Good place

Amazing homestyle fresly made entrees. Casual atmosphere. Very clean. Great staff. Recommend the sole filet, ribs and chicken.

Food is good only accept cash.

Cash money

EVERY BITE AND LICK WAS ORGASMIC I suggest you Go Now and experience the Awesome food and Atmosphere

Always the best I travel most of the time from Barrie to toronto just ti get food in there. I dont think they even know it

Very convenient business, cash only... if you dont have it there is the cash machine, good business, very small chickens for the price. good tasting food Food : 4/5

This place use to be good, but after covid after all the price gone up the food gone down

excellent service and they respond very quickly

Very good service and kindness from the waiter.

Came here the other day with a friend.. we ordered our food and they put the food in takeout packaging which I thought was odd.. we go to sit down to eat and an employee comes over to us saying, people who want to dine in need to order off the dine in menu which has additional costs. I told her no one told me about this menu and that it s quite rude to come over after we had just spent money and basically tell us we can t stay and eat. She said the girl who took my order is new and forgot to ask me whether we wanted take out or dine in I told her that s not my problem. She said next time, for me to be aware of the different menus. I have never been to a restaurant that charges you an extra $10-$15 just to sit and eat your fkn food.. the place was also 90% empty, so for them to try and charge you money to sit down is pathetic. We ordered the fish with potatoes and rice with a side of veggies and churros the fish was ALL bones, I was picking them out of my teeth the entire time, I eventually just gave up the churros were hard as rocks, I actually had to ask them to warm them in the microwave and they were STILL hard.. I will never come back to this place.. it s all teenagers with no understanding of how to run a restaurant.

This place never misses always on point.

Great food and service

Its very bad that they have a schedule and they dont respect it, they say they close at 7 and we arrived at 6 and they no longer wanted to serve us, they should establish their schedules on Friday.

I can tell by the other reviews that people wouldnt even know what really good Portuguese food is, because most of the reviews are from people outside our Portuguese community. So they wouldnt realize there is much better out there. As someone who is Portuguese, I will tell you , this is one of the top 5 worst Portuguese food places in Toronto! My second time trying this place. I thought maybe I was just unlucky the first time, but after trying it again I can confirm the food is not at par with other Portuguese take-out/restaurants. I ordered different options such as , bacalhau (cod), and 2 BBQ chickens and no flavor, tasted stale, like old frying oil, the cod (bacalhau) was horrible. The BBQ chickens mediocre. As for the service, all the ladies at the front serving , barely look at you ,and look miserable. I guess the day I was there myself and my wife were too happy, and I guess they dont like friendly smiles and thank yous, because we thanked them for the food and never got a response. When we went to pay , they said cash only ( what Portuguese place does cash only on a daily?) OK thats fine they have a debit machine to take out money, if youre ok with the extra bank charges. So we took out money and paid. Got home with the food and ended up throwing it all in the garbage, because it was garbage. This place continues to make business because they are the only ones in that area serving Portuguese food. Actually Im wondering if this place is actually owned and runned by the original owner of Costa Verde from back in the day?? I was forced to give it 1 star. But in reality 0 stars. Thanks

This is without a doubt for me, one of the best food restaurants in Toronto. All the food they sell has an Excellent flavor and the price is in line with the portions and quality of the food. My wife and I were fascinated by this place. The only detail is that there is a high-stress environment and the employees work very quickly. The feeling is a little unpleasant since you cant enjoy the food 100%. Otherwise nothing to say

We ordered a WHOLE chicken with a large potatoes for dinner a few nights ago. The chicken was extremely small and missing pieces (not a full chicken as advertised). We called and they said as long as you get 8 pieces its a full chicken? so they serve 4 neckbones and a back with 2 drumsticks with one little sauce for one person, not even one breast. We were still hungry after eating. Toronto has way better Portuguese chicken that serves what they advertise and dont cheat you out of Food.

My go to lunch spot. Their bacalhau is always fresh, alway tasty. Love their homemade hot sauce as well! Food : 5/5

I was very well attended to by Davi!!! Thank you, the food is very delicious

Our first time ordering from Costa Verde BBQ Portuguese! WOW FANTASTIC. I went around 6:45pm on a Saturday and the palce was full of happy people. The staff was enthusiastic and working hard. ANITA served me and shared her appreciation that I was there. They also have PALLEA on the weekends! I recommend the food and the experience I will return

Small restaurant, that serves excellent food,. I was not disappointed with the fish and ribs and can not wait to try the grilled chicken and steak. The service compliments the food, Catarina service was 5 star.

The food is Really good and the service from Esmeralda is Really Really good

Very good attention, the food is very delicious and the service is excellent. Gilberto attended us, excellent service.

Very good service by friend Gilberto

I love the presentation of the food, my husband and I love the chicarrón, and Esmeralda and Milenas attention is very good. Excellent option if you want to feel in a multicultural environment since the waitresses speak Spanish, English and Portuguese.

Catalina gave me the best services all the time

Very good food and served with great efficiency and friendliness by MILENA.

Nos gusta mucho la atencion de este lugar asi como tambien la comida que aqui en la costa verder se ofrece , las muchacha que atienden a los clientes son muy profesionales . Mi esposa y yo hemos tenido una excente atencion de parte de Esmeralda que ya nos va atiendo en varias oportunidades. Dios bendiga y prospere mucho mas este negocio.

Thank you Anita for always doing your job with a smile:)

Emerald is a wonderful waitress she was so friendly, helpful and approachable.

For the past 3 years catering at Costa Verde its been great experience with Anita. Keep up the awesome job and thank you for everything!

Very nice attention, equally delicious food, Thank you Esmeralda for your attention.

Very good service from the waiter Gilberto, and very delicious food

Excellent service

Very good service from Gilberto, the food was very good.

The best attention

Esmeraldas attention is spectacular. I highly recommend Costa Verde.

Great restaurant, food is always consistently good and so is the service. Milena was very attentive and friendly.

This is my go to Portuguese spot!! The charboiled grilled chicken is so tasty and juicy. I always get it served with the potatoes and steamed veggies, which are always cooked to perfection, light and well seasoned. The portion size are more than great for the price. The staff are very welcoming and always smiling. Definitely recommend

On Sunday we ate at Costa Verde and everything was delicious, the ribs and the chicken. Gilberto served us super friendly, attentive and he recommended a dessert for 10 grax gil

The staff is very friendly and the food is excellent. Recommend this place to everyone

Everything is very delicious, they always serve us very kindly

Great customer service, David is the best he was very helpful with my order I was very very happy, he show me that he really cares about customers and the cashier too very nice, I recommend this place. Im a very happy customer and the food is always delicious I go there once a week for sure. Thank you David and thanks to all the team from Costa Verde.

I ve been coming here for over a decade and it s delicious every time. The staff is awesome, the food is amazing and I will continue to return whenever I can!

The service is terrible, you give them instructions and they do what they want. I ordered a rib and they gave me the one they wanted, I asked for sauce and it turns out they sell it to you! Well, I paid for the sauce and they didnt add it to me. They lack customer service, they lack organization, there are many serving and they give you bad service.

The food is amazing here, we love it keep up the good work

Costa Verde is a local hotspot, which features a wide array of mouth-watering dishes. From succulent rotisserie and grilled chicken to fish & many vegetarian options, theres something for everyone. The paella is also amazing. The food is incredibly fresh and the authentic flavours of Portugal are sure to tantalize your tastebuds! Ive had several events catered by Costa Verde & they have an abundance of options. The vegetarian lasagna has come to be known as a guest favourite. The staff are especially friendly, helpful and attentive. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, but lively at certain times.

Catarina, Tatyana and Anita went out of their way to provide a fast and friendly service. The food is always fresh and delicious and fair price for the amount of food this lovely ladies served me and my coworkers. Will definitely come back to see them oh yeah and to eat.

Amazing service and delicious chicken! A little secret I always go for: if they have yuca, you can request yuca frita it s incredible!

good yah.

The food here is always good. My visits here always seem to coincide with something good and unexpected happening in life and the food always adds that comforting layer to the day. My go to is the Cod with veggies and chips. The fish cakes are also very good.

Food is top shelf. Great bbq. Service is also good. I am a regular there. Get the bbq skewer. Bring an appetite. Love the Latinas!!

For less than 20 bucks you get a super tasty half a chicken with 2 reasonable portions of sides. I had the potatoes and salad. Mmmmmm This is the best deal in town. And a great go to when you just dont feel like cooking.

I ordered a whole chicken and was very disappointed. There is no way they included the entire chicken in the bag. There was no breast meat! Only small pieces of chicken with lots of bones. The veggies were very plain and looked like frozen veg from Costco. The potatos were good but no better than other places. I ve had way better and won t be back.

Awesome bbq chicken and Salmon yum yum

I got a paella, in my country it is much better than here but in Costa Verde it was also delicious but I repeat it does not compare to the one in my country!! Lol, about the chicken, I think it is the best chicken I have ever eaten in all of Toronto, super delicious, that unmatched flavor, I would really come again every weekend Parking: There is a parking lot in the back, much better than the one in front because the one in front is too small.

Best chicken in town! I have literally been to every churrasqueira in Toronto and none are even close to this one. Great service, great price, awesome food!! Food

Good service and good food and clean and friendly service

very good chicken, potatoes, rice, ribs!

Delicious!

Food was absolutely delicious Parking: Limited parking spots. Theres a steep slope to get into the Plaza parking lot. Food : 5/5 |

Love this spot for the chicken

Very good service and above all very delicious food

Catered for my daughter s birthday and the chicken was really good, juicy.

Superb place to eat economically. Good food, reasonable price and great portions. Give it a try. Parking: Plenty of parking at rear side

I call to order from 5 pm to pick up by 6:30 pm and the say yes but when arrive the say not the don t take order why the answer yes when you call the service it s really bad wasting my time useless customer service no respect at all the time of a costumer

I called to place an order. The girl Tatiana extremely rude, disrespectful and calling me honey in a condescending way. I have placed order for one or two chickens, she is telling me walk in only. Not being kind or helpful. Service by this girl terrible. Improve your costumer service and change your worker.

Nice food,, the ribs are spot on

Have been ordering here for over 5 years now ... one of the best spots for Portuguese style takeout. Have tried there fried snapper also one of the best especially with grilled veggies that come along. Recently ordered trays for a party ... rice and potatoes ... totally worth the price based on amount.... the large trays are an easy 35 to 40 plus ppl.

Everything was fine, only problem it was warm inside

People inspect your food found fly eggs on my chicken .

wowww the service was sublime Im thinking about going back again. And the atmosphere was as well sublime

its cash only. dont forget your cash

Ordered threw Uber eats Chicken was raw Rice was greasy Potatoes had no taste After not eating anything not even my gerand kids the chicken was red and full of blood called them only thing they said was I will talk to him I wouldnt even feed my dog that stuff never will I go back again sorry but plz look at your food before you eat it

Portuguese food at its finest! Theres always a huge lineup for takeout. We dined in, the service was good. On occasion it gets a bit smoky from all the barbecuing, personally it would not deter me from going again I should note it is a cash only place of business

Good food , great service. Not much more to say.

Delicious food , you have to try the chicken :)

I was a little disappointed with the hot sauce they provided. I expected to get a nice peri peri variety, but instead it was closer to siracha. The chicken was really good however. Next time Ill try the sides.

Their grilled chicken is fantastic!

Very Good thank you:)

Great food always fresh. Portion sizes and prices are great as well. Best Portuguese food ever.

Omg... I felt I was in Riu, fantastic food, and service. Vegetarian options: Good salads, and mix vegetables, And vegy burgers. Food : 5/5 | Service

Thank you for catering our special event! Patient and understanding throughout the ordering process and kindly adjusted quantities when there were last-minute changes. Absolutely 5 star service!

I prefer my chicken not to still have feathers

Its a nice place - a bit more casual than what I am use too. Nonetheless, the food was great and the service was good, especially during the busy lunch rush. Would go back again. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Great food. Great staff. This is a cash only place. No credit or debit.

Use to be a very honest and good place now everything is way less chickens are now codorniz very small and waitress are somethings with an attitude

Crowded but expected because the food is amazing .

Friendly atmosphere.

Spectacular

Half chicken meal is enough for two people for a quick and easy lunch. Absolutely delicious and would highly recommend. Make sure to get extra spicy sauce and large side of coleslaw. 100% sure that you and your significant other will have your belly satisfied.

The customer service is amazing. I had a slight problem with my order, and they went above and beyond my expectations with correcting it. I was very satisfied with the food and will be back! Follow the smell of cooked chicken to find the entrance!

This is a great restaurant

Food Server didnt give me what I ordered, she forgot to add my other half of ribs order, they only brushed a bit of BBQ sauce on top and the rice was really salty and ribs were cold. Small portions of meat, potatoes, and veggies, they did add a lot of rice though. They also need to work on improving their communication abilities.

We have ordered take-out from here many times. We always enjoy the food the grilled Chicken is delicious and they use really potatoes to make the Parisian potatoes unlike some other places. Its always very busy in there so sometimes it takes a moment to be addressed which is understandable. We arrived a half hour early for our pick up time as we were in the area and they accommodated us which was awesome! Definitely recommended getting the big combo platters for any event!

I made a huge order to treat my team and everyone was so happy with the food! Fairly priced and huge portion. Recommend the chicken, coleslaw, cod fish sticks and tarts - all very delicious.

The portions here are small and price is higher, Ill go to the other Portuguese places over this one

Omg this place was so good first time getting there food and I will definitely go back and tell ppl about this place Parking: Parking really sucks here only a few spots but there is a strip mall across the street u could park there I guess...

Food is awesome. The grilled chicken and potatoes and rice and their amazing hot sauce. Once critique is they dont give enough hot sauce to the portions you order.

The chicken is better and cheaper than Swiss Chalet!

Gets the order wrong completely and then blames the customer for getting the order wrong. Disgusting customer service

We ordered food for a large party on Saturday last week. Went to pick up around 4/4:30, which is probably their busiest time on the busiest day of the week. I had to wait to receive my order, but understandably so because it was incredibly busy in there and the staff was working their butts off! I was impressed with how well i was taken care of given the situation. After leaving with my order, I had realized that i didn t receive a tray of rice that I had ordered. The gentlemen who was serving large orders, was incredibly helpful and realized that a mistake was made when the order was taken and handled it with his staff immediately. The rice was prepared fresh for me on the spot. While I was waiting, the gentleman invited me to sit down and brought me a complimentary coffee and pastry. Despite the hiccup in the order, I thought this was an exemplary demonstration of their customer service. To no surprise, the food was excellent as always, and our guests enjoyed it.

Truly delicious and fresh. THANK YOU Definitely coming back. Food

The best, their chicharrón is delicious. And that they speak Spanish is wonderful.

The servers are very nice, and the food was fresh and the portions were good. Cash only is a bit annoying but there is an ATM and many banks nearby.

The chicken was flavorless and burnt, very bad.

this place gets it right every time. xtra hot bbq chicken is amazing and do you guys make the coconut cake? because its also amazing.

This place is truly amazing and the quality always remains high! I aways go for the grilled chicken, its so delicious and also love the pulled pork sandwich which is divine, with juicy meat that melts in the mouth. Simply yummy! The seafood paella is also one of my favourites. Keep it up!

Great takeout food and service at a reasonable price

This used to be one of the best grilled chickens out there these last couple of years the chicken gets smaller and smaller. This is still my sons favourite place to eat, so for new years we ordered catering spent almost $400 worth of food. When my mom went to pick up she is a senior, asked for help to bring it to her car not only did they not help her they gave her attitude. Your customer service is one of the worst I ve ever experienced. Never coming back.

I m so incredibly disappointed with this business. I come here for lunch several times a month. The food is awesome, it s always packed, not much atmosphere but it s mostly a takeout place. Last time I was in, I inquired about catering. The man behind the counter said yeah no problem, just call us 1 day before and submit your order. Well I decided not to play with fire and called 3 days in advance. Day 1 - I called 3 times, no answer. Day 2 - I called in the morning, left a message. Called 3 more times, no answer, no call back. Day 3, call again the morning, leave a message begging for someone to call me back, I call ELEVEN more times over the course of my work. No answer. I m trying to have food catered for a funeral. Can t even get a call back over the course of 3 days. Now with 12 hours left to find somewhere else, I ve ordered from another Portuguese chicken place. Guess what, they picked up after ONE call. This place is pathetic. I will not be eating here ever again, and if this place goes out of business, this is exactly why.

The food is delicious as well as the attention of Miss Lulú, a super attentive Venezuelan, the guys are all attentive and pleasant.

Quality of the chicken has diminished a lot! My chicken tonight was mostly fat. WILL NOT BE GOING BACK, too sad as I ve going for over a decade. Food : 1/5

Use to be great the last couple times I bought it on ubereats, chicken tasted like it was grilled the day before and just microwaved please stop taking shortcuts

Delicious and tasty food at affordable price but only cash!!! you have available a portable ATM for your convinience. Good for take out! My favourite the roasted chicken (only $15) +rice +potatoes +greek salad! And enjoy!!! Can not leave without trying the tres leches is just heaven!

Best BBQ chicken and ribs. The potatoes are delicious.

Very delicious food, excellent service

Food was delicious!
