    This place is so amazing, my boyfriend and I come all the time for the tacos, they're always hot and fresh and so so delicious. It's always fast and the workers are very kind. It's always clean inside and the music is always fun.

    Huge serving sizes, lots of food options and variety of flavors for the raspados (shaved ice). They told me they no longer had guava syrup because nobody was buying it. That's sad. It's a staple flavor in tj. Fast service, and kind workers. I like this place.

    Birria Tacos
    Jack M.

    Some of my colleagues informed me that these ladies and gents at Fruity Loco offer $1 street tacos consisting of beef birria, adobada, carne asada, carnitas, or chicken. Well it's true! I had two beef birria and two adobada street tacos. The adobada tacos were very good. The adobo flavor was very good, the pork was tender, and the guacamole good. I would happily pay $1 for these tacos again. I thought the beef birria tacos were okay. They put plenty of tender beef, but I felt that the chili sauce needed a more developed flavor. It didn't offer that depth of flavor with all the herb and spices, not to mention those rendered red peppers. However, for a $1, they still very worth it. The place offers a good amount of inside seating but no outside seating. They also offer a variety of smoothies, fruit based drinks, and fruit salads. Service was friendly.

    Hairy Elote

    Should have walked out as soon as I seen dirty tables and floors then wasn't greeted when the female saw me she just walked to the back and I stood there waiting for someone to acknowledge me for a few minutes. Second sign was when I seen her take the corn out of the microwave already overcooked. I waited the 15 min for two elotes to give them a chance then we leave for lunch out of the area and voila there is a hair! I call to see if I can get a refund and say I can send them a picture of the elote with the hair and they want me to come back, return the elote and they will Give me a refund they said... the gas to get back to them would be the almost 8.00 elote refund we would get. We got charged .49 for extra mayo. Won't be back, disappointed with the service, quality and refund policy, you're throwing it away just like I am but want me to come back? It is 2024 you can give me a refund without me coming back. NEVER AGAIN. Would leave 0 stars if I could.

    $1 tacos!!!

    My boyfriend and I love coming here! The taco special is so worth it, great vibe when you walk in. Super clean, tons of options. We love their carne asada tacos, my boyfriend likes their habanero hot sauce. I still have so many things I want to try but haven't gotten around to yet. What really makes this place is the customer service. I forgot his name but he is always so kind and cheerful and helpful to giving feedback or recommendations. He makes that place a pleasure to walk into. We are so happy to have discovered this place and excited for what is to come! I know the last time we were there was talk about expanding the menu! See you guys soon!

    Chmango!! Best one made I've ever had.

    Food is amazing and fresh, I had the Torta ham sandwich, and a Chamango which was to good for me, best chamango I've had ever. Come eat at this spot, you won't be disappointed. Rida give me really good customer service, I ask what I should try, and broke it down for me.

    The Ham Torta at this location is my go to, I love that this place is a mom & pop shop that keeps their ingredients fresh & the portions bigger than their prices. I can't get over their amazing salsa's & tortas and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if everything on their menu is a hit

    Street Tacos - Adobada, Carne Asada, Chicken and Carnitas
    Nasktyboii K.

    Let me start off by saying I'm a local loyal customer ever since I moved to Spring Valley. The first time I visited Fruity locos, they had a special going on which were the street tacos going for only a buck. You won't be disappointed. I also decided to give the California burrito a try and I can't complain. It's different from where I use to get it, however it was still delicious. Ever since more frequent visits, they informed me that their menu was expanding and was going to have more foods. They have various of drinks from smoothies to agua fresca and much more. The service is always top notch and the ambiance is lively. Plenty of seating area and the workers are friendly. If you're ever in the area, or is craving Mexican food give this spot a try.

    Delicious Chicken Torta and Strawberry pineapple smoothie

    Excellent service with a smile. Delicious and freshly cooked Chicken Torta made to order. Refreshing and freshly made to order Strawberry and pineapple smoothie. Smile with a service goes a long way and brightens up a person's gloomy day. Thanks for the excellent service with a smile and delicious food and smoothie!!

The only thing I can consider to make it so was that they microwaved the chile relleno before putting it into the tray with the others. I could not eat it so I asked them if I could exchange it for the bistec ranchero quisado served over the same whole pinto beans, which they did. The bistec ranchero was okay. There definitely needed to be more of it. Some of the pieces were tender, as it should be, and other pieces were kinda chewy. They need to make sure they clean out, as best they can, the connected tissues and fats off the meat. The sauce the meat came in was pretty good. The pinto beans were fair. They were tender and properly cooked, but were onthe bland side and could of benefited from some seasoning, garlic, onions, etc. They give you corn tortillas when you order a guisado, which were perfect for making tacos and dipping them in the sauce. They corn tortillas were good. The service was friendly and offered good conversation. They offer a variety of guisados, including beef with potatoes in a green sauce, queso panela with nopales, chicharron en salsa verde, mole, albondigas, and the chile rellenos.

So many that they even outnumber 7-11's. So we have a lot of options. Rambertos is a taco shop that has been in the Spring Valley area very early on. It has lasted the test of time. Since then years later, a Jack In The Box was built next to it and after that just recently a Yoshinoya on the other side. One of the reasons Rambertos has lasted so long is the consistent tasting food. The quality control is very good. Right now it's my family's go to taco shop. With a large menu, there are a lot of choices to pick from. Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, sopas and carne asada nachos are among the things you can order. Early morning to late night; you don't even have to leave your car. Just use the drive thru window. With so many taco shops around. What makes Rambertos so special? Well first they have been here for years. So they have to be doing something right. With so many changes all around. Rambertos still remains a constant. Secondly, the taco shop serves some of the best Mexican cuisine in the Valley. Thirdly, with everything from gas to groceries. Everything is expensive. Rambertos is affordable and won't break the bank. So support local businesses especially the good ones. Rambertos is exceptional.

In addition, they charged me for using my debit card. I don't think that's legal. I know they charge you for credit, but not debit. The lady at the window was kind and courteous. But I can't see myself spending $30 for a Casa burrito.

I love it as I'm more so a sour cream fan. The rolled tacos or taquitos whatever it is that you want to call them, to me, they are always seasoned with beef and I love the thin tortilla rolled around it. On Tuesday you can get a combination plate for at a discount rate served with beans and rice. The California burrito is made with hash browns, meat, cheese and pico and I believe it's supposed to come with sour cream. This burrito, to me, is better than the ones within my immediate area which is why I'll make the short drive to this joint!!! Their regular Carna Asada burrito has guacamole & it's delicious. They don't except credit cards so bring cash. They have an ATM machine inside but of course you're gonna have surcharge fees from your banks. If you need something else, like cash then go to 7-Eleven they also have ATMs. They don't offer restrooms for customers but they do have a station where you can wash your hands.

To top it off they offer a salsa bar which is getting more rare nowadays since a lot of places are getting so cheap and greedy with their hot sauce or even limits you. Their habanero salsa is really good it has a good kick and is actually pretty spicy. The avocado salsa is usually pretty good but this last time it was sooo salty it was inedible. The roasted salsa was good and spicy as well. Lately the last few times their salsas have made my stomach hurt really bad but that won't stop me. We've ordered the California burrito, carne asada, supreme burrito, fish burrito, hard shell shredded beef tacos and they were all pretty good. Decent sizes and meats were always juicy and flavorful.
