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.
Staff is really nice & helpful. The drinks are to die for, the horchata cocktail tastes exactly like horchata but for grown ups & the maracuya colada is so refreshing. We had the nachos, the birria tacos & two churros everything was flavorful & tasty.

Authentic Mexican flavors served by an amazing host. Nachos were hot & fresh, the tacos were so flavorful. It was a highlight of our trip to Montreal. Will definitely be back again & again.
Best Mexican restaurant I ever went to. I recommend a pineapple nachos, it is very good. Also try the beef tacos they are all very good. Beware that a lot of stuff is very spicy🌮🌯🫔👍👌 please go here, you will love it ❤?
My husband & I, had such an amazing experience at Arriba Burrito tonight. Service was excellent with three waiters attending to us. Food was beyond delicious, truly an authentic experience. Everything came in a timely manner. We shared the nachos, birria tacos & then burrito.. all to die for! Their drinks & ambiance are also wonderful! Can't wait to go back!
The restaurant is beautiful nicely decorated the atmosphere is great for conversations it's not too loud the food was amazing we had the nachos entree which was the best!

Nous avons pris des burritos & ils étaient très bons ainsi que copieux. Les quelques nachos au bord de l'assiette font également bien plaisir ! Je recommande :)
Service très médiocre & coutellerie sale, verre d'eau avec des résidus noir qui flottait. Nachos ordinaires, tacos a poulet pas très bon, quesadillas correct. Le grand serveur sur la terrasse avant était en mode festif avec des clients & leur servait de la tequila gratuite, il était 18:00 & j'étais avec ma famille. Je ne vous le recommande pas & j'y retournerai pas. Je retournerai voir son compétiteur Amigos juste à côté. Beaucoup trop dispendieux $$$ pour 3 petits tacos
The best Mexican food I've had, they check every single box when it comes to quality & flavour, the Birria tacos melt in your mouth & the nachos have the freshest vegetables & sauce known.to man, they don't use any cheap ingredients what so ever. I come from Ottawa just to eat here. The restaurant has a beautiful layout as well with the out door garden seating.

Honestly very disappointing evening & kick-off to terrace season. It took an hour to get drinks, longer to get our nachos & food. No updates from the staff. No real attempt to make us feel like values customers. Upset because I brought a friend here after having two positive experiences & she's turned off now. Quite frankly, so am I.
We had a great dinner here! We tasted the nacho plate & it was fresh & delicious! Then 3 different taco plates. Tacos Birria & they were mouth watering!! The pork pineapple tacos were fantastic & spicy!! Last the shredded chicken tacos were tasty !Great atmosphere, fantastic ,tasty drinks & good food!! Will go back in the summer for the back terrasse!
Nice atmosphere, delicious food & drinks! We had the nachos, burrito, tacos, chimichanga & the quesadilla - all with different meats & all were delish! Drinks were fantastic - right balance of flavor & alcohol & fresh ingredients. The servers were attentive, fairly prompt, & refilled our water regularly. We would go there again :) In terms of value - the drinks & entrees were priced appropriately for a nice Mexican restaurant ($15CAD -$25CAD), though the nachos were overpriced as an appetizer & the amount served ($27 CAD).

Tried Arriba Burrito for dinner The interior is so cool. Very colorful & well decorated. We tried many items & everything was delicious. Its the best Mexican restaurant in Montreal! Im so in love with their Nachos & Birria Tacos! The fajitas were delicious as well. They have fresh drinks. I ordered the carajillo & loved it. They use high quality ingredients. Big portions & very cool presentation. Very Friendly staff ! Fair prices! Highly recommended. 5/5 Follow @ayahayek_ for more on instagram
Dropped by for a quick feed before a concert & was very happy with the quick & friendly service & quality of nachos! Great stuff. EDIT: I returned 2.5 years later in March 2024, also before a concert, & I was again quite pleased with the quality of food
Très bon restaurant ! Les assiettes sont assez généreuses mais pas assez généreuses pour le prix 🫠 Par contre! Beaucoup de saveurs, poulet très tendre dans le quesadillas, mojitos EXCELLENT. Petite remarque constructive : Les nachos devraient être accompagnée de salsa ainsi que de crème sure à côté. &... allez, un peu plus de fromage 😁! Des nachos, ça doit être fromagé à plein! C'est pour ça qu'on les prends ! Je dois dire que les chips de tortillas sont excellentes, croquantes & légères & elles ont un goût salé. Parfait. Je recommande. Ça va assurément rassasié ton craving de bouffe mexicaine. Conseil pour les amoureux de la nourriture : Choisissez TOUJOURS des restaurants en haut de 4.3 étoiles. En bas de ça, ça en vaux même pas la peine de se déplacer. Je vous donne une note de 4 étoiles pour l'ambiance, la musique, la décoration, le service, les beaux sourires des serveurs & la bouffe excellente.
This place was incredible! Music, ambiance & service were just as amazing as the food. Karan was our server & was so kind & super fun to talk to! Please try their spicy margarita - it's so sweet & definitely has a kick to it. I would give this place a 20 if i could. Extra points for their nachos & the birria was to die for. Will be coming back every time I am in Montreal
