The balance is what keeps me coming back: fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and a rich base in every bite. Everything tastes fresh and well put together. Honestly, I'm lucky this place is only 3 minutes from home. It's an easy go-to.

All of their fruit for their smoothies, fruit plates or açaí bowls is very fresh ,not frozen. I had a strawberry mango smoothie with apple juice . The juice is fresh squeezed with no added sugar. My friend had a watermelon smoothies that tasted just like a watermelon! I will be back. I k ow my family will love this place too. It is casual and a quick healthy snack. The staff was very friendly and helpful with questions. I''m looking forward to my next Kravngs when I am in Santee.

Their offerings range from smoothies, juices, wraps and salads. They use fresh ingredients. The granola that they use isn't the Mexican kind but for me wasn't a big issue. We ordered a Large Fruit Salad to share and a mango smoothie as well as a green smoothie for my wife. The establishment was quiet for the most part. It was Sunday late afternoon. And service was relatively quick. The food was served quickly enough and the portions in the salad was good. My mango smoothie was good and not over the top sweet. I am definitely coming back for more!

Used to be a grilled cheese place which I never tried because I like meat in my sandwiches. Then the last owners I'm sad to say I didn't visit either but today I walked in and realized they have one of the best steak tortas I have had in the US. If you're from tj they are like the tortas at the "car wash" next to giussepis. If you know you know. Very nice sized bread, toasted on both sides with a chipotle sauce, fresh jalapeños, lots of avocado, the steak was fresh and delicious. Half a torta was enough to get me through for a while and now I have a great evening snack after Jiu Jitsu. Owner said the chicken torta was even better. Hard to believe but maybe I'll get one for the wife. They have Acai with champs like a Mangonada. It's a pretty cool spot that could become a staple if enough people find it.

My first visit to Fruitylicious! I had the Birria grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread, and…read moreit was an incredible choice. Esmeralda, who made my order, was so friendly and welcoming, guiding me through the menu and letting me know that the Birria grilled cheese is a favorite. Now, about the sandwich--wow! It was buttery toasted and packed with an impressive amount of cheese and meat, truly a delightful indulgence. It also came with a side of consomé for dipping, along with a refreshing lime slice, which complemented the flavors perfectly. Fruitylicious offers a fantastic range of options since they've transitioned from being a cheese grill sandwich place to a full-service spot with both Mexican and American cuisine. Besides the grilled cheese, they also have ice cream, shakes, fruit juices, and specialty drinks that I can't wait to try on my next visit. If you're looking for a delicious meal and a warm atmosphere, I highly recommend stopping by. You won't regret it and bring the kids as they have Jenga and Connect for fun for the family.

Prices have definitely gone up, with tax I would average $10 per item. We got two tortas and three drinks, and total was about $52. Way more than we expected to spend for lunch, but it was really good. We waited more than 20 minutes for the order, which was the longest we've ever had to wait. There was only one other pair of customers ahead of us. Atmosphere is nice and clean. They got rid of the Batman mural, if you'd been there for that... it's all just white walls, simple tabling, fresh flowers in vases on the tables. Very minimalist type of space.

I love the vibe there…read moreis it's always so lively and fun and I always end up staying longer than anticipated because I just enjoy the staff. I can never decide which I like more...their energy drinks or their protein shakes, so I usually get one of each. I have become friends with each of the girls that work there because they are all so friendly and outgoing and make you feel like family. They try their hardest to remember everyone's name, but even if they forget, they will always remember your order! I love that they're open to trying new flavors and so many of the items on their menu are created by their clients. This is an awesome option if you're watching your health or, like me, counting your macros. The owner is also a fitness trainer so she has the health and wellness of her clients in mind in everything she does... Every single option there is healthy but also extremely delicious. I stopped here several times a week and it is a perfect post workout recovery or midday pick up! The drinks are constantly changing and they're adding new options all the time so I never get bored and sometimes I just make things up and they go with it. I have been coming here now for years and can't believe that this is the first time I've reviewed them on yelp but they definitely deserve the recognition... such an awesome place!
