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.
La salsa de las enchiladas verdes estuvo 10/10 solo me hubiera gustado que el pollo no estuviera tan sazonado ya que le quitaba protagonismo a la salsa. En cuanto al servicio, Violeta se porto increíble y fue muy atenta.
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.
Nos plats étaient tous délicieux, mais ils n'ont vraiment pas été servis en même temps. & une personne dans notre groupe n'a pas eu son plat. Aussi, pas de menu pour les enfants. Mais on a pu partager les plats.
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
Ceci est mon avis après une première visite. J'ai découvert le arriba burato, après être tombée sur un vidéo de l'endroit sur facebook. L'arriba, étant a 5 minutes à pied d'un spectable de prévu cette journée là, fut notre choix final pour notre repas.
Nous avons commencé avec le nachos & un cocktail. Le nachos était délicieux. Par contre, les plats principaux, suivant le nachos, sont composés des mêmes sauces & des mêmes chip avec guacamole.
Nous avons aussi commandé une bouteille de vin qui qui nous est arrivée déjà ouverte avec le liège remis a l'envers (comment savoir si c'est une nouvelle bte ou du vin transvidé?) sur la bouteille, dans un sceau à glace (même si c'est un rouge). Le serveur ne nous a pas fait gouter le vin & ne nous a pas servi notre premier verre. Ceci étant pour moi un énorme faux pas en restauration. Je travaille en restauration & le service d'une bouteille implique la présentation & la dégustation de la bouteille à la personne qui a commandé le vin, mais pas ici apparemment
Bref, je n'y retournerai pas. La nourriture était bonne, mais redondante. J'irai aux 3 amigos juste à côté à la place, désolée.
Sur une facture à 100$ que pour moi, ce fut un 15% avant taxes bien mérité.

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.
Si vous aimez la nourriture mexicaine, c'est l'endroit parfait ! Les plats sont super biens présentés & les serveurs sont vraiment sympas ! La nourriture est vraiment bonne & épicée juste ce qu'il faut ! Entre 20 & 30 dollars pour manger & entre 30 & 40 pour manger + une boisson
Pensez à réserver à l'avance

Un super resto mexicain ! Les plats sont délicieux, l'ambiance géniale & le service impeccable. Attention, c'est un peu épicé… mais c'est ce qui fait le charme ! 🌶?🇲🇽
