I'm quite surprised by the past review.. I saw it as I was ordering and was like "shoot.. Too late!" Glad I ordered anyway.
First of all, the entire rest stop was packed to the brim, and everywhere had a huge line except for here.. I wasn't about to wait 30 minutes or longer for unhealthy fast food. This place only had 1 person ordering so I figured it would be quick, and healthier than the other options.
The smoothie I ordered was delicious! It was Mango with pineapple, and the consistency was perfect. I will definitely go to Freshens and order this again.
They also served empanadas, and I was starving, so I figured they probably weren't very good but worth a try. I ordered chicken, and I was wrong.. it was delicious! The outside was the perfect texture with a crisp edge, and inside the chicken was moist and flavorful. It was a real empanada, like the way my Cuban grandmother makes them, not like the cruddy ones you normally find. I wished I'd gotten another one!
My total for smoothie and empanada was $7.. About the same as a cruddy fast food meal, but better.
The service was great too - they were nice and quick. read more
