Une très chouette expérience. Peut-être le meilleur mexicain de ma vie (pas nécessairement de la vôtre). J'ai adoré mon effiloché de boeuf. Ma femme ses enchiladas & ma fille sa salade.

Delicious lunch at Sabrosa. The server was very knowledgeable & friendly, & helped me with modifications to order some vegan dishes. There are only a few dishes that can be made vegan, but I highly recommend the tomato salad, fries, & kale & quinoa salad. Just be sure to tell your server (most are just without cheese/mayo). I'm impressed with the kitchen's flexibility with this. The vegetables are incredibly fresh, & theres so much care put into the flavours & presentation. I'd come back in a heartbeat.

We ate from Montreal & normally we won't go to places full of tourists. HOWEVER, the tacos & salads we had were absolutely delishes & plentiful.
We will be back & recommend your restaurant to our friends.
Kudos to the chef & the delightful staff ❤?

Not a good restaurant if you need gluten free - could only have a salad

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.

We went to Sabrosa for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. The restaurant is located at a prime corner in old town facing the port. This area of old town is lined with many restaurants & street vendors/artists.
The menu has limited vegetarian options given their rice & beans used chicken stock. We ordered guacamole & chips, the quinoa & kale salad & the vegan tacos.
The guacamole & chips were what we expected. The quinoa & kale salad was a simple (mostly kale) salad with a zesty dressing. The vegan tacos come with three tacos, are soft tacos & the filling is guacamole topped with cooked mushrooms. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in lack of flavor. The tacos were stuffed well, however.
We sat outside, though the ambience inside is also nice. Only downside to outside on a nice day is the random bee(s) that keep flying around, trying to land on you or the food.

We got the papaya salad, fish tacos & braised beef tacos! The tacos were really good. I felt like the salad could've used a bit more sauce. Overall we sat outside in the middle of Old Montreal, vibes were great.

We ordered shrimp 🍤 tacos, mushroom quesadilla & green papaya salad. Shrimp tacos were great, very tasty. Mushroom quesadilla was alright. Green papaya was tangy, not really sweet. Food was served fast. It was hot & we didn't sit outside. It'd be nice to sit outside in summer on a cooler day or at evening times.
