Arriba Burrito specializes in the preparation of substantial, hand-held Latin American offerings that prioritize bold spices and fresh ingredients. The menu features generously filled flour tortillas packed with slow-cooked proteins, zesty salsas, and seasoned grains tailored for a casual, fast-paced culinary environment. As a dual-purpose establishment, the space integrates a functional bar area that serves a variety of spirited beverages designed to complement the savory, heat-driven profile of the food. Every order emphasizes speed and flavor consistency, ensuring that each component from the guacamole to the beans remains distinct.

This efficient model provides a direct experience for those seeking flavorful, reliable sustenance in a high-energy urban setting.
Arriba Burrito offers an authentic Mexican culinary experience that many diners find both delicious and generous, with standout items like birria tacos, nachos, and crème brûlée pancakes frequently praised for their quality and presentation. While the vibrant atmosphere, thoughtful decor, and friendly staff contribute to a memorable visit, experiences with service consistency and seating comfort vary significantly. Some patrons appreciate the attentive care and welcoming vibe, often highlighting specific servers who enhance the experience, while others note challenges such as long wait times, occasional errors in order delivery, and cramped seating arrangements. Although the price point is reflective of the portion sizes and quality for many, others find it somewhat high, and views on the necessity of reservations or the intensity of the music differ, making it a popular yet polarising destination in Montreal.
Very busy restaurant, well located, welcoming staff, mostly spanish speaking, the chefs are mexicans, as close as it can get to typical flavors in Mexico, overall recommended spot, fair prices for quality & amount of food.

I visited this Mexican restaurant today & honestly, it was pretty disappointing. The service was slow - they clearly need more servers to keep up. The food, which looked incredible on TikTok, turned out to be really underwhelming & overpriced. Definitely another influencer trap.
The meat was dry, the guacamole tasted like something straight out of a grocery store container, & overall the dishes just weren't very flavorful. For the price, I expected way more. The one redeeming quality was the drinks those were actually really good.
Wouldn't go back for the food, but maybe worth a stop if you're just grabbing cocktails.
La nourriture était très bonne, cependant gâchée par le mauvais service & un rat en backround…
Le personnel parle anglais ou un peu espagnol, mais la grande majorité ne parle pas français, ce qui mène malencontreusement à une mauvaise compréhension des commandes. De plus, nous avions un gérant qui parlait très peu français qui nous menaçait de nous facturer 50$ pour l'absence de 2 membres de notre groupe de 8 personnes, soit disant selon la nouvelle loi. Il nous force à changer de place dans le restaurant en raison de cette absence, comme une faveur en échange de ne pas nous charger les 50$… Après une breve recherche sur internet, il est facile de comprendre qu'il ne pouvait nous charger ces 50$ pour l'absence de 2 personnes sur 8. Finalement, un rat nous accompagnait une bonne partie de notre repas dans le petit jardin de la terrasse, à moins de 5 m de notre table… Bref mis à part la nourriture qui était bonne, le service a beaucoup gâché l'expérience… Voici une photo du rongeur en question:
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
Food was great overall. The only problem was that I ordered red sauce chilaquiles (which I have ordered twice before here), & was served green sauce chilaquiles. When I mentioned this to the server she told us that they don't do red sauce (which should had been mentioned when I ordered).
