/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "BROH" (as in "bro") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

Someone who gets a little too full of themselves after a promotion, win, or achievement. In Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela, a person who "se pone sabroso" starts acting superior and self-important the moment they taste a bit of success, and everyone around them notices immediately.

Examples

Se puso sabroso desde que lo ascendieron, ahora se cree mucho.

He got a big head after the promotion, now he thinks he is all that.

No te pongas sabroso que todavía no has llegado a nada.

Do not get cocky, you have not accomplished that much yet.
