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.
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.
Soy mexicana, y no les miento, siempre soy muy crítica cuando se trata de comida mexicana fuera de México, pero este restaurante me dejó sin palabras. Desde que entré, me sentí como en casa. La comida está llena de sabor y un sazón que me recuerda a mi México. La salsas están buenísimas !
El servicio también es muy bueno, todos súper amables y te hacen sentir como si estuvieras entre familia.
Si te encanta la comida auténtica, no te puedes perder esta joya. Yo definitivamente volveré!
Trop de hype pour ce que c'est
Nourriture correct sans pour autant dire wow!!!
Service bof bof, un peu cafouillage
Prix d'un simple café 7$ ...
Commandé un thé à la place du café (prix non indiqué sur le menu), c'est revenu au même prix que le café à savoir 7$ ... de l'eau chaude dans une tasse non remplie & un sachet de thé que tu retrouves dans n'importe quel commerce ... cher payé en tout cas)
Ambiance: dj sur le place, cependant si tu viens pour un brunch (c'était mon cas) & tu penses pouvoir discuter sans crier pour te faire entendre des tes amis, alors ce n'est pas le bon endroit
Si tu as envie de manger mexicain en te déshydratant d'un café ou d'un thé de'luxe' (le plus cher que j'ai vu sans comparer avec certaines enseignes connues dont les prix ne sont pas a ce niveau), que tu n'as peur que ton portefeuille pleure à la fin, que la musique, style tu es dans un club & que tes tympans sont'soundproof,' alors je dirai pourquoi pas ... dans le cas contraire y a pleins d'autres endroits bien meilleurs à essayer pour de la bouffe mexicaine, avec une très bonne expérience & plus abordables.
Brunch food was superb. This joint is crowded & loud they need to remove a table along the wall as the patrons chairs are literally shoved into each other & very difficult to sit in. The dj is excellent but we had to ask them to turn it down a bumit as we had to shout to be heard by the person sitting beside us. Service is slow. Hot chocolate luke warm. We ordered four they were all like this. Food came out very staggered for the table. Like over 5 min between my avocado toast & the brioche french toast. Last to arrive being the creme brûlée pancakes. It was all delicious but some tweaking is required. One of the dishes arrived with mushrooms which wed asked to be excluded. Once we got our servers attention it was fairly quickly resolved.
Found this place from an Instagram food influencer hyping this place to have the best tacos in town. I was very disappointed. The birria tacos had the Instagrameable cheese pull which I don't care about since it didn't taste like much. Even the caldo de birria didn't smell nor tasted like the spices used for birria.
Not terrible food, but overpriced for the taste that you get.
Service & atmosphere is good enough. Nothing to complain about.
Food is honestly so decadent. Incredibly rich & flavourful dishes like the ceviche. Unfortunately, the service was not great, from being completely ignored, forgetting order, to not even getting plates or utensils.
That being said, the staff is friendly, just very, very unorganized.
