Sabrosa is described as a lively, well located spot in Old Montreal offering Mexican and Latin street food with a warm, festive vibe and a pleasant outdoor terrace. The reviews praise freshness and flavor across the menu, with standout dishes including birria tacos, Al Pastor tacos, fish and shrimp tacos, ceviche, guacamole, papaya salad, and corn on the cob, along with house hot sauces and generous portions; drinks are generally tasty though not always standout, and some guests find them decent value for the location. Service is often noted as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with some servers earning special praise, while a few visits mention slower service during busy times or occasional inconsistencies in execution. The atmosphere, decor, and opportunity for people watching are repeatedly highlighted as positives, making Sabrosa feel like a go to option for a relaxed lunch or dinner; a few comments point to a touristy vibe and price considerations, but overall the place is viewed as a solid choice with high memories of flavor and a lively setting.
I recommend this place to everyone... the taste of food was incredible... Our servers Amelia & Aylin were the best!!! Thank you for taking such a good care of us!!!
We were really impressed. Staff was friendly, menu was really well thought out, made me want to try everything. Food was amazing. The ceviche was exquisite, (I'll admit I had to remove the chile slices because it's was a little too spicy for me). Very well balanced & tasty. Birria tacos were excellent as well, a lot of flavour, everything was well balanced. A very well executed taco. But the knockout was the pastor tacos, they were absolutely dripping with flavour. So delicious!, we all tried it & it was everyone's favorite. The passion fruit lemonade was really tasty, & just acidic enough to taste the passion fruit. I agree that it would have been better with a little less ice

Food was pretty good & our waiter (french guy with the streches) was excellent, but we came under the impression that Taco Tuesday would get us discount tacos & apparently that's only if you sit inside? Kinda stupid given how nice of a terrace they have.

We were very pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant in the middle of a tourist sea of pizza & burger & routine. We had great service, abd really fresh, delicious food. I highly recommend eating there when you are visiting the old port area.
Je trouve que le service est très bien , la cuisine était vraiment bien présenter & c'était très bon & ambiance est très dans le thème est très dans la vibe de vote restaurent!
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!

Amelia was amazing, her service was wonderful. Not my first time, food is always good. But the server made it a 1000% time better. Shes not too much but her service is perfect ill be back for her & her amazing service
Best mocktail I have had & decent strength cocktails. Every dish is flavourful. Orange cake yum! Not expensive for what you get. One of my favourite places in Old Port.
Amazing experience, great food. Service was one of the best, smiling waiters giving good advice & genuine. Good job to the team I will come back for sure & with friends for a drink & tacos! Recommending the birria tacos & fries!
Merci pour le service rapide & de qualité. Nous étions 4 adultes & 2 enfants (un peu turbulents) & le personnel a tout fait pour rendre notre expérience agréable & conviviale. Les plats étaient délicieux (mention spécial pour les tacos au boeuf & au porc).

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.
Price for quantity ❌ Flavour ❌ Drinks ❌ Instagram friendly ✅ This place looks really nice, but the food doesn't taste as good as it looks. Even though the dishes are pretty, they're just okay in flavor. I tried the express menu, but it didn't fill me up. The cocktails were tasty, but they had too much ice & not enough drink. The guacamole was way too expensive for the little bit they gave you. They gave you more chips than guacamole, which was disappointing. Compared to other places in Montreal, they don't give you few guacamole here.
