Stopped in for lunch, and the food absolutely impressed me. Enchiladas are one of my favorite treats, and Sabroso makes excellent Enchiladas. I placed a to‑go order on a Wednesday afternoon, and my food was ready the moment I walked in.Parking, however, is extremely tight. There's a bus stop directly in front of the restaurant, so those spaces are off‑limits. Ashland Ave had no available parking for a couple of blocks, and the nearest side street is permit‑only. I eventually found a spot about a block and a half west on a side street. I imagine parking would be even more difficult during dinner hours. This storefront has about a dozen tables and has bright and charming decor. Despite the parking hassle, the food was absolutely worth the trip.

Tres leches cake
Mona L.

Best Mexican food I've had in a very long time. The carne asada tostada was delicious and we also tried the tampiquena. So good! Had the Jamaica drink and a tres leches cake. The service was so kind and friendly and I truly can't wait to be back again. 10/10! Must do.

Chicken burritos and Steak Fajitas
Jaycen H.

Huge portions at an affordable price, staff was fantastic and welcoming! This is the kind of restaurant you go to and can feel the family run authenticity and want to become a regular. It's BYOB with a cute patio. Even after being stuffed we got the Flan and it was so light and a perfect way to cap off the visit. Definitely recommend!

Chicken fajitas with black beans and flour tortillas
Alyssa G.

The service here when you're dining in is top notch. I had ordered once from them in the past during brunch. I was craving chilaquiles. It didn't hit the spot but I think that was because I had a long drive home so it got cold and soggy. The other day I went to check out my friend's new apartment and was starving so I looked for food in the area. To my surprise, this was right down the street. So I popped in, got seated promptly and asked the waitress what was the best thing on the menu. She said chicken fajitas. So I ordered chicken fajitas. It came out piping hot. Those chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a Mexican coke made my night. The chicken was so flavorful and there was so much food. I had leftovers and was able to experience the flavors again for dinner the next night.

Breakfast Burrito
Stephanie B.

Had an amazing experience here! We were able to call ahead and reserve a table for 10 people. They have free chips and salsa that came with 2 salsas. They refilled the chips and salsa in a timely manner. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. The chicken tostada and the breakfast burrito were both delicious. It was a great value as well. I was able to take my leftovers home for a second meal. They had great service, especially for such a large group. Would love to visit Sabroso again!

Authentic and yummy casual spot for dinner. Big portions which is always the best. The guac and the homemade corn tortillas were delicious. Fajitas were a bit too oily for my preference but still very tasty!

Ignacio S.

Sabroso Mexican Grill totally lives up to its name -- sabroso indeed! The food was fresh, flavorful, and hit all the right notes. The staff went above and beyond -- super friendly and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first time. But the best part? You can bring your own beer! Nothing beats sipping your own favorite brew with some killer tacos and guac. The combo of great service, delicious food, and BYOB vibes makes this place a total win. Definitely adding it to my Chicago go-to list! The server gave us Choco flan for running a marathon. Gracias

Chips & Salsa
Joneice B.

Very enjoyable evening out for dinner after a hard work week. We searched around and tried to find places to try some yummy Mexican food. I am from California and on the search to find really Mexican food it has been a hard find on the north side of Chicago. We had never been here or never even seen it to be honest and we drive on Ashland often but I'm so glad it popped up with positive reviews on yelp. Ultimately, we ended up getting a California burrito and also some tacos. While we waited for our meal to be delivered to the table. We were treated with complementary salsa and chips. I really enjoyed the green salsa as it had some spice to it. For drinks, we got ice cold Jarritos from the fridge and they even offered us ice filled glasses. These drinks are a childhood favorite of mine and they had my number one flavor so definitely had to go ahead and order that to wash down my burro. My California burrito was good but I think the next time I'll just get a Carne Asada burrito or try the Birria Ramen. All at all, this was a really good experience. They had a bustling takeout system going on. I think more food was heading out of the restaurant than being died inside. They also had two patio areas which were dog friendly. One last thing is this place is bring your own bottle so I didn't see a couple people smart enough to bring their own bottle and the next time I go I will be bringing my own bottle to enjoy inside the restaurant to check this place out.

Chips & Salsa
Karen L.

We live down the street and this is our new go-to Mexican spot. Fast, delicious and great service. I really like the salsas, although the hot sauce is not hot enough for me personally. Next time maybe I'll ask if they have anything hotter. Highly recommend anyone in the area stop in and stuff themselves here!

Andre A.

Delicious , authentic Mexican food here. As soon as you walk in , you are greeted with the smell of great food. They were pretty busy, but still accommodating. I had the fish taco and carne asada taco. Both delicious , with large portions. Good times

Counter area
Alyssa B.

This place has great value. I ordered to go and was able to eat a full meal for leftovers the next day. High five for the portion size! Inside was pretty active for a cold night, I could tell people were enjoying their meals. I'd def be back to try more things on the menu. Opted for chicken fajitas this visit.

Stephon H.

Amazing from the beginning to the end. This family owned spot has some amazing food and customer service. The food is fresh and flavorful. Their menu states that these are their family recipes that are passed down; and you can taste the refinement in the flavor. Standard restaurant vibe and seating. They are byob and have margarita mix, juices, and sodas. Definitely would recommend

Cinco de Mayo at Barrio was EVERYTHINGGG…read more We fully committed to the holiday and ordered honestly the entire menu and somehow every single thing that came out was better than the last. Starting with margaritas (because obviously ‍), queso and chips that were dangerously good, and the chicken empanadas that came out perfectly crispy with so much flavor. We kept looking at each other after every bite like "okay wait... THIS is the best thing here" and then another plate would arrive and prove us wrong again The carnitas fried rice??? I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. So savory, flavorful, comforting, and packed with crispy carnitas on top with the eggs and pickled onions... literally unreal. And then the skirt steak tacos absolutely stole the show. The steak was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired so perfectly with all the toppings and sauces. Every single bite tasted fresh and homemade in the best way possible. And can we talk about the ambience for a second because WOW. The music, the energy, the vibe inside, everyone celebrating, the drinks flowing -- it felt like the perfect Cinco de Mayo dinner spot. The service was also AMAZING from start to finish and made the entire experience even better. One of those dinners where you leave already talking about when you're coming back If you're looking for the place to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, date night, tacos & margaritas, or honestly just an incredible dinner in general... this is IT

Appetizers were quac and chips, and shrimp ceviche. The guac was really good, but the ceviche was the star. Served on a bed of cucumbers, it was visually beautiful, and the flavor was fresh and complex. There was also a LOT of it. We ended up taking some home. Entrees were steak and shrimp for me, and Tampiquena for my friend. In both dishes, the steak was done to perfection. The sauce that came with my shrimp was spicy and deep--lots of flavor layers there. Both of us took home portions of our meals because there was a lot of food on the plates. Finally, the service--the servers are attentive without hovering. If we needed something, they were there, but never intrusive. It is hard to believe this is a little neighborhood spot, given the service and the quality of the food. It was not too busy tonight--we ate early--but I recommend reservations. It is very popular with the neighborhood. Bottom line, we each had 2 margaritas, appetizers, and entrees, and our bills with tip were around $105.00 each--totally worth it! Try this little gem--you won't regret it.

Most of the reviews recommended the enchiladas and we ordered a variety of them. The Enchiladas Poblanos stuffed with chicken and cheese. The poblano sauce was rich and smoky. We also had the Enchiladas Morita. They were filled with shrimp and cheese. It was so flavorful and the morita chile added so much flavor. Each dish was served with a side jicama salad. Their special was a shrimp pasta with lobster. It came with full lobster tail. The sauce was creamy and flavorful. It is also BYOB, which is a nice option. Service was excellent, friendly offered recommendations. This is probably one of my favorite Mexican restaurants and highly recommend.

We came later on a Monday night so we did not have to wait to get a seat although it was still pretty busy. The place is decorated nicely. Well on a block with many other Mexican businesses. Located right off the pink line it is very easy to get to and also noted to be near the Mexican art Institute. The chicken mole enchiladas were delicious. Spicy and bitterness of the chocolate balanced super well. rice was also cooked perfectly. The shredded beef dish was short rib and mashed potatoes. They were meant to be assembled into a homemade tortilla - a very interesting concept. The homemade tortillas were so warm and fluffy. I have never had such good tortillas. I took a tamale plate home. It was large and had a good portion of shredded pork. Super flavorful, but also I felt the texture might've been firmer than I would've expected.

It was a hot, humid day, but apparently it was warmer inside than on their sidewalk seating, so we dined outside. My wife ordered the Vegetarian Torta ($13.75) and I chose the Shrimp Torta ($14.50). They were each quite large and filling. My shrimp torta was good, but a little one note. The vegetarian torta was an awesome combination of flavors and I would order it again in a heartbeat. Only real negatives were that they did not offer any draft beer options and the Chips y Salsa ($3.75) had a meager quantity of chips to eat their tasty and generous tomatillo and 3-chile salsa options. Would actually go 4.5 stars based on those 2 factors, but gave the benefit of the extra half star due to how good our service was and the excellent flavor of the veggie sandwich.
