I've not been here in ages. A friend suggested or rather negotiated that we eat here for lunch as it was equally convenient. We were first in at 11:30 ish and seated at a large booth. "Man is it dark in here." I had to wipe crumbs off of my booth seat. It was frigid. Not starting well. But chips and salsa and water were quickly delivered. It took a slight bit before our order was taken, at least enough for me to eat my full, individual, mild salsa dish and request the hot salsa. Chips were also quickly refilled when they got lower. I had the lunch chicken taquitos with lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, salsa verde and three taquitos. They were crisp, the chicken was tender and flavorful. My friend had a small taco salad, which he ate in its entirety. The lunch crowd rolled in and it was a decent crowd, indicating popularity and what seemed like regulars. That's always a good sign. Even better, the bill arrived and together it was $22 and some change. With tip, still well under $30 and that's pretty good value. It's not a stand-out, must visit, Mexican restaurant, but it's good. I wouldn't make a special destination trip here, but in the general area, this is a solid choice. read more

This is where we come for consistently good Mexican food. We get a double order of fajitas with corn tortillas because I adore corn tortillas with rice and beans.. Service is always good and the restaurant is not overly loud. read more

I was here on a business trip recently, and was craving Mexican food, checked on yelp and found this restaurant! So glad I stopped and ate here, this is probably one of the best chicken taco salads I've ever had! Great flavor and lots of chicken. The service was friendly and you can tell it was a family owned business. muchas gracias toda la comida era sabrosa! read more

Food was good and so was the service. We were seated in a very comfortable area. Had a great view of the entire place. However, the meal was ruined by an employee/owner, who carried on a conversation with the table adjacent to us during the entire meal. Very aggravating. Not to mention that It was very difficult getting in and out of the entrance and exit of the establishment. read more

Sabroso Mexican Grille - Mexican Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

I love them :) very friendly and attentive, the food is amazing and the area during lunchtime is great. It brings a calming sense of ambience when enjoying your food with a loved one. read more

Been coming here for years with friends. Waiter remembers our usual order and chips are on the table in a flash. Ask for hot salsa. It's fresh, spicy, and flavorful. Most visits I get the street tacos. Chicken and fresh ingredients, corn tortillas, and not loaded with cheese so it's actually more healthy Mexican! Side of delicious black beans to go with. Their guac is good as well. They do allow smoking but if you sit further from the bar area it's not bad and I'm very smoke averse. Our friend group ventured to a few other Mexican places, but we gave that up and stick to Sabroso now. Try it! read more

The fact that this is sub 4 makes me question everyone opinion on Mexican food on this site lol. The food at Sobroso is by far one of the best in Greenville and the staff could not be friendlier. The Rio Ribeye steak is massive and better than 2/3 of the so called steakhouse in this town. If you haven't tried it, go. Att a couple shrimp with the chipotle butter! read more

Love the family owned business and they have the best Mexican food in town and the service is great also very clean inside

The Ribeye steak was amazing. Served with onions, peppers and your choice of sides. Another home run for Sabroso! Service was excellent again too! read more

Usually I always order a mesquite grilled chicken quesadilla, but this time I decided I was more in the mood for tacos and they did not disappoint. This restaurant has been a favorite of mine and my family's for years, and they never disappoint. Every item I've tried on her menu is just wonderful, and all of the staff is so friendly and attentive. If you're looking for great Mexican food, I highly suggest checking out Sabroso. read more

Sabroso Mexican Grille - Beef tacos with rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Pancho Nachos - Vegetarian style are delicious. I always ask for chicken on the side which they happily oblige. I also order black beans rather than the refried beans. Their black beans are hands down the best in SC! They are made fresh daily. Service is always on point. We are seated quickly, and chips and salsa are brought out in a speedy fashion. Their fresh salsas are packed with spice and flavor, unlike a lot of other Mexican restaurants that bring out tomato sauce with no spice. Ambiance is good but the smoke is sometimes stinky so be aware. Despite ppl smoking in the bar, I'm highly recommending because food and service is outstanding. Service is always excellent even on busy nights. Food is freshly prepared and served in a timely, reasonable manner. As a vegetarian, I also love their cheese enchiladas topped with a fried egg. Hands down the best cheese enchiladas I've ever tasted. All of their dishes are packed with flavor and portions are large enough for a second meal, lunch or snack. I've tried many Mexican restaurants across the Upstate, most are mediocre. Most of the time we are disappointed with the quality and the taste of the food at other Upstate Mexican restaurants but NOT at our favorite Sabroso! We find ourselves always returning to Sabroso. I highly recommend! Give them a try, you will not be disappointed. read more

And Sabroso is a family owned restaurant that has been in Greenville for quite a long time and is definitely one of the best Mexican options that is in the area. The food is authentic and very tasty and the service and ambience of the place is very nice. Definitely recommend this place for a sit down dinner or takeout. read more

Wonderful food service and cocktails!! Ambiance is dark and homey. The queso fundito is by far my favorite dish!! read more

My husband and I eat here quite often. The staff is always attentive, friendly and welcoming. Rodrego is our favorite waiter,......he is the best!!! read more

First time being here and it started off good. After being seated our server brought us chips and three small bowls of salsa almost immediately. The chips were warm and the salsa was really good and mild in spice. We requested they bring a spicier one and he did fairly quickly. It definitely had a kick to it but was t uncomfortably spicy which we really liked. I ordered the Fajita Burro T (12.99) and my girl ordered the Tequila Chipotle Fish (14.99). My burrito came with refried beans and a bed of lettuce, tomato, sour cream and guacamole. The burrito was huge and I could only finish 3/4 of it and I'm usually a heavy eater but I think I filled myself up with chips and dip. No regrets. The fish was probably our favorite. It was cooked and seasoned well and the meat was juicy and not dry. We had a good time and a meal for sure filled us up. read more

The positive is the margarita was very good. $1.50 up charge for a single veggie enchilada and smoking throughout the bar area. Yes, they openly allow smoking. And yes it does smell throughout the restaurant. Our server was good, except she could have let me know about the up charge. Will not be back. read more

Amazing food and service, always a great experience. The staff is wonderful And very gracious.

I will never eat here again. even tho the food was good the cigerette smoke filled the room. Why are people smoking in your restaurant? You have children and elderly customers. read more

Always satisfied with my food here. My wife and I usually ask for Rodrigo. He is always a good waiter, professional, friendly, and funny! If you haven't met him or had the food here, you are missing out! read more

We got the chicken chimichanga and 1/2 order of the chicken fajitas to go. Both were amazing. I highly recommend this place if you are wanting good Mexican food. read more

Great food and excellent service!! Love coming here when we visit our family in Greenville. One of our family favorites!

I've been here twice in the past month to try a couple different items. The service both times was courteous and efficient. The first time I ordered chicken fajita it was the best I've had since moving to Greenville. The pieces of chicken were big, seasoned well and not overcooked, the portion was very large and included fajita vegetables. My second visit I decided to try an authentic dish, a Tamale combo with enchilada. I was disappointed in the tamale. It was dry and mainly the corn based dough not much meat. Typically tamales are served inside the corn husk, thin corn dough and filled inside with seasoned meat. This one was not like the traditional at all and it was drenched in the same sauce as the enchilada. Tamales prepared well don't need any sauce on them. Bottom line, this restaurant is a good solid choice for American version of Mexican but not authentic Mexican. read more

I've been coming here for years, the servers are always hospitable and helpful. Their appetizers are huge and enough to share or order as a main entree. We came for lunch at 1 to avoid the lunch crowd which they are typically known for. They have a great celebration every year for Cinco de Mayo in the parking lot.....they usually put up a big tent and party. read more

Food is decent but they allow people to smoke, which ruined our entire meal. Absolutely disgusting to smell cigarettes while trying to enjoy food. So disappointing. The server told us the air is filtered, not sure how true that is but it stinks throughout the entire restaurant. Gross. read more

Excellent food and excellent service. Plenty of parking spaces and the staff is always friendly. Their salsa is delicious. I also asked for hot salsa and it was so yummy! You get large portions of food whether it's lunch size or dinner size. The restaurant is clean and organized. I love this place! read more

Delicious food, fantastic service, and the best margarita - made with fresh lime. Chips are fresh, salsa tasty, guacamole good too. As regulars they always know our drink order and have it to us as soon as we sit down. They always remember our favorite dish and ask us if that is what we want. Constantly attentive to our needs and requests. Recently renovated interior looks amazing. Only negative (as others have stated too) is the smoking that is allowed at the bar. read more

I had the opportunity to dine at Sabroso's this past weekend, this was a first visit. I originally ordered the grilled chicken quesadillas, but saw the pollo fundido and decided to change my order and get that instead of the quesadillas. It came with two sides and my sides were Mexican rice and refried beans. The chicken was tender, there was A LOT of onions on it that would have been good if they had been grilled until tender. I've had pollo fundido at Monterey's and it was chopped chicken with spices cooked inside a tortilla with a lot of cheese. That's what I thought I was getting, my mistake. I will try Sabroso's again, but on my next visit I'll get the grilled chicken quesadillas! read more

Tucked in a strip mall on Woodruff Rd is where this gem is located. My husband and I were looking for something either Oriental or Mexican for our first anniversary dinner. So we chose this restaurant, it doesn't look like much on the outside but the inside is nice, it's decorated with colorful banners hanging from the ceiling. There is a separate bar you can sit at on the right when you approach the hostess. The seating was casual and comfortable and very clean. Our waitress was this sweet woman that was on top of her game with refills such as our chips and salsa along with our drinks. The menu has everything with so many options, we ordered the Queso Cheese dip for a starter (it was delicious). My order was the combo with chili relleno, tamale, and enchilada with beans and rice. My husband ordered the combo with a taco, enchilada, burrito and a side tamale. I'm going to start off with the chili relleno because this will either make it or break it if I will ever eat at the place again...They passed that inspection with flying colors! It had the perfect crisp from the batter, the chili was charred perfectly and was packed with beef and melty cheese! Mmmmmm! The sauce and seasonings on everything was unique and I couldn't stop myself from eating it all even though I was beyond filled! Everything was perfectly made, it all had amazing flavor and you can tell it was all fresh! Even the complimentary salsa and chips were right on! The price was just right for all the food you get. I will be back for sure! read more

We've now given this place two chances, no more. First off, the food is bland. The cheese dip came out room temperature at best. To say there is a lack of seasoning would be an understatement. Second, if you are a non smoker beware, smoking is allowed in the bar area and the smoke/smell does not stay in the bar. We have had much better Mexican at other restaurants in the area. That being said the service was mediocre at best, seeing as we were walked by several times with barely a glance, hence one star. read more

Best Mexican food in town. The black beans are always great, and can usually be substituted for refried. Also, the margaritas are made with fresh lime juice, and are amazing! read more

Everyone has bad days, but this was bad. Service was good. Very nice waitress. I ordered the Sabroso chicken taco salad. Absolutely no flavor, bland doesn't begin to describe it. There wasn't enough salsa or hot sauce in the country to add flavor. This chicken should have had flavor if it was slow cooked. The taco shell was stale and old. I won't be back, and that's a shame because I like to support small business owners. read more

This place is fantastic! The parking is great. The service as quick and friendly. The food tasted amazing as well. I ordered the taco salad with chicken and it was much more than I could finish in one setting. And the chicken taco salad tasted epic as well. Let's not forget the chips and salsa delivered when we were seated; the salsa was epic. Before my visit, I didn't know this place existed but now that I know where it's at, I plan to visit again in the near future!! read more

Not For Me, Ever Again. Have been to this establishment twice in as many years. Both times, it has been more than forgettable and it will never get a third chance. We came at the end of the lunch period so Sabroso should have been on top of their game. What a mistake on my part to think that. Recapping the highpoints, let me ask: - If your server never greets you, never checks back with you (for anything), takes plate ware from your table without asking if you are still eating from it, doesn't apologize for doing so after you point it out, slaps your check on the table without asking if there is anything else, doesn't thank you for coming nor invite you back -- would you characterize this as rude, sullen, miserable and ungrateful? -- I think you would --. - If your Pork Carnitas came to the table with runny refried beans and limp, cold, oil-covered pork sitting on limp cold, greasy grilled onions ... would this miserable, pathetic presentation of a $13 dish qualify as sub-cafeteria quality fare? -- It certainly would --. If worthless food and lousy service from an owner/manager are for you, by all means, pack up the babies and presidential 'missus' and head on over there. You'll be in the right spot. read more

We love Sabroso's! We've been eating there since their doors opened. Always consistently great food and the servers are top notch!!

Would not normally rate one star but I was accused of something I didn't do at all. Respectfully told the waiter that it wasn't me still didn't even listen to me. I haven't been to this restaurant in a month and a half until today. The waiter was very inappropriate and rude. Would not recommend again or eat there again. Have been a customer for almost three years now but now no longer. Very disappointed. read more

They have burgers, cheese fries, and other passable americano food. They used to make guacamole at the table. Now it browns a bit back in the kitchen. Used to be authentico. Now it's a sports bar with Mexican movie posters. read more

After expending some energy at a local park for Labor Day, the family was in the mood for Mexican. We went to our usual Gant but they were closed. CLOSED! I couldn't believe it. We had to pick another spot so we tried a new one; Sabroso. Too bad for El Jalisco because we probably won't be going back to El Jal after discovering this place. The food was so fresh and delicious and very affordable for the lunch menu. The burrito and taco and beans were all awesome and the salsa was outstanding. I now have to change my El Jalisco review to denote this is the best in Five Forks! read more

My wife and I went there yesterday for an early dinner and really liked it quite a bit. The chips and salsa were there minutes after we sat down and the salsa was fresh and quite good. We started with the queso fundido which is a normally a blend of soft cheese and chorizo sausage, but this was more of a skillet appetizer. It was quite good, but not really the dip from the dip section we had in mind. My wife got the tequila lime chicken which was a great sized portion with tons of phenomenal flavor. We both tried it and came away quite impressed. I had the Tacos Al Carbon which the server offered to do one of each (Pork, Steak & Chicken) without me having to ask. What a delight as they were delicious. Service was great. He answered questions, made honest recommendations and always was there when we needed them. Very much looking forward to going back. read more

Dannnng Sabroso. You be so sexy with your Mexican food. I mean, I don't usually swing that way. If I do, then I'm just dropping in for some fast taco action, some free chips and salsa on the side, you know what I'm sayin'. But, girl, you special. You made some tamales, Sabroso, and them things were DOPE. I was all like, "This masa is the bizniss!" You got like five different hot sauces to put on that. The beans and rice wasn't messin' around either. Flavor, and just enough fat to make it PHAT. My wife -- yeah, she was there, she's into this stuff too -- she had one of those mains, and we don't normally mainline it. We're all about the back page of the menu if you hear what I'm sayin'. Was it $12 worth of food? No. More like $20. Hit that. Sabroso, Mexican grilles in this town be all in my, um, grill. Everywhere I look, there's another one. But they all dumb, all tasting the same with their roja sauce all like ketchup, their verde being all like warm lime jello. You run a fresh shop, Sabroso. Ima see you around! read more

Great food and friendly service! I had a wonderful margarita and cheese dip then a combo with a cheese enchilada and taco. Service was great and food was very good! read more
