CITRINA BERRY FRESH — Restaurant in National City

Hi everyone!😁 Yesterday being in the area, I Googled and found this place Citrina. I've seen it before from the outside, but inside is such a cool vibe of a place. I struggled really wanting to give this a 5 🌟, and I think it probably is.... so let me tell the great things.

I ordered a veggie quesadilla and my daughter ordered a Chicken Pesto sandwich on toasted wheat bread. We also had chips and ww split a Dragon Passion fruit drink (with ginger and on other goodies mixed in, I'm sure).

The veggie quesadilla was quite delicious.😋 Enough for me to be full and have leftover. I ordered fresh Avocado with it 🥑(yum!). The Dragon Passion drink was a 10 🌟 . I must admit I like ginger. The mix was balanced and delightful. Next time I go there, I want to try another flavor, just for fun. My daughter's Chicken Pesto sandwich tasted amazing, but the bread was soggy, even if it was toasted.. U think it was just too juicy? That's the only reason for the 4 🌟. I told the girl I would review them. The gal was...

When we visited, it was not very busy inside. We ordered a ginger shot with lemon and cayenne pepper and clearly asked for no turmeric. Not only did we get charged for it without actually receiving it, but when asked about it later, the employee seemed confused and even questioned whether I had ordered it. It was frustrating having to push just to get something I already paid for and the gingershot was pretty much all turmeric!

I also ordered the tropical açaí bowl, which was missing kiwi, one of the main reasons I chose the tropical bowl. When I asked about it, the employee told me it was blended into the açaí, which makes no sense since kiwi was listed as a topping. It honestly felt like they were just trying to cover up a mistake instead of fixing it.

For the price theyre charging, I expected way better service and accuracy. Unfortunately, my first visit here will...

Edit - Worse. Food worse.

Service: Consistently has this rude chick. Which is fine, I go to places for food. I ignore the attitude and scowl usually. I don't know why she's like that, but my review isn't 3 stars because of her, it's for the acai bowl.

Food: Got an Acai bowl. While it didn't taste bad, this teeny tiny container is like $15. I used to come here every now and then as a treat, since these bowls used to be like $10/11. Not only are the containers smaller now, but increasing the price WHILE shrinking the container size is nuts. It's still better than other places I've been to though. If money isn't an object and you're bougie, you'll probably like it. If you want a fair price though, this...
