De li cious First time visiting this place and was pleasantly surprised with all their options. Also had a coco preparado and likewise was perfection. My new go to for Mexican Antojitos. Cash only. ATM available indoors. Service was excellent.
I have been coming here for many years. They without a doubt have some of the best fresas con crema around. You get a good amount of fresas and the crema has such a great taste. Portion wise they're definitely on the bigger side and seem reasonable for the price. To this day they're has yet to be something I don't like. Service is great, they're all always in such a great mood. You'll always walk-in to them playing an old school Mexican movie/show of music. This has definitely become a go to spot.
All right foos if you are a real Mexican you know what's up with tejuino. This is an ancient drink made by indigenous people in Mexico. It's made by fermenting corn and lots of other cool things and process. Get this to fix la cruda (hangover) Jaa jk not sure if that is scientifically proven. If your not down foo they also have lots of other Mexican and Chicano treats including chamangos ice cream de garafa or nieve artesanal, sandwhiches and nachos just to name a few. So if your socks are low don't bother but if you want that street cred come on through all races welcome.
Two small pieces of Mango in this LARGE FRUIT SALAD which is mostly cucumbers. Cucumbers theoretically is not a fruit hence the item on the menu says "fruit salad." ten dollars for 25-30 small pieces of "fruit." One small lime, salt, and chili. RIP OFF IF YOU ASK ME!! Next time I'll just make a bucket for $10!!!!!!!!!!!
If you're someone who cares about supporting local businesses, this place is a must try. The tortas are always delicious but can take long depending on how busy it is so I would suggest calling and ordering ahead of time. They have a pretty big menu, ranging from licuados to nachos and tortas but they're famous for their tejuinos. I definitely suggest checking out this business as you'll always find the owner there working alongside her team. There's limited parking in the street but you can usually find some extra street parking around the corner.
Got the Elote in a cup and the large Tejuino with nieve de limon. It was really good and really fast. The staff where friendly and they were efficient. Great spot for a quick treat. Will definitely be back.
For starters this business is CASH ONLY. They have an atm in there and charge $2 to withdraw money so if your planning on going bring some mula. Now onto the review The family and I went we got Diablitos, Fresas con crema, an elote, Ice cream, lemonade and nachos. The Diablitos were good honestly better than mangonadas I've tried from other fruterías the fact that they use shaved ice like in snow cones makes it so much better and it's only $5 The ice cream was good it was nice and creamy. The elote was just as good. Cherry on top is you can add crushed hot Cheetos or takis to it the lemonade is fresh and thirst quenching especially now that it's getting warm. Fresas con crema were on a whole different level!! I've never tasted crema like that before and the strawberries are just the right amount of sweetness, top it off with granola and you've got yourself heaven in a cup. The nachos are OMG that's how nachos should taste. Overall it's a great place to come grab a snack for a low price. Stop by and try it out for yourself
This little hole in the wall is the best. If you want a home made feeling this is the place. They have elote (corn) so many different ways that I haven't had the chance to try them all. They have different types of drinks that you can't get any where else.. well maybe if you cross the border. My favorite is the tejuino with two scoops of lime ice cream .. trust me it's so good.. you feel like it's going to be a lot offering a large but I always find myself being satisfied.. The only warning is bring cash..
We got so lucky that this joint was right next to our hotel. Ups on arriving we were greeted by the friendliest staff. We didn't know it was only cash at the moment and she was sweet enough to wait for us even though she was starting to get a line. The tejuino was sooooo good. Probably the best I've had in a while. We also tried the tamarind ice cream and it was delicious. I can't wait to come back for more!
D e l I c I o u s Raspados and Nieves de limon . It's like the ones they sell when u cross the border just 1000 x better.... It has no food coloring or artificial flavors so don't expect to see bright green ice cream. "Nieve de garafa" I think this is what it's called. Best RAspados de limon and tamarindo . Everything is delicious. Everything is made to order so there is a waiting period! Be patient and polite please Bc the ladies behind the counter are working as fast as they can! Oh yeah and if you are looking for Tejuino they also sell it here! Prices- $ just right! - CASH ONLY! :( -nachos -bionico - banana splits -fruit salad -pico de gallo - Tortas -jugos- fruit and veggie juice- smoothies
I had been staying at the Hotel Motel Holiday Inn in National City and when walking my dog in my new neighborhood I stumbled across Las Uvas. I had walked by it so many times I finally went in and man, I was hooked. I ordered a strawberry raspado and a chorizo torta. They were really nice and let me wait inside with my Kodiak. The raspado is huge and was so delicious, it hadn't been warm but it was definitely the best sweet little treat after a rough work day also that chorizo torta is so flavorful, the jalapenos inside add a nice crunch but gives some acidity and heat. I'm back home now and looking at these photos makes me want to take a drive after work just to get another raspado and torta! Please check them out, the ladies here are so sweet and thoughtful. read more
This place is a hidden gem for all things yummy snacks. If you like Mexican desserts and snacks I recommend this place. They have a big menu to choose from that includes homemade ice creams, nachos, tortas, aguas, raspados and the list goes on. They make the best raspados and lomo tortas. The place is small but there's seating inside and outside. I'm glad they finally are not a cash only store like they'd been. read more

Best chamoy tejuino and elote ever! I always get the chamoy tejuino and ask them to put tajin around the rim. Decent customer service, however sometimes it takes a while to get service or you'll go inside and staff won't be at the front for several minutes. Cash only! read more

Another Mexican fruit place that serves tortas, pretty unoriginal. What is great is the fact they they have Tejuino (trust me you dont wanna know) Its hard to find it in San Diego, so every trip I take to TJ i am on the hunt....but not anymore!!!! They have a Tj hotdog guy outside usually after 6pm, he can be pretty slow, so order from him and go inside, and order something from the ladies who can also be pretty slow. I love getting raspados here even during the cold days. They are all made with fresh fruit and taste great. The tostilocos here are kind of disappointing but then again I am more of a tostiloco connoisseur. Bring cash (there are several banks within a couple blocks of here) and DO NOT be in a hurry. And if you want to know what tejuino is read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tejuino read more

So if you are craving elote but dont want to cross, this is your place. My wife introduced me to this place to try tejuino. She had been coming here since she was a kid. Now it's my place for some tostielotes or a limonada on a hot day. Cant go wrong but remember to bring cash read more
