    Chicken, apple salad, and smoothie
    Chris A.

    We stumbled upon this place and we're pleasantly surprised. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious and reasonably priced. The surface was friendly in the atmosphere was enjoyable and clean. The smoothie was delicious along with the chicken apple salad! A fabulous healthy alternative

    Went here twice but ordered the same item- Hi Fresh which is a watermelon and cucumber juice. A VERY refreshing drink after a day at the beach. Both times there was no one at the register so I had to wait a while , evening after ringing the bell. But the juice is redeeming.

    I love their green juice. It's so good and healthy. The blended one is good too but it's too thick for me. Highly recommend their green juice!

    This is the third Fresheria location I've been to now and even though it's not the best of all three, it was still really great. I loved my chicken wrap and that the woman who took my order allowed me to get it without cheese and chipotle sauce. She also accommodated my requests to order my blue kale smoothie with vanilla protein and coconut water instead of whole milk. I will say, the smoothie had a bit of an odd texture and consistency. That is most likely because I made some alterations to it, though. It separated a bit and was more like a juice than a smoothie. It still tasted very good and was an extremely refreshing drink. The service was again great because despite being pretty busy, they were able to make our food in only about ten minutes. Definitely one to try some day!

    Service is okay. I have came back several times because I live nearby, I recommend their smoothies and acai bowls you cant go wrong with those. Gave their sandwiches a try twice 2 different visits and only had a couple bites each time, I was not satisfied.

    Oatmeal Pancakes
    Paige K.

    Overall this was a tasty meal. I ordered from DoorDash for breakfast. I got the egg white omelette with no cheese and the oatmeal pancakes. The omelette was a good size and packed full of veggies which was great. It did however come with this bland stale bread which I didn't even bother to eat. Luckily I got the oatmeal pancakes on the side! They were definitely dense... but pretty good for a healthier version. Two complaints - on DoorDash you chose your fruit topping and I selected apple, which I assumed would be sautéed apples but no... it was just a slab of raw apple which would be very weird to eat with pancakes. So that was useless but I did eat the strawberries which came on it. The only other disappointment was they promote healthy eating and give a healthy pancake option but then provide smuckers syrup on the side which is basically corn syrup. Come on fresheria, you can do real syrup!! But all in all I would get both again!

    Tried the cheesesteak torta and it was tasty. It took a while for it to arrive since I ordered it via ubereats and it was still pretty good. This is the first time trying anything from this location as I usually hit the one off Beyer Blvd down south. Fresheria has a variety of healthy options and their detox smoothie is always hitting, especially after a bender ;).

    Very Bery Smoothie large

    Plenty of seating but getting our food took forever even though there weren't many people in front of us. It seemed like people kept getting their food before us. We got a chicken torta (delish), very berry smoothie (pretty good), and strawberry banana smoothie (not great). The torta was big and flavorful so exceeded my expectations the strawberry banana smoothie was just super icy and bland. The color was super light and h could barely taste the strawberry or banana for that matter and that's hard to do because banana is cheap and gas pretty strong flavor on it own. I expected way more from an $8 smoothie.

    Grabbed lunch in the area. My husband found this place hunting down a hearty food option in southeast San Diego. There aren't too many in this area. Parking was great. They have a huge lot. Lots of outside and inside seating. I got the chicken sandwich with a side salad. It was fresh chicken was well seasoned. We also got juice that was freshly made very tasty. Service was very good. Food came out quick. Will Be back to support.

    Acai bowl
    Megan M.

    Come here often for acai bowls! I ordered on app and still had to wait a few mins. They are always busy. Acai bowl hit the spot.

    Mango chicken bowl

    Absolutely Love finding a healthy cute place to eat. This place was busy when I arrived, busy with to go orders as well. I noticed they keep up well with all the orders. I ordered horchata latte, chicken pesto sandwich that came along with a salad and a mango chicken Bowl. Great price , great food great service I will be back.

    Unassuming little spot in university heights with the best açaí bowls you can ask for. Super fresh with generous portions.

It was pretty lively inside and there were a few people talking very loudly on their phones, which started to get a little distracting. My mother in law was joking about it, but it did make the space feel a bit chaotic at times. The wait for the food after ordering was quite long, but once it arrived it was worth it. My mother in law ordered the fish with rice and I got the fish with pasta. The portions of rice and pasta were honestly more than one person could finish, but everything was flavorful and well cooked. My brother in law ordered a wrap and said he really enjoyed it. We also tried the watermelon drink, thinking it would be fresh juice, but it wasn't what we expected so that was a miss for us. The sambusas were okay, but the meat filling was a bit too finely minced for my preference.

They serve a mix of Thai and Lao dishes, and the menu has a ton to choose from. We started with apps and ordered the Lao‑style beef skewers and the cream cheese wontons -- both were amazing. They offer beer, wine, and a whole lineup of sugar cane drinks. They looked delicious but a little too sweet for me, so I went for a fresh coconut instead, which felt tropical and fun. For mains, we ordered the fried chicken plate and the drunken noodles. The portions were big. The fried chicken was extra crispy and cooked perfectly -- it came with rice, a green‑curry‑style sauce, and a piece of bread. The drunken noodles were fantastic. We ordered them mild, and even then they had a little kick, which I loved. Of course, we ended with mango sticky rice, and it was lovely. I also love that you can pop in just to grab their snack bags of crispy chicken skin or one of their signature sugar cane or Thai boba drinks. Such a great spot, and I'd definitely recommend it. Parking in the strip mall is a little chaotic, so just be prepared.

Sometimes it can be a hit or miss, as with most places that have more of an experimental approach, but lately I've been leaving Bica just regretting coming and wishing i had gone somewhere else for my morning routine. The staff will 100% prioritize their friends that walk into the coffee shop, over customers. This has happened many times where I'll walk in, place an order, then notice 5 people behind me in line getting their drinks before me simply because they're high-fiving and hugging the owners or baristas. I've waited 30-45 min for an iced tea while 10 people get their coffees who ordered after me because I'm not sure if it's easier to make 10 coffees in a row then stop your flow to make an iced tea, but they definitely don't make the drinks in order here which is so frustrating on top of the long lines. Bica is such a scene now it's more trouble than it's worth.
