Arriba Burrito offers a lively Mexican dining experience with generous portions and standout items like birria and ribeye steak tacos, nachos, and a brunch lineup that includes French toast and creme brulee pancakes. The atmosphere is festive and social, often with a DJ and colorful decor, though the space can feel crowded and the music loud, making conversation tricky. The food typically earns praise for authentic flavors and thoughtful presentation, with crowd favorites like birria and al pastor tacos, abundant nachos, and rich sauces, while a few dishes feel oily or underwhelming for the price. Service ranges from exceptional and friendly to slower and occasionally disorganized, with staff generally accommodating dietary needs but some reviews noting miscommunications and missed items. Prices come up as a point of contention; some find the food worth the cost and portions generous, while others feel the bills are steep for the value or the drinks overpriced. Overall, Arriba Burrito is described as a memorable, enjoyable spot with strong food and drinks and a vibrant vibe, best enjoyed with reservations and a tolerance for a bustling, loud setting.
expérience catastrophique: nous étions 4 & avons commandé 1 entrée à partager + 4 plats:
- 40 min d'attente entre la réception du premier plat & le dernier (nous avons chacun mangé en décalé, sympa de se regarder manger)
- l'entrée à partager est arrivée au milieu des plats
- les plats sont arrivés froids (meme ceux en retard oui)
- plusieurs erreurs dans la commande (mauvaise viande, mauvais plat, plat renvoyé en cuisine car présence de coriandre alors que l'on avait précisé l'allergie & re-attente de 20 min pour avoir le nouveau)
- un long cheveu retrouvé dans un burrito
- vaisselle sale
- aucune excuse pour le repas catastrophique, aucun geste commercial
n'y allez pas

The food here is excellent, but unfortunately the service doesn't match the quality of the kitchen.
When we arrived, the front-of-house staff seemed annoyed to see us come into the restaurant, even though it was still three hours before closing. We were three people & each ordered a drink, yet we waited 35 minutes to receive them, despite the restaurant not being busy. The cocktails were extremely sweet & one was sent back. The waitress still charged for the one we sent back but we refused to pay for something that we didn't consume. There was no apology for the long wait or anything.
It's disappointing because the cuisine is truly great, but this experience makes it hard to want to return.
The restaurant itself is cool. Authentic Mexican with dark interior, loud music. It was crowded & seating was Very tight squeeze. The birria taco was the star of this meal, the flambe pancake was fun & very'social media' forward, but wasn't very tasty. The staff were nice but when it came to settling the bill, they took entirely too long. Overall, it's a fun, trendy spot thats great for younger crowd & we're glad we got to experience it.
Not the cheapest Mexican place around but for a reason : the quality is pretty good & you get tortillas chips with guac with your plate. Honestly I quite enjoyed my meal & the mexican culture atmosphere. Maybe the music was a little loud for my liking & the service not the most attentive, but it wasn't bad either. I'll be back.
My boyfriend & I visited this restaurant for Valentine's day, & it was such a nice restaurant! We ordered a daiquiri & a litchi sour (4.5/5) as drinks, then a burrito & birria tacos (5/5). The tacos were so crunchy & delicious! The only thing I wish was different is the seating: we felt pretty crammed next to the enterance, despite the other available tables behind us. Overall though, we had a fun night there!
Honest review. The serves an are lovely, Both of them were very kind. Food was good/ not the best but good. The big isssue, there was all u can drink mimosas, they stop u at a point which is understandable but the owner said'people aren't able to walk out of here': we weren't even that drunk yet, & then the servers (who r rly amazing) hands me a phone for him to talk to me regarding me saying it's all u can't drink. I refused to talk to him cz im tryna enjoy my time. Then he calls me & privately on my phone which is very weird: anyway the restaurant is nice, serves were amazing. The boss is just very odd & made it less likely to wanna come back. But I really wanna say god bless the servers they were both so nice, & I hope they're boss give them less of a hard time.
Petite fin de soirée tranquille avec une collègue de travail un lundi soir. Les tacos El Pastor sont savoureux avec ingrédients frais & de qualité. J'ai pris le cocktail Maracuzcal car j'apprécie le Mezcal & c'était très bien balancé, fruité acidulé & goûteux. Ma collègue a demandé une version de Pina Colada sans alcool & c'était incroyablement goûteux, crémeux avec des morceaux de coconut. Un vrai cocktail dessert!
Amazing birria tacos!
The broth is rich & flavourful, the tortillas are good, & the beef is extremely tender. The side of chips & guacamole were a nice touch. Service was very fast, however the tables are very close to each other which makes the seating a bit cramped & uncomfortable. We will certainly be back!

Hypé par les réseaux sociaux. La nourriture était moyenne. Le service était très lent (1h pour recevoir notre plat au brunch). Nous avons dû tout demander: couvert, serviettes, facture…
