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.
Amazing restaurant!! Had a great selection of menu options! Had a fabulous drink served in a cactus cup! I ordered the enchiladas with a few tapas like the corn, ceviche, fries, & rice & beans! The best food fancy Mexican food I've ever had! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Also, Leo was the best waiter as he was so kind & helpful! Really amazing dining experience!

Merveilleux moment au Sabrosa, Tom pour le service était très chaleureux & courtois. Le ceviche de crevettes, la salade de papaye & les tacos de poissons ont satisfait nos papilles gustatives pour un prix très raisonnable. Je recommande sans réserve!
We loved our dinner here! Food was amazing & light but filling! We started with the shrimp ceviche & corn on the cob & I then got tacos Al pastor which were so tasty. Ismail, our server, made the experience even better. He was extremely knowledgeable of the menu & food, & ensured that we all got drinks that we were happy with! He curated drinks to our own individual tastes if we didn't like something on the menu, & overall made our experience 10x better. Great job Sabrosa & Ismail :)
One of the best meals I've had in recent memory! Great location right in Old Port, the terrace was absolutely lovely & not too hot, & our server Ismail (spelling?) was phenomenal - made great drink recommendations, was prompt & accurate, had excellent knowledge of the menu, & was an absolute delight to chat with! We got the ceviche, birria tacos, corn, & green papaya salad, & everything was incredible. Definitely on the pricier side but I was pleasantly surprised by how filling the food was - especially the tacos. Would come back, hands down - one of the best dining experiences I've had in Montreal!
This place is fantastic for its location. The mezcal tasting is cool, good food (ceviche is great). Such a nice vibe to be in the middle of the old port. Price was also very reasonable. An easy pick!

We were really impressed. Staff was friendly, menu was really well thought out, made me want to try everything. Food was amazing. The ceviche was exquisite, (I'll admit I had to remove the chile slices because it's was a little too spicy for me). Very well balanced & tasty. Birria tacos were excellent as well, a lot of flavour, everything was well balanced. A very well executed taco. But the knockout was the pastor tacos, they were absolutely dripping with flavour. So delicious!, we all tried it & it was everyone's favorite. The passion fruit lemonade was really tasty, & just acidic enough to taste the passion fruit. I agree that it would have been better with a little less ice
This was the best meal we have had in Montreal so far. Shrimp ceviche was so delicious, & the enchilada were very flavourful. Also the bartenders were fantastic. We brought our 9 year old daughter & she loved the fried chicken tacos.
I recently visited a Mexican restaurant that had an amazing cocktail called "Como la flor". It was made with white rum, coconut rum, lavanda & lime, & it tasted great! The green papaya salad was also very tasty, & the shrimp ceviche was delicious & full of flavor. The staff were extremely friendly & helpful. All in all, I had a great experience at this restaurant & I would definitely recommend it to others.
L'emplacement du restaurant est très bien situé au plien coeur du vieux-port, très bon service nôtre serveur était très gentil & sympathique, côté nourriture était succulent, les calmars très bien pannes avec une bonne sauce mayonnaise épicé, le ceviche succulent très bon goût bien mariné, les tacos au poulet frie miamm très bon avec un petit goût épicé c'était supe
