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.
We recently hosted a welcome dinner for all our friends at Sabrosa, & I cannot recommend this place enough! From the moment we booked the event, Carlito & the staff were incredibly helpful & accommodating, making the entire planning process a breeze. The team at Sabrosa went above & beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly on the day of the event. The staff was exceptionally friendly & professional, timing the food service perfectly so that our guests were never left waiting. We got the birria, chicken, & fish tacos, guac, & churros. All the tacos were amazing, & the churros were phenomenal! Our guests were raving about the meal all night long. If you're looking for a place that offers fantastic food, top-notch service, & a warm, welcoming atmosphere, look no further than Sabrosa. They truly made our event special, & we can't wait to come back!

We had a fantastic time at the farewell of our best friend moving to Chicago - Ismail gave us impeccable service & made the time even more special. The rest if us in Montreal will be coming back to Sabrosa (some of us are return comers) on the condition that we can meet Ismail again. Special shoutout to the fish & birria tacos!!!!!
Finally got a girls weekend away with my bestie. Stumbled into Sabrosa due to the gorgeous, twinkle light lit patio because we decided we needed tacos. They squeezed us in despite having the tables reserved, as long as we could be out within a specific time period. When I say that Ismael provided us with both an incredible experience, hand made, custom cocktails, & a wonderful send off... it made our night. The staff is amazing. The atmosphere is phenomenal. You won't regret your visit to Sabrosa.
super expérience :)) la bouffe est super bonne (mega coup de coeur pour les tacos birria), l'ambiance est agréable & le service d'ismael était excellent!

Amazing tacos! Coming from a Mexican this was authentic & delicious. We were served a delicious meal quickly & lots of gluten friendly options (I had the tacos birria).
We were a family of four, pretty hungry. The service was alright but the quality of food & taste was very much subpar. Also portions are quite small for the price you pay. I find the food was generally very oily so we felt unpleasantly heavy after the meal. We took birria tacos , fries, enchiladas & rice with beans. Compared to so many other places in Montreal including this kind if cuisine , this place kinda sucks. The only good thing is the ambiance probably, nothing else.
Nous avons tout simplement adoré le Sabrosa. Les tacos, la guacamole, les calmars, les cocktails étaient délicieux. Service très rapide !!! Super ambiance, bonne musique. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner. Je recommande 100%

Nous sommes venu manger à ce resto hier & tout était parfait! Tout avait l'air bon sur le menu alors nous avons suivi les conseils de notre serveur Leo & nous avons été ravis par la salade de papaye, les tacos birra & le ceviche de crevettes😋. La nourriture & le service étaient excellents, je reviendrai!
We loved our experience at Sabrosa! It was a hot & humid evening in Montreal so we chose indoor seating with air conditioning. We were attended to immediately (thank you Nabos & Leo!) & while it wasn't on the cocktail menu, they made me a frozen strawberry daiquiri upon request. It wasn't what I expected, given how they are in the US, but it was honestly BETTER! After three days in Montreal, I finally had a delicious drink. We ordered appetizers, a tuna ceviche that was crazy tasty, & grilled corn on the cob which was good but I was too busy eating every last morsel from the ceviche to really care. For our entrees, my husband got the beef tacos with pineapple & I ordered the chicken enchiladas, & I think my comment to him at the end of the meal, when I said "I freakin' loved every sip & every bite of what we had here", sums it up. As a side note, another patron near us spilled her glass of red wine (on to her pretty, white skirt) & multiple servers came to help her, cleaning up the table & floor & doing so in such a friendly way. On the other side of us was a family of three, the toddler being probably two. While he howled about something (like little kids do, no judgement here!!), one of the servers & I chatted about how someone was clearly very sad. He very funnily commented that it definitely wasn't due to the food. I was super impressed with everything, start to finish, from drinks to food to service to atmosphere. If I didn't live four hours away, I would come here often!!
Came for the patio, stayed for the tacos. We're usually very careful about being caught in a tourist trap around Old Port, but the food here was surprisingly really good!

Really good food, light on stomach but great in taste.. we ordered guacamole, corn on the cob, chicken tacos, chicken enchilada, fish tacos , sashimi .. everything was superb.
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!
Very oily tacos without hot sauce. It is a pity since the location & atmosphere are quite nice. A dish of three tacos like that would be an aperitif for gringos in Mexico
