Arriba Burrito is widely celebrated for serving some of the best and most authentic Mexican cuisine in Montreal, with many diners praising the freshness of the ingredients, the generous portion sizes, and the high quality of handmade items like tortillas. While the majority of reviews highlight an amazing atmosphere and excellent service, experiences can be inconsistent, as some patrons have encountered slow service or occasional issues with temperature and food preparation. Following recent renovations, the establishment has evolved into a more upscale setting, leading to higher price points that some find reasonable given the value, while others feel it is overpriced. Despite varying opinions on service speed and cost, the consistent quality of the tacos, burritos, and cocktails keeps many customers returning for a reliable and flavorful dining experience.
I am extremely dissatisfied with our experience here. My family & I previously visited the other location & had a great time, which is why we decided to come here. However, I have nothing positive to say about this visit. We ordered the nachos, which took 45 minutes to arrive, & when they finally did, the cheese was so stiff that we had to cut it with a knife. We also ordered other food, but after waiting an hour without being checked on once-despite the server checking on every other table-we had to leave. When we asked the server what was happening, she had no explanation. Overall, this was very disappointing & made us feel mistreated. I do not recommend this location!.
It was so bad that I wanted to give you a zero, but that's not possible so I give you a one.
For the food we ordered nachos, I don't know if the food had been ready for a while & left under a red light or it's just that bad usually. But the cheese was cold so cold that we had to cut it with a knife to be able to eat the nachos properly.
Service was so slow we ended up waiting over an hour to receive our food that never came. We ended up leaving mad, annoyed & disappointed.
The server never tried to come & check on us, give updates nothing. Only reason we got answers was because we asked. Extremely frustrating never going there again. AVOID AT ALL CAUSE.
Horrible service food is mid ordered the nachos & the cheese was so stiff I had to cut it with a knife absolutely horrible on top of that we waited over & hour for our food & when we asked the server what was going on she had no explanation just awful service all around she never checked on us once very disappointed

Très belle expérience chez Ariba Burrito grâce à l'offre Spectra, qui était vraiment très rentable. Le burrito était délicieux, les nachos étaient généreux & excellents, les churros étaient savoureux & l'énorme pina colada était super bonne. Un merci spécial à notre serveuse, qui était très aimable & attentionnée. Je recommande sans hésiter !
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!
Très bonne découverte de la cuisine mexicaine 😋
Nous avons mangé en terrasse : les tacos, burrito & nachos sont excellents !
Les ingrédients sont de qualité & tout est fait maison...
Je vous le conseille fortement
Huge delicious pulled chicken burrito fully loaded with rice, beans, pickled onions, cheese, salsa, cilantro, pico de gallo & guac. I thought it was supposed to come with nachos chips & guac (it didn't) but I definitely didn't more food so no big deal. Highly recommend.
Real Mexican food lovers: here's the spot! Familial restaurant owned & created by Mexican grandparents, real atmosphere, & excellent food! We took a nachos plate (with guacamole & meat), shared it between two people & left the restaurant with a full stomach ;) Thank you for having us, we'll come back very soon!
Restaurant très bien placé ! Les serveuses sont très gentilles & souriantes. Les burritos 🌯 sont excellents. Bien garnis & très savoureux. Ils sont servis avec des petits nachos & du guacamole. Nous avons pris à emporter & notre commande était très bien emballée, les burritos étaient encore chauds (20 minutes de marche). Petite préférence pour la sauce piquante. A tester !
