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 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).
Accueil chaleureux, serveurs super gentils & toujours souriant. Mais j ai placé ma commande avec dessert pour mes enfants, dessert qu ils n ont pas reçu mais que j ai payé pour & aussi j ai eu un repas super acide à la première bouchée j ai tout laissé & j ai quand même été chargé pour. Tacos poulet pas très fameux.(faite bien la lecture de vos factures)
I recently visited Arriba Burrito & had a mixed experience. The environment is really beautiful & inviting, which made the visit pleasant from the start. Unfortunately, the guacamole wasn't fresh, which was a bit disappointing. When I asked to change my drink because it was too sweet, they simply added some water & brought it back - not quite what I expected. The tacos were decent, not bad but nothing outstanding either. Overall, Arriba Burrito has great potential thanks to its atmosphere, but the food & service could use some improvement.
Customer service was amazing & the atmosphere was a 10! The drinks were really good & at decent prices. The food however was a bit underwhelming.. I was also not a fan of guacamole. But to each their own! :)
Mexican here.
Best chilaquiles we've tried in Québec. Definately a great place to have an authentic Mexican breakfast.
Also the place is pretty cool & cozy.
Service is ok, not bad but not great either.
This is a case of a great social media campaign but the food is just ok. The presentation of the food & beverages is outstanding but the eggs were overcooked & the menu didn't specify the French toast was stuffed with cream cheese which makes it extra soggy & gives it a weird flavor. I the end I paid for a breakfast I could not eat. The restrooms look dirty. The waiter never came to check on us to see if we needed anything or enjoyed our food.
We got there at closing time & they still served us like we were part of the family.i can't say enough good things about this place.we had a 10 on 10 service from the hole team .thank you very much team:)) excellent drinks & tacos 🌮 & the nachos were fantastic can't wait to go again

Just like there are tourist traps, there are'influencer traps': restaurants that look visually appealing on a reel & are the hot new thing getting promoted by all the local social media influencers but aren't really all that special. This is one such place.
We had nachos, tacos & a burrito & none of it tasted all that great. We've had much better at many other places. The tacos were particularly disappointing.
The service was also quite slow despite ample staff. It took forever to get our tacos & burrito to the point where we thought we had been forgotten.
Last note: I asked for hot sauce for my tacos & was given a bottle of lime & chili Cholula... that summed up the evening for me.
Arriba Burrito was made to look good on a social media reel. Not much else. At least the vibe is good...
Really enjoyed this place! Food was really good, but I do feel like it's slightly overhyped. I had the chicken tacos, my boyfriend had the chicken quesadilla, & we split the nachos. While everything was super yummy, I wouldn't say it's the best Mexican food I've ever tried. Slightly too expensive imo, but still worth a try, would probably go back.
KARAN made our first brunch at Montreal a very special experience, came here for my friend's bachelorette & we all had very good time. The food is phenomenal & the vibes are accumulating. Definitely try their french toast, very yummy.
