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.
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.

A nice place in the middle of Quartier Latin with music playing in the background. The walls are filled with intricate cultural designs with a lot of history. The food is super delicious whether Nachos, Fajitas, Tacos or Enchiladas 😍 My friends really like this place & the staff is super kind & social who want to make you feel as comfortable as possible. One of the best Mexican restaurants in Montreal😊 UPDATE: Been there many times & as always love the authentic food & atmosphere ! Definitely a 11/10 restaurant ❤?
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!

Super good food, worth every second of the wait!! The staff is amazing & super sweet, they're all very friendly & helpful! The music is so amazing, truly adds to the atmosphere of it all!! Highly recommend making a reservation beforehand as it is incredibly busy, but overall it's amazing!!!
Incroyable expérience! Tout était parfait! Nous avons mangé Guacamole & Burritos avec des Mojitos!! Tout était excellent! Service très rapide & gentil!
J'ai attendu plus de 10 min à l'entrée avant que quelqu'un vienne me servir alors que j'avais une réservation & que le restaurant était presque vide. En général, l'attente est longue, le service aussi, même quand le resto n'est pas achalandé. La musique était trop forte, on pouvait à peine s'entendre parler. La nourriture par contre était délicieuse, dommage que le service & l'ambiance ne soient pas à la hauteur.

Great service, great food, the crème brûlée pancakes were definitely the star of the show. The Birria tacos were great, but they were lacking some flavour. Would still come back to try other dishes:)
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!!
