Sabrosa is noted for its lively Old Montreal setting, stylish decor, and welcoming vibe, offering a menu built around Mexican-inspired dishes where birria tacos, al pastor, and shrimp tacos are frequently highlighted for flavor, along with fresh guacamole and a range of salsas; portions are generally generous and the atmosphere on the terrace or inside is described as tasty, festive, and family-friendly, though some guests find the menu limited for vegetarians and the authenticity of flavors not always aligned with traditional Mexican cuisine; service is praised when staff are attentive, but experiences of slower service and occasional inconsistencies in dish execution or value were noted, including one report of undercooked churros and another of a heavy sauce affecting certain tacos; overall Sabrosa is seen as a solid, fun option in the touristy Jacques Cartier area with good value for money, a strong taco lineup, and a lively scene that invites a return to try other dishes.
surprisingly great food in a restaurant in such a tourist hotspot. loved the fish tacos & green papaya salad & guacamole. Good portion sizes too. Ismael our waiter was super friendly & made the whole experience a lovely evening.
Absolutely loved the birria tacos & papaya salad at this cozy Mexican spot! The flavors were incredible. However, the drinks were a bit lacking with 90% ice & 10% drink, which was disappointing. But I 100% recommend this place!

Nous avons passé un super moment au Sabrosa. Kevin était au petit soin pour nous ainsi que son collègue Carlito. Le cevice de crevette ainsi que la salade de papaye sont à goûter, cocktails délicieux 👌🏼 Merci pour ce superbe moment.
Je ne laisse pas souvent des commentaires sur les restaurants car la plupart du temps l'expérience est sympa mais sans plus. Souvent la hype des endroits branchés se fait au détriment de la qualité des plats. Nous y avions été un lundi, un peu par hasard car il n'y a pas beaucoup de restaurants ouverts les lundi. Sabrosa se distingue des autres places que j'ai visitées a Montreal surtout par la qualité de sa cuisine. Étonnant vu sa situation dans l'hyper-centre touristique. Nous étions 2 & avons pris salade de papaye, salade sabrosa, les deux ne sont pas boring, & on sent que les produits frais travaillés sont de bonne qualité. Puis Tacos Birria & vegan tacos. Je n'ai pas visité tous les restaurants a Tacos de la ville mais pour moi ce sont les meilleurs. Nous avons pris du vin au verre, & POUR UNE FOIS, je n'ai pas été déçue. La carte des vins est diversifiée, next time ca sera la bouteille, je suis sure de trouver un excellent rapport qualité prix. Le restaurant a une super vibe, musique bossa nova, pour une ambiance cozy & tamisée, parfaite pour un lundi. Je me suis surprise a shazamer deux trois fois. Bref on sent qu'on a affaire a des passionnés & a du très bon boulot. Hâte d'y retourner, en terrasse cette fois, quand elle aura ouvert. Vu ma bonne première impression, je suis curieuse de découvrir leurs cocktails. Bref une excellente surprise. Hasta la vista.
Amazing food & vibes! We got the birria, El pastor & fish tacos. El pastor were my favorite but they were all good. Papaya salad & corn on the cob. All tasted great. Service was quick & attentive & shoutout to their playlist 🔥 great vibes.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Mexican restaurant. The fish tacos & papaya salad were excellent choices. The diverse selection of tequila added a delightful touch to our meal. Highly recommended for a flavorful dining experience.
Food was good, we came 2 times & first time we did not ask for crispy tacos & it was a mistake. Second time we had crispy tacos & it was very tasty😋also salad & stakes are good as well. Great server & cozy atmosphere. Thanks!

Magnifiquement situé dans le vieux-Montréal avec un service fort sympathique, ce petit resto a une belle terrasse, une salade papaye verte & des tacos birrias incroyables!
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.
