Ritz Caribbean Food.

jerk chicken... A great place to go for a cheap and quick lunch is Ritz Caribbean Food. They serve a variety of jamaican food including rotis, jerk chicken and patties. I walk by this place pretty often immediately noticed the sign advertising their $3.99 Jerk Chicken special (everyday 11am-3pm). This is for a small Jerk Chicken dinner, which includes a couple pieces of jerk chicken served on top of rice and coleslaw on the side. They also pour some kind of gravy on top, which goes great with the rice. The chicken itself is moderately spicy and you can taste all the different spices used to cook it. For those who can't handle spicy foods, for this deal, you can also get BBQ chicken instead of the Jerk chicken. This is a great deal for a quick takeout lunch when I'm downtown, but if I'm around North York, I still prefer the jerk chicken from Allwyn's Bakery (esp. the jerk sandwich!). The location I go to is at Yonge and College, although they have a few other locations in downtown toronto (listed below).
  • the $3.99 small jerk chicken deal is served in a square styrofoam box, but if you buy a small jerk chicken at regular price, they give you more in a larger rectangular styrofoam box (still a good deal though!)

Allwyn's Bakery.

jerk chicken... I've been going to Allwyn's Bakery a couple times a week for their jerk chicken, which is both cheap and delicious! Allwyn's is tiny hole in the wall type place in North York.

Everytime I come here, I grab their Jerk Chicken Sandwich ($3.50). They serve you a pretty large piece of Jerk Chicken along with coleslaw inside of a fresh fluffy coco bun. These things taste so good that I often have to grab 2 of them to satisfy my taste buds even if I'm already full. If a sandwich is not enough to fill you up, they also serve rice combos. The one pictured (top left) is a Small Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas ($6). They also serve fresh Jamaican Beef Patties (~$2) that they make themselves (bottom left pic: my friend James eating one of these patties). You can either buy these patties by themselves or by the dozen ($13.50) or half dozen ($7).
Allwyn's bakery is a great place to hit up when you're just looking to grab a cheap and quick bite. It is located in the Parkwoods Village Plaza (inside the walkway) at York Mills and Fenside.
