    I ordered takeout from here. Everything was done quick. The food arrived hot still. I ordered the ham fried rice, the Mofongo with chicken, and the sesame chicken with house fried rice. The sesame chicken was OK, I think it was made with white meat and I am not a fan, but it was still good. The house fried rice was also good but I could've done without the shrimp. The ham fried rice was absolutely delicious and it was my favorite. It was so flavorful. My least favorite was the Mofongo with the chicken. The chicken had some kind of curry taste and it was not what I expected from a Mofongo. I had one bite and I didn't have anymore. Still very good, but I will not order the Mofongo again

    Asopao de Pollo

    I've had my fair share of greasy Spanish food, so when my mother-in-law recommended Sabrosura I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the food was without being greasy. Just on the corner a few streets away from the 6 train lies a Cuban-Chinese establishment that's been open for years. Ambiance is casual and relaxed and service is friendly; orders were communicated in Spanish. Our table shared the Tostones with Guacamole which was light and flavorful. Perfect for our group of four. For entrees, we got the Asopao de Pollo, Broiled Shrimps and Bistec Palomilla Platter, Pechuga de Pollo Encebollado, and Mofongo con Carne de Credo Frita. The Asopao de Pollo was a deliciously hearty soup with tender pieces of white meat chicken and served in a large portion. The chicken, steak and mofongo platters were equally large and featured hefty amounts of well seasoned protein with side salads and tostones. Everybody at the table enjoyed their food and all the meat was tender and juicy (even the leaner cuts!). My partner and I shared the guava tres leches which was a nice end to the meal. Whoever is here complaining that the food is on the pricier side must have never had a 12oz steak in Manhattan for 50 dollars. If there are restaurants that still serve hefty and delicious meat platters for less than 30 dollars, let me know. Otherwise, I'll be back at Sabrosura.

    I love this place. The waiter is so amazing. The food is absolutely delicious. We used to come here a lot with my mom. She loved this place. My brother and I still come here to enjoy their food. They are friendly and wonderful. Thank you so much.

    This is a Cuban Chinese restaurant that have been at this location very long time in the Bronx at Castle Hill Ave. Haven't been to this restaurant for many years, my wife decided to come here for dinner with my grandkids. We ordered Yuca Cangrejito it is a Yuca cup with crab meat, Mofongo with Steak, Mofongo with fried Pork chunks, Fried Fish with Seafood fried rice, and Shrimp mofongo bowl. All dishes was seasoned well, just the mofongo plantains was just a little on the dry side.

    It's been about 6 years since I have eaten here. Due to an experience. I decided to give them another chance. My family and I do not eat pork at all. Actually Will get sick if consumed. Being that we don't eat it, we can tell when it has been prepared with pork. None of the items we ordered should have the smell that this food has. To the point where my hands smell like I was massaging a pork roast. Chicken and broccoli with shrimp fried rice, steak with onions and tostones, egg fried rice and chicken wings. The chicken wings don't match the photo on the website. They are completely different and burnt. We were unable to eat this food and I don't suggest anyone who doesn't eat pork to eat here. Very very disturbing.

    Sad to say but I've been disappointed a few times after my first delivery from them. My Palomilla steak was dry and over cooked and my tostones were soft and not throughly fried.

    Popped into Sabrosura on a Sunday evening and it was busy. It's a very popular chino latino restaurant in the BX. The host said it would be a 30 minute wait but we were seated in 15 mins. It being the first time I went to Sabrosura I had no idea we had to go up to the host station tell them the number of people n then they would give us a number. It was a bit confusing because people crowd the area so I thought there was a line. It was filled with families and we had 5 kids with us and they were welcomed and everyone was friendly. I love the shrimp Lo mein the flavor was there! My daughter loved the chicharon de pollo n churrasco I was a fan of the fried rice but the fried yuca was delish. It was a little pricey but they give a huge amount of food so I guess it balances out. Overrall a decent spot to eat at.

    Chicken Gumbo Soup

    I love chino-Latin inspired cuisine and been to a few restaurants that did Not disappoint. So after passing by sabrosura I had to stop by. Service and ambience were good but the food was lacking flavor and prices are a bit on the high side. My review is based off of two basic dishes that we ordered. I usually read reviews prior to going out to eat but this time I only got to read them after sitting down and ordering a beer. I decided to stick on the safe side and order something basic. I got the asopao de pollo which wasn't my favorite at all. It tasted like hella tomato sauce and I def felt like it was lacking something. My daughter decided to stick with the cheeseburger and fries and she hated it. I also took a bite of her burger and it was so dry and flavorless. The fries were also super mediocre. I won't be coming back.

    I've been coming to this establishment for 20 plus years. Food is always delicious. Small establishment but always busy and food always fresh and delicious. Decor is simple yet cozy. Owners always have a smile when greeting at the door. It's really a family business catering to the community.

    Chicken gumbo soup. Ehh. Still won't recommend this place. Caridad is way better!
    Yara S.

    I came here for first time on Easter to order take out. I figure quicker to order and have a test taste to see if it's good food. Also a friend of mine recommended a few years ago. I was in the area and ordered the chicken mofongo and chicken gumbo soup for my dad cause he was in the hospital. NEVER AGAIN!! The mofongo looked like throw up soup is how I describe it. And it's boggling to me is that on Easter 2023 it was full house and people were ordering food. The soup was ok but after seeing my mofongo I was grossed out. I threw away most of the soup. I paid $30 something for this order! I was so disappointed. First of all, if they can't make Spanish food well then they shouldn't have it on their menu. Maybe the Chinese food there is good but I wouldn't waste my money to go again. This is not real Spanish food and I'm Latina!

I go all out when I come here becuase it's fast seafood at it's best, steamed, raw or fried. You order at the counter for things you want, so plan your order with friends so you can get what you want all at once. Send one to get the fried's, one to get the steamed, raw, etc. It looks like any seasonal shack on the eastern seaboard, but just a tad busier and a tad nicer. Service is good becuase it's far enough away from the NYC grind that people aint tryna bring that vibe. They're trying to have a different experience. It's got great views. Cash only of course. Seating is cafeteria style. I usually have to go for a walk afterwards to help digest everything. Prices are high if you indulge or come with your whole family, but it's kinda in line if your tryna splurge and go big. My usual order is steamed snow crab legs, fried calamari, fried clam strips, steamed cherry's and little necks (or raw if it's daytime or late summer) and a steamed whole snapper if I'm with more than 1 person. It's a feast, but worth a gout attack. It's fresh seafood that's well prepared and simple. You can't go wrong on the cocktail sauces, butter, lemon on most items.

Friends took me here for my birthday and we had reservations at another place, but they "lost" them? All of us have been here before so we decided why not, and see what happens. The place was incredibly busy, we had about a 20 minute wait but it was worth it! Our server Robert was top notch. Professional and cordial. He Immediately came over with glasses of water, garlic bread, cheese and olive tapas, a house salad, and napkins. Tried the broiled fisherman's combo: shrimp, scallops, fish fillet, mussels, stuffed clams, lobster tail, and a side, I opted for linguini with garlic aioli. Everything was cooked very well and the presentation amazing and beautiful. Now here's something you don't see every day; an actual stuffed clam where the clam is still partially attached to the shell! None of that surimi crap! Finished the meal with a double espresso, shared a tartufo and cheese cake. I don't know if the digestif was complementary, but it was a nice touch. I don't know how the kitchen keeps up with the orders. The waitstaff must put a few miles on their feet a day and a cardio workout carrying the trays overflowing with food. Amazing! Everything in the restaurant is kept neat, clean, and organized. The music is not overwhelming. You can hear each other at the table. When the weather is a little nicer, they have beautiful outdoor seating with views of Long Island sound. It is very romantic, when the sun is setting, you can imagine yourself being somewhere exotic and far away. As the song goes; "Sometimes you don't know what you got till it's gone."

It was time for us Bronxites to have a catch-up session filled with laughs, good conversation and all the latest life updates. Turns out, it was absolutely worth it. We kicked things off with appetizers: mussels in a delicious wine+garlic sauce, a mixed greens salad with the creamiest+silky whipped feta dressing which was layered on the bottom and a tuna tartare served with crisp little breads that made every bite hit just right. The first round of drinks were nice. My Bellini wasn't made with the traditional peach purée and instead, they used like a peach liqueur. But honestly? It was still banging. Actually, it definitely had me feeling woozy. We were still hungry and decided to share the linguine with clams and the fish and chips. Thankfully, the fish portion was generous- but the chips? Way too skimpy for all that fish. The linguine with clams was delicious, but for $24, the portion was small with like only 6 tiny clams. Round two of cocktails and wine arrived and let's just say they hit real good. Service was incredible from start to finish- attentive in every sense of the word without hovering. The restaurant itself has an airy feel and is right on the water, making our lunch feel relaxed and nice for lingering over drinks and chit-chat.

We also sampled some sides from the regular menu and they were so good that's what made us want to go back. I returned on another Sunday and did the all you can eat seafood boil.

It was a little too salty for my taste and the crab legs were extremely overcooked and and salty. While it was salty I do not believe this to be a normal occurrence or at least I hope not. In addition the crab legs in the special are smaller than the crab legs from a normal crab leg order. This time around the side that takes the award was hands down the fried rice. I would go back just to order this. The waitstaff is hit and miss. My first time we had a super attentive waitress this time my waitress was very busy as she was the only one and also she was working the bar too.

Upon arrival the only available table for a party of 2 was directly in front of the DJ speakers so we sat at the bar. The bartender comes over and I tell her we're here for their Tuesday Happy Hour specials. As per their IG post tacos (ALL) are $2. So we ordered chicken, shrimp & steak. The bartender tells me the steak isn't included and is an additional charge. So I pull up the IG post which states differently. She's unaware of the post or special and has to run it by a manager. We ordered 6 tacos but 7 came out. I pointed out the extra taco she apologized and said we wouldn't be charged for it. Next I order the froze. The froze and the margarita were both juice like. Entirely too sweet for the froze and too much sour mix on the margarita. The tacos were mid, steak was tough & chicken wasn't seasoned. The check comes and we were charged the $2 for the steak taco, the 7th taco that I didn't order (the bartender was suppose to comp) was on the bill and froze that was suppose to be $2 as per the IG post was $13. I bring the price difference of the Froze to the bartenders attention and she states that the $2 froze is in a smaller cup than what she gave me. How would I know that? I showed her the IG post with specials upon placing my first order. Clearly if it's a Tuesday special and I'm ordering on a Tuesday that's why I'm ordering it. She said she would have to speak to a manager came back and said the manager wouldn't honor the $2 advertised price. I paid my bill and left. To make a social media post to gain patrons.... Patrons come specifically for said specials and then not honor them?! Such a waste of time and money. The service, food and drinks are subpar at best.
