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.
Le restaurant est très bien situé & facile d'accès. Il n'y avait plus de place à une table, mais étant seule, manger au bar ne m'a pas dérangée. Les tacos étaient vraiment délicieux, je me suis régalée. Les cocktails que j'ai pu goûter étaient tout aussi bons. Les barmans étaient sympa, l'ambiance était bonne, bref : je vous recommande vivement de tester !
Nous sommes restés en terrasse & avons passé un bon moment, la musique un peu forte. Nous avons pris des tacos al pastor, ce n'était pas de véritables tacos al pastor mexicains mais nous avons eu trois tacos bien fournis & plutôt savoureux. Les sauces étaient servis dans des récipients en plastique, dommage, dommage. Les churros étaient servís avec de la cajeta, pas mauvais. Le personnel est très aimable & attentionné, très bon point. Pour 2 assiettes de tacos & deux churros, nous avons payé 50 dollars canadiens auxquels il faut ajouter les taxes... plus le pourboire 18 ou 25 ou 35 pour cent, chacun jugera du rapport qualité prix selon ses critères.
Chloe & Natalia helped us last night. They were both wonderful. I had fish tacos, my wife had the enchiladas, & our daughter had the poulet enfantes. We split chips & guacamole. Everything was delicious & of the ten days we had of vacation in Montreal, we ate here on three occasions.
The location in Old Port Montreal is fantastic! The fish tacos were a bit small, but the flavors were great, & the service was super friendly. The mocktails were amazing! I'd definitely recommend this place.
Calamari was good, tacos were okay. If you want authentic food this isn't the place for it. Great service though & location is perfect for a night out.

Great location & outdoor heated patio. Situated right where the tourist area is. The pricing is high as such. Got seated immediately on a Thursday night, although the patio was busy. Birria tacos are fantastic & filled well. Could've used a little more salt though. The corn was also good. Service is good. Overall had a good time.
Food: Despite paying a premium of $23 for three small birria tacos, the meat was dry & flavorless, & the accompanying birria dipping sauce lacked both thickness & taste. To make matters worse, we had to request salt to enhance the flavor. Service: The initial service was fast, with our food order taken within 5 minutes. However, the experience quickly deteriorated. A different person brought our food, & we never saw our original server again until we had to flag him down for water. To our surprise, he immediately presented us with the bill instead of addressing our request. He didn't seem very happy to be there or to serve us. I kind of expected this but this restaurant is in a touristic area, where the tourist is paying for over priced food. The least you could do, if the food isn't great, is to provide good service. Lastly, we had an upset stomach for the rest of the day, so there was definitely something going on with that meat they put in the tacos. Will definitely not go back.
Ceviche 100% good Tacos de Birria 100% good Fried tacos 🌮 100% good Excellent food for everyone, I really recommend this restaurant, the stuff is so amazing & courteous. UNO de los mejores restaurantes latinos en Montreal
My family loved our experience here. Food was great! We had calamari, fish tacos, birria tacos & the steak. Very impressed either the steak & tacos. & to top it off they brought my dog a water bowl when we were being seated. I appreciate that very much!

The service & atmosphere were good, but the food was sub par in my opinion. The vegan tacos were cold & seemed to be made with canned mushrooms, & they were out of guacamole & fish tacos.
I give it 2 star only for it's friendly staff. Beef taco & bean/rice I had was awful 😖 it was too oily & not tasting good 😑 I spent 40 cad but really did not worth it.. I hope they improve
The veggie tacos were yumm!! We wanted to have something light for two people & they added an extra taco the order & it was a comfort dinner! It was 12 deg C & freezing, so sat on the corner with heater! Very nice experience. My friend ordered fish tacos & some drinks & she loved them too.
Bonjour, Parisiens de passage à Montréal, avons déjeuné par hasard, attirés par la terrasse & les plats servis! Nous avons été ravis par l'accueil & le service de TOM que nous y sommes retournés . A recommander chaudement! Bravo! pour les tacos au poulet frit & le gâteau à l'orange & rhum sans oublier les mocktails.
I tried few dishes here, corns, vegan tacos, guacamole, fries. Everything was amazing with good atmosphere & vibes of old Montreal was amazing. I recommend this place for good Mexican food in Montreal.
Had cocktails & tacos after days of French food. The food was a delicious & drinks refreshing - especially in a cactus cup! Service was prompt & friendly. Accommodated our pick kids with no onions or cilantro. The sunny weather made our time on the patio even better. Would definitely come again!
