Sabroso BIRRIA TACOS — Restaurant in Troy

Okay guys, this is the spot. I visit Mexico every couple months and I believe myself to be a taco guru at this point. This is the place for an authentic Mexican style meal. From the outside it looks a little shady, not much signage and kind of looks run down, but those are the best spots right? Hidden gem. The prices are typical ranging 10-13$ for tacos, quesadilla. Which are both very tasty. My friend and I ordered the chips and guac for a starter along with the chicken empanadas. Both were very well-made, and for our main plate we got Bierria tacos and chicken tacos. They were so good I had to save some and bring it to my sister who is also a big taco fanatic. On our way out I noticed a waiter bringing a table an order of churros, and after driving home I decided I had to drive back and get an order of churros. They were AMAZING. Like out of this world good. Highly recommend this spot! Don’t be intimated when you walk in it is a family run spot and all the staff is very friendly plus the food is delish!! True authentic Mexican food...

Solid choice for a casual dinner: The birria tacos, ironically, were the least loved of the dishes we ordered, but still pretty good- For tacos, a better place may be El Charro or La Capital Tacos

The warm churros were a delicious way to end a meal. Tres leches cake was also pretty good, and probably average for the area.

For those who don't shy away from non-conventional foods-- the Menudo is a must-try. Available only Friday-Monday: The stew is perfectly slow cooked with incredible, deep flavor-- I think this might be one of the best dishes you can order near Albany (that is, if you enjoy a good tripe and hock meal). The serving was generous and filling, and tasted like it was simmered for days and lovingly ladled into a bowl by your Mexican grandmother. It is absolutely worth a 5+ star on its own.

This is our first meal at Sabroso and the review reflects first impressions: Sabroso seems to be an OK place to get relatively common standard Mexican-American food, but the less common choices may be what they are...

This is about as authentic as it gets, between the many Mexican flags and themed decorations, the (loud) mariachi music, and the customers and staff who all looked and spoke Mexican. The server's English was good enough to put the orders in without trouble.

The birria chimichanga I got was very good, with juicy, tender meat and a good amount of cheese. It was securely wrapped without excess layers of tortilla. The empanadas, unfortunately, are not something I can recommend, nor the shredded beef with which they were filled. The dense dough and dry, underseasoned beef made for a bland dish.

I will definitely come again, just not for...
