The street taco plate was delicious and you can't go wrong with the carnitas. The Burrito smothered in green chile was also fantastic and the pickled onions and queso Fresca elevated some different notes. Right now, the Venalonzo margarita is at the top of my list, only to be topped by the house margarita at El Camino in Missoula, Montana. Weird I know, but if you know, you know.

I have been wanting to try this place and sad how much of a let down it was. Came in during lunch…read morefor a pick up order, fairly busy but not too long of a wait. For two people, ordered a set of 3 tacos (2x barbacoa and carnitas) and then another 3 tacos (asada, carnitas, and pastor), birria egg rolls, and a bean, cheese, and rice burrito. Not a big deal but they put all the tacos in one box and I was able to differentiate which 3 tacos that I ordered. This place is super stingy with salsa. They gave me 2 tiny containers for salsa and then when I asked for a couple more, the lady said she could only give me two more. :( Excited to try the food and started off great with a simple bean, cheese, and rice burrito but outside of that everything else was very meh. Not sure how but all the meats were so dry, I ordered braised/slow cooked meats (barbacoa and carnitas). Asada and pastor were okay as well. Everything lacked seasoning and the salsa didn't add much to the tacos either. Birria tacos were also dry and consommé needed salt to be added. Value was not bad at $37.64. Tacos were about $3-3.20 per

The inside has a few small tables and open kitchen concept. I couldn't eat anything too large (their burritos) so I decided to try their tacos. I ordered the steak, carnitas and upgraded the last taco to a birria. Water is self service and my food came out quickly. They had quite the variety of salsas. It ranged from light spice to very spicy. There wasn't one that was just mild. I tried the 3 middle ones and all had their own unique flavor and spice to it. The tacos were a bit disappointing. The steak and carnitas were fairly dry. I ended up dipping my carnitas into the consomme and that helped. I also did not notice much of a difference in my taco shell for the birria. It does cost extra to make the birria, so I wasn't thrilled about that. The consomme was a good compliment to the birria though. I will probably come back and try a burrito from this restaurant. Maybe the tacos aren't their strong suit.

The steak burrito was very good and flavorful and a decent size. Wasn't the biggest fan of the green chili smothered atop of the burrito; however, it was alright. It was a bit too sweet and tangy for my preference. The al pastor sope was very tasty, although they missed the pineapple i requested. I'd give the sope 5 stars, flautas 3.5 stars, & had I gotten a handheld burrito instead of a smothered one, I'd easily give it a 5 as well. my lunch date's al pastor burrito was good sized but was luke-warm and missing the pineapple he requested. he also ordered it with a green chili smother, which he didn't care for. The chili tasted sour, & he couldn't really determine the flavor (maybe lots of lime?), but it overpowered the flavor of the whole burrito. he well go back and try it again - definitely without their green chili. he also had a chili relleno which was very flavorful and average in size. the location is great with plenty of parking. the restaurant was fairly quiet, despite the time of day and number of patrons there. really nice staff. service felt slow, but we were famished, so that could be why. prices are rather palatable. I'd certainly return here again.

I passed Sabroso on my way back to my hotel and popped in to an excellent food find. The dining area is great! Large and comfy, surely a good place to hang with friends. There's an outdoor area and I sat there. This is a walk up and order establishment and the young lady behind the counter was extremely helpful. I got the a plate of chips and guacamole and it was really good. The chips were house made, light and crunchy and the guacamole was delicious. I also got a huranches (I think that's how it's spelled) with carnitas and it was a delicious large portion. Let not forget the ginormous mango margarita. Wow that was one heck of a drink. Don't miss this place if you are in the area.

I ordered the taco bowl which came in a traditional taco shell bowl that was crisp and crunchy, but the bowl was about 75% lettuce and little to no meat and or other toppings except for some mushy bean paste that was mostly used to glue the bowl to the plate. Overall an OK experience.

This was covered with a green chile sauce (very mild), so most of the chimichanga was not crispy when I ate it (got it to go back to work). It was a decent size, and had a good amount of carnitas in it. I'd say it was good, but the carnitas were a little bland for my taste, as was the green chile sauce. There wasn't enough sour cream or guac in my opinion for the size of the chimichanga. I might try to order this again with another meat - probably ground beef, though I'd ask for extra sour cream and guac. I also ordered a side of crispy chile rellenos. That looked good, but was also just good - even when mixed with the green chile sauce. It had plenty of lettuce, tomato, etc., but didn't come with sour cream or guac. I won't order this again. I used Tapatio on both items and it helped - but didn't really change my impression of the meal.

As for ordering you went up to an electronic menu and ordered via the tablet in front of you.

I love that they have a taco of the month and I generally always try and try it. Queso and chips are always a great shareable option and I also got a side of the street corner, which had an amazing flavor. In addition, I typically always get Horchata to finish off the meal. It's almost like a dessert in a drink.

We ordered the chips and guacamole, and the chips came out covered in cold, shredded bagged cheese. It wasn't melted like nachos, so the cheese just fell off every time you picked up a chip. The guacamole was also very pale green, whipped completely smooth, and tasted bland. The texture made us wonder if it had been mixed with something else because it didn't taste or feel like fresh guacamole. The birria tacos were incredibly greasy, to the point they were almost inedible, and the consommé had a very strong cinnamon flavor that completely overpowered everything else. We also ordered the huevos rancheros, and while we understand every restaurant has its own take, this version was unlike any we've ever had. The flavors just didn't work for us. Maybe it's just not our style, but nothing we ordered lived up to our expectations. We won't be rushing back.
