Great service and delicious fruit. They have smoothies, fruit bowls, ice cream, and more. The orders are displayed in a creative/unique fashion. Spoke with the owners who expressed their gratitude from their customers and listed their menu options. I had the cucumber lemon water and it was very refreshing and delicious. Would love to try one of their smoothies next time. read more

I tried the $8 mangonada, and it was absolutely delicious! The fresh mango, tamarind, and sorbet blended perfectly, creating the right balance of sweetness and tanginess. The flavors were refreshing and authentic, making it well worth the price. The only downside was the parking--it was a bit of a hassle to find a spot, which took away from the overall experience. But if you're willing to deal with that, the mangonada itself is definitely worth trying! The inside also felt a bit cluttered, which I wasn't expecting. A little renovation could definitely make the space more inviting and appealing to more people. I waited 20 minutes due to one person working but was in no rush . If you are thinking it will be quick definitely try to make this place last stop on things to do. But I get it and am blessed to have stopped it . Seeing small businesses prosper during these times I give it to them . It will be worth the wait !!! Show some love to La Fruta Loca !!! read more

1st time customer, I ordered the the mangonado, it was so good. Does not disappoint. My son had a tropical smoothie bowl, it was pretty good too. We came around Mother's Day so there was a lot gifts that were showcased. They had chocolate dipped strawberries, rose flower arrangements etc.. which were all very nice. My only gripe is that I was overcharged The prices that are shown on the board, didn't add up to what I was charged? read more

$8 mangonada w/sorbet and real mango, tamarind straw and chamoy/tajin. $2 pineapple chocolate dipped.. can't beat the price!! Can't wait to come back. They had SO many other things on the menu. There is only on street parking. There were some gunshots off the side street which I found out after rounding the corner with 4 police cars nearby... sheesh. Let's hope that isn't the norm. read more

Small dessert shop in Central Falls. I tried their Mangonada and Dorit-esquite. Both treats are great to share for two, depending on if you are craving sweet or savory. They also have the Sandida, similar to a Mangonada but with Watermelon sorbet, and I was also intrigued to try that. It's mainly a take-out treat spot, no seating, and street parking. The woman who prepared the treats was super nice. I'd definitely go back in the summer time or if I want a quick fix for sweets. read more

Cute place that also sells gifts, chocolates, etc. The menu is behind you (I missed it and then felt very bad for asking the owner to list them) and the lists of toppings are a bit hidden behind the arrangements. Owner is very nice and will put up with your bad Spanish. Her English is perfect. I need to catch up. Açai bowl is excellent, and the honeydew on mine was AMAZING. Seriously. The mango is a little underripe, like the other review said, but it's definitely edible. They also let the weird gringa just buy a frozen banana on a stick w/o the chocolate (it was delicious, it doesn't even need the chocolate tbh!) so bless them. My freezer is tiny, so I will now be there all the time to annoy them for more bananas this summer. read more

What fun it was to walk into this cheerful shop. The woman who I believe was the owner was so gracious and warm. Being handed that Mangonada made my day. I've tucked a few of her yummy looking homemade paletas into my freezer. Also scooped up a few de la Rosa Mazapans and some cardamom chiclets. How fun is that?? Next day: Whoa. This Arroz con Leche paleta is so so good!! Next next day: Another yummy homemade paleta: spicy mango this time! I've cued up my sister to join me when I go back this week :) read more
