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.
The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere-clean & air-conditioned. The staff were very professional & attentive, consistently refilling our water glasses without us having to ask. The restaurant serves Mexican cuisine, & the food tasted excellent. Overall, it offered great value for location.
If you like tacos…. This is the place. Patio is nice. Servers are friendly & professional. Food is fresh & served quick. Whatever your favourite flavor is they all taste delicious.
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.
We chose to dine on the terrace since there was a significant wait for a table indoors, which was quite busy. Our food arrived promptly & was absolutely delicious. The service was quick, & the staff friendly & efficient, making
our experience enjoyable.

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.
Magré que le service & la cuisine etait bonne, les cocktails étaient vraiment affreux, j'ai le sentiment de me faire avoir pour avoir payer des cocktails bien fade & chères… Be recommande pour la nourriture mais pas pour les boissons…

Omg this was probably the best Mexican food I've had in a looooooong time. I wanted to go back but there wasn't enough time. Only critique would be the beer pints seem to be quite small but the food was amazing!
I wish I got his name but our server was exceptional, the lovely Hispanic man with the long hair. Amazing service. Amazing food. The street corn 10/10 amazing love love love
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.
Tout d'abord, l'accueil de Morgane est parfaite
On s'assoit, le
Service est rapide, la
Nourriture est très
Bonne (une des places dans le
Vieux Montréal où on ne se fait pas avoir par l'attrape touriste! )
Cette place c'est un GO TO
Very busy the night we were there. Very slow service. Our waiter was cool, but the whole experience was lacking attention & any sense of being paid much attention to. Beautiful building.
