Fruit Cantina

We stopped by here while waiting for a play to start down the street at onstage playhouse. It was a great stop! This place is very clean, comfortable and excellent fruit salad! :)

By far the best place. The portions are big and the price is good. The staff was super friendly they serve my order fast and the food is just freaking delicious I’m definitely coming back. An not to mention is a very clean place.

I love The Fruit Cantina. I am a regular customer and my favorite menu item is their delicious fruit salad w/​cottage cheese. It is so refreshing and the fruit is always just right. Rudy, Adriana and other staff always greet me warmly. If I call in advance they have my order ready when I walk into the shop.

Everything here is delicious!
My favorite item here is the peanut butter protein smoothie!

I went here for the first time about a week ago and I was skeptical at first because I’m a picky eater. So I ordered a turkey sandwich and I was very pleased. It was delicious. I also had a strawberry banana smoothie and that was good as well. The lady working was on her own and there was quite a few people there waiting but she was friendly and very efficient despite her doing everything on her own. I will definitely be back.

This place is really good. I’ve never had a complaint about taste, portion sizes, prices, customer service until today! Would have given the 4 stars but this was just too much.
Kid working didn’t toast the bread for the tortas, didn’t offer or ask if we wanted them that way. Normally it seems tho that tortas should b toasted.
He also made us oatmeal smoothies (2) but one of them tasted like it had protein added to it which we didn’t ask for and the texture of the smoothie was not like oatmeal … Can’t say if this is true or not since I’ve only had one oatmeal smoothie from them before which was delicious. So this one was a let down.
He told us our order was all ready to go — we grabbed it and when we arrived home we noticed that our large fruit salad was missing — partially our fault for not checking first
but as someone in customer service — always check the receipt and make sure its complete!!!
We ended up having to drive back

LOVE this place! Everything is fresh, staff is super friendly and fast!

I am updating my review… (3 to 4 stars) This place has heard my request and now carry a milk alternative. They now have low fat milk as well as almond milk. =) Due to being lactose intolerant, I appreciate places with options.
The times I have come here have been pleasant. I’ve had their fruit salad, their strawberry/​banana smoothie, and the peanut butter protein shake with oatmeal, and the oatmeal smoothie. I only get the PB protein shake with oatmeal now, mmmmm it’s so good and my favorite post workout shake.
They are never busy when I go and are always polite. I am never waiting long and I always end up being satisfied with my shake. Good place to try. But should add different protein/​powder varieties. Like Jamba Juice (energy, vitamins, etc)

They have an amazing club sandwich and really friendly customer service. love this place. Go to spot for lunch :)

UNSATISFACTORY!!! First time here and never again. Can’t believe a business is this skimpy on their tortas. Really I got the ends of the tomatoes, and a piece of cheese.

For my First time here. Not bad at all. The food so far was yummy! I had a Ham Torta. The Straberrie Pinnaple Smothie was delicious! Will come again for that drink. The cashier (Adriana) who helped me was very friendly and kind. You can tell she’s on it! While I was eating there I notice her great customer service! However I also notice she was alone and she was trying to multitask alot! Hope you guys hire someone else to help because that brings more QUALITY to the customers at least that has been my experience≠)
I will let my friends know about this place. Hoping they also have a great service=)
Thank you Fruit Cantina! Wish you the Best!

I went today for the first time and did not have a good impression. The place itself looks great! Clean but the service and the serving size was poor.
I ordered a fruit salad and the container wasn’t served well, I did not want to ask because I figure that’s the kind of service they provide.
My coworker also asked for a fruit salad, it was also poorly served and asked for no pineapple and they put some. She did asked them to put more fruit because the container was poor, and it needed more granola. The lady taking care of her never said anything, she looked mad having to fix her salad and the cashier was nowhere to be found.
I understand that restaurants have their portioning and all that but I do believe it is overpriced and that service could definitely improve. Specially during lunch time when one has a set amount time to eat

Pedimos fresas con crema y estaban buenas… pero hubieran estado perfectas si hubieran estado un poco mas dulces… (me gusta lo dulce!)pero supongo es mejor que no tengan tanta azúcar. :$
Sus” mangolazos“me han hecho regresar varias veces y seguiré yendo… lo único que los sabores varían…no podría asegurar si es por el mango, pero aveces están mas buenos que otras veces, pero si los recomiendo :)

Happy New Year! Happy New You! **YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE**
I started working in the area in September 2014 and asked my co-​workers for the famous «Menus» folder so I could order lunch. I also asked them their recommendations … of course, I got the typical econ-​choices; but, they were not the healthiest options *insert sad face here.*
When I came across the Fruit Cantina menu reviewed it and inquired with my cohorts they said, «Oh yeah, they’re nice but too expensive.» Ha! Glad I didn’t listen to them! Heck, being from New York City the prices seem reasonable to me.
Honest answer, what goes into my body is SO worth it and Fruit Cantina is definitely an EXCELLENT choice. Service, establishment appearance and ingredients — outstanding. *insert happy face here* ;-)
Advice: Call ahead to have your order prepared for pick-​up. I recommend this because UEI and L.A. Fitness are across the street and Fruit Cantina is very popular with them so it can get very busy.
Meli and the staff are phenomenal definitely support the business and go with an open mind for delicious possibilities.

Service was awesome the manager (melii) came out and made sure everything was taken care of when she noticed it was taking a little longer than it should have (it was very busy) she asked if there was anything she could get for me. She was very kind and attentive. She had a calm and professional attitude. All in all it was great customer service and my fruit salad was amazing!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I have never had a bad experience and the food is always fresh. My favorite is the Turkey Club sandwich and the fruit and sweet cream. So good! The staff is friendly and very helpful, keep up the great work guys!

its aw right. The place is nice. They seem a lil understaffed, at least when I went in. So, I had to wait for a bit for my salad. The salad was good and the service was fine. Now if this place was like Frutilandia staffing, service and food wise, you would have a 4 – 5 star establishment.

My mom and I both had the energy juice and greatly enjoyed it. Some of the ingredients were cucumbers, beets, celery, apples, and more. My mom is not a vegetable lover but really enjoyed the taste. She did comment on how she preffered if the juice was cold. It was more towards room temp. The restaurant itself was very clean, the staff was very friendly, and overall was an inviting pleasant environment. I live on third and am so happy with my first visit that I look forward to many more.

Highly motivated fast and friendly service with great staff! Great selection on the menu with a variety of options for veggie lovers. Great location in the heart of historic downtown chula vista!

We came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We just moved from Pacific Beach, aka second home of the acai bowl (after Brazil, that is), and we had a craving. We were excited it was open, since downtown CV was mostly closed.
This is much more than a smoothie shop! There were so many options. As we perused the menu, we chatted with the girl behind the counter. She was friendly and helpful, and even said she hoped we came back often.
The food came out fast and was fresh and delish. I had a fruit cup and coffee and the fiancé had cheesecake and a breakfast bagel. They even offered to fancify my fruit with tamarindo and gave my fiancée chipotle for his sandwich.

The staff us always friendly, informative and offering suggestions. It is not «fast food» but quality never is. Be patient, you’ll be super glad you did.
