Update: Since the acai bowl was decent, we returned solely for the acai bowl AND. LET. ME. TELL. YOU. BEWARE!!! The female associate with the green hair does not wash her hands before food preparation. I witnessed her moving around the kitchen, answering phone calls, touching the phone, opening cabinets and refrigerators, and not once did she wash her hands before cutting up fruit with her bare hands. No gloves. Nothing. It's bad enough food service does not require employees to wear masks now, but we have to question hand washing now, too. They were so busy I just had to walk out. I will be making a complaint directly to management.
If you plan on ordering a ham torta, prepare yourself to receive a veggie torta. There was literally a slice and a half of deli ham on my torta. To make it even more veggie and disappointing, the menu says the torta comes with sliced cheese but there was no cheese to be found.
Come on Fruta’s. It’s a shame when you increase your prices but decrease the portions. Sure, the length of your torta is sufficient but when I order a ham torta, I’d like to be able to taste the meat and cheese. I might as well have picked up some bolillos and veggies from Northgate.
On to the chawatermelon. I could not drink this. It tasted like pure chamoy. The chawatermelon is now a “chachamoy.” $8.00 down the drain along with the drink.
One star because they’ve been good in the past and when I ordered online it was ready on time. Another star for the freshness of the avocado and a...
Read moreI have a love and hate relationship with this place.
As far as the negative reviews go, they're ALL true! All of them. Service is slow and the women at the front counter could really use an attitude adjustment. Their aloofness is off-putting, but the food is so good that you find a way to get over it.
My order is always the same: a turkey torta and strawberry smoothie. From time to time I'll order a fruit salad or a flan to share with my mom. I tried going out of my comfort zone once and ordered a torta de lomo, but it wasn't my favorite. Turkey for life!
The tortas are large and come with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cheese, avocado and your choice of meat. The jalapeños are always spicy, the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted. Yes, it tends to cut the roof of your mouth from time to time, but so does Captain Crunch and no one throws a fit over it. Strawberry smoothies are made with your choice of milk or orange juice and blended with ice.
Fruit salads come with a variety of fruits: melon, grapes, bananas, strawberries, etc. It's topped with a scoop of cottage cheese, raisins, sunflower seeds and honey. And as for the flan, it is thick, rich and creamy. It's definitely one of my favorite places for flan.
Frutas sells a huge variety of healthy food and other Mexican snacks, chips and candy. I will continue to stop by for my usual items, and recommend others to bring some reading material for the wait. Or you can just listen to the Mexican pop music...
Read moreLike a good fruit bowl and great tortas? Here's your place! I tried the veggie soup and I'm not a fan of the recipe, size of the veggies, or all the corn. I'll try the lentil soup next time. Idk if the produce is organic j probably should have checked. The torta had wonderful bread! The fruit bowl came with honey and cottage cheese, raisins, granola, sunflower seeds and I asked for mango in it. The place is busy, so I got there at a good time, early There was a friend young man who spoke English and a friendly woman who gave me a taste of fruit with a sweet sauce on it. Friendly people were there and I'll go again. Work on: I'd maybe make sure the folks helping people can make some suggestions on favorite items to try. I was game and asked but nothing was recommended to me. I'd also reconsider using such a strong smelling cleaner. It smelled if Fabulouso and for a healthy food place, those chemical smells do not belong. There are healthy alternatives. I would also have a place for women to put their purses in the bathroom. I don't want to put it in the diaper changing area. This is not clean. Just put a hook on the door. Otherwise, the ladies have to hold our bag while using the bathroom. Why do we have to do a balancing act? In addition, someone installed the toilet paper dispenser way too low to the ground. Why??? Is this a punishment? Last, it would be nicer if they had a screen to show numbers up instead of shouting orders at people. It made the ambiance...
