Arriba is a recently opened Mexican fast food restaurant which has rapidly become popular, especially with the yuppie crowd (as far as I observed) and American expats craving for their Tex-Mex fix. The food is very nice – maybe not up to what you’d get in Mexico or some parts of the U.S. (I wouldn’t really know), but certainly the best I or my American friends have ever had in Budapest. The place operates on the same “pick your own components” system as, say, Subway: you choose the base for you taco or burrito, the type of meat, and hand pick from a selection of various sauces, spices and veggies. The food is accompanied by a very nice selection of drinks, including Horchata (rice milk with cinnamon), Margarita, and various Mexican beers you can only get in maybe two or three places in Budapest. While Taquerias are traditionally takeaways, Arriba also has plenty of seating on two levels. It’s a delightful place to sit down for you meal, with warm, colourful tables and adorable „faux kitsch” murals that really add to the upbeat vibe. Just be aware that the place can get quite crowded, and you might have no option but to take away your order and eat it elsewhere. Personally, I’ve had good luck so far late in the evening and just after lunchtime. Details about this spot (Show on map).jpg)

I simply had to say thanks yet again. I do not know what I would have worked on in the absence of those recommendations revealed by you directly on such industry. It was a very intimidating dilemma in my view, however , spending time with your specialised way you resolved the issue forced me to weep for joy. I am just happy for this guidance and even pray you recognize what a great job you were accomplishing instructing the rest with the aid of your blog post. I am certain you’ve never encountered all of us.
One of the best fast food restaurants in the city.
This is the best Tex-Mex restaurant I found this side of Texas! Truly a must try, fresh food, great service, fair price….Atmosphere hip and happening. I look forward to my next visit soon…
Very fun atmosphere but a bit expensive for my taste. The burritos were slightly above average but definitely filling and they make sure that you won’t have to eat again for a long time. Also the horchata is amazing. Make sure you get a large one and savor the flavor.
this is by far one of my favourite places to eat in budapest. i know, i move to budapest to eat mexican, but seriously it has a great vibe and always a great crowd. it’s hard to choose exactly what i want on my quesadillas but it’s always delicious and fast!
Indeed.
Having tasted Arriba’s finest this past November as well and trying not to (dare) compare it to Chipotle, Qdoba, or any other similar outfit stateside, I would have to say that the tortillas are amazingly fresh and the guacamole, yes, you read that correctly, guac! in Budapest, was simply delightful. Chips for dipping into the guac or your favorite salsa were also made-to-order-crunchy and lightly salted.
Muchas gracias es koszonom szepen!
