Arriba Burrito comes across as a lively, welcoming Mexican spot with bold flavors and a festive vibe. Reviews highlight standout dishes like birria and ribeye tacos, tacos al pastor, nachos, fajitas, enchiladas, and crowd pleasers on brunch such as French toast, creme brulee pancakes, churros, and a cookie latte, with cocktails and unlimited mimosas adding to the fun. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as energetic and convivial, sometimes electric and loud with a DJ, which many diners enjoy for a social night out but can be a challenge for conversation and seating, as the space is often crowded and tables close together. Service is generally friendly and attentive, with generous portions and fresh flavors, yet several experiences mention slow or inconsistent service, missed or delayed items, and some communication mishaps during busy times. Several reviews praise the staff and the management for personal touches and helpful recommendations, though a few note price at the higher end and occasional variation in value depending on the dish or time. Overall, Arriba Burrito is seen as a solid go to for authentic Mexican fare with big portions and big energy, worth a visit for brunch or a night out, with many expressing intention to return to try different dishes or to celebrate a special occasion.
Très bonne expérience pour le brunch un dimanche.
Violeta est adorable & réactive. Merci à elle pour le bon service !
Je recommande le latte biscuit, les pancakes crème brûlée & porc ananas !
The food was so amazing & the vibes were great! We had the brunch with the unlimited mimosas & it was wonderful value for price. Our server Carolina was especially kind & helpful!
Hypé par les réseaux sociaux. La nourriture était moyenne. Le service était très lent (1h pour recevoir notre plat au brunch). Nous avons dû tout demander: couvert, serviettes, facture…
Went for their brunch around 11:15am, & picked the seat in the back with glass roof, which was quite a nice spot
Had the cookie latte, which was surprisingly good, not too sweet & had the perfect cookie taste 😊
For the main, the taco birria was amazing, the meant & the cheese pull with the dipping sauce is must try 😋 made me decide to come back for their dinner taco next time
& the famous melted crème brûlée is everything
At the beginning I thought it would be too much, but turns out the flavour is just the perfect sweet brunch😊?portion is big enough for 2 ppl to share )
Service was a bit slow, maybe too many ppl ordered the famous pancake 😂but the waitress came over to apologize
Overall was a great spot to check it out 😌
This is such an airy light filled space with cute decorations. We ordered a cookie latte, a chocolate abuelita, enchiladas rojas with chicken, huevos divorciados & creme brulee pancakes. They blowtorch the creme brulee pancakes right in front of you & it's so fun.w Everything was so fresh & delicious. Service was super friendly. Would highly recommend for brunch!
Nous y sommes allées pour un brunch, la nourriture était vraiment bonne. Nous avons adoré l'ambiance! Le personnel était accueillant & le service assez rapide. Notre serveuse Violetta était super sweet!
J'y retournerai pour le souper !
Rapport qualité-prix plutôt décevant. Cher pour ce que les plats offrent. Pas très complexes ni raffinés. Du mexicain cozy, saveurs assez bonnes pour une portion minimale à 18-25$. Pas la meilleure place pour aller bruncher. Même dans les meilleurs cafés & brunch de Montréal, un latté ne coûte pas 6,50$. Comparable avec 3 amigos juste avec des plus belles assiettes…
Its a very festive spot for brunch. There was a DJ blasting Latino music. Its loud be warned. The food was good. I like the savory dishes over the creme brulée pancakes. The cocktails were pretty dope.

KARAN made our first brunch at Montreal a very special experience, came here for my friend's bachelorette & we all had very good time. The food is phenomenal & the vibes are accumulating. Definitely try their french toast, very yummy.
I stopped by Arriba Burrito in Montreal for brunch & was pleasantly surprised - especially since it's more known for its Mexican fare. I decided to try something on the sweeter side & ordered the Nutella pancake, & wow… it did not disappoint!
The pancake was soft, warm, & generously layered with creamy Nutella. It had that perfect mix of indulgent & comforting - a great choice if you're craving something sweet for brunch. The portion was just right, & it came out fresh & beautifully presented.
The atmosphere was casual & relaxed, perfect for a laid-back weekend brunch. Service was friendly, & even though I went in for something different than their usual burrito options, I felt totally welcomed.
✅ Cozy brunch spot
✅ Friendly staff
✅ Delicious Nutella pancake - perfect for sweet tooth cravings
✅ Fast service & clean setting
A nice hidden gem if you're looking for a chill spot with sweet brunch options. I'll be back to try their savory menu next time!
A brunch restaurant that I would go back to & recommend to other people 😍
The staff was very patient 💗 & I appreciate our waitress warning us about the sizes of the plates before locking in without orders. With that said the plates are quite hefty & huge for one person. 🙂???☺? Each dish is shareable.
With the menu prices, it looks expensive but the price definitely matches the amount & quality of food you are getting.
We chose to sit on the back terrasse which was very well lit & decorated. We did not wait too long for the food at all.
__________
[Spinach omelet]: tatses great for a light brunch, not too salty or cheesy. ⭐?
[Ham omelet]: quite filling for one person, tastes great ⭐?
[3 beef birria tacos]: simply one of the best 👌🏼. The waitress recommended it & it did not disappoint. ⭐?⭐?⭐?
[Chillaquiles]: devoured in a matter of minutes ⭐?⭐?⭐?
[Creme brulée pancakes]: ⭐?⭐?⭐?👌🏼 perfect & lovely presentation. Came in a very huge plate with lots of berries. Pancakes were fluffy & spongy but a bit too buttery for my taste. It is not as sweet as it looks too.
> We distributed the dish into five pieces & was a great way to end our savoury brunch.
* Forgot what my friend ordered but the dish was spicy. Flavour was great but definitely trust the menu when it says spicy, its spicy.
_____________
> cookie latté: tasted just like a regular latté but with sweetness from the lotus biscuit
> marzipan latté: again, just like a regular latté. Cannot taste the marzipan at all.

We arrived hungry from a very long trip & left with a very full belly ready to walk around Old Montreal.

We visited Arriba Burrito for the first time to celebrate my sister's birthday, choosing the spot based on strong online ratings & making a reservation in advance.
The ambiance & entertainment during brunch were enjoyable, & our waiter, Karan, was attentive-especially in accommodating our young children by asking the performer to avoid smoke effects near our table.
However, the overall experience was disappointing due to poor communication. Despite clear & repeated instructions, our custom food requests-especially for the Huevos Rancheros-were not executed properly. My daughter received only a small portion of scrambled eggs (which suited her), but we were still charged the full menu price ($17.95), which felt excessive given what was served.
Additionally, my sister's meal arrived incorrectly, with the eggs & salsa not separated as requested, & the extra egg for her children was missing. The server who brought the food seemed to misunderstand our requests entirely. Fortunately, Karan did his best to correct the issue & offered a complimentary plate of nachos.
Despite some good service moments, the inconsistent communication & pricing left us unsatisfied. We won't be returning based on this experience.
Amazing food & great drinks (even the moktail)! Recommend the Fajitas & nachos !
Edit: came back when I heard they had a great brunch menue & OMG, absolutly amazing!!! Chicken tacos were to die for, enchiladas were great (green ones 👌👌👌) & the pancakes were absolutly amazing. I'm not even a fan of pancakes (more a crêpes person usually) but I'm coming back just for them!
Le dimanche 30 mars, accompagnée d'une amie, je me suis rendue chez Ariba Burrito pour le brunch. Dès mon arrivée, l'expérience a été fantastique! L'ambiance avec DJ apportait une énergie incroyable, notre serveur était tout simplement exceptionnel, & la nourriture, délicieuse. J'ai adoré mon passage & compte bien y retourner très bientôt!
This is the best Mexican restaurant that we have been to outside of Mexico! Truly excellent all around with generous cocktails made with fresh fruit & an fantastic menu with a lot of variety. I can't recommend this place enough & I can't wait to go for brunch!
