Sabrosa apparaît comme une adresse mexicaine prisée du Vieux Montréal, avec une ambiance festive et une terrasse agréable; les plats phares tels que les tacos birria, les tacos al pastor, les tacos de poisson et de crevettes, le ceviche et la salade de papaye, le guacamole et les sauces maison reçoivent régulièrement des avis positifs pour leur fraîcheur, leur saveur et leur présentation soignée; le menu propose aussi des options véganes et des accompagnements variés, et de nombreux convives apprécient le guacamole et les sauces; le service est généralement chaleureux et attentif, mais certains retours évoquent un service plus lent en période d affluence et des expériences où l on se sent peu prioritaire; l endroit est parfois perçu comme touristique, mais l emplacement, la décoration et l énergie du lieu séduisent, et les cocktails peuvent varier selon la soirée; dans l ensemble, Sabrosa est recommandée pour les amateurs de tacos et de cuisine mexicaine avec une expérience conviviale et des prix raisonnables pour le cadre, et il est fréquent d y revenir pour tester d autres tacos et sauces maison.
Highly recommend getting food & drink or even just cocktails!
Wonderful decor, really lovely atmosphere & good selection on the menu. Super friendly waitress who was so attentive, gave us recommendations & was serving everyone so well. Thank you for your great service!
Ordered a couple cocktails which tasted so lovely - good layers of flavour, texture & presentation.
We tried the tuna starter which was tasty, maybe a little too fishy, but came with great guac & elements. Papaya salad was refreshing & was lots of it.
Then had the fried chicken tacos & pork tacos - pork was outstanding, chicken was probably more fried batter than actual chicken but it was still tasty & nice selection of hot sauces on the side.
Wish we could've tried the prawn ceviche or the beef biria tacos as those looked great too.
Only slight downside was the price - it adds up quickly! But then the service, drinks & food overall was tasty.
We went on a weekend at lunch. It wasn't too busy since they hadn't been open for long. We waited for less than a minute in the entrance before a waiter came to seat us.
There menu isn't large but we were happy with the options. We ordered a calamari dish that was good in taste & quality & had a delicious chipotle sauce. For the meal itself, we ordered a mushroom quesadilla & guac. The mushroom quesadilla was a good meal & a good portion. The guac itself was nice & a good amount of tortilla chips to come with. We asked for hot sauce, & they brought two : one mild & one less mild. Though, they were voth reasonably spice.
Note : We split the foods & all the plates were good portions to split between 2 people.
I ordered an espresso martini. The waiter was kind enough to show me the glass it came in before I ordered. I am not a drinker & to say the least the drink wasn't too bad for someone who doesn't like alcohol.

Sabrosa is definitely a tourist restaurant, but a fun one. Drinks were fine, service was great, & the tacos & calamari were really tasty. The best part is sitting outside, enjoying the Old Montreal vibe, & people-watching. A solid spot if you don't mind the touristy atmosphere.
Malheureusement, je crois que malgrès les reviews, cette fois je ne suis pas capable de donner plus que 2 étoiles. La cause de cette note est que lorsqu' on s'est rendu sur les lieux, nous avons était prit en charge que un long moment après nous avoir assigné une table, personne ne s'est réelement occupé de nous. Il a fallut qu'on demande un booster pour qu'on nous dissent: votre serveur va s'en occuper... Après, nos drinks sont arrivé 30 minutes après...d'attente entre temps. Suite à ça, c'était un autre jeune homme ( celui qui nous a apporté nous drinks) que je lui ai dis que cela fait un bout qu'on attendait & si c'était possible d'avoir au moins des frites pour les enfants, en bas âges... Le restaurant n'a pas de menus enfants & les toilettes ne sont pas adapter pour changer les couches. Nous sommes arrivé au allentours de 3pm & avons sortie de là vers les 4h45pm... Total de 1h45 environ pour manger des tacos. Mais, je crois que le plus insultant c'était d'être laisser là & n'avoir aucune attention au client. Le ceviche aux crevettes (environ 125 grammes dans mon assiette) était très bon mais pour le prix c'était un peu élèvé. Mon drink à 19$ : 123 soleil, il était bon. J'en aurais pris certainement un 2e mais personne ne m'a jamais demandé si je désirer un autre... De plus, je ne pourrais même pas dire s'il y a des desserts, car on nous a jamais demandé si on voulait autre chose... ni vu un menu desserts... Mettons qu'on s'est sentis comme un numéro. Le pourquoi? Car il y a eu un groupe qui est arrivé 20 min environ après nous & eux ils ont étaient servis avant nous. Leur nourriture est arrivée avant nous qui étions là plus de 1heure déjà. & c'est là, que je me suis levé pour voir un autre employé que lui il est allé voir ce qui se passer... je vous rappelle qu'il y avait 2 enfants avec nous. Quelle désagrèble expérience nous avons eux. Vous savez quand c'est le client qui doit se lever & doit aller voir ce qui se passe...Un des enfant avait renversé du jus sur la table, JE ME SUIS LEVÉ MOI MÊME POUR ALLER CHERCHER DE SERVIETTES... Encore une fois personne ne nous a demandé ni offert de l'aide... Profondément déçue. J'aurais voulu parler au propriétaire directement car cela est inacceptable. & à un moment notre serveur est venu s'est excusé...pour l'inconvéniant..de l'attente. Peut-être qu'on nous a juste oublié... malgrès que lorsqu'on était arrivé l'endroit à l'intérieur n'était pas full.. & il y avait quand même 4 cuisiniers...trouvez l'erreur?
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!!! 🌮🌮🌮

The drinks were really good & quite generous. I got the birria, it was really good but a bit dry to my taste (even with the sauce). The service was good & quick.
Sat outside. Beautiful patio. Great decor. Service was a bit slow. Only had 2 drinks & 1 app. Calamari were not good at all. Called spiced calamari & had 0 flavour & felt undercooked. Would go again to try more food as the tacos looked great.
Great tacos & guacamole. The barria & fish tacos are top tier. The fish tacos were a bit to saucy making the side tortillas break but they were good. Drinks were also unique.
My first time visiting this restaurant & I highly recommend it, the food was great I recommend the shrimp ceviche & birrias tacos, como la flor drink love it, it's soft & sweet, & what really make the different was the attention the server was sweet & the Manager (Morgan) was really attentive, friendly & polite, I'll definitely come back.
We went to this place to take a few bites in between bars hopping, not hoping for much & yet, it managed to deceive us. The service was slow, it took at least 8mins to have our glasses filled with water & another 10mins to have our drinks order taken. The place was not busy for a saturday (kind of why we chose the place, thinking it would be faster than other places) The food took another 45mins & the waitress went back because she wasn't sure if we got birria or chicken tacos. The food was cold & not tasty. High deception. Overall, it seemed like a tourist trap or a young crowd of people who dont really know quality food. Save your money, for that money, eat a poutine.
Albacore tostada & Shrimp Ceviche for apps & al pastor tacos, fish tacos, with a side of rice & beans for dinner! Drinks were delish (bloody samaritan, the chàvez, & 123 soleil). They happily substituted gin for vodka in the 123 soleil!
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!

The veggie tacos were yumm!! We wanted to have something light for two people & they added an extra taco the order & it was a comfort dinner! It was 12 deg C & freezing, so sat on the corner with heater! Very nice experience. My friend ordered fish tacos & some drinks & she loved them too.
Sabrosa is a lovely restaurant located in the heart of Old Montreal, we enjoyed our meals & drinks, Natalia & Tom was very helpful & super kind, Natalia even put my phone to charge. Definitely recommend this place!
Had cocktails & tacos after days of French food. The food was a delicious & drinks refreshing - especially in a cactus cup! Service was prompt & friendly. Accommodated our pick kids with no onions or cilantro. The sunny weather made our time on the patio even better. Would definitely come again!
