Teresita’s Fruiteria

Most delicious chamangos! Line is usually out the door in the summer time as previous reviews stated, but they are usually pretty fast and the wait is worth it! So good

Horrible service, expensive (quality doesn’t live up to the price). This place is so overrated, overpriced, and they take way too long. I can honestly say I can make anything they have on their menu taste much better. Chula Vista is definitely in need of a good Fruteria place that’s fresh, reasonably priced with a wide variety of goodies while remaking authentic. I know what your thinking and Frutas is not the place nor is Teresitas.

Been coming here for years and they are by far the only shop that I know that has the best chamangos! Although, I personally get the watermelon diablito, discovered after testing out new drinks.
The chamango however, does not come with a tamarind candy straw. That’s an extra $ 1 or so. The other drinks, possibly the less mainstream ones like the watermelon diablito come with a straw made of candy. Although you should still get a regular straw.
The chamango is the perfect taste of mango smoothie and chamoy. Be careful to mix the chamoy up and watch where you’re slurping because you might end up with a mouthful of just the sweet and sour liquid candy.
The place is a little on the dirty side, but not horrible.
The service is nice and friendly and the orders are out as fast as they can.
I havne’t tried the food there, but every time I sit in the shop with my drink, I always stare at the posters imagining what they would taste like. Maybe I’ll try it on my next stop.

The best chamango I ever had ! It’s perfect the sweetness, the chamoy with the «tarugo» (straw covered with tamarind pulp) is just amazing they also have another drink similar to it called Diablito which is really good if you like more spicy ! Yum… Also all their juices are great, sandwiches (tortas), Fresas con crema, Mexican fruit salad with cottage cheese and granola on top is simply amazing … Sometimes they get really busy and you have to wait a little bit longer but worth it ! Still 5 star for this place…

Estoy muy desilucionada de Teresitas! Fuimos a desayunar mi novio y yo y cuando entramos todas las mesas estavan sucias, el piso lleno de basura! Lleno de moscas! Un asco! La cocina tambien se ve un asco! Todo tirado! Estas mujeres que trabajan ahy deverian de mamtener el lugar limpio!!! Si, la comida aun esta rica pero ya no es «Teresitas» de antes que estava limipia y te sentias bien al entrar!
Si pudiera les dava 0 estrellas!

I rarely go here but whenever I do, all I get is the chamango, and it’s always good. I should probably try something else next time lol. Tarty food isn’t usually my thing but this drink is different for some reason. The mango smoothie, mango chunks, chamoy, chili powder, and I think lime sauce (?), just an amazing mix of flavor all in one drink. It’s sweet, spicy, sour all in one scoop! Highly recommend this drink if you’ve never had one. It’s nice to enjoy on a hot day! One cup is plenty for two people

My go to spot for CHAMANGOES! They have the best! Comes with a few mango chunks too! Too bad they are way far from where I stay but it’s definitely a go to when I’m in the area. They also have a bunch of stuff on their menu. Tostilocos, fruit bowls, sandwiches etc. I wanna try their Tostilocos next time!

Traveled far and wide through Southern California to find what I deem the tastiest chamango drink and I have to say, without reservation, that Terisita’s Fruteria has the very best one! Fresh mango flavor, great size, just enough tartness, nice bite of chile, and not too sweet! Yum!

Service was super friendly, our chamango was ready in less than 4min, and it was delicious! :)

I’ve been going here for a couple years now to get their awesome Chamango smoothie drink. My family and I love it! We’ve tried chamango at other places but we keep coming back to Teresita’s! In our opinion, its the best tasting. My relatives from Canada were in town and I took them to try it for the first time and they loved it! We’ve also tried their fruit salad and it’s also the bomb!

I am a fan because I had a craving for a chamoyada at 11 pm one night and Teresita’s was there, ready for me. As soon as I walked in I was transported to Mexico for a little bit. I explored their menu a little bit and even though the name was different I found what I was looking for: CHAMANGOS! So delicious, and it hit the spot.
Will definitely come back when those cravings strike again!

I’ve waited this long to see what the hype was all about. Well I was disappointed to have driven out here to try out their chamango & diabilto sandia. I didn’t find anything that stood out or special although I did quite enjoy the diabilto sandia way better. The chamango was bland & too sweet for my liking. Would I drive all the way out here again? Nope no way. Especially now we have more choices around town that’s a lot tastier. I would highly suggest they clean their tables & chairs in the dining area. So sticky & dirty!

As a kid growing up in San Diego, I always had my fair share of Mexican candy. You had your Pico/​Tico, Chamoy, Pica Fresa, and Vero Mango, to name a few. You also had the ones that I can’t remember the names like the lollipop with the saladito in the middle, the hockey-​puck of dry peanut butter, and the mango powder in a baby bottle. All pretty damn great!
What Teresita’s does, is throw all those candies together, put it in a blender with some ice, add a little bit of crack cocaine and flip the switch! BOOM! Chamango time!
(Ok, well, maybe those aren’t the EXACT ingredients, but I’m sure it’s fairly close.)
If some of you haven’t had a Chamango (or Mangonada in some areas), it’s basically a mango smoothie with some Mexican flare. And by that, all I mean is some salty and spicy to go along with the sweetness of the mango. During those 90 degree days in San Diego, it really hits the refreshing button inside you.
While I went there, they were doing some remodeling, so I think their menu has vastly increased since then, serving some (what I presume) is delicious Mexican food. Can’t wait to go back and try them.

Seriously, I don’t know how this place has 4 star average reviews. My family and I attended tonight, dining room was extremely dirty. My daughter had to use the restroom, super dirty! We were going to get a high chair for my little one, guess what? SUPER dirty! Of course, we did not use it. Ordered sandwiches, when we sat down, wrong order. Of course we had already waited about 15 mins so I didn’t bother for them to change my order.
As we finished eating, my husband went over to the trash bin to throw away our trash, FULL trash, could not fit not a single plate in there, He tells the ladies behind the counter, their expression: «yes we know» but yet they weren’t even busy and had the trash like this.
Food is ok, overall, if their restroom and dining are dirty, what can we expect from the kitchen. I don’t think we’ll be back, we can find better elsewhere :-)

The best chamangos in San Diego!
The sweet mangos complements the amount of sour chamoy sauce and tastes really refreshing! My favorite part is when you’re done drinking it, there are mango chunks at the end to eat! It’s about $ 5 for a small chamango, but it’s so worth the drive and price because it’s bomb and it’ll cool you down on a hot day.
All of their ingredients are so fresh, you can see them cutting and unpeeling them in the kitchen.
Overall, best spot for chamangos and their other items on the menu looks just as good.

Came to check this place out because of there good reviews. i order a ham torta, small nachos and a banana split. so here is what I thought of it. let me first start with customer service.. everyone their seemed like they were ready to go home. they close at 11 and I was their at 8. No smiles, hellos or welcomes.
When you walk in the lobby is super dirty. there was trash all over the floor and the tables. The floors looked like they haven’t been clean the whole day. floors were sticky. Place was just not very well clean.
The torta de hamon was not something to die for. It seemed like I paid for just the bread barely any ham, lettuce, mayo, maybe it was the big sliced tomatoes covering the whole torta. And don’t forget the yummy Single slice of aguacate. Nachos were not that bad. I liked the way they put it together when ordered to go cheese is put in separate cup. The banana split was actually good vanilla ice cream was different. Don’t really know why they have so many stars it’s not that good. I’ve definitely had better.

SO BOMB!!! I hate that it’s so far from where I live.
My best friend took me here one time and I just got the chamango which was on point! She got something close to that but I believe with melon? I’m not sure exactly but that was really good too.
They have a variety of drinks to choose from and you can also add other fruits in as well. So good!

This is the place to get the most authentic Chamango in San Diego! I live in North County but I will make the drive down south for this yummy goodness!
My boyfriend ordered the Chamango & I wanted to switch it up & I ordered the Fresas Con Crema. We paid extra for the Diabolitos Straw which switches out the regular, boring straw with a straw with Chaca all around. You cannot have a real Chamango without it! In addition, we paid for extra Chaca but it already comes with enough. The mangos are fresh & ripe. My Fresas Con Crema was all right. As the name translates, it is a cup filled with sliced strawberries & yogurt, topped with granola. The cup is filled with delicious, ripe strawberries & like 2 spoonfuls of yogurt. I would have preferred more yogurt. Also, I would have loved for more granola (but you can always pay extra for some on the side). We paid extra for honey because I enjoy pouring some over the strawberries for an added sweetness.
The service was good & since we came in a little before lunchtime, there was barely a wait. But beware, this is a popular place for drinks & food & as we left, there was a line forming out the door so come in before or after lunchtime to dodge the wait.

My pals and I love stopping at Teresita’s to grab Chamangos to beat the heat. We usually find ourselves here on the way to Las Americas for some extreme outlet shopping.
I’d recommend the Strawberry Chamango. The medium was enough to split between my friend and myself. It’s hit or miss as far as the amount of chamoy they put in it. If you aren’t a huge chamoy fan, you might want to ask that they go light on the chamoy.

Best chamango place ever! It’s so refreshing especially on a hot day. The mangos are crunchy that mixed in the chamoy and tamarind. The sweetness perfectly compliments the hint of spice from the chamoy.
Service is quick. I usually get my drink within 5 minutes after I order.
I definitely recommend this place! Everything is so fresh here.

Dessert heaven. Yes, they offer food too but the real reason to come here is to enjoy a chamango, chawatermelon, fresas con crema, champurrado or fruit salad.
How is the chamango different from our mangonada in the Bay Area? It tasted very similar to me except we always get the tamarindo-​covered straws. At Teresita’s you have to ask for it bc it’s only served with the diablito. Either way, if you love mango and tamarindo as much as I do then you must try one.
Slushy, refreshing, tart & sweet. Deelish!
