleasure of chatting with the owner, Chino, a while back and its evident that his main goal is to make sure customers are happy and that the surrounding community can thrive. He has proven this many times by giving away free lunches to students in the area and having constant giveaways to his customers and followers. I recommend to anyone in the area, especially York and McGuigan students. And if you see Chino, make sure to have a chat with him while waiting for your order. An all-around great guy!

5 Star. The chefs special chicken sandwich is incredible

Food is fabulous. Say hi to Chef Chino!

Tried to order online after advertising said I could the website didn t allow me. Called repeated times phone was never answered when I got inside the store I was told the phone was on do not disturb as to why no calls were answered. After receiving the food it was way less seasoned than usual very disappointing usually love this spot

Food: Oxtober box is $25+ tax for 4 pieces of overly sweet BBQ oxtail, 4 overly breaded wings. Service: Was told it would be 15 minutes, it was closer to 25 minutes of waiting

El Jefe De Pollo catered my work event today, very friendly staff, clean work areas, and delicious food. Special thanks to the staff that helped serve our team today, I will definitely be returning. If you are looking to get an event catered, I would definitely recommend that you try El Jefe De Pollo, they offer Halal, Veggie, and Vegan options. Overall 11/10 experience

Food is very good, there isn t really a place to sit and eat there so you will have to take the food to go

We love the chef s special here and had to get it for our event. We found out the owner here does live catering where he cooks and serves the food at the event. It s our first time hiring a live catering vendor and we may never go back to normal catering! We consulted with Chef Chino of what to serve our guests within our budget. He worked his magic and all our guests loved it! He took the stress away from planning and prepping the food. He plated the food as he cooked and it always looked presentable. He did not disappoint. Thank you Chef Chino for making the highlight for our event! Also I need him to sell his Honey Buffalo Sauce because I would eat that sauce with everything if I could - hope he sees this comment!

It is a go-to place, especially in this area. The food is flavorful, in good portions, and reasonably priced. Compared to the low-quality fast-food chains available around the campus, it is a great choice for all York students to grab and go.

Best Chicken tacos I dont like spicy food, but this is just the right amount of perfect spices combined where it doesnt kill your taste buds and you can enjoy the food

Best honey Buffalo sauce in the world! Also great affordable meals near York University.

The in house honey buffalo sauce on tenders & the Memphis bbq sauce on wings was best !! Checkout this spot located at 45 Four Winds Dr, North York Halal certified They also have a location at 67 Baldwin St N, Whitby We tried: Honey buffalo chicken & waffles 3.5/5 (due to waffle) chicken tender was fire specially the buffalo sauce Memphis bbq wings 5/5 The jerk sando 3/5 A chicken spot you got to go try out

Taco are so good and the chicken sandwiches. Ball up box is a must try

Best chicken Ive ever had, best buffalo sauce ive ever tasted and great portions. the owner of this place is hilarious and incredibly friendly and wonderful to be around, will definitely be coming here again!

Excellent job!

The Chefs sandwich is delicious, the honey Buffalo sauce is so yummy.

The food slaps, meaning it s amazing. My wife heard about this place from the Brandon Gomez show.

Great service, great atmosphere and even greater food. The complimentary gloves are a genius idea.

After viewing this place on social media I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Oxtail BBQ sandwich, The plain Jane with spicy fries and the Oxtail taco. We placed our order at the counter and waited about 20mins for the food to be ready. There was 1 other table in the restaurant and while we waited there was about 2 other people that walked in. After our wait we took it to go but I couldnt wait so I ate my taco in my car and it was cold. The meat was long and stringy, not oxtail AT ALL! If the taco didnt have the Pico de Gallo on it then it wouldnt of tasted good. The oxtail sandwich was flavorful but came with the same long stringy meat, why they advertising oxtail and its not? The spicy fries were good but same as the rest of the order, Cold! The plain Jane was big and crispy but lacked flavor. Its so easy to sprinkle alittle seasoning on the food. I was disappointed cuz I was really looking forward to some good food. There was no reason to receive cold food, jus unacceptable! Oh, and the girl in the front taking orders with the stink face can do a better job, it wont hurt to smile at customers especially when they pay so much for cold food.

Trying to gatekeep this place because it s so good their chicken tacos and chef special honey buffalo sandwich are always SO GOOD AND FLAVOURFUL! The prices are worth every bite! The buffalo mac and cheese wasn t my preference but still flavourful. They give you gloves to eat with which is very convenient. Absolutely one of my favourite spots in Toronto

Delicious!

Gotta try the Jerk Sandwich and get side of Mac & Cheese. Food was amazing! Definitely will be going back.

Second time coming here and this place does not miss at all when it comes to flavour. Portion size you get what you pay for and believe me its totally worth it. Chefs special chicken sandwich and the mango habanero wings will not disappoint!!!

Best smash burger I have EVER had! Hit this place up! Fantastic!

Best taco in town. Juicy and Tasty

The food is pretty good and I have no complaints on it. However, the customer service is so terrible and the wait is awful. I walked in and the person at the front took about 15 minutes to even serve me, even though I was the only one there. After that I probably waited about 30 minutes for half of my food and another 15 minutes for the rest. I understand that the food is made to order so I expected to wait but it took the staff so long to even prepare it since they were just talking to each other the whole time.

Situated in a good environment. I have not tasted their meal, but I will certainly do it next time.

Food was amazing!!, staff was great even tho it was busy, they got it done would definitely come back. I got the box combo it came with small fries,2 chicken wings , 1 chicken tender , 1 chicken burger

Honestly I expected more, for $23 it s pretty decent. But I ate this sober so ain t gon lie it s okay.

Im a Seneca student and Ive tried most of the food around the village at least once. this is the most delicious food Ive had all year, I always treat myself to El Jefe after I finish a big assignment. Buffalo Mac and Cheese is my fave, great bang for your buck. Try getting the ball up box sometime, its worth trying everything here at least once.

Always amazing quality food. Had the Honey Buffalo chicken sandwich this time around Food

Great food and phenomenal customer service!

Stop here EVERY time Im in Toronto. Have never once been dissatisfied with anything Ive ordered. The food is that type of food where even if youre full, youre still going to finish it anyway. The chefs special sandwich is to die for, and the ballup box is a great way to try it and some of his other options for a discounted price. The owner is probably one of the most inviting people Ive had the pleasure of meeting that constantly goes above and beyond to not just build his brand, but also give back to his community and costumers in a way that makes you feel like youre family. Will ALWAYS recommend and ALWAYS return.

Our friend recommended we check out @eljefe in North York, Toronto (South of @yorku ). So on the way home, I stopped in to get one of my favourite things - chicken and waffles. Chef Chino was cooking up a storm when I arrived and said I also needed to try the tacos. And you know us, we ALWAYS trust staff when they say to try something. And he told no lies! Best chicken taco we have had in a LONG while. Even after my 20ish minute ride home, it was crispy and delicious. The Chicken and Waffles - (two waffles topped with tenders, coated in icing sugar and syrup) were outstanding. All white meat tenders and a very large portion. The sauce was perfection - sweet and spicy, the way it should be! By recommendation, we tried the Chicken tacos - (A birria style taco with grilled chicken tossed in chef s special sauce, goat cheese, a mango pico de gallo and cilantro on a crispy tortilla) which was the chefs kiss of the dinner. We love hearing about new foodie spots and we only post things we love and would recommend.

Im loving the chicken sandwich and other cravings, just not the fries. This restaurant is better or exactly like Popeyes in my opinion.

A must try in Brooklin. I had the chef special buffalo chicken sandwich and it was so delicious, I couldn t eat my sandwich fast enough! 10/10 The atmosphere and customer service is excellent, you can tell the owner and staff care about what they do.

Had the chef special with mac and cheese. One of the best chicken sandwiches Ive ever had. The sauce was very flavourful. The staff were very friendly. Food

I m always looking to try new chicken sandwich spots and decided to check them out since I was in the area. The sandwich was really good. I like saucy sandwiches and it lived up to my expectations. I forgot to ask if they had a hot sauce because I would ve liked it spicier because it s on the mild side but that s my problem. I definitely recommend checking it out.

I really wanted to give 3.5 stars. The chef special sandwich was really good. But I love fries . And the fries were very disappointing.

The of Chicken Sandwhich! Excellent customer service from Kamna! So glad I came across this restaurant! Love it :)

This is a takeout spot offering so many options of tasty food such as fried chicken, burgers, & tacos + really unique drinks The ball up box comes with a burger which is super scrumptious with a side of cajun fries & chicken I would def recommend this as you get to try a bit of everything! I also love the unique twist of mochi donut & fried chicken - the honey buffalo flavour was definitely there and done right

Came here with some friends. Ordered the Ballup box, came with a chicken sandwich (honey Buffalo sauce ) chicken wings fries and a tender for $20. Best sandwich I ve ever had in my life! The coleslaw is a must & the fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly. I was not disappointed. Also comes with gloves which you will need, it gets a bit messy!

Owner super friendly, and experience was great! Try the tacos and Buffalo Mac.

Food and service are amazing! They really make you feel at home here. This is probably the best tacos Ive ever had. Burgers are also super delicious

AMAZINGGGGG!!!!!! 100000/10 would recommend. GREAT customer SERVICE and DELICIOUS food. My boyfriend and I always go to the restaurant and we always leave with a smile.

Best fried chicken sandwich in life

The creative take on the Jerk chicken sandwich is amazing! Owner/chef is awesome and personable! Also his tiramisu from his connected dessert shop is absolute fire! Highly recommend and can t wait to try his tacos and fried chicken!

Over-priced fried chicken. Meat was dried and skin was soggy

First time visiting and honestly my boyfriend and I were blown away at the quality and the taste of the food. Service was also amazing, making sure that they gave us the proper recommendations for our first visit. Unfortunately due to our hunger, we had scarfed down the food before remembering to take a photo, this is also proof of how good the food was! Can t wait to come back to try more things on the menu

Honestly the best chicken sandwich I ever had! Got the chefs special honey buffalo sandwich, the flavours are popping. Definitely coming back for more! Super happy I stumbled into this place! A hidden gem! Also the owner was super nice!

Owner is a G fr, this spot slaps! Owner is the nicest guy that obviously loves what he does. Will def be goin back. Amazin service and food

This chicken chief deserves the recognition. Been enjoying El Jefe for years. Price is up there but you get a very generous portion and the quality is great.

First time coming here so i was excited to give it a try. $8.50 for a single taco is pretty pricey but I m all about supporting a small business so we gave that a try along with the honey buffalo chicken sandwich. The taco already fell apart by the time we opened the box and the chicken sandwich tasted like just buffalo and nothing else could barely taste the coleslaw the quality of the food was good none the less. You can tell the ingredients aren t cheaped out on , the quality of the chicken is also good. Not sure if I just had bad luck and didn t get my food the usual way it s prepared . Might try this place again but I m not sure .

Went here for the first time and was not disappointed. They went the extra mile to make sure the food was fresh and tasty. I think we found our go to chicken burger place! It was really nice meeting you!!

Save yourself from the loss of appetite and waste of time and money. Got my order wrong however I was willing to experience something new as it was my first visit here. Got a worn/used glove in my bag on top of my food, I don t have a further comment in regards to this. Got taco shells leaking in grease, was like eating a hard sponge of oil. I tipped generously ahead of receiving my order, and yet didn t provide them the incentive to deliver correctly although that should be irrelevant. Update: reached out to management on instagram. They failed to acknowledge and accept the concerns and rather explained to me that their catering style isn t for me, and that I couldn t prove my comments in regards to receiving the wrong order with a worn glove in it. Then proceeded to block me, very unprofessional. In response, I was given a dirty worn/used glove alongside with new gloves. Dipped/covered in oil means different than of sponged in oil. I was receiving arrogant comment/replies via text, so I kindly rejected the phone call as per my message following it.

100% a must try! Food is always made fresh.

Surprisingly great sandwiches, totally coming back.

I ordered thru ubereats and the food was outstanding. I got plain Jane Deluxe and Chicken + waffles and my my. It is pricey but prices are reasonable as you can tell that they use high quality ingredients. Must try

Way too expensive, cost more than $37 for 3 small ox tail tacos and a buffalo chicken chef special sandwich. Taste is good, way too pricey. Very expensive. 37 dollars for one meal aint worth.

I got the chicken tacos and they were so good and I got the fries, they were flavourful and crispy. I don t usually leave reviews, but this place was literally amazing, the tacos had so much flavour

This place is a novelty. We tried the chefs special and went for the add on of wedges and a premium drink which came to $45 for two people. Flavour was good but I personally feel like that honey buffalo is amateur at best, it s something I ve tasted many times before. The bun & coleslaw were the highlights for me! Bun was so soft and buttery and the coleslaw was exceptional, it cut the heat of the sandwich nicely! I really just wish there was more of it considering the amount of fried chicken, ratio is a little off. Wedges are not memorable. The premium drinks are good and it s something not everyone gets a chance to try so the owner is smart to upsell on the extra $7 from a business standpoint. However, if you look hard enough, those drinks can be found elsewhere but he makes it seem like he s the only one who s got it. With that being said it s not worth the $$$. I understand he stresses economic stance, ingredients & portion size but IMO it s simply not worth what you pay. Quality over quantity! Owner is braggadocious & spoke about himself a lot, sort of a turn off. He doesn t have good social skills, but hey he s an earth sign. I would not return.

Mid

I ordered delivery via Uber Eats - with an 11 km trip door-to-door - so I ended up with cold and soggy food. However, temperature aside - the chicken sandwich was gristly and had way too much batter on it. Also, the sauce had a lot of spice and a tangy flavour that overpowered the taste of the chicken. By contrast - the chicken strips were flavourless and covered in thick, oily fried batter that is really off-putting when you bite into it. The fries seemed to just be cold, soggy French fries drowned in Paprika. I will never order from here again.

Got three burgers. Jerk, Chefs Special, and the Manganero. Do NOT get the Jerk or Manganero. Those two were awful and tasted raw. The Chefs Special is good however.

Got the Honey Buffalo Chicken and Buffalo Mac & Cheese. The food was absolutely delicious! I was saying yum after every bite! The cherry on top was that the owner was so hospitable and friendly. I can t wait to come back! He also walked us over to get an ice cream sample at Chino Scoopz. This is another establishment of his. I will be back for dessert!

I will say the food is good and very creative, the menu is definitely not boring, would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area, but the down side that Im surprised no one has mentioned in any reviews, the service. Its not good, your order will always take long, dont even think of coming here on a weekday during lunch the wait is ridiculous, even ordering from here off Uber your definitely gonna have to wait longer then the expected delivery time. Im not sure why this is but it is. Great food. service, needs work

Oh my jheez louiez this is the best spot to eat at they have tacos birria style, sandwiches, and shrimp they deadass have everything. I got ground beef tacos n my friend got jerk chicken sandwich. 10/10 fr. Owner is so nice too mannn f those bad reviews they re grumpy ppl

I have to say this trendy hot honey sandwich is one of the best here. The fries and wedges were delicious as well. Portions are amazing!! Took a star off for 2 things: - They have promos that aren t advertised on their menu. It was hard to see at their location as well. I forget the name but it was a box for I think about $40 which I thought was a better deal than what i ordered. Unfortunately, I didn t see it until after the order was placed. - As seen in one of the pictures. There was inconsistency on the portion of the Patties. One had much more meat than the other. Despite that, it was still freaking delicious!

My girlfriends favourite spot

Visit Torontos top spot for chicken and tacos. This includes oxtail tacos, crispy fried chicken and sweet + spicy chicken and waffles. This spot features a fast takeout style restaurant and am unforgettable owner. The menu is also 100% halal.

Please tell us youre closed on skip if youre closed.. waited so long for an order to be accepted only to check here that youre closed.

Ordered in! Portion sizes were pretty big. Great comfort food if youre feeling extra hungry. Jerk chicken sandwich is enough to fill 2 people.

Who needs Los Pollos Hermanos from Breaking Bad when we have El Jefe De Pollo Everything from their food to their service was amazing! Their menu is also 100% Halal.

Food was good, girls at the front were nice. Will re-visit forsure!

You can never go wrong with this place

Best place to get some amazing food. The owner is amazing & super friendly! Many different options to try from and it s also Halal. They also have a ice cream spot around the corner! Definitely coming back again for more

Love their chef s special but miss the owner making it. It s not the same without you :)

Had the best burger here and their chicken is so tender, it melts in mouth. Do give them a try in North York.

I dont normally write reviews but this experience really stuck with me. The food was really good however the owner was yelling at the workers in the back because they weren t following his orders, I understand it can be frustrating to run a business and I respect that he wants the best for his business. However, there are no excuses to treat your employees in that manner no matter how many mistakes they make and I dont see how that can be a good environment to improve and work in, if anything more mistakes can happen because of the stress and the embarrassment of being yelled at in-front of customers, at the end of the day I can see that the workers were trying their best, even if they are not meeting your expectations they have the right to be treated with respect.

The shrimp tacos were delicious, and my husband had ground beef tacos. Both were really good. I totally recommend it Just the place is small, and there is not enough space to dine in. We had our tacos like in a Mexucan style (stand up) that really doesnt matter because the tacos were very good. Thank you El Jefe de pollo Parking: There are enough places to park

chicken was dry

Wish I had a picture but it was amazing. Looking for great tacos and the area and this place is great. The flavour was just overwhelmingly so good!!! Highly recommend!

Love the fish tacos pretty much everything else is a hit or miss depends on whos in the kitchen

Amazing service from Kat! Definitely coming back!

A peaceful oasis amidst the fast food frenzy, this spot offers internationally-inspired fast food dishes with a touch of care and attention.

The Chef s Special is one of the best chicken sandwiches I ever had, not to mention the tacos that are served there too. Highly recommend to anyone looking for some good food.

Really good friend chicken sandwich + Mac & cheese! Owner is really cool!

The sandwich is out of this world. Its a little pricey, but worth the price tag in my opinion. Theres no place to sit, and it is in a bit of rough area, but definitely a gem. Its one of those hole in the wall places that you come to love. Food : 5/5

Best chicken sandwich in the city

Great place. Food was very unique and everything was delicious. Will go out of my way to go again because Im a coward when it comes to good food.

Too oily, even the bun was drenched in oil. The guy who cooked our food had gloves on but was touching everything with his gloves (his face, food, fridge, ...) Another guy wearing gloves wiped his hands with a dirty rag before preparing somebody elses food.

If you are looking for best chicken in Toronto then you need to come down here and try out this chicken! The prices are super reasonable, definitely worth the wait and the even love that they have so many different options for their drinks! Highly recommend and will be back!!!

I would have given this place 5 stars but they forgot half my order when i oredered through skip.....how hard is it to put whats on the order in the bag?....

Dont order here!...they will forget to put half your food in the bag.

Have ordered in person and on DoorDash- food is excellent. Prices are great for how big the portions are. Chicken tenders are incredible- I also suggest trying the jalapeno cheddar waffles Food : 5/5

AMAZING chicken burger. Tried the the honey buffalo and it was top notch! Their cajun fries are also just perfect.

Fantastic food and service

Owner is great. Definitely cares about the store Great food, little pricey but definitely worth it. Cheers

The food was tasty, had an oxtail taco, wings, corn waffles, and tenders. Im coming back for more, plus they have an ice cream shop Ive waiting to try them rolls.

Amazing food & owner! Chef Chino shows love and respect to all his customers, not to mention the food is fantastic! I would highly recommend the Chef Special - Honey Buffalo sandwich, everything else was super fresh and tasty as well (shrimp po boy was amazing)

Chicken was good. Fries good be better.

Can I just say how much I appreciate the details? Who cares about not getting my hands and clothes dirty? EL CHINO (owner)! Gloves provided! Friendly guy. Went from gangster to entrepreneur. Has a chicken and a desert spot at this location. We had the $30 special: 2 sandwiches, 2 sides and 2 pops. The sandwiches were magnificent, overflowing with fried chicken. The corn waffles were a unique concept and were delicious. The Cajun fries were delicious. The food takes a while to make but its ok because its fresh. Certainly a recommended spot!

Loved the burger and tacos here!! Decent pricing, lots of sauces and even gloves

best chicken burger

Only criticism was that I missed some heat, or at least an option/sauce that was packing some real heat (the mango habanero isn t spicy). Otherwise food was incredible - probably the best fried chicken sandwich and jerk chicken sandwiches I ve had! Really really good food all round, highly recommend.

amazing food and service. any bad review is a grumpy hater. the price is great for the quality and quantity. 100% recommend for anybody, with their variety of different options. tacos, chicken sandwich and mac n cheese are my fav

To be honest this place is mid I ordered the ball up box and the chefs special was not only super greasy till the point where the bun was soaked in grease not sauce, but the chicken piece was extremely depressing. Absolutely paper thin and more breading than meat. The tenders were good and wings were mediocre at best. Don t recommend:(

The chef s special is huge more chicken than bread but it was absolutely delicious. Very filling worth every penny. Only issue is the fries although mentioned cajun absolutely bland no salt, no heat, no flavour. The mac was very basic maybe add some bread crumbs or mozzarella cheese?

Mid. 13 bucks for a chicken sandwich and there is barely any chicken in it? If you get a burger with a paper thin piece of chicken and are not at all satisfied, dont say you weren t warned. Such lowering of quantity while increasing prices is never justified. Food

Very disappointed. We tried the chicken, fish and beef tacos. They were the worst tacos we had in Toronto.

If anything happens to this joint or their chef s special sandwich, i will for sure go into depression. I am madly in love with this sandwich

Food is great, I get tacos often. The size is very inconsistent. If you get 1, 2 or 3 tacos, they put them all in the same container. If you order 3, you get 3 small tacos. I am hoping they focus more on consistency rather than franchising

Yummy chicken in my belly. Chef Chino uses fresh oil daily to fry his signature chicken. You have the choice of multiple types of chicken sandwiches, but my favourite has to be the Chicken N Waffles. The breading and seasoning is on point and pairs well with the waffles and maple syrup. I loved their thick smashed burger patties and the tacos were great too! Great sides to choose from including wedges, fries and Mac and cheese. They also have a bunch of unique sodas that you can only get in the USA. Great prices and portions. Also all halal.

El Jefe de Pollo is such an iconic and hidden gem of North York, it serves the best chicken sandwhiches, tacos in all of North York Top Tier place Food

Killer beef taco. One of the best in my life.

They got the best food in town.

Food is good and the owner is friendly. 10/10 would come back Best oxtail taco in town, bar none!! Food : 5/5

Jerk sandwich chicken tenders Chicken/fish/beef tacos also mac and chesse frigin amazing Food

Try the Chefs special. Yum ! I got one and went in again for the next one again !! The lovely brioche bun..honey glazed chicken sandwich....

We tried El Jefe de Pollo, a cool taco spot. The Cajun fries were spicy in a good way, and the chicken tenders were a decent size. But the honey buffalo chicken sandwich stole the show! Its like sweet and spicy all in one, and they even put coleslaw inside a brioche bun a tasty combo you gotta try. They only do take-out, no dine-in, which is okay. Just remember to open the box holes for your fish tacos, or they get soggy. Thanks, El Jefe de Pollo, for the awesome food! 10/10 El Jefe De Pollo! Keep up making quality tasting food.

I ve been ordering from El Jefe for the past year since they opened on the very first day. But this will be the last time I ll be ordering food from this restaurant, the burgers used to be good but nowadays their patty is smaller than the bun and their fries are very stale. I hope the owner fixes this problem and addresses the issue of their food.

This place is a culinary gem. The Chef s special, featuring Fried Chicken in Chef Chino s honey buffalo sauce, garlic aioli, and coleslaw on a buttered brioche bun, is a triumph. The Chicken & Waffles with Honey Buffalo sauce and Buffalo Mac with creamy cheese and chicken are equally outstanding. Despite the distance, I m a repeat visitor, solely for these favorites. The owner s genuine care for customers and staff adds to the great atmosphere. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality justifies it. This place is a must-try. I can t wait to return.

I am a regular at El Jefe De Pollo and it s my go-to spot for a satisfying meal. The Chef s Special Combo never disappoints, featuring a perfectly breaded chicken with a sweet buffalo sauce, accompanied by a side of fries and a choice of pop. The convenience of ordering over the phone is great it usually takes just 15-20 minutes before my meal is ready for pickup. What sets this place apart is their wide selection of unique and fun drinks. The Fanta Peach and Blueberry are my favorites and they always seem to have something new and exciting to try. On the occasions when I m looking to indulge, I opt for the BBQ Pulled Oxtail Sandwich. It s a premium choice with a price tag to match, but well worth it for the combination of sweetness, tenderness, and smokiness.

Look no more definitely in my top 10 list

Amazing food amazing staff, good vibes good prices, cant go wrong at all im here 2-3 times a weeek!!! Money well spent!!

Dang. $5 soft opening price on a chefs sandwich has me sold. No idea what the reg price is, but this was some seriously tender, crispy, tasty and well prepared chicken. Best buffalo sauce Ive had in a long while to boot.

A hidden gem! Crispy batter with a satisfying crunch. Chicken is moist and not overly oily.

Best chicken sandwich Ive ever had. Its not remotely close. Our entire group went back to tell them how great it was. Dont be fooled by pictures, you only need to try it once. Id give it 6 if I could.

The tacos r rlly good but the portions r small and it s expensive

Best Chicken Spot in the 6.

Absolutely amazing food, the menu is great, definitely coming back soon. Staff were really friendly super welcoming environment. Nice local gem of a place. Also has an arcade machine which was really cool. You should come here, wont regret it

Excellent place with very friendly service! The Chicken was damn juicy and fresh.

Found my new spot. Definitely the best chicken sandwich I ve ever had. Tacos were amazing too.

Best chicken burger! Try the chef special

it was a bit pricey but the tenders were perfect plus the fries were amazing too. Giving the water bottle for free and not charging for it touched too.

The food here is SO GOOD. It s 100% hand slaughtered. I ordered the chicken and waffles and although it was kinda pricey, I think it was worth it. The service was nice too

It was awesome! Best chicken burger, friendly and fast staff, and amazing packing for take out (they put gloves for us because they knew we would need it)

Saw the google reviews and TikTok reviews, and didn t buy into the hype. The chefs special chicken sandwich has a large breaded chicken drenched in buffalo sauce. The plastic gloves is a great addition so kudos to their customer service. The brioche buns are soft as a pillow, and the breading is definitely different. But I just felt like the sandwich wasn t anything special from Harvey s buffalo chicken sandwich, and at a $21 meal I expected 5/5 experience. The chicken itself was tenderized that it was a very thinly cut piece of chicken than a more thicker cut. The Cajun fries didn t have enough potato content for home style, it felt overly deep-fryed.

That beef rib is the best i have tried in my life and the corn, fries and dessert are out this world! Must try. Amazing hospitality

The chefs special chicken burger was absolutely amazing. This place has just served me the best fried chicken sandwich I have ever had . Whatever the batter is so perfectly crispy , the sauce is perfect , the bun is golden and soft . The fries are also very good . If you dont try this place youre missing out !

Its shick wit it

The food was amazing! Delicious and a good portion side! The customer service was top notch too! The person at cash was honest and chill! 10/10 would recommend to others!!!

I am not going to eat fried chicken unless its from El Jefe De Pollo. Service is excellent and the taste is 10 out of 10. No alternatives can match this team!

Words can not explain how every item on their menu leaves me full and satisfied, but insatiable for more. The taste is amazing, and they have something for everyone. Owner really is giving back to his community with this one! (Keep an eye out for the ice cream shop)

Excellent place for some yummy food! Honey buffalo chicken sandwich was SOOO good, must try for sure! I also specifically loved their mango dipping sauce with chicken tenders as it was so fresh and a perfect combination.

Ok so this visit was long overdue and oh boy I seriously regret not coming here sooner. Got the chicken and waffles, BALL OUT box and coleslaw. I don t think I m going to any other fried chicken place after this experience. The skin was crispy and the meat was moist. The sauce options are perfect. Wrapped the strips in the waffles and laced it with coleslaw and let me tell you it was like manna from the heavens. The pricing is super fair for the portions and quality. These owners are good people. My only concern is that I ll probably gain like 20 pounds this Fall/ Winter semester because I might be here weekly or even daily. I might go from a York Lion to a York Hippo !

Damn this is the spot!! Fries on point.wings wonderful the tacos nicely made and the sandwiches just marvellous. Do your stomach a good deed and transport yourself there and secure a nice meal

As someone who ate their meal in the car, I really appreciated that they give you gloves to eat the chicken sandwich with lol

My before and after picture should tell you all you need to know. Best in the city hands down!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed the food here! Chicken was juicy check out Torontofoodiefattie on Instagram !

Walked in and waited at the cash register, only to be ignored by the owner and his coworkers, who made eye contact with me but did not acknowledge me at all for minutes. Due to dismissive attitude, I left and dont plan on coming back soon! // I walked in and waited at the register, only to be ignored by the owner and his coworkers, who made eye contact with me but didnt recognize me at all for a few minutes.

I ordered 2 tacos, 1 Cajun fries and 1 pound of honey garlic chicken wings. It was only 40$!!! It slaps So good

Wow, what a fresh chicken sandwich with full flavour!!! Check out this restaurant!!!

El Jefe himself cooked our order. The sweet thai wings and oxtail tacos are bangin . Decent portion and affordable price.

Great food, huge portions, owner is fantastic

Tastes amazing!

Awesome customer service and the best, hands down, the BEST tacos I ve ever had!

They gave me gloves and they had grape soda. That s all I gotta say

Definitely worth the drive and wait. Expect to wait 20mins plus. Its a small take out joint with lots of people lining up. The dont deliver. So call ahead for pick up. Ordered 1 Chefs Special Honey Buffalo. And 1 Manganero. Chicken had a nice crispy batter around it. Made it larger and held onto the sauces well. Middle of the chicken was nice and juicy. Thankful for the plastic gloves. Definitely need it. Glad to have tried it out

Amazing burgers

I visited based on a recommendation and was extremely impressed Let s go from order of consumption ! The fries were delicious , perfectly crispy and not overly spiced. Just right, a perfect snack on the drive back home I had the chefs special sandwich , and it was so good. The sauce was divine and the chicken was great. We also had the chicken and waffles which I m not a fan of waffles typically but these changed my mind , they were not soggy and made a good compliment for the chicken and sauce Finally we were lucky as there was a section of hard to come by pop that are from the US , so something different and special The owner was very nice and talked to us while we decided and after we were waiting for our order. He sounds like he s really turned his passion and business into a success and I wish Jefe all the best !! Will defiantly be back I only wish I had purchased two sandwiches instead of one Everyone give this place a try some of the best chicken in the city

Mango habanero chicken burger was great, the sauce was amazing, the cajun fries were perfectly crispy, could use a bit more spice but was good with ketchup. Oxtail, chicken and fish taco was good but gotta eat right away or the shells get hard.

I came because it s halal and I m so happy I came . I didn t expect the food to be so good honestly. The chefs special is *chefs kiss*. The drink options were great ! This place is def a gem

I drive 2 hours to eat here. The food is absolutely incredible

Best chicken sandwich out there. Period. the sauce they use for the chefs special sandwich was amazing. Oxtail tacos were excellent as well, definitely coming back

An excellent location for a bite of soul food. They offer fried chicken sandos, tacos, Buffalo chicken mac and cheese, and other wonderful dishes. The chicken sandos are a great option. The chicken is flavourful and is combined with a soft brioche bun and homemade sauces to give you a wonderful experience. I personally loved the chicken tacos, but my wife didnt like the goat cheese garnish. We both didnt like the fish taco because the fish had a strong smell that overpowered the toppings, and the batter soaked up the toppings to give a very gooey texture. The Buffalo Mac and cheese was amazing. The sauce that brings together the macaroni bits paired with the fried buffalo chicken will make your heart and mouth feel relaxed. I highly recommend this dish. Keep in mind that this place is takeout only. But there are seating options located in the strip mall. The owner is very friendly and lively. You can tell that he is extremely passionate and dedicated to his food. I commend his effort and commitment. Thank you for having me and trying your dishes.

Bomb food, great service. Hidden gem giving back to the community. Show all the love and support you can.

Top 3 halal chicken spots. Hands down great chicken sandwiches. Tacos are great, Cajun fries are great. And lots of unique pops/sodas. Great spot! And friendly staff Dietary restrictions: 100% certified halal from sargent farm. As of October 2022 Parking: Lots of parking spots a whole parking lot Wheelchair accessibility: Theres the mall entrance which you can go through. The main door has a small ledge thats like 2 inches.

100% hand-slaughtered Halal certified food place in North York. SOOO good, must try for sure! I would recommend the Chicken & Oxtail tacos, Manganero Sandwiches, Buffalo Mac & Cheese etc. Great parking area, however some construction going around. Prompt service. Ave meal cost $15-$20.

Just ordered from this place for the first time it blew my mind. So good!

Will definitely visit next time.

2nd time here a1 quality and everything taste bomb.

Great food at a reasonable price. Tried the chicken tacos and chefs special sandwich with cajun fries. Tasted great and portions were filling and generous. Dietary restrictions: Halal

Chino is just an absolutely amazing person. His upbeat outlook is amazing and a welcomed breath of air. The food was DELICIOUS! Had the Chefs Special and was amazed by the HUGE piece of flavourful chicken. Ill be back again in the near future to try more off the menu. Keep smiling Chino and to all reading this, I hope youve already placed your order.

First time here and didn t know what to order so I went with the chef special. Soooooo damn good! Wish I had another one . It s basically a huge chicken sandwich with a honey barbecue sauce with a tad spicy but not that spicy . I am telling you. It is so damn good. We will definitely come back.!!! 10/10 oh and the crunch on the chicken was amazing. Almost like the same type of crunch you found find in tempura ! So damn good

Food is ok, nothing extraordinary. Nice buffalo sauce. But its Way too overpriced. Its basically proper restaurant price, fast food quality and taste, everything costs extra. A tiny, almost empty mini container of sauce is like $2, and that tells you a lot about the place. Theyll overcharge for everything they can, theyll save on whatever they can. Im out. Anyway, would be a nice spot if prices were half of that and had more appreciation to the customer. Right now its a mess. Not sure if the reviews are rigged and why anyone would say this place is something.

They re generous with everything else, so I thought I would try the tacos, but I was very disappointed. I paid $16.95 and got 2 tiny tacos. I did not even get a drink or a side. In terms of taste, I expected it to at least taste good for the price. You re better off just going to Taco Bell. It s bland, has no flavour and the beef was even dry! Waste of money.

Food was great! They give you a lot of chicken on the sandwich and the sauces are very good. Owner is very friendly and has great customer service. Definitely recommend.

AMAZING

This place has got the juciest chicken burgers you can get. There big so come with an appetite.

Awesome place, recommend the chicken

I love going to my favourite restaurant everytime I visit Toronto. The burgers, chicken wings and everything they offer has a very excellent quality, freshness and taste. This chicken it cannot be find in anywhere else and you can even eat more for less as their prices are very affordable and it comes with great portions on every order you make. If I were living in TO permanently as I used to be before, I ll definitely stop by every week and be a very loyal customer. If you never have been here before, please go, you won t regret it! Highly recommend!
