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.
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.
Upon arriving in Montreal, I was pleasantly surprised by the incredible experience at this restaurant. The birria I ordered was not only generously portioned but also packed with flavor. The margarita was equally impressive. However, what truly stood out to me was the exceptional service. Tom was attentive throughout, but Natalia's warm & genuine hospitality made our visit special. When she overheard that we were Brazilian, she played music that made us feel right at home. It's those small, thoughtful gestures that transform a good meal into a memorable experience. We will definitely be back!

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.
I recently dined at this restaurant & was thoroughly impressed. The food was delicious, bursting with flavor & creativity. The drinks were a standout, offering a unique twist that perfectly complemented the meal. Service was exceptional; the staff was attentive, friendly, & knowledgeable, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for anyone looking to indulge in great food & drinks while being well taken care of. Highly recommended!
Quelle belle surprise que cette adresse au milieu des nombreux restaurants peu raffinés de la Place Jacques Cartier ! Terrasse & salle sympathique, accueil chaleureux, service attentionné, plats joliment présentés & parfaitement assaisonnés (ceviche de crevettes, guacamole & une salade de tomates succulente). Nous y étions il y a 5 jours & nous y retournons aujourd'hui 🤗👍
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.

Les portions sont bonnes Les plats sont délicieux, guacamole un peu trop de lime mais cest bon. Birria la viande est généreuse Le service rapide & tout le personnel sympathique. Petit bémol : le pourboire commence à 18% sur la machine, je ne suis pas trop fan de cette pratique.
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.
