Review Summary

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.

Had a wonderful Experience .
Tried the tacos & the Enchiladas. Both were amazing
100% recommend if you're looking for a place to eat Mexican food in & around the streets of the Old port area.
Prices were not bad as well

Stopped in here for lunch & had an awesome time. Everything we ate was very good but the beef tacos were a standout: a million calories of utter deliciousness. Also special mention to Felix, our waiter, who was chatty, charming & sweet; he added even more fun to our experience.

Le décor est superbe, mais malheureusement le service ne reflète pas du tout le lieu. Nous sommes arrivés à 20h45, le restaurant ferme à 22 h, & dès notre arrivée, la serveuse semblait pressée de prendre notre commande. Le verre de vin que j'avais choisi n'était pas disponible (la carte n'était pas à jour), & même si elle m'a proposé de goûter les deux autres options offertes, elle est revenue avec les verres… en même temps que nos assiettes…

En tant que serveuse moi-même, je trouve ça étonnant : les breuvages devraient arriver avant le repas, surtout si on veut accélérer le service. Pendant le repas, les deux serveuses n'ont cessé de faire des allers-retours dans la salle pour voir si nous avions terminé - franchement désagréable & pressant.

Les tacos au crevette de mon copain étaient aussi beaucoup trop pleins de sauce, ce qui les rendait moins bons que d'habitude (c'était sa troisième visite & il m'a dit qu'ils étaient normalement bien meilleurs).

Bref, un très bel endroit, mais le service a complètement gâché notre expérience. Dommage, car nous étions déjà conscients de ne pas nous éterniser après la fermeture.
Je ne recommanderais pas cet endroit & nous n'y retournerons pas.

Made reservations for a Saturday night at this Latin American restaurant in Montreal .

Seated immediately & our waitress was great help & fun . We had an order of guacamole & tortilla chips . Nice & creamy guacamole.

Biria tacos with beef & Monterey cheese were awesome . They are accompanied by a beef consume which may be a bit heavy for some .

I enjoyed my dinner & despite service a little slow it was worth the wait for a Saturday night

All tacos are corn based making the meal gluten friendly

Sabroso is better than it has to be. Located on major strollway in tourist Montreal, the people watching has some fun to it if you are in the mood. The food was excellent. Al Pastor tacos full of flavor with well crafted marinade. Tuna empanada very fresh with lots of good radish & onion accents. Guacamole a little mild for my taste but fresh. Server was working very hard with too many tables & not enough support. Very personable young guy. Sit outside & just soak in the fashion show outside. You might get some tips🇨🇦😂

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.

Sabrosa is definitely a tourist restaurant, but a fun one. Drinks were fine, service was great, & the tacos & calamari were really tasty. The best part is sitting outside, enjoying the Old Montreal vibe, & people-watching. A solid spot if you don't mind the touristy atmosphere.

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.

Malheureusement, je crois que malgrès les reviews, cette fois je ne suis pas capable de donner plus que 2 étoiles. La cause de cette note est que lorsqu' on s'est rendu sur les lieux, nous avons était prit en charge que un long moment après nous avoir assigné une table, personne ne s'est réelement occupé de nous. Il a fallut qu'on demande un booster pour qu'on nous dissent: votre serveur va s'en occuper... Après, nos drinks sont arrivé 30 minutes après...d'attente entre temps. Suite à ça, c'était un autre jeune homme ( celui qui nous a apporté nous drinks) que je lui ai dis que cela fait un bout qu'on attendait & si c'était possible d'avoir au moins des frites pour les enfants, en bas âges... Le restaurant n'a pas de menus enfants & les toilettes ne sont pas adapter pour changer les couches. Nous sommes arrivé au allentours de 3pm & avons sortie de là vers les 4h45pm... Total de 1h45 environ pour manger des tacos. Mais, je crois que le plus insultant c'était d'être laisser là & n'avoir aucune attention au client. Le ceviche aux crevettes (environ 125 grammes dans mon assiette) était très bon mais pour le prix c'était un peu élèvé. Mon drink à 19$ : 123 soleil, il était bon. J'en aurais pris certainement un 2e mais personne ne m'a jamais demandé si je désirer un autre... De plus, je ne pourrais même pas dire s'il y a des desserts, car on nous a jamais demandé si on voulait autre chose... ni vu un menu desserts... Mettons qu'on s'est sentis comme un numéro. Le pourquoi? Car il y a eu un groupe qui est arrivé 20 min environ après nous & eux ils ont étaient servis avant nous. Leur nourriture est arrivée avant nous qui étions là plus de 1heure déjà. & c'est là, que je me suis levé pour voir un autre employé que lui il est allé voir ce qui se passer... je vous rappelle qu'il y avait 2 enfants avec nous. Quelle désagrèble expérience nous avons eux. Vous savez quand c'est le client qui doit se lever & doit aller voir ce qui se passe...Un des enfant avait renversé du jus sur la table, JE ME SUIS LEVÉ MOI MÊME POUR ALLER CHERCHER DE SERVIETTES... Encore une fois personne ne nous a demandé ni offert de l'aide... Profondément déçue. J'aurais voulu parler au propriétaire directement car cela est inacceptable. & à un moment notre serveur est venu s'est excusé...pour l'inconvéniant..de l'attente. Peut-être qu'on nous a juste oublié... malgrès que lorsqu'on était arrivé l'endroit à l'intérieur n'était pas full.. & il y avait quand même 4 cuisiniers...trouvez l'erreur?

What a fantastic spot! We had the birria tacos, guacamole, & a michelada - everything was absolutely delicious. The tacos were rich & flavorful, the guacamole fresh & perfectly seasoned, & the michelada was the perfect refreshing drink to go with it all on a hot summer day . Great food, great vibes!!! 🌮🌮🌮

Agree with others, the fish tacos were a bit small, but the flavors made up for it. I can't stop thinking about them. You have to try the house made hot sauces! Attentive service & they sat me right away. The outdoor patio is really cute & great for people watching.

This is probably one of the best meals we've had while traveling. We love Mexican cuisine & hold it to a very high standard. This exceeds expectations. Highly recommend the tacos El Pastor & the Birria tacos. We enjoyed it so much, we ordered a second round of dishes of our favorites. For just a group of four, we were absolutely stuffed, but we couldn't stop. It was so good.

Bons cocktails, bonnes entrées & tacos excellents pour des prix raisonnables considérant que ce resto se trouve sur la place Jacques Cartier. Les portions de tacos étaient plus grosses que ce que je pensais. Nous avons réussi à avoir une table pour 5 sur la terrasse un vendredi soir sans réservation.

We had an amazing experience! Food was delicious i had the shrimp tacos! Ambiance was great.

Sat outside. Beautiful patio. Great decor. Service was a bit slow. Only had 2 drinks & 1 app. Calamari were not good at all. Called spiced calamari & had 0 flavour & felt undercooked. Would go again to try more food as the tacos looked great.
