ALBERT’S REAL JAMAICAN FOOD (558 Queen West, at Bathurst, 416-304-0767) Expect lineups at dinner time and after the bars close at this downtown outpost of the resto long popular at the corner of St. Clair and Vaughan. Minimal decor – a Bob Marley poster, a plant – but no one’s queing for the ambience. Though there’s a small stand-up counter, most take out. Best: slowly stewed bone-in Island-stylee jerk chicken with allspiced rice ‘n’ peas and JA slaw melt-in-the-mouth oxtail dinners salt-cod fritters fresh sugar cane juice. Other location: 542 St. Clair West, at Vaughan, 416-658-9445. Complete dinners for $10, including all taxes and a bottle of Ting. Open Monday to Wednesday 11:30 am to 3 am, Thursday to Sunday 11 am to 5 am. Cash only. Unlicensed. Access: barrier-free, no washrooms. Rating: NNN
