Sabroso Taqueria — Restaurant in Boston

When I heard that Sabroso was owned by one of my other favorite restaurants, I was excited to try them out. While I wasn't disappointed with Sabroso, it didn't blow me away either. It struck me as average, chain-quality Mexican food. A solid lunch, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I tried the Chicken Bowl. Individually, each of the main components were tasty enough: black beans, rice, lettuce, pico de gallo, chicken, avocado. Would have been a bit better if these were pre-mixed for you. Everything tasted great, but nothing out of the immediate realm of ordinary. The chicken was moist enough, but a few pieces were dry. The black beans were soft enough, but some were a bit hard. Plenty of sour cream and tomatoes to make sure nothing was dry. Slightly spicy, but nowhere near overwhelming.

I heard great things about their hot sauce, but didn't try it myself.

Very fast service; even with a long line, you'll be in and out quick. At $9, it's a little steep for what you're getting here, but it's not outrageous.

All in all, I'd come back every now and then if I'm craving...

Today the Sabroso staff became my superheros.

While Sabroso is already one of our office's favorite lunch spots - Personally, their bean and rice quesadilla is my favorite in the city. It has all the right flavors, it is the perfect size and it always tastes fresh.

Today however, I spent about an hour and a half having a full panic attack as I realized my engagement ring was no longer on my finger. I retraced all my steps, calling 4 other businesses that I had been in at some point today. Two didn't even offer to help the other two had no luck.

The Sabroso staff, however, had found it on the floor, kept it safe and when I went in to ask they pulled it out, and I was in tears. The staff were so kind and kept it safe for me the many hours after I must have dropped it.

Safe to say I will be getting my ring resized and will be a lifelong loyal...

The tacos at Sabroso are consistently AMAZING I've been eating lunch here for 3 years. They use soft corn tortillas, and the toppings/fillings are perfectly thought out/portioned. They are generous with their meat filling. The staff is super accommodating with special requests (extra of this, none of that), and maintain a good pace for the lunch crowd, so you are never waiting too long, even if the line is out the door. I usually order steak or chicken tacos, no sour cream, and I get real cravings if I haven't been there in more than a week. I bring as many people here as possible, because it is really hard to find a better...
