Sabrosa is described as a lively, well located spot in Old Montreal offering Mexican and Latin street food with a warm, festive vibe and a pleasant outdoor terrace. The reviews praise freshness and flavor across the menu, with standout dishes including birria tacos, Al Pastor tacos, fish and shrimp tacos, ceviche, guacamole, papaya salad, and corn on the cob, along with house hot sauces and generous portions; drinks are generally tasty though not always standout, and some guests find them decent value for the location. Service is often noted as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with some servers earning special praise, while a few visits mention slower service during busy times or occasional inconsistencies in execution. The atmosphere, decor, and opportunity for people watching are repeatedly highlighted as positives, making Sabrosa feel like a go to option for a relaxed lunch or dinner; a few comments point to a touristy vibe and price considerations, but overall the place is viewed as a solid choice with high memories of flavor and a lively setting.
The MOST wonderful eating experience in Montreal thus far on our trip. Wow this restaurant is super welcoming & very well decorated. We had so many different items from the Menu & they were all impeccible. The 3 desserts we had with our coffees (they have three choices) were each so delicious!!! We didn't want to leave. So good. We were all very happy with our meals. A must visit place for a relaxing super delicious meal.
Best place I ate at in Montreal & for a crazy reasonable price! Beautiful location, we just walked in with no reservation during Canada Day, friendly staff, & amazing food.
I got the shrimp tacos & birria tacos which were insane. Also tried my friends enchilada which was also insane. Had a great time honestly. Would go back in a heartbeat.
Sabrosa is a beautiful place to dine in. The decor was absolutely divine & I will say the food was what really brought us it all together. You can never go wrong with birria tacos but the ones at Sabrosa were some of the most delicious & flavourful tacos I've ever had. The portions were generous, leaving all of us completely satisfied. Since we were a group of 6, we were charged a 5$ service fee & the waiter did not ask for additional tips, which we appreciated. We spent a great evening here & I will definitely be coming back to try the other items on the menu
Highly recommend getting food & drink or even just cocktails!
Wonderful decor, really lovely atmosphere & good selection on the menu. Super friendly waitress who was so attentive, gave us recommendations & was serving everyone so well. Thank you for your great service!
Ordered a couple cocktails which tasted so lovely - good layers of flavour, texture & presentation.
We tried the tuna starter which was tasty, maybe a little too fishy, but came with great guac & elements. Papaya salad was refreshing & was lots of it.
Then had the fried chicken tacos & pork tacos - pork was outstanding, chicken was probably more fried batter than actual chicken but it was still tasty & nice selection of hot sauces on the side.
Wish we could've tried the prawn ceviche or the beef biria tacos as those looked great too.
Only slight downside was the price - it adds up quickly! But then the service, drinks & food overall was tasty.
Had a decent experience at Sabrosa. Nice, quaint vibe with good service. Personally I feel the menu items offered are limited but that could also be the reason of a consistent taste of the food. Its also pocket friendly in my opinion.
We went on a weekend at lunch. It wasn't too busy since they hadn't been open for long. We waited for less than a minute in the entrance before a waiter came to seat us.
There menu isn't large but we were happy with the options. We ordered a calamari dish that was good in taste & quality & had a delicious chipotle sauce. For the meal itself, we ordered a mushroom quesadilla & guac. The mushroom quesadilla was a good meal & a good portion. The guac itself was nice & a good amount of tortilla chips to come with. We asked for hot sauce, & they brought two : one mild & one less mild. Though, they were voth reasonably spice.
Note : We split the foods & all the plates were good portions to split between 2 people.
I ordered an espresso martini. The waiter was kind enough to show me the glass it came in before I ordered. I am not a drinker & to say the least the drink wasn't too bad for someone who doesn't like alcohol.

Fantastic experience all around! The food was amazing. We ordered the butter chicken, garlic naan, & two mango lassis, & everything was rich, fresh, & full of flavour. The service truly made the night though. Mohit & Lena took great care of us &, despite saying she doesn't like sweets, Lena was easily the sweetest part of the experience, kind, attentive, & a pleasure to interact with! Big appreciation as well to Shubham & a special shoutout to Mohit for going above & beyond by bringing us extra naan even as they were closing up. That level of hospitality doesn't go unnoticed. An excellent team, great energy, & a place we'd happily return to!
Fantastic Mexican restaurant serving latin street food at its best! The tacos were out of this world & the staff was amazingly welcoming! The avocado dip was very fresh & tasty, the tacos melt in your mouth with the perfect balance of flavors. We ordered the Al Pastor Tacos & the Shrimp tacos- highly recommended!
