Sabrosa draws praise for a lively Old Montreal setting and consistently fresh Mexican inspired dishes, with standouts including birria and al pastor tacos, fish and shrimp tacos, ceviche, guacamole, calamari, and a papaya salad, all noted for bold flavors and well balanced sauces. Drinks such as margaritas and micheladas are generally well reviewed and seen as good value, though a few experiences found cocktails or pricing not as impressive. Service is frequently highlighted as attentive and friendly, with staff going above and beyond in many visits, while some reviews mention slower pacing or uneven attention during busy times. The atmosphere, especially on the terrace, is described as vibrant and great for people watching, though a few readers find the area overly touristy. Overall Sabrosa is regarded as a reliable go to for flavorful, well presented meals at a reasonable price given the location, with a strong emphasis on fresh ingredients and welcoming service, and with some caveats about consistency and the touristy vibe.
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.
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
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!
