Dans l'ensemble, Sabrosa est apprécié pour son cadre animé dans le vieux Montréal, sa déco soignée et son ambiance accueillante, avec un menu axé sur une cuisine mexicaine inspirée qui met en valeur les tacos birria, les tacos al pastor et les tacos aux crevettes, ainsi que du guacamole frais et une variété de salsas; les portions sont généralement généreuses et l'atmosphère, en terrasse comme à l'intérieur, est décrite comme savoureuse, festive et adaptée aux familles, même si certains clients trouvent le menu limité côté options végétariennes et que l'authenticité des saveurs ne correspond pas toujours à la cuisine mexicaine traditionnelle; le service est salué pour son attention et sa gentillesse lorsque le personnel est disponible, mais des expériences avec un service plus lent et des incohérences dans l'exécution ou la valeur ont été notées, notamment un commentaire sur des churros mal cuits et un autre sur une sauce trop lourde qui a altéré le goût de certains tacos; dans l'ensemble, Sabrosa est considéré comme une option solide et agréable dans le quartier touristique de Place Jacques-Cartier avec un bon rapport qualité-prix, une gamme de tacos convaincants et une ambiance dynamique qui incite à revenir pour essayer d'autres plats.
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 to Sabrosa for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. The restaurant is located at a prime corner in old town facing the port. This area of old town is lined with many restaurants & street vendors/artists.
The menu has limited vegetarian options given their rice & beans used chicken stock. We ordered guacamole & chips, the quinoa & kale salad & the vegan tacos.
The guacamole & chips were what we expected. The quinoa & kale salad was a simple (mostly kale) salad with a zesty dressing. The vegan tacos come with three tacos, are soft tacos & the filling is guacamole topped with cooked mushrooms. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in lack of flavor. The tacos were stuffed well, however.
We sat outside, though the ambience inside is also nice. Only downside to outside on a nice day is the random bee(s) that keep flying around, trying to land on you or the food.
We got the papaya salad, fish tacos & braised beef tacos! The tacos were really good. I felt like the salad could've used a bit more sauce. Overall we sat outside in the middle of Old Montreal, vibes were great.
We ordered shrimp 🍤 tacos, mushroom quesadilla & green papaya salad. Shrimp tacos were great, very tasty. Mushroom quesadilla was alright. Green papaya was tangy, not really sweet. Food was served fast. It was hot & we didn't sit outside. It'd be nice to sit outside in summer on a cooler day or at evening times.
Sabrosa is by far the best restaurant at Place Jacques-Cartier. The location is prime, & the food was outstanding. The salads & ceviche were incredibly fresh & flavorful, & the tacos were delicious as well. The service was warm, attentive, & efficient. Highly recommended!

We had an absolutely lovely experience dining here. Here's what we ate:
- Papaya salad: It's not the same as Thai salads. Taste wise okay!
- Corn on the cob: Excellent!
- Fish tacos: Was good. Missed seasoning. Could have used more salt.
- Chicken tacos: Super flavorful. Really enjoyed these.
- The Obsession cocktail was really good.
Justin was a great server to us. :)
Highly recommend coming here.
One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! We ordered quite a few different things including fish tacos, green papaya salad, shrimp ceviche, guacamole, etc & everything was not only explosively delicious but also beautifully made. This would make a wonderful spot for lunch dates (when our family ate there for lunch yesterday). Vibes there are amazing & the service was excellent. 5/5 easily!

I went here VERY skeptical. Mexican food in Canada? In a super touristy area? C'mon. But, the food was great! Very fresh ingredients & vibrant flavors. I had the shrimp ceviche & Sabrosa kale salad with a glass of orange wine. I enjoyed it very much. The atmosphere was cosy yet modern. Service was warm & attentive. This is a lovely spot to stop for a meal while in the main shopping area of Old Montreal.
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 🤗👍
We ordered a salad, El Pastor, calamari, a mojito & beers. I gave 2 stars because on average the waiter & waitresses were polite. The El pastor was very oily that they dripped & I had to ask for extra napkins. The salad was super salty & I complained to my main waiter & he said he never heard that before. I complained to another waitress & she asked me if the service was good & I said sure but the salad is very salty & her response was at least the service was good. I said you know what it's okay & I paid & tipped them 20% & left. The salad was so salty that it was not edible. So they took back the full plate of salad. It seemed the oily El pastor gave me serious indigestion & I didn't sleep well that evening. Please speak with the chef & have him improve the menu because the reception is really good with the young Brazilian friendly girl. Maybe contact Gordon Ramzie before your restaurant becomes a kitchen nightmare. I will not complain about the super small servicing of calamari.

Nous sommes venu manger à ce resto hier & tout était parfait! Tout avait l'air bon sur le menu alors nous avons suivi les conseils de notre serveur Leo & nous avons été ravis par la salade de papaye, les tacos birra & le ceviche de crevettes😋. La nourriture & le service étaient excellents, je reviendrai!
Merveilleux moment au Sabrosa, Tom pour le service était très chaleureux & courtois. Le ceviche de crevettes, la salade de papaye & les tacos de poissons ont satisfait nos papilles gustatives pour un prix très raisonnable. Je recommande sans réserve!
