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.

Everything was outstanding- starting with the ceviche, which was the best I've ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. Hoping to be back!
We got the corn, birria tacos, & Al pastor tacos. Coming from California I actually found the tacos from here really good! In my personal opinion, the birria tacos were the best I have ever tried. Our waiter was awesome. The cocktails were delicious.

I tried this restaurant on a whim & really enjoyed it. We were sitting on the terrace at first, but since there were too many bees, we moved indoors. We had the albacore tostada, birria tacos, & fish tacos-they were all delicious.
There weren't many people inside; on our side, we were the only ones. The staff were young & friendly.
They also have a secret bar near the bathroom, which I'm definitely planning to try one day.
There's no dedicated parking-street parking is limited, & if you can't find a spot, you'll need to pay for a nearby parking lot.

We loved visiting Sabrosa while on a girls trip in Montreal. It's right in the middle of all of the fun that Old Port has to offer. We enjoyed the tacos & loved that there were vegan options. Would love to visit again.
Cadre très cosy
Belle découverte
Cuisine avec du goût & de qualité
Par contre le sourire de la serveuse a disparu aussitôt qu'elle n'a pas eu le pourboire escompté.. incroyable. 🧐
Les pourboires sont de mises dans tout Montréal.(pourboire suggéré 18%,20%,25% de la note )
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.
