Fruity Loco is a hidden gem on Sweetwater Road! I come here at least 3 times a week with my family! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly service and a vibrant atmosphere. The place is clean, colorful, and full of good energy. Their menu has an amazing variety of snacks, desserts, and fruity treats--perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth or craving something refreshing. I the chamango and bionico , and both were packed with flavor, super fresh, and beautifully presented. The chamoy and tajín combo was just the right balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is top-notch. Whether you're stopping in for a quick treat or looking to try something new with friends or family, Fruity Loco is definitely worth it. Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Girl with the nose ring and huge ass ear hoops is rude ah fah! Stopped in this place because of the Acai sign. Extreme false advertisement. Super Ghetto Acai bowl. GO TO EVERBOWL in Eastlake and get your moneys worth. She tossed my order across the counter top. So sad. My son got sherbet ice cream and she didn't even acknowledge his happy smile. He even said thank you. She said nothing back. My son is 7. So sad. Go down the street to Fruity Loco by the AM/PM on Jamacha Blvd. Sitting inside makes you want to leave. No music that you can hear. Very disappointed. read more

If you're craving mariscos at home and don't want to leave your bed, El Rinconcito might be…read moreconvenient, but flavor wise it didn't fully hit for me. This place is known for their mariscos style dishes, aguachiles, aguas frescas, and snack style items that lean refreshing and citrus heavy. This review is based on a delivery order through a third party service. I ordered an x-large mango agua fresca, an order of their aguachile verde, and a bag of salsa verde Tostitos. Unlike other reviews I've seen, I got everything I ordered. Everything was packaged with so much care too. Multiple bags to make sure nothing spills, utensils, straws, napkins, everything included. It really doesn't get better than this when it comes to delivery. The customization on the aguachile let me go a little wild so I added mango and extra camarones. I thought the mango would come in the same container but it was packaged separately in a bag. The quantity actually surprised me. I was expecting maybe a few pieces but it looked like almost a whole mango. The portion of aguachile itself felt a little small for the price, especially after paying extra for shrimp, but still okay. It came with onions and cucumbers but barely any avocado, maybe like three pieces. The flavor of the aguachile was not what I expected though. It wasn't very limey or spicy, it leaned really mild and didn't hit that craving. Most of the shrimp tasted fresh but a few had that fishy taste which kind of threw me off and ruined the experience a bit. The mango though, super fresh and really sweet. Now the mango agua fresca was incredibly sweet, like way too sweet. Even after letting the ice melt a bit it still tasted like straight sugar water and I had to add more water myself just to make it drinkable. I did like that it had real mango pieces and tasted fresh, but I want something light and refreshing, not something that feels like three cups of sugar. Overall, I really appreciated how well everything was packaged and delivered because that honestly makes a huge difference. I'd maybe give it another shot in person, but based on this delivery experience it was a little inconsistent
