    Bean and Cheese Burrito
    J C.

    Sabroso is an unassuming gem, off the beaten path in the middle of St. Ann, across from northwest plaza. Upon arriving, I was swiftly greeted by friendly staff, who promptly seated me, and took my drink order. I ordered a pineapple aguas frescas, not too sweet and it was quite the treat, with strong pineapple forward flavor. The waitress, who was also the owner's daughter, was very accommodating, pleasantly kind, very patient, and also understanding of my unique requests, she even struck up a conversation about sauces with me, when she saw I brought a personal favorite hot sauce. I also observed her going above and beyond to accommodate the request of a table across from me, where the patrons were struggling to convey exactly what they were looking for in their meal. I ordered birria nachos as a starter, which was genuinely mouthwateringly good, every bite I had was rich in flavor and spice, and had me excited for the next, additionally some delicious verde salsa and red pepper salsa was provided to add some extra character to the plate where desired. I also ordered a bean and cheese burrito, quesabirria, and enchiladas de mole. The burrito had some of the most flavorful and well seasoned black beans I've had. The consome provided with the quesabirria was delicious, and soaked into the quesabirria perfectly, I also ordered a side of the house made mole, which I added to the quesabirria for some extra oomph, letting the quesabirria melt in my mouth, I was overwhelmed with the wonderful seasoning and flavors. The enchiladas de mole came smothered in their house made mole and queso blanco, you get your choice of meat with the enchiladas, I ordered birria with the enchiladas as well, which really paired perfectly with the mole and queso. Overall my experience at Sabroso was wonderfully memorable and I'd recommend anyone looking for a memorable experience and meal visit. The prices are quite affordable as well, especially for the superb quality, I honestly wish I could eat here everyday.

    Chilaquiles con Carnitas

    I have been to Sabroso twice now. First of all this has to be a tough location. It's a strip center across from the part of Northwest Plaza that is now a St. Louis County Government Center. At one time there was an AMC movie theater in this center. The first time I was here I ordered queso and chips followed by the chilaquiles with carnitas and sunny side up egg. I thought this was an excellent meal. The pork and egg were perfectly cooked and I loved the fried tortilla and spicy sauce. I was so excited about how good this meal was. On my second trip I ordered the Tamales with the birria meat. The masa was really good and perfectly steamed. I did not care for the queso panela inside the tamales or the birria beef that was not as tender as it should have been. I didn't really like the queso on top of the tamales either or the queso I ordered for an appetizer. It was not hot and the texture was off. I really like the red salsa or hot sauce they make and bring you upon request. I'm sure I'll be back because I'm still thinking about those chilaquiles.

    Tres Leches Cupcakes, so good!

    The best hidden gem has been found! Santos's Cocina Mexicana (SCM) is another hidden gem anyone who favors simple traditional flavorful dishes. Almost past by SCM as it's in the corner spot of a shopping center. Once we arrived, SCM welcomed us with powerful aromas which made our visit exciting. Menu had traditional dishes from tacos, tortas and classic dishes like carne asada and Mole. Appetizers is what caught our several and we decided on the Birria Nachos. By far best Nachos in the St. Louis vicinity, period. Covered with deliciously tender birria that was perfectly seasoned, nachos also came with blanco queso, pickled jalapeños/cerranos, and a large portion of guacamole. Anyone coming to visit SCM and try this dish is going to be truly impressed. We decided on burritos for this visit (aka, we're coming back!). Wife went with the Chicken burrito, a large burrito with chicken and tinga seasoning, rice, beans covered with pico de gallo. Wife ate every bite and finished her dish before I could. We normally order beans and rice, but based on seeing the portion size of the burritos, we opted for no sides on the visit. I went with the Al Pastor burrito another delicious blend of seasoned pork, pineapple, potato , chorizo, onions and cheese. Best damn burrito I've had in a long time! To close out our visit we tried their tres leches cupcakes, a smaller version of the traditional cake served. Everything we tried was exceptionally delicious! As mentioned earlier SCM has plenty of seating options, but do recommend calling ahead if you're looking to bring a large party. Restaurant was clean and tables were serviced timely. Music was very contemporary Latin playlist and complimented the experience. Here's the deal, Sabroso Cocina Mexicana is legit! We'll see you soon.

    The service was fantastic and quick. The food was delicious, hot and super flavorful. Love this recommendation and will definitely be back!

    Sobroso is killing it on social media so I went to check it out. Street Taco was ok. Salsa was lacking flavor imho. The birria was served at 2000 degrees and that was exciting. Sadly I wasn't really into it. But I think that's because I'm not really a birria kind of guy. Enchiladas were good and overall I like the place. This place has lots of promise. Hope to try again soon and love it.

    been there so many times, service was always good, and friendly. you can see the restaurant is decorated with mementos and sometimes toys, you can tell its a family owned restaurant. food is really amazing!! I always order the vaquero Jalisco

    Good authentic Mexican food. Service was great too. I got the "Al Pastor Huarache" and it was perfectly crispy and savory. Would definitely recommend you try them out.

    I think I remember reading that there is no alcohol, correct? If so, is BYOB allowed? Not to get hammered, just a beer or two.

    Hello, you are correct. There is no alcohol allowed and they said it is due to being right next door to a church. That was the first I ever heard of something like this but thought maybe it's a county thing?

    Do they have margaritas?

    Unfortunately no alcohol is sold.

We arrived about 10 minutes before 5:00 p.m., and the place was already packed--impressive considering the restaurant has a large dining area. Even so, we were seated within a couple of minutes, which was a great start. For how busy it was, the service really stood out. It was quick, attentive, and well-managed throughout our visit. My wife ordered the vegetarian fajitas with a glass of Pinot Grigio, and I went with the chicken fajitas and a Corona. Our food arrived in about 10 minutes, which was surprisingly fast given the crowd. The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful, and both fajita dishes were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Everything came out hot and well-prepared. Overall, I was genuinely impressed. On one of the busiest days of the year for a Mexican restaurant, both the food and service were on point. We'll definitely be back sooner rather than later.

We ordered frozen margarita which were really good but sweet. We ordered from the lunch menu which is smaller portions than the lunch but just enough food.

I would return if in in the area.

If you have specific spices for teas like I do, check out the wall of bag spices AND the selection of plastic containers (in another aisle). I feel bad for writing this because such a large store and the amount of work the employees spend on keeping it organized was impressive. Asking them to reorganize maybe the most "gringo" thing I could do, but I had to ask a customer and her daughter? tried to find the specific spice...they had to ask a worker that took me to the plastic container aisle. BUT- the major thing is that El Morelia offered the spice. Plus others that I wanted try! My other mistake was not visiting during the week and eating at the in store restaurant. On Saturday my bill was almost restaurant prices from a few years ago. During the week prices are more reasonable. The toppings bar completely changes the taste combination and value. Definitely "as-good-as-it-gets"! The employees were restocking bread container with fresh loaves with a sign stating "3 loaves for $2"... I grabbed 3 and just ate one- phenomenal! Not sure if it is sourdough, but it is definitely fresh and delicious! Mexican sodas variety would make Sam's Club jealous. Far more grocery selection than I ever imagined. The store is an old warehouse, but it is clean and well-stocked.

It's gargantuan in size, like an event space. There is a big stage in one corner, a tiki style bar and murals of Mexican scenes on the walls. It is tucked in the back of an old shopping plaza next to a Hindu temple, and takes a little effort to find. Don't mistake the Mexican restaurant right on Natural Bridge at McKelvey for this one. For Marisco you need to get to the back of the plaza. We went on a Monday, and it was quiet, but I understand it's hopping on the weekends. We checked it out based on a good review in St Louis Magazine. Great food and great service. Also, note that there are some kids items - the usual chicken nuggets, cheese quesadilla, etc. Non-seafood items are limited.

The red salsa is more spicy and green salsa is a bit sour and less spicy. I like to combine both to my tacos. Here's the food review (3.5 stars): - Tongue and cheek meat tacos: simple salt & pepper seasoning, but meat is soft and tender. It still have the street tacos flavor but a bit too much broth in the tacos. Add their salsas and a squeeze of lime and they're still good tacos. - Pastor taco: probably the best of the tacos we tried that night.
