This place is basically like Chipotle but better. The price is about the same too. ($7.41 for either Carnita, Chicken, or Steak Plato or Salad, Guacamole was an extra .69) they also have quesadillas and burritos. The steak is a must try. You can smell the grilled steak from the outside. I also asked the employee which is better, the carnita or steak. She said steak…well of course an employee there should know which is better. I ordered the steak salad and my friend ordered the carnitas plato. The only difference between the salad and plato is that the plato has rice and beans. The carnita is basically a piece of flavored pork where she shredded it apart to put on the bowl. It wasn't too salty but tasted pretty basic. I'd say the steak was pretty good but pretty much the same as chipotle. The only difference here would be that they gave a huge portion. It was stacked and they gave a lot of meat. We also ordered a side of nachos and it tasted pretty fresh like they actually baked it. I don't think you can really go wrong with this place.
I ended up at Sabroso while searching Yelp for Mexican eats. It was "Hot and New" so I decided to give them a try. Sabroso is located on Horace Harding expwy two blocks away from the shopping center (Michaels, Five Guys, Qdoba etc). I actually thrive off of taking the back streets (shortcuts Yay!) so I came up on the side block of this fast casual joint. I intially thought "what the hell its only houses over here" *confused face* but ended up seeing Sabroso right on the corner (184 and Horace Harding).
Everyone says it so I guess I should too…Yes they are almost identical to Chipotle, kind of like a step brother. The quality of food (fresh and high quality meat), layout of the menu and the seating inside is extremely similar. The menu has a few more options like quesadillas and meat nachos, which is cool.
Once I walked in I was a bit surprised by the layout, it was clean and modern but didn't feel like it worked well with their logo. Their logo is a red jalapeño (mustache included) with a sombrero on that seems to be basking in some sort of happiness. I assumed it would have been a bit more festive and fun looking, like a mom and pop mexican joint but I guess not.
I ordered their Pollo asado salad bowl (lettuce, chicken, pinto beans, grilled onions/peppers, pico de gallo, guacamole and their mild dressing, which surpringly is Jalapeño. I also scored a bag of chips on the house from the cashier which was a nice gesture. My first complaint is how little bit I got. From the amount of beans to the guacamole (which is additional btw) was the tiniest amount ever (I guess they got that from Chipotle too lol). The free chips I scored were half fresh half stale, did they just put more fresh chips on top of old ones? Weird! and the food itself was just mediocre.
I probably won't be returning
I would say the dining experience here is less than ideal. There aren't really many places to sit, and there is nothing in particular that makes the dining room feel welcoming. In my opinion, they are a bit understaffed, as I saw delivery men running behind the counter to answer phones and make burritos, and then jumping back on their motorcycles to deliver them. Pretty cool to watch, but perhaps not the most efficient system.
The food here is fine; better than most chain restaurants; and the portions are great. Prices are very reasonable too.
I drove past the other day and thought FINALLY this place is open. It seemed like that coming soon sign was hanging in the window forever. I live within the delivery radius of the restaurant and decided to order one lazy weekend. No issues with the delivery, it arrived pretty quickly without any hassle. The order was correct as well so that's a plus.
I definitely see why people are comparing the place to chipotle. I definitely got that same vibe from it. The menu is also pretty limited. I got the pollo asado platter. I didn't find there to be very much chicken in this mish mosh of stuff slapped together on this platter. The flavor was okay. The ingredients seemed decent and fresh though. Honestly I'd probably get more chicken at Chipotle. I also tried the carnitas taco. It was okay but they didn't double up on the taco so after adding the salsa the whole thing was falling apart from the moisture of the tomatoes by the time it got to me. They either need to consider putting the salsa on the side or doubling up on the soft taco shell. At nearly $4 for this extremely small taco I think they can afford to do so. The pork was also kind of fatty. They can definitely do a better job of separating the fat once it's been cooked.
The only real thing that I was impressed with about the whole meal was that it's only 69 cents to add guacamole and the guac was pretty good but it was overshadowed by the giant glob of sour cream that was dumped on top. After getting down to the bottom of the plate I feel like I mostly ate corn and rice with a few nibbles of chicken. Not sure if the eat in experience is different but after looking at some other yelper's photos who dined in it's starting to look like those who ordered for delivery are getting shafted on the meat to veggie ratio.
Sabroso is.. fast, fresh, and sorta YUMMY.
The husband and I were HANGRY and were craving for some Mexican comfort food similarly to Chipole and Qdobo.. and so he found this local Mexican spot after searching on Yelp!
We both ordered the following and the portions are generous.
Pollo Asado Plato
$7.81
Naturally raised chicken. Include cheese, rice, black or pinto beans, salsa and sour cream.
Pollo Asado Burrito
$7.81
Naturally raised chicken. Include cheese, rice, black or pinto beans, salsa and sour cream.
We liked what we ordered. There were some good quality ingredients used, but the rice was slightly hard and difficult to chew. My order came out to be colder than expected, minus the corn too!
Are the chicken natural or organic here? Welps, it's up to your discretion but I'd say it tastes very fresh and that's what my husband and I like.
The menu is not that big.
Again, maybe the only complaint I had was the cold platter. Who knows, maybe dining in would be better?!
This place is considerably a go-to… if you don't want long lines as supposed to the bigger chains.
my bf and i came here on a saturday night at 6pm so that would be basically prime time dinner and there was only 1 couple sitting down. we ordered take out .
he got the steak burrito while i got the chicken burrito.
i didnt like the fact that they only had 1 type or rice to choose from.
i have to say both the steak and chicken were very flavorful but after eating the whole burrito, it was a bit salty.
my bf loves chiptole and he said he would come back to sabroso and order their burritos again since we dont have a chipotle in this neighborhood but me on the other hand, im not too sure of it because it didnt wow me as much…
