Frutiland La Casa Del Sabor — Restaurant in Arroyo Grande

It was late on a friday and NOTHING for miles open in the area, and on top of that I was on the verge of a blood sugar crash. I love good tacos and supporting small businesses so gave this a shot. We were told "we only have tacos right now and only these 2 kinds of meat", not a problem for me given the hour and my situation. So we ordered 8 tacos al pastor. I went to wait in the car bc I was feeling faint and cold, husband waited OUTSIDE in the rain for our order to be called. Later he would tell me that the people there would look back at him while they were talking and start laughing, a large group of people came after us and got their food before us (I'm hoping because they must have called in their order). We finally get our food and the man seems nice enough wishing us a pleasant evening.

We go back to the hotel to eat finally (nearly midnight by this point) only to find that our tacos seemed to consist of alimy pork fat chunks with barely any edible meat! I hate food waste and am the kind of person that will tey to finiah my food even if I'm not a fan. I desperately ate a couple tacos to help my blood sugar, but nearly lost it bc of the texture. It was like being served scraps that my DOG wouldn't even eat, and we paid over $30 for those stupid things. OUTRAGEOUS. I want to give the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't just because we are light complected and don't speak spanish well to know what all the names of the meat meant. (We googled it to make sure we knew what we should be getting) On top of all of that, it stank like cat piss throughout the entire parking lot and not even going in the car helped! I suppose a good way to keep the limited outdoor seating clear but yeesh...

I was very disappointed in the standards of this establishment. I would rather be told "sorry, I know you've been waiting but that group placed an order before you that took up the rest of what we have" and refunded than to sift through and choke down slime and feel like the...

Terrible service! Food is good but not good enough to how they treat customers! I never had a problem with there service until today, Always go there but I’m never coming back after today. I ordered a torta the lady taking the order rolled her eyes at me and said it was going to be $20.90 and oh I only want one while give her my card, and she rudely looked up at me and said no $20.90. I told her well it saids $12.00 on the sign, and she rolled her eyes and said again $20.90 I told her never mind I don’t want it anymore, I’m not paying 20 dollars for a sandwich. she gave me my card but she already processed the payment. I went back to tell her and she said wait a couple hours it should be put back into your account, and I asked her why she told me $20.90 If it was $12.90 and to just give me the torta to not deal with the refund or how ever they do it She rolled her eyes again and I just walked away and she said “ahi dios mio esta gente” WORSE SERVICE I’ve ever had! I will be back tomorrow If I don’t get my refund by tonight. DO NOT EAT HERE. They get mad if you place a order. I should of known after she rolled her eyes In annoyance when I first placed it. I was the only customer there, she was upset because a customer came in and gave...

Stopped in for an early lunch after reading raves about the establishment on the Internet. We were first in line and ordered two taco plates, a child’s quesadilla plate, and a pina colada. Total came to $73.01 after tip. We placed our order at 11:13 and didn’t receive or order until 11:34. During that 21 minutes, a group of six gentlemen ordered and another female ordered and all received their food before us. Apparently, the buzzer was not working, but oddly enough we saw another couple get their food delivered to the patio by a waitress after we finally went to get our own. Perhaps this was an oversight or simply a single instance of bad service. I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it deserves to be stated to assist the proprietor to with constructive criticism for improvement.

That being said, everything was incredibly delicious. Everything blew us away with size and flavor. One of their tacos is the size of three street tacos everywhere else. Incredible flavor as well.

One last thing, they need to update their sign. The prices they have posted are not the prices we paid. They weren’t so disparagingly different worth a complaint, but for legal purposes, they need to update their...
