“ This place is amazing, I got married today and we refused a table for 10 at Ajo Al's when we arrived at Arribas they took us right in no fuss at all even with other tables of 5 or more seated before us. There was 5 minute wait for the awesome staff to seat up the table. The food tasted great and the margaritas tasted great too. ”

“ Arriba's is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. Love the bean dip. It's just been a little to spicy for me to eat. Taco salad is really good, as is the White Sands item my husband gets. ”
“ Full of atmosphere with excellent food and superb service ... can’t wait to go again. ”
“ UPDATE: Despite my initial inclination to downgrade my overall rating from 5 stars to 4 stars due to the slow service provided by two employees at the bar on different days, I have decided to maintain my rating at 5 stars. My recent experience last Friday changed my opinion significantly. On that day, the presence of two exceptionally efficient and organized bartenders, Abby and Oneidra, left a lasting impression on me. Their synchronized teamwork and speedy service were truly impressive. These two individuals have reinstated my faith in this restaurant, and I look forward to future visits thanks to their outstanding service. What an absolute transformation since my last visit five years ago! I had sworn I'd never set foot in this place again, but I'm thrilled to report that everything has changed for the better. From the moment we stepped through the door, Alyssa and Jazmin, greeted us with genuine warmth and made us feel like cherished patrons. Their exceptional customer service set the tone for the entire evening. We opted to sit at the bar area, where Joaquin skillfully crafted a frozen strawberry margarita that surpassed my previous favorite from another Mexican restaurant. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was impeccable. From that moment, this establishment instantly claimed the top spot for margaritas in my book. And let's not forget to mention their fantastic happy hour, which runs from 3pm to 7pm every Monday Thru Friday. But the pleasant surprises didn't end there. The food experience was equally remarkable. The quality of the dishes was outstanding. Each bite was bursting with authentic flavors and made with fresh ingredients. The culinary team had truly elevated their game, and it showed in every dish we ordered. Overall, my return to this restaurant was nothing short of a revelation. The warm welcome from Alyssa, Jazmin, and Joaquin, coupled with the outstanding margaritas and delectable food, completely transformed my perception. This place has now become a go-to spot for me, and I can't wait to return and explore more of their culinary delights. ”
“ We went here for Father’s Day and the food was delicious! We got something that was too spicy and we exchanged it for something else without issue! My 11 month old definitely approved of the cheese crisp ”
