Amazing service! We loved Karan - he was so helpful. Highly recommended the birira tacos, enchiladas, & the French toast. The tiramisu espresso martini is also amazing. They really cater to your dietary restrictions even for a big group which is awesome. Loved the experience! Would definitely come back again in a heartbeat!!!
We had such a lovely time at Arriba Burrito! The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, fresh, & satisfying. There was a bit of a mix-up with our order & a slight delay, but honestly, we didn't even mind because we were having such a great time enjoying the atmosphere.
To our surprise, the owner personally came out to apologize for the mix-up. We weren't upset at all, but the gesture meant a lot. It showed how much they care about their customers & the experience they provide. That kind of personal touch is rare & really appreciated.
Overall, the service was warm & attentive, & the food was more than worth the wait. We'll definitely be coming back & bringing friends with us! Highly recommend. 🌯🌟

What an amazing restaurant with an amazing staff & even better food! We went for my boyfriend's birthday dinner & we all had an unforgettable night. Karan made sure we were all good & he made sure we had a good time. We can't wait to come back & we recommend it to everyone!
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.

The food & service were excellent. I got the chicken tacos & they were absolutely fantastic. Karalina was a great server, would highly recommend the tacos here
Food was fantastic. Prices are fairly justified , quantity & quality in each dish! I would 100% recommended. Our waitress Evelyn was a totally sweetheart & her service was 10/10.
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!

Went there last Friday on recommendation of a halal mexican restaurant. The greeter at the door was all over the place & unpleasant. But once the 45 min was over , the food was very good but a little pricy.
They had a dj which added a nice touch to the ambiance. I would recommend just make reservations first.
Coming from Toronto to such a recommended Mexican cuisine it's unbelievable how good the service was especially our host & servicer, but the food was amazing especially the burria tacos, unbelievable you have to try it if your around worth the wait in line.
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 ❤?
An incredible experience! The food is absolutely amazing, & the warm atmosphere makes it feel like a second home. The manager is very involved & ensures that every guest has an exceptional time. I celebrated my best friend's birthday here, & she was treated like a true princess! The service was outstanding, with special touches that made the night unforgettable. We had so much fun & felt truly valued. I 100% recommend this place!
