I can't comment on the food as I have been twice and each time what I ordered they have not had. Each time stating they did not have the brisket ready to make the dish, yet it is on the breakfast menu and I am showing up at 930. So not like I hit them up at 7am. I love the other location, but now understand the bad reviews they have received at this location. read more

Disgusting. The food was Disgusting. It was mid-afternoon and they weren't busy. Ordered beef enchiladas w red sauce. The meat didn't taste like beef. We only ate 2 bites and couldn't eat any more. Red sauce cam from a can. WILL NEVER BE BACK. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY read more

I had the Chiles Poblanos, which is two poblano peppers filled with cheese and covered with cheese, and rice & beans. Unlike most poblano dinners I've had, this came with sour cream and guacamole, both of which I enjoy. My wife had the kids taco plate, which was just right for her and tasted great. My dinner was hot with a lot of flavor. I need to start cutting the rice & beans from these plates because I never eat them. This is a lot of food, and I finished the leftovers the next day. The salsa here is also very good, and the chips are light and crispy. The atmosphere was pleasant but our server seemed distracted and it took a while to get refills. Apparently she knew the people seated behind us and had a lengthy conversation about a medical procedure. Not pleasant. read more

My husband and I enjoy Sabroso's. The food is good, they are very affordable and they have great specials. One night when my son was with us they gave us free dessert which was red velvet cupcakes with a sour cream icing. They were delicious. We don't drink but for those who do they have a cozy bar. read more

This is only an update because I got our waitresses name wrong. The woman who was very rude and had the worst attitude was named Esme not Teresa. I guess when she rang up our ticket she used Teresa's log in. Teresa has since been so sweet and I feel awful that Esme rang it up under her name so that she got the awful review. I do not retract my review but it was not about Teresa it was about Esme!! read more

First the chips were super greasy and thin, second the tortillas were very plain and had no flavor, third the watris just walked out. I'm not one to complain but this was a terrible experience. read more

Came in for lunch at the new location off the loop and Quaker. Service was good, but the food was really nothing spectacular. They do, however, have good chips and three different types of salsa, so perhaps it's worth a trip for that and some drinks. The habanero salsa offers a slow heat, and the regular salsa tasted good. They also have a green salsa we didn't try. Queso wasn't worth the cost. Relleno was good, although not crunchy like some places. Charro beans weren't great. read more

This used to be a great restaurant but not anymore. when the owner was there it was good but hardly ever see her anymore. We usually eat there twice a week but after tonight never more. Waitress was lazy and spent way too much time in the back, when she occasionally came out we had to call her over to the table for more chips or napkins or to correct things that was wrong with our order. The waitress was rude and her manager was much worse. We have been told they were closed and turned away 30 min or more before their closing time and have seen them do this to at least 4 other couples. There is an abundance of Mexican food places in Lubbock. We for one will never go back to this one. read more

The over all environment is really nice inside. I went last week with some friends and we didn't like our food but I figured I'd give it another try, they have so many options. The second time around was worse. I ordered a fried burrito that is suppose to have a sour cream sauce and when I got my plate it looked like really thick gravy. I still gave it a try and it tasted horrible. I scraped it all off and still tried to eat it, I ended up just having two more bites and asking for my check. Unfortunately I won't go back again. read more

Sabroso and The Alibi Bar 2 - Fried Chimichangas/ fried burrito - Mexican Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I wish more folks would give this a chance. This fits the hole that Casa Ole & El Chico left behind. Inexpensive Mexican food. It's not going to win any awards, but this is what you get when you want good for not a killer price. read more

I must agree with the reviewers who have slammed the service. If you trawled through Lubbock's sewage system what you'd come up with is the staff at the newer Sabroso. Unbelievable and difficult to explain because the people at the original Sabroso are top-notch. At any rate, the food here is above average but because the workers are such a scummy bunch, I'll never go there again. Incidentally, a friend of mine, who is tolerant to a fault, holds the same opinion of this place as I do. read more

Okay first off this is a brand new Mexican restaurant in Lubbock been open not quite a week yet so take that into consideration as they are still learning. The food is pretty good. The enchilada sauce is just a tad on the salty side in my opinion. Our service was good but the wait on the food was a lot longer than it should have been. I'm sure that will get better because the whole staff seems to be really trying. Sorry no menu photos right now I'll get them next time. The restaurant is open at 7:00 a.m. till 10:00 p.m. and the bar stays open till midnight 7 days a week. They have a nice selection of standard Mexican food plus Mexican seafood, and even chicken fried steak. We had a long wait for our food so unfortunately you get to see some extra Verde sauce in the pics we couldn't wait to start. read more

was cussed out by jessica riojas who claims to be the owner of the location on 82nd & loop 289. the food took 30 minutes to come out after ordering buffet, we had to leave, (only 1 request on buffet) i asked for a box, and she proceeded to yell at me, the whole place got quiet, this woman has no business in a public place with that behavior! never going back, not to mention, the place is filthy! i found her on mugshots, that explains a whole lot! read more

I love a good taco, I love a cheap taco. These tacos were definitely decent for the price. Worth it in my opinion. This is where the problem comes in. A slew of disorganized moody servers who don't care to take your order once you've been seated. We all have crap days I understand, I understand things can get busy. But why is this place pull of servers who look like they all had someone piss in their cheerios first thing in the morning? Along with this, the icky atmosphere needs work. My chair? Sticky. The table I was seated at? Had some sort of weird residue on it. I'm not a negative or pessimistic person, the food was quite nice, unfortunately that is the only good thing I have to say about my time in the restaurant. read more

We came here with high hopes. The ambiance was inviting with nice booths, tables and decor. The Appetizer of cheesy French fries with chicken and beef was very good. It was served with onion, sour cream and guacamole. We had chips and salsa that was spicy and had a lot of cilantro. I ordered the three cheese enchilada dinner with extra cheese and onion inside. Neither was added to the enchiladas. The red sauce was rather thick and not overly spicy. I had the rice and papas which was mashed potatoes with cheese on top. The potatoes were very thin almost soupy. The Mexican rice was somewhat dry with peas and carrots. Overall it was disappointing. I will try again but not too soon! read more

Four of us had lunch at 1:00 pm 7-17. There were only 4 small tables with people at the time. We ordered, waiter was very nice. Our order took over 30 minutes. We ran out of chips (kids were starving) and couldn't find our waiter. Finally found him and asked about our food. He said it was ready and coming soon. We continued to wait, by that time everyone had ran out of drinks. Finally got our food and it was good but it took so long. I don't know if we will go back unless their service gets better. An hour for lunch is too much. On the good side, the food was very good read more

Don't come to the 34th street location, go to the S Loop and Quaker. Have been waiting 45 minutes for tacos on Taco Tuesday. Just been told they are starting on our order?!? Never had this issue at the other location. Don't waste your time here. read more

I ordered for delivery through a service. I would give the food a 4.5, but we had to wait almost an hour for the food. The driver told us that the restaurant wasn't busy, but the kitchen was disorganized and unable to handle the to-go orders. read more

Second time me and the wife tried this restaurant. The first time we went the wife had a chile rellenó, and I had chicken enchiladas. The wife liked the rellenó but I was disappointed with the enchiladas and what is up with the refried beans, they look and taste old and not refried but reheated. Left most of my food on the plate. The wife wanted to give them another chance so we tried in the evening, I had tacos and the wife had flautas we were both disappointed. The waiting staff is very nice and attentive but the food has much to be desired. The ambiance is typical and since I don't drink alcohol I will not speak about the bar. Sorry but we will not be returning, read more

I love your restaurant! The food is good and taco Tuesday is a plus. I hate that your taco Tuesday special is dine in only! You're missing the mark on this one. I stood in your entrance for a few minutes being ignored on 9/3/2024 at 9:01pm. My wife had surgery and wasn't able to enjoy your lovely establishment. I went in to place an order and yes I've seen your fine only sign more times than I can count. I get that your special is for dine in only and that with dine in only there is a possibility to drive up the average check. Perfect! I was willing to pay full price for my meal. Normally I'd just leave and take my money elsewhere and after tonight no worries! After the cold uninviting welcome I received I won't be back! I wasn't trying to order 1200 tacos. I was just trying to order six tacos and a side of rice to take home to my wife. But the young lady at the register the moment open my mouth said sir you realize those are for dine in only. The way I was ignored while I stood there, waiting for someone to acknowledge me made me feel very awkward and then to humiliate me by stating loudly those are for dine in only was pretty bad. There are other places in town that I can spend my money at to get tacos that are just as good if not better than yours. I'm not asking you to change your policy. I'm simply asking you to be a little more courteous when people are trying to order. So tonight you got me for $10.79 no tip because I don't tip shitty service. I would've ordered more food and had a couple of drinks while I was waiting on it. read more

Decided to dine at this restaurant with the family. The food overall was terrible at best. No one at the table liked any of the food. Talked to the manager and he stated he would adjust the ticket accordingly. When the server was advised of what the manager had said she stated she didn't know what he had said. The server had stood their the entire time I was talking to the manager. I asked her to call the manager once again. The server came back and said she would take the price of one entree of the ticket. I also asked her what about a child's burger that was brought to the table with the meat patty raw. She stated we should have told her how we wanted it cooked. The server stated it, they had not been open long. If the food and service at this restaurant continues being the same this restaurant will not be open long. read more

The reviews are horrible and I wouldn't try this in a heartbeat. I don't know why they want me to write more because there's not much to write about. read more

Food was very blah. Not to mention they charged us $5 for chips & salsa! We have tried it twice and we're very disappointed!

We ordered on door dash. The menu said burrito with red sauce and rice and beans. The taco said the same thing. We got a taco that had two bites of meat. Burrito was just the burrito. No sauce or rice and beans. Queso had no flavor. When I called the lady answered and argued with me that that's what I ordered. I am including the picture from door dash! Never again will I order from there. read more

our server was great. food was good. I had the red chicken enchiladas with rice and papas. it's usually hit or miss with rice but the rice here was really good and authentic. chicken was tender and not all the extra stuff that most restaurants try to fill it with. read more

Reading these reviews you would think this place is horrible... I've eaten here probably 15 times in the last month and a half as it's very close to where I work. I've never been charged for chips and salsa or extra salsa, I've never had disgusting food everything has been exceptionally good for the price... Given that this is a tex mex restaurant. All of the servers and bartenders I have had have been nice and attentive... The restaurant is always been clean unlike some other well-reviewed texmex places in town. And whether it's drinks or food it's going to be very hard to find anything better for your money here in Lubbock. read more

Service is terrible. I've been 3 times and the service gets worse every time. Don't think I will ever be back.

Breakfast was amazing. Ample servings, friendly waitress Noemi was very efficient. Food was served quickly and was nice and hot. Coffee and tea were also great. read more

Vanessa is the best bartender ever but every time we go there is either no Ultra on tap or vodka in stock or no Tajin for our shots. Very disappointing to go to our favorite bar but never have what we always drink! read more

Today at Sabrisos I ordered a dozen cheese enchiladas and a dozen beef enchiladas. Totally my fault for not price checking first, but for a dozen cheese enchiladas it was $38.99 and for the dozen beef it was $70.00. I didn't realize they charge for adding beef so my bill for 2 dozen enchiladas with a side of rice and beans was a total of $146.90. FYI JOESIES charges $24.99 per dozen for beef, chicken or cheese. read more

Friendly service and great food. The atmosphere is is casual and family oriented. Thank you Rylee!

We ate here for the first time yesterday for a Sunday lunch. We were part of a group of five. The service was good... in taking our drink orders, keeping chips on the table, and checking in on us for drinks throughout the meal. The food, however, took way longer than it should have for the number of people in the restaurant (almost empty). When the food arrived, it was cold, and actually not very good. We will probably never visit this restaurant again. This review is only for the restaurant, as we do not drink alcohol, and did not have any bar service. read more

just nowNEW DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE ON DOORDASH. Let me first say, their food is good, and my husband and I really like it. It's also available through DoorDash, which we have liked during the pandemic. This is why we foolishly keep ordering from them. Except in the 10+ times we've gotten their food over the last year or more, we've gotten everything that we've ordered maybe once. Tonight every single item we ordered was missing something. It has to be the restaurant's fault, because we've had many different delivery people and the same issue each time. I guess we're the fools to continue getting food from them, but that ends tonight. read more

Great tacos! Took a long time to get our food. I'll come back. Salsa also yummy. Rice was also good

Food is really good texmex. Service needs a lot of support. Don't go in the afternoon if you are expecting prompt service and your food hot but other than that it's great read more

Worst customer service ever! Server forgot to give us napkins and silverware, gave our cueso dip to someone else. Left for the day and left us hanging. It literally took 30-45 minutes for another server to wait on us. Servers ignored us when we asked for help. Finally got someone just for them to turn around and assign someone else. Ordered the caldo but they ran out. One horrible issue after another. I will never go back! read more

They have a drive-through window. Nobody ever comes to the window. It tells you to call or honk. You call and the phone just rings. You honk and nobody shows up to the window. Real trashy place!!! read more

Went for lunch and it was us two and two other customers. Wait staff were nice and quick to attend to us. Food overall is just bad for Tex-Mex. We ordered fish tacos and enchiladas, just very unimpressed. We tried this place because a friend had recommended it for breakfast, so assumed it would be good overall. Maybe if you go for just breakfast it's decent. read more

I've heard great things about their sister location and decided to give this one a chance. However, we had to wait over 30min for our food and it still arrived cold. There was a total of 4 tables with customers in the restaurant and we were constantly waiting for our server. Once we finally got our check an employee who was clocking in had to check us out since we still could not find our server. read more
