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.
Planned my boyfriend's bday dinner here & everyone loved it!! Karan was so nice & fun! He was such a vibe. I've been coming here forever & I never get sick of their food! Omg especially their pina colada!!!
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!
I want to give this place 5 stars so badly because the food is truly amazing & deserves a 5 stars my only complaint is that it is a tad bit expensive even for the quality. I say this because you can find similar prices (of tacos) for an extra taco at other places & the same quality, which is a little off-putting. With that being said, there Birra tacos $25 for 3 (expensive for Montreal tacos, probably the most costly tacos ive seen $8.3 per taco) as still amazing When having in in-house, they have unbeatable flavour & the atmosphere is pretty amazing, with good vibes, good music, & good beer! Once again with that being said, I have noticed that service when walking in can be slow, not being greeted & having to wait for up to a couple minutes before having a waiter to come & seat you (even when its not busy) is a tad bit annoying but in the end, definitely a place I will come back to when my disposable income allows for it. All things considered, inflation is not slowing so it will not get cheaper & I don't take that out on the business, food is amazing, service could be a little bit better & atmosphere always suited to have a good time. Thanks Arriba, I will be back !!
I visited Aribba Burrito in Montreal recently. The overall vibe of the place was decent, but the open-back seating area was the real highlight - cozy, aesthetic, & a great spot to hang out or unwind.
I had a hot chocolate, which had a nice flavor but was served more warm than hot. By the time I started drinking it, it had already cooled down. Personally, I prefer hot chocolate that's rich, thick, & intensely chocolatey - this one was a bit too light for my taste.
The standout item for me was the French toast. It was delicious - soft, well-cooked, & had a creamy filling or spread inside that gave it an interesting twist. Sometimes it complicated the toast, but at times it had a slightly sour note. Overall, it was flavorful & satisfying. Easily the best part of my visit.
All in all, it's a charming spot with a relaxing atmosphere & some solid menu items. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area

Really just spectacularly amazing food & drinks the vibe is amazing but poor dietary restrictions information, friend was told something was gluten free & when she saw chips on her plate she asked to double check & upon double checking they told us the chips were fried in something with gluten in it, they sent some freebies which although appreciated would've not made up for my friend getting sick had she had ate the food
Just like there are tourist traps, there are'influencer traps': restaurants that look visually appealing on a reel & are the hot new thing getting promoted by all the local social media influencers but aren't really all that special. This is one such place.
We had nachos, tacos & a burrito & none of it tasted all that great. We've had much better at many other places. The tacos were particularly disappointing.
The service was also quite slow despite ample staff. It took forever to get our tacos & burrito to the point where we thought we had been forgotten.
Last note: I asked for hot sauce for my tacos & was given a bottle of lime & chili Cholula... that summed up the evening for me.
Arriba Burrito was made to look good on a social media reel. Not much else. At least the vibe is good...
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.

Love the food & the vibe! We really enjoyed the Birria tacos & the Al Pastor tacos. Servers were very friendly, but my only complaint is about the timing of the food. My bf received his dish about a few minutes before mine came out & it seems this was happening at quite a few tables. Not great given your dish starts getting cold while waiting for the others to arrive, but other than that, we had a great time & will be back!
I had a girls' night here a few weeks a go & it was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious with a truly authentic touch, & the margaritas were spot-on. The overall vibe of the restaurant was fun & perfect for a night out. To top it all off, our server Karan was amazing he really made the evening extra special.
Food was amazing, loved the birria tacos.
We were surprisingly let in on a busy night, with no reservations (i still recommend you reserve) 🙏 super sweet staff & waiters. Vibe was nice, restaurant was packed!!
