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.
Amazing service! We loved Karan - he was so helpful. Highly recommended the birira tacos, enchiladas, & the French toast. The tiramisu espresso martini is also amazing. They really cater to your dietary restrictions even for a big group which is awesome. Loved the experience! Would definitely come back again in a heartbeat!!!
Love the food & the vibe! We really enjoyed the Birria tacos & the Al Pastor tacos. Servers were very friendly, but my only complaint is about the timing of the food. My bf received his dish about a few minutes before mine came out & it seems this was happening at quite a few tables. Not great given your dish starts getting cold while waiting for the others to arrive, but other than that, we had a great time & will be back!

We had such a lovely time at Arriba Burrito! The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, fresh, & satisfying. There was a bit of a mix-up with our order & a slight delay, but honestly, we didn't even mind because we were having such a great time enjoying the atmosphere.
To our surprise, the owner personally came out to apologize for the mix-up. We weren't upset at all, but the gesture meant a lot. It showed how much they care about their customers & the experience they provide. That kind of personal touch is rare & really appreciated.
Overall, the service was warm & attentive, & the food was more than worth the wait. We'll definitely be coming back & bringing friends with us! Highly recommend. 🌯🌟
The food there is amazing! You get quality pieces of meat, of fish & everything else, for the price.

- Rib Eye Steak Fajitas
- Grilled Octopus
- Tacos (especially the Birria & Al Pastor)

What an amazing restaurant with an amazing staff & even better food! We went for my boyfriend's birthday dinner & we all had an unforgettable night. Karan made sure we were all good & he made sure we had a good time. We can't wait to come back & we recommend it to everyone!
I had a girls' night here a few weeks a go & it was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious with a truly authentic touch, & the margaritas were spot-on. The overall vibe of the restaurant was fun & perfect for a night out. To top it all off, our server Karan was amazing he really made the evening extra special.
Vraiment le fun! On est allés avec mon chum pendant le spectacle de cirque sur st-denis! C'était incroyable, la bouff est bonne, le nachos c'est une grosse portion! Il y a beaucoup d'options végé! Le service était super bon aussi.
I stopped by Arriba Burrito in Montreal for brunch & was pleasantly surprised - especially since it's more known for its Mexican fare. I decided to try something on the sweeter side & ordered the Nutella pancake, & wow… it did not disappoint!
The pancake was soft, warm, & generously layered with creamy Nutella. It had that perfect mix of indulgent & comforting - a great choice if you're craving something sweet for brunch. The portion was just right, & it came out fresh & beautifully presented.
The atmosphere was casual & relaxed, perfect for a laid-back weekend brunch. Service was friendly, & even though I went in for something different than their usual burrito options, I felt totally welcomed.
✅ Cozy brunch spot
✅ Friendly staff
✅ Delicious Nutella pancake - perfect for sweet tooth cravings
✅ Fast service & clean setting
A nice hidden gem if you're looking for a chill spot with sweet brunch options. I'll be back to try their savory menu next time!
My first Time here , I enjoyed every meal. I got the ceviche as a main dish as I was not that hungry. It was enough great portion for 1. & delisious. Maracuzcal & I was not disappointed.
