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.

On my second visit, I tried the mahi fish nachos and steak taco, which were both delicious. I also got the Carrera Bowl with al pastor. It was a little on the salty side, but still tasty overall.

We got the chip trio and it was really good! The chips were perfectly crispy and seasoned, and the queso was yummy too. We also got the birria tacos and really liked those. The one thing that knocked off two stars for us was the carne asada fries. The fries were honestly pretty terrible -- hard and not fresh tasting -- and the whole dish came out cold. We even heard the table next to us talking about their fries being cold too, which was weird since the fries are being made right there. Maybe we just caught them on an off night? But for $16 it's unfortunate to have a bad item. Either way, we'd definitely come back! I'd just skip the carne asada fries next time

I was extremely disappointed by the owners attitude toward customers and the way he treated his…read moreemployees was incredibly off-putting. I witnessed the way he spoke to his employees, and it came across as disrespectful and demeaning, which made the overall atmosphere very uncomfortable. On top of that, he openly pushed his MAGA and Christian Nationalist political views, which I found completely inappropriate in a restaurant setting. Everyone is entitled to their political beliefs, but customers should not feel pressured or uncomfortable because of an owner's personal political agenda. Food was alright, but will NEVER return. Also contacted all my family and friends who also love coming here to not return. Completely disgusting.

Overview of the dining room

Sabroso Fresh Mexican Grill - Deluxe Smothered Burrito - Definitely tasty but probably not the best chile out there. Added steak & for the veggies inside. Good size.

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.

It's such a simple but clever idea, and honestly something I've never seen anywhere else. It's a great way to start the meal and sets the place apart.

It was really, really good. Service was great, and the restaurant was very clean. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. Great place overall.

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.
