“ I used to come to this place long ago when I was in school. It was nice to be able to stop by there on a whim today and find that it's still survived after all these years. I ordered a carne asada fries and it was just as good today as it was all those years ago ”
“ Not sure what this was before it was taken over but looks can be deceiving. A nice drive thru or dine in (small) Mexican burrito joint with a lot more than burritos. Take a protein and they'll pretty much make it however you want it, Tacos, enchiladas, tortas and more. Had Carnitas, was moist and full of flavor. Nice touch with the mini salsa bar. The chips and guac was not impressive. Overall I would come back to try something else. ”
“ I can believe this place, never seen it before a gem in hiding. Amazing flavors , well stocked salsa bar with Chiles, sauces, radishes and encurtido. Lowes prices I've seen for the amount of food you get, my chorizo burrito loaded no FILERS!! (potatoes, fries, rice etc), just chorizo and egg I added jalapenos, cilantro and onions. coming back for the machaca plate , warning I've seen it enough for 2. ”
“ I've been enjoying Sabrosada's food for over 10 years now. It's always delicious and portions are generous. Highly recommend! ”
“ This is really authentic Mexican food. It's delicious and the prices are perfect. And their chips are to die for! ”
“ I ordered the carne asada super nachos. It was delicious and was probably enough for two people. Prices are good for the amount of food. Delicious all around. I will definitely be coming back. ”
“ Every time I come home to Orange County, my late-night go-to spot is Sabrosada. The #20 with four chicken flautas and a half order of the carne asada fries (sub with skinny fries if they have them) are a MUST. The only thing I wish they have more of is the sour cream on top, it’s been a bit less lately but overall still great! The wait can be long sometimes when ordering drive-thru since they get busy and the food takes a bit to make. Everyone’s pretty patient and nice though, so practice patience too if you get hangry easily! ”
“ Best filling comfort food! Very authentic and HUGE portions. Great variety of menu. Service is always giving with a smile. Never got an order wrong. They are not chintzy on sauces. An anytime go to and a definitely must go to ”
