Arriba Burrito (Express) Plateau-Mont-Royal. in Montreal

The food is horrible but the inhumane treatment of its workers is even more horrible. From experience and from several acquaintances, I know from good sources the labor exploitation that ALL of its staff suffer, from Mrs. Gabriela, with working days of more than 12 hours without letting them eat. In not a single moment, it seems unheard of to me that a first world country brings its current third world customs

I had already noticed a drop in quality in recent months, but this time it is confirmed. During our last takeout order, the chips and guacamole were missing, and the ingredients in the burritos werent even the right ones. The service was very long as usual, but first it was worth the wait because the burritos were delicious. Now there is no point in waiting 20 minutes for a bland burrito (while we were the only customers). Its really disappointing.

Bad service

In the best burritos Ive ever eaten in my life. Its tasty.

Best burrito Ive ever eaten!!

I love my experience in this authentic Mexican restaurant. The food and the staff were very pleasant and the service was wonderful if there were 6 stars I would have given them. Recommend to anyone who wants to have a truly authentic culinary experience

Burritos and tacos rather good.

Its good but it takes forever to get your drinks. Im not sure I understand why the food arrives before the drinks, and whats complicated about getting them from a fridge...

The burritos are huge and so delicious

Excellent service and a warm atmosphere to enjoy with the family, with a variety of Mexican foods for different types of palates.

Wow

The food was amazing and the service above and beyond

Very warm welcome, Good food.

I had a great experience today. The food was delicious and the drinks were a good size and so good. Good music and vibe

Truly the best empanadas I have ever eaten!! And the tacos were so excellent. A word; WOW

Grilled chicken bowl, fatty, lots of oil, and it stings. The chicken was bathed in a fluorescent orange marinade. Too bad: I order grilled chicken, I was expecting grilled chicken

Does not taste like real Mexican flavour. It is like a mashup of white washed Mexican. It was still good, but was looking for the real Mexican deal. Food

Fast and great service.

Amazing tacos & margs and great service! Highly recommend

I dont understand the reviews exclaiming authentic Mexican food. The tacos were made with white flour, not corn tortillas. Nor were corn tortillas an option . I ordered the combo tacos (chicken, beef, pork) and a tofu bowl. Both were favorless. I drank a bottle and a half of water throughout the night. It was probably because it was too salty or something

Delicious tacos are a little bit expensive, but they are worth it!

Excellent ! The burrito is hearty, very tasty, I have never eaten a burrito as good as here, really! The staff is very welcoming At the top thank you :)

I order from this place at least 3 times a month. For the past few months the quality of food starting degrading.. today I decided never to order again.. The burrito was soggy with oil and I asked for guacamole inside but they didn t put it. Also they always provide guacamole with the nachos but they just gave me 6 pieces of nachos and no guacamole. So sad to see my favorite restaurant degrading..

Amazing food, but very slow service (including simply never getting one of the meals we ordered, but they comped it).

Absolutely delicious. Had the barbacoa burrito and loved it! Quick, nice portion, easy to order with the computer!

Fantastic little place with amazing food. I tired the Birria Tacos for a take out lunch and they were heavenly. Friendly staff and lovely decor. Im definitely coming back for more.

Very small, only 2 tables and about 6 seats at bar stools. $32 for a chimichanga and Jarritos. Had to ask for them to open the Jarritos and for utensils and both were slow to happen. Music loud. More of a carry out place I guess won t return.

Heres the updated review: Disappointing Fiesta at Ariba Im still trying to figure out how a Mexican restaurant can go so wrong. Ariba had all the right ingredients, but somehow managed to turn them into a flavorless, uninspired mess. The tacos were the biggest letdown. Dry, tasteless beef, all wrapped in a stale tortilla. The signature salsa tasted like it came straight from a jar, and the guacamole was an unappetizing shade of brown. But the real kicker was the price tag. Ariba is charging an outrageous $30-$40 for a few tiny tacos and a small side of chips. Its like theyre trying to rob you blind. The service was friendly, but slow and disorganized. Our server seemed to disappear for long stretches of time, leaving us to wonder if wed been forgotten. Overall, Ariba was a disappointing and unauthentic Mexican dining experience. With so many other great options out there, I wouldnt recommend wasting your time or money here. Rating: 1/5 stars Price: Expensive ($30-$40 entree range for tiny portions) Recommendation: If youre craving real Mexican flavor and dont want to break the bank, keep looking. Ariba is a pricey disappointment.

Best burritos in town !!!

Amazing. Best burrito I ve eaten in Montreal! For the price of $16 you get authentic cuisine, fresh flavors and excellent service. The Beef burrito is AMAZING! I VERY highly recommend this place!

I ate there last night, and it was horrible, I recommend it to anyone. Supper poorly organized and food much too expensive for those who give it. You dont get what you order EVER!!!!

Very delicious food. Very authentic Mexican .love it

Best burrito in Montreal! Great customer service, and even better food. We loved it; tried the beef barbacoa, the shrimp taco, and the chili. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian choices instead of the meat Kid-friendliness: Really nice to our boy who wasn t sure about it.

Delicious food

They have two vegetarian options for the burrito! We love this burrito, best burrito in Plateau for sure! Also, the service is very nice! We come here often!

Best burritos I had so far. We had Grilled chicken burrito. The guacamole is smooth, creamy and delicious. The chicken is saucy, fresh and flavourful.

Overpriced simply

Friendly service but very busy. Fantastic flavors with genuine Mexican flare. Maybe a tad pricey.

Very good food for a reasonable price.

Great authentic tacos!!! Try al pastor and cochinita. Quesadillas are perfect for kids.

The worst place ever, I have seen the way they treat their employees. The owners keep their tips, they are underpaid, they trash talk about people, and as for the food is over priced and it aint worth it. Look for any other thing.

Great Mexican restaurant ! I had the nachos and my girlfriend had the tacos. The food was amazing. I will definitely be coming back. Staff was welcoming too.

best mexican place i ve tried in montreal!!! i had the vege tacos and they were delicious!

Best burrito in town!

Order placed for delivery. 2 alembra burritos and 2 sodas. At the first bite I knew something was wrong. Then upon looking, the chicken was not cooked!! In terms of compliance with health standards, we will come back! Very disappointed and disgusted. Oh and they got our drinks wrong and delivered us a soda that we dont drink. All for $60 on ubereats! I do not recommend Edit April 6, 2023: I contacted the restaurant who were very professional, apologized and offered to reorder us. I accepted and this time in the burrito there was a label! Yes a piece of paper! (See photo 2) 2nd chance and second failure! Disappointed and definitely not recommended.

Not only is there food AMAZING the people who work there (and the st Denis location) are so nice! I was having a hard day and the woman who worked there came out and gave me such a lovely hug, words of encouragement, and even gave me my food for free. And even with out the amazing staff it s still the best Mexican food in Montreal

Adorable vibes and an ok burrito

super delicious

Delicious

Excellent and authentic food! Fast service. Friendly staff, especially Angie who has a wonderful smile!

Best tacos and burritos in the city. Home made, authentic and fresh ingredients.

I come with my family and we cant find a better place to be together. The food is simply delicious, and the service is very good.

The beef bbq burrito was good, but the place needs to be cleaner...

Great food and great people working here

Had an absolutely fantastic grilled chicken burrito here. Very tasty, had a nice kick to it, great beans, and really enjoyed the pineapple and corn they offered as fillings. A bit expensive maybe but to me definitely worth it!

Come eat here it is PERFECT! Burrito is truly top tier

Excellent

staff is really super nice and so is the owner. The food however is not more than mediocre, and the time it took with only 3 customers before us was quite long (was there maybe 30 mins).

Excellent, sabor Latino

Restaurant très bien placé ! Les serveuses sont très gentilles et souriantes. Les burritos sont excellents. Bien garnis et très savoureux. Ils sont servis avec des petits nachos et du guacamole. Nous avons pris à emporter et notre commande était très bien emballée, les burritos étaient encore chauds (20 minutes de marche). Petite préférence pour la sauce piquante. A tester !

Nice burrito joint, great flavours and friendly staff. A little on the pricey side

Authentic cuisine, best burritos in Montreal. There are a minimum of tables for eating on site. Friendly service, fresh quality products.

The place and food are okay. But the price... it is just not possible. Its far too expensive. (I know all Mont-Royal street prices are skyrocketing but still.)

Food tastes good but service is unbelievably slow. There were 2 clients in the restaurant including us and there were a total of 3 burritos to make for everyone and it somehow took 15 minutes to get our burrito. They could probably make 10 times more money if they tried to be a bit faster.

Excellent food!

to avoid having this restaurant deliver you the waiting time is really excessive, very looong support

Poor service, ignorance of service...

Service lent

I love Mexican food, and Im firmly aware of the stereotype that its dirty or gives you diharea. Thats why im really sad in writing this review. I loved the food, loved the service. the waiter was super nice and we got our food quickly. it was delicious. However, earlier in the evening, I noticed neither of our glasses were clean. Mine had dishwasher streaks and my boyfriends had lip marks on it. I didnt want to be troublesome so I didnt say anything. Later that night, my boyfriend and I threw up a lot and had to sleep the rest of the following day. Usually, I wouldnt assume it was the restaurant, but since we both ate and shared the same meal, and had the exact symptoms at the same time, its the most likely conclusion. Anyways, Its a great restaurant and judging by all these wonderful reviews, this doesnt happen often.

Amazing food and service!

Never disappointed, hearty and tasty meal!

Best burritos in town

Margaritas were delish! Server was super kind and helpful

You must teach your employees to respect Uber Eats delivery people. We are not slaves.

Great food and great service!

Great food. Excellent service.

It was solid

Food is great, flavour on point, employees are polite.

Very friendly staff. Big portion! Amazing taste! My favourite Mexican spot in MTL!

Good but get ready to wait 20min for a burrito

Had the best burrito I ve ever had. The service was excellent, staff was extremely friendly and attentive. If you re looking for excellent Mexican food you won t be disappointed.

Delicious menu with authentic Mexican food + drinks with real fruit! We also received great advice on the menu. Thank you for the great welcome and the beautiful atmosphere! (Plus the place is super cute: music, brick walls, flowers, decor..!) Enjoy your food!

Had high expectations for this place, but my dinner was disappointing: 30$ nachos (?!) with a tablespoon of guac, nearly no condiments and cheese that was melted in the microwave then added to my chips. Barbacoa was good though!

Very bad experience

Alhambra burrito was alright, not enough seating.

Wow! The best most authentic tacos I ve ever had! I got al pastor tacos, they were so delicious and fresh and generous portion. Great vibe in there, super cute decor, awesome friendly service .Cant wait to come back. Mucho gracias!!!!

Wow! Best tacos in Montreal! We tried 4 different tacos (pulled pork, chicken, el pastor, cochinita), and honestly they are all delicious. I cant choose my favorite... And Gabriella and Hector welcomed us and served us so well, thank you very much for this warm welcome. For authentic Mexican, Arriba muchacho!

Great service, great food! The best tacos Ive ever eaten

Best burrito in all of Montreal

Great customer service and the burrito was great!

Good taste, with authentic Mexican sauces. A little bit overpriced but for a family business it s fair enough. You get satisfied definitely.

Not very good, questionable aftertaste and definitely not the best in Montreal! Maybe a bad batch...

Seriously, the best Mexican restaurant Ive ever been to! Super awesome and kind service, pardon the expression but every bite was an orgasm!! So excited to go back

The burrito itself is just average. Nothing really wrong with it except the meat was bland and not flavourful. The price is basically $20 for a burrito, which is a lot for what you get. In this day and age, it doesnt reflect the neighbourhood nor the city. While I empathize with running a business, the business still has to price products proportional to most peoples salaries. Like so many places these days, this just isnt it.

Excellent food and very nice terrace in the back! I recommend it to you

I came from far away and you dont even bother to change your times on google :(

Had a burrito bowl, super delicious! It was a bit on the pricier side though. Will still visit again :)

The excellent service and their hottest sauce is also excellent, my new Mexican food spot for the summer!

Good but expensive burritos.

Best Burritos around! Next time Ill try the tacos! I recommend

Solid Mexican food for Canada, good Sonoran style ingredients and sauces. Go for the picante it s not nearly as hot as I m accustomed to.

Super delicious food!!!!

Very good burrito and very friendly service!

Excellent. Authentic Mexican. One of the best I ve ever had.

Very qualitative!

I used to be a fan of this restaurant but not anymore. lately they have increased their prices so much that is not worth it. Quesadillas-vege for $25, are you kidding me?? Tasty food but not worth the price

A little old but very good

Cozy place with authentic mexican food. Family-owned and run. They go above and beyond in customer service. Tried enchiladas verdes and a burrito bowl . Would def recommend!

Arguably the best burrito in the city. Very filling and just plain good. Only downside is If its busy, expect a wait for your food. Vegetarian options: Plenty of variety for vegetarians. Pick your own fillings.

Really very good, authentic but the price is accordingly!

I ordered the braised beef burrito and it was succulent. Full of flavours, authentic and very filling. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious! Real Mexican food prepared with love and care, and you can taste it in every ingredient. Highly recommend! El mejor burrito que he comido en Montreal, seguro!

Great al pastor burrito!

Worst burrito Ive ever eaten, the waiter ordered the wrong thing. After asking for a burrito without cilantro and with grilled chicken, I received one with pulled pork stuffed with cilantro! But after 40 minutes of waiting, I didnt feel like returning it and ultimately having to wait more than an hour to eat. I was sick the next day. We also saw a rat come out from under the terrace. I will never set foot in this restaurant again!

Warm place, beautiful terrace, excellent meal!

I think that says it all, I ate my 6 tacos without even photographing them! So delicious and great service! Excellent place to recommend all! Wheelchair accessibility: Just a walk outside!

Busy busy. Two persons allowed inside only at the moment

Excellent

Taste so good. Keep it up.

Well I came the first time with 3 of my friends, we were warmly welcomed and then food was more than amazing, generous and authentic. 5 stars for food and service !

Best burrito in town! Everything is fresh and all the meat is heated on the stove not in microwave like other restaurants.

Easily the best burrito I ve had in Montreal. Amazing.

so delicious, nicest staff, my stomach is filled and i am very happy

Too much too good

This was the best burrito Ive ever had. Theres a reason as to why theres so many positive reviews of this place. The burrito is well wrapped, balanced, and made with the most delicious ingredients. The chips were fresh and crispy, it was probably the highlight of the meal. They use sustainable packaging as well. I would highly recommend this place!

Great(!) food and delightful staff at both locations. Perhaps a little more expensive than some of the competitors, but well worth it.

Easily one of the best burritos here. The meat was decadent. The jalapeños as well as the pickled onions were fresh and homemade. The chips were really tasty in addition to the guacamole. In short 10/10 I recommend

I ordered a chips and guacamole , never seen a guacamole that small

Its not cheap to eat a good burrito but we really get what we pay for and what were hungry for. The burritos are really excellent and very, very filling. The barbacoa is divine. The tacos are also very good and the quesadillas plump and tasty. The burrito since comes with a bag of excellent tortilla chips and guacamole. The service is also pleasant and the staff friendly, you have the impression of being with them in their back kitchen. It is an essential place that tastes of Mexico. Thank you for existing

The tastiest quesadillas in Montreal, highly recommended.

The best burritos in town!

Canceled two of my orders (both locations) in the space of one week on the Uber Eats app over 15 minutes after starting preparing it. Get off the app if youre not going to fulfill orders.

DELICIOUS!

Its a very good restaurant with great food. The plates are big and you will be full after eating there. Service is very good and friendly and one thing that I like a lot about the place, is that you can also buy certain Mexican snacks that they bring. Highly recommended!

The waiter was super nice and accommodating of dietary restrictions and also the drinks are strong enough to be worth it overall slapper tysm

Came to Montreal and took some clients out for lunch. They loved this amazing Mexican restaurant. Great food, service and closed some deals. Definitely worth the trip from Ottawa!

Poor oral management

Nothing to add to the other comments! I can only say that yes, they are right, it was indeed the best burrito of my life. Wow. Its the kind of restaurant where youre almost reluctant to post a good review for fear that it will make you wait longer for your meal next time :)

The best burritos in town

Worst guacamole I ve ever had. Didn t taste like avocado, just watered down garlic. Burrito bowl was okay though.

Super mega bonus

Great restaurant where you can create your own burritos! Always very friendly service, with music and a smile :) Special mention for the al pastor meat, a delight!

This place is the bomb, try their steak burrito

prices have gone up big time, but its worth it for the kind of authentic amazing tasting food you get!

Excellent burrito and taco, the staff is great. It s clearly made with love, passion and knowledge of Mexican food. THANKS!

The burritos are excellent, as is the service. They are very smiling and welcoming

Excellent, the best!!!

The taste is there and the portions too. The problem is they ask if you want certain toppings without mentioning they re extras and you end up with a bill 8$ higher than you excepted!!! Just tell your clients or write what toppings are extras on your menu. Also, 2$ extra for a mini spoon of guacamole ? Seriously ? Just go to Tejano Bbq, you won t get scammed like this

Good food. Lively. Good service.

Excellent burritos but beware of opening hours they can change at the last minute. Damage...

Authentic tacos! The muncho bueno! And really good too!

Been here so many times, never disappointed. Always get the tofu vege. The decor is really cute.

Best Burrito in Montreal.

What a great surprise!

very good and very well received

Best nachos Ive ever had in my life, I love nachos. Great daiquiri too

Really delicious and made with love. But it definitely should not be markerd with only one $ , its pretty expensive. Paid 40$ for one burrito and 3 small tacos.

Awesome food, amazing service

The flavor of the tacos, the totopos, the sauce and the drink, a sangria, was very good. The service from a young and friendly Indian speaking Spanish was also very good. I wish you success in your business.

This place is amazing. It s small and isn t open often these days due to the pandemic I presume but the food is fantastic, made by what seems to be a mom and pop type arrangement. Great great food. Delivery doesn t do it justice, recommend walking in or picking up.

10/10 every time!

By far the best burrito in Montreal!

Had a great experience and the burritos were quite tasty and filling.

The food is excellent!

Great authentic tacos and burritos

damn good

Recommended, it has a terrace in summer, there is no table service and its price is just the right amount and flavor of good burritos and tacos. They dont sell beer. Recommended. Service in Spanish.

The best Mexican food ive had in Montreal.

The food is amazing and the staff is very nice! 100/10

The best burritos Ive ever eaten in decades. These girls know their stuff. Plus they clearly love what they do. They also sell classic Mexican snacks, which are the bomb. Please do yourself a favor and go get fed over there.

First time I went this was the best burrito I had ever had. But this second time I can only give it a 3/5. My meat was microwaved in front of me and the prices have been raised. It was still okay but not the same experience as I had the first time this summer and I am sad
