Ordered a burger here, and saw they had fries, I'll have to come back and try the fries again. Very nice and quick service.

I have been coming to this restaurant since I was in high school and the food has always been spectacular until yesterday that is. I am wondering if the place has a new cook or is under new management. I ordered three single tacos that are now 2.99 a piece, yes I said a piece. I ordered alambre tacos thinking they would be like they normally are, full of meat and cheese and what I actually received were 4 small street tacos. The meat was burnt and there was hardly any cheese. I feel a bit ripped off by purchasing the tacos. I also ordered my go to meal here which is the Gordita plate. The Gordita’s were good but they tasted different from what they normally taste like. I would probably buy the gorditas again.I was going to try the sabrofries but I’m glad I didn’t since the taco meat was not very good. I would still go here though because maybe it was just a bad night.

We bought tamales from here again, we have for years and they are always good. We love the red pork of course, and we got some of the green with cheese and they were spicy but full of cheese! Love them everytime we buy tamales there!

Stopped by to try a new place for Mexican food. Ordered a combination Plate with 2 enchiladas and a gordita. Red sauce on the enchiladas was so good and the gordita was really tasty!

I asked if the tamales were Rajas and cheese she said yes! They ended up being big huge tamales made with canned vinegar jalapeños with the carrots. They needed salt and flavor/lard. Red tamales had a slight sweat flavor needed salt and manteca (lard). The chille in the red pork tasted weird they also left alot of bay leaves (hojas de laurel) in the meat it needed salt and flavor/manteca. So emberassing because I had family over from out of town and wasted money on 2 dozen tamales and went and got menudo for them somewhere else instead of tamales. I wasn't going to feed my family something I wouldn't eat. What a waste of money and time. Tamales take alot of time to make also. So what a waste of employee time making such bad tamales. Not ever coming back. 3-26-2022 visited.

The tamales were very big and heavy with very little meat. The masa (dough) lacked flavor and was very oily. An unusual amount of melted lard was oozing from the dough (masa). I paid $17.99 for a dozen tamales that were mostly tasteless masa. I will NEVER go to this establishment again.

I was so looking forward to eating some delicious tamales.I am sorry to say, the tamale masa tasted strange, did not have a good taste. I tried one tamale from each bag. The meat in red chile tasted okay, but was dry,...needed more red chile.I am hoping this is taken in a good way, please taste the masa, see if you can make these tamales taste better, again.I'd like to someday go back and taste some good red chile tamales. They used to taste so good.I was just in today after 4 p.m....while I was waiting for the dozen tamales, ...a man went in and asked for a refund for some pre-paid tamales

My first time here. Very clean, friendly service and reasonably priced. Barbacoa and green chili were robust and full of flavor. After my experience today this will definitely be a restaurant I will be frequenting often. Also they asked if I was military or law enforcement, when I said I was retired military they gave me a 10% discount. Thanks for an exceptional experience Sabroso.

Small portions, tasted like leftovers from days ago , over charged and i still tipped for food that didn’t taste good at all , had more tortilla that meat , rice was cold , had a friend get sick from this place but i still continued to go and eat here thinking it wasn’t the food that got him sick , but today i woke up throwing up and sick to my gut Don’t eat here !!!!! no matter how convenient it is.

Food was a little less than average. We ordered sirloin tacos and caldo de rez. The caldo de rez should be renamed caldo de vegetables aka vegetable soup as there was only a small piece of meat and large amounts of vegetables. The rice was undercooked and the sirloin tacos were average. The service was great, so the rating is not a reflection on the service rather the food.
