A very pretty decor Mexican food restaurant located in the centre of old Montreal. You can see the crowds & tourists if you choose to sit outside. Otherwise inside is very chic & uniquely decorated with large mirrors & unique wallpapers.

We visited on a Thursday evening around 6:30 & were lucky to be accommodated without a reservation as we were a small group however, definitely recommend a reservation at this place to be safe.

Food was good & came out to us fairly quickly.
We got the vegetarian tacos along with guacamole & chips. We also got the corn on cob. The food was fresh & delicious.

The service can be slightly improved. Our server was busy & not really able to check in on us. But nevertheless, we were able to locate her.

However, music was loud, making it very challenging for conversations. It doesn't help if you sit indoors near their station where they constantly grab plates & cutlery thus creating loud noises.

Overall, it's good food & vibes. Recommended.

I've come to Sabrosa 5+ times. It has been perfect every single time. The food & service have consistently been amazing. I went last night & sat at the bar. We were served by Alex & Thierry & they were absolute studs. Service was second to none & the same can be said about the conversation. I would recommend anyone to go who loves good tacos & great drinks. I plan to continue coming back whenever I can.

TLDR; Excellent food quality, service & ambiance. Worth the wait (if any), don't be fooled by the touristic area! Jade was a fantastic server, always timely & on point & asking the right questions & provided excellent service. Chef Felipe, mucho gracias! Him & his team fully knocked it out of the park, excellent ceviche, enchiladas, birria & drinks! Definitely will be back

The restaurant is cozy-I'd been there before-but the portions are too small for the price! The only plus is that the food is actually good.

I gave it a second chance, but I wouldn't go back a third time.

Great terrasse for some prime people watching in the heart of the Old Port! Birria tacos are a must! A bit pricey, but reasonable considering the location.
