Arriba Burrito (Express) is described in the reviews as offering authentic Mexican flavors with generous portions and a lively, friendly atmosphere, and service that is attentive at times. The menu is praised for burritos, tacos, and vegan options, with standout items like the barbacoa beef burrito and birria tacos, all at a reasonable value for size and quality. A few visits note inconsistencies such as meals served cold, longer waits, or limited beverage options, but the majority still recommend Arriba Burrito (Express) as one of the best Mexican options in the city, with outdoor seating and a casual, welcoming vibe.
Low quality nachos, even a beginner can do better , small portions to be highlighted.
Good pina colada cocktail
Took 1 hour to get the nachos , & another 1 hour to get the churros
Never going back again!
We've ordered from Arriba Burrito a few times through Uber Eats, but unfortunately this experience was very concerning.
We found multiple pieces of paper napkin mixed into the chicken filling of our burrito. My partner noticed a strange texture, spit it out, & we realized it was pieces of crumpled paper napkin-three in total.😱
This was not a wrapping issue; the paper was inside the chicken itself.
Very disappointing & concerning from a food safety perspective. Would not recommend, at least not the chicken.

We have been wanting to try Arriba Burrito for a while now, we are so happy we finally got the chance to eat here! Food was amazing, fresh & plate portions were big enough to share. I personally recommend the Rib Eye Steak Taco, meat was very tender!
Service was excellent, which made the experience better! The staff was great & made sure we were having a great time!
Food came fast too!
La nourriture est plus qu'excellente!! Tout ce qu'on a pris était bon.
Le service est chaleureux & bien à l'écoute.
Bien hâte de revenir cet été sur la terrasse!
first time coming here since the re-opening & i think the food is super good & the portion big. also very friendly service & nice atmosphere. however it did get a little more expensive, $31 for 3 tacos after tx+tip
Hands down best Mexican restaurant in Montreal. The food, service & atmosphere is amazing. Will never go to another Mexican restaurant ever again, nothing compares
This used to be my go-to burrito takeout spot. It sucks to write this, but since the renovation that made the place a sit-in restaurant, the quality of the food has gone down, the prices have gone up & ordering takeout is really awkward. $25 for a mid burrito & some of blandest guac you've ever tasted is indefensible.
Would come here often but the last two visits weren't up to par. I ordered tacos & they were served cold despite eating at the restaurant. Very disappointing since we travelled from far. I won't be coming back.
