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.
Yo this place served MY ENTIRE SCHOOL (albeit we are 50 people) & the food was suuuper fresh & very very very VERY yummy. Try the veggie burrito. I don't think my water cup was empty for more then 2 minutes & MIND YOU I'm sitting in the middle of like 36 people really close to a wall so I mean give the women who's a waiter here a hug for putting up with our crazy antics 😔✊🏻. Anywho the ambiance was beautiful & probably way nicer without a bunch of crazy high school students. Peace & love & all that.
Food was absolutely delicious, birria tacos were generously filled with so much meat & cheese & the little side of chips with guacamole, pico & sour cream were soooo good! That being said, the service & atmosphere almost overshadowed it. My fiancé & I walked in with reservation & was immediately sat, however at a busy restaurant with most tables filled, they only had 2 waiter/waitress & a busser. Shortly after we were sat, the waitress left, leaving just the waiter & the busser. Our food came out at a decent time, as our plates were collected he asked if we wanted dessert. We said no, just the check. He said okay & left. Over 30 minutes later after watching him deliver other tables checks & completely over looking us, we finally got his attention & we got the check. On top of that, the seats were so so so close together I would watch people uncomfortably try to make it work when others sat behind them. Would suggest for dine out, but not dining in.

Staff is really nice & helpful. The drinks are to die for, the horchata cocktail tastes exactly like horchata but for grown ups & the maracuya colada is so refreshing. We had the nachos, the birria tacos & two churros everything was flavorful & tasty.
Une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de cuisine mexicaine ! Les mets étaient goûteux, frais & remplis de saveurs : les birria tacos & ribeye tacos fondaient en bouche, tandis que les churros au dulce de leche apportaient une touche sucrée irrésistible.
Mention spéciale pour la guacamole, absolument spectaculaire, onctueuse & savoureuse !
Côté cocktails, la margarita mangue, la margarita fruit de la passion & le cocktail hibiscus ont sublimé l'expérience avec des notes rafraîchissantes & équilibrées.

The wait for a table was disgustingly long, especially when the table was sitting empty during our whole wait.
Having said that, the waiters were amazing & had great energy. I think it's just up to the owners to hire more staff because there were 2 waiters manning 17 tables! So they gave every table so little of their time & were always in a hurry.
Food was delish but also.. nothing to wait super long for. I feel like this same quality (which is great) can be found at one of those local taco spots with no tables.
The two people dining with me really LOVED their margaritas so I think it's worth it.
The food was amazing. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The place was packed, with good music. A little loud to my liking but with the great atmosphere of this place, I'm not even complaining. Like that they have pitchers of cocktails.
I would definitely go there again.
Amazing amazing amazing! ?t was a perfect experience. Excellent service, excellent music, & hit all of our taste buds just perfect to leave us in the best mood possible.
