If you love Portuguese chicken, you might be happy to hear that a popular restaurant is expanding and has opened a brand new location in Oakville.

There are already two joints in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and this is the third.

Mario’s BBQ —a long-standing Portuguese chicken hotspot in Mississauga— is officially in town.

The owner of Mario’s BBQ, Jimmy Ferreira, tells inhalton.com the restaurant’s new location at 519 Dundas St. W. is slated to hold its grand opening in August.

“We love Oakville because of the growth it’s going though at the moment,” said Ferreira, adding “it is central to Milton and Burlington. Oakville has become and is becoming much more diverse. Everyone is very excited …”

The BBQ spot is in the Fortino’s plaza at Neyagawa Blvd.

Here’s what’s in store: the menu is full of traditional Portuguese dishes such as grilled and rotisserie chicken, their famous Piri Piri hot sauce, ribs, fish fillets and more.

This is one type of cuisine that Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Halton Hills really needs.

And if you can’t wait to get your hands on some, we’ve got you. Where can you also find Mario’s BBQ?

There’s one in Streetsville and another by 5&10, along Hurontario just south of Dundas St. in the 24-hour Shopper’s Drug Mart plaza.

Operators will be announcing a grand opening.
