Stopped by in the morning for breakfast — what a great spot! The place has a welcoming vibe with Mexican music playing softly in the background. I ordered a chicken burrito — nicely presented and pretty tasty. The salsa is homemade and full of flavor. Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. Definitely recommend it!

Excellent Mexican fare, festive colors, and a warm environment with the such kind and courteous staff will inspire you to return to this lovely eatery time and time again. The down-to-earth and welcoming quality of the Sabroso Pollo leaves a lasting pleasant vibe that lingers. I'm so looking forward to my next visit.

Saw this place on Doordash with great reviews so we had to try it out, it did not disappoint!!! I got a carne en su jugo, and 2 whole chickens with rice and beans. The chicken is very well seasoned and is not dry, the sauces that come with it are really good too in comparison with other spots. We will definitely have to go try in person.

The food was amazing. It might have been a bit pricey but definitely worth it. The portions are a good amount so you're definitely getting your money's worth. This is gonna be my new restart to eat. Can't wait to return.

Las porciones son muy grandes y generosas. Buen servicio. Trate“ The Parrillada Sabroso” y me gusto que tiene pollo, carne aracherra, chorizo, queso fresco, cebollitas, nopal asado y chile güero. Lo recomiendo.

Went there with my mother today Great food So many options Chicken was tender and tasty The agua de guayaba was great! Bar area and drink options are fantastic The salsa that comes with the chips as an appetizer is good, however I wish their table salsa/Chiles were more spicy
