My friend and I went to a farmers market in downtown Sac and came across this agua fresca stand. They had a variety of flavors to choose from and even offered samples which I liked! My friend got a mix of Passion Fruit and Hibiscus and I got a mix of Mango and Guava. After tasting hers and mine, I think I definitely liked her mix better. My drink started to taste watered down real fast to the point where I was starting to no longer taste the Mango and Guava flavors. However, service was quick and had easy payment. You can pay via Venmo, Zelle, etc. and if you pay with card, there's a $3 charge. They also have 2 different sizes, Medium and Large, but both seemed to be too big for me. I ended up going with the Medium since it was the smallest size but it was still too big for me. I think if they offered a smaller size, it would be nice. read more

Rip off. Somehow both watered down and overly sweet. $14 for medium and a $3 credit charge. No listed prices. Karma will bite back read more

Vendors at a street fair in Oakland. No prices listed anywhere. I got a MEDIUM agua fresca and a SMALL bag of Tostitos. Came out to $35, but apparently they can't help themselves and charge a $3 fee for credit cards. Just plain greedy. read more

I was at the Sazon Latin Food Festival again, and felt like getting a drink, so I stopped by Pitayas Locas. I sampled several flavors before making a choice; kiwi was one of the stronger flavors. I felt fresa (strawberry; I tried the one with strawberry only, not the strawberry lemonade) and guayaba (guava, comes with lemonade) were underwhelming but maracuya (passionfruit) was pretty good too. I ultimately opted to get a medium of kiwi. I definitely recommend trying a lot of flavors since some are really weak, others are better. I really wish they would put the prices up, but I bet it would scare off customers if they knew. I got charged $14 for the medium drink, which is already $4 higher than what I paid a year ago from Pitayas Locas. I would think the price should only be closer to half of that... Maybe that's how they make the money back up for the fact that they are generous with samples and there didn't seem to be a sample limit. read more

Came across this booth at the Tet Festival hosted at Elk Grove Regional Parks. It had a lot of aqua Fresca flavors to choose from. You can also sample them too. Their medium is $14 and their large is $15 (the one in the picture). It is kind of expensive, but you do get a good amount of liquid. Workers were super nice so don't afraid to ask for free samples. After trying a few, we settled for the melon horchata, which was super delicious. read more

See all

DON'T EVER GO HERE!!!! Wish I seen these reviews before I got ripped off! They are currently at the peach festival in Marysville,CA 7/17/26-7/18/26. They don't have their prices listed which now I can see why, nobody would ever pay $14 plus a $3 fee for a medium horchata if the prices were displayed. I couldn't hear anything she was saying over the loud music playing at the festival and she took my card, tapped it and handed it back. No receipt nothing. When I got home I seen the $17 charge I was like no wayyyyy. That drink was way too sweet I took one sip and couldn't take any more. It was not fresh horchata and it was so nasty! Don't ever go here, we are all out here trying to support small/local businesses and they are just ripping people off! I would give them 0 stars if that was an option read more

I am giving this place 1 star because I am unable to give less. I don't usually give poor reviews however, I believe this is important for people to know. After visiting here this past weekend my card was swiped and we were told that the payment did not go through. As a result we paid cash to then realise the next day that our credit card was charged more $600+ dollars. Ofc it was flagged but this is a major inconvenience to our family and super dishonest. I would hope this was an error and not an attempt to scam. As they could have done a return on the payment especially since we paid cash because "our card was not working" read more

juice tasted watered down and they charged $15 for a single drink??? the small size too, their prices weren't listed which was on me for not asking but seriously, $15? that's just excessive read more

I didn't realize it was $15 until after I paid. On top of that, honestly it was just cool and. Completely artificial flavor

I would give this place a 0 start if I could! The drink was disgusting and tasted like kool-aid.

Why are you calling these drinks agua frescas! these drinks are not fresh and taste artificial. On top on that you are paying $14-$16 dollars a drink. I took one sip and found the next garbage can to throw it in. read more

To reiterate the other 1-star reviews, $15 for a medium agua fresca is ridiculous. Aside from tasting quite ordinary, there was no transparent pricing or signs to indicate prices. It seems like they vend at various locations but this was in San Francisco. Nearby stalls were selling **clearly priced** garlic fries for $10 and bead bracelets for $5 to give you an idea of the ranges/value. While I definitely should've asked for the cost beforehand, there is absolutely no way these drinks are worth it. Definitely avoid this stall, or any stalls that don't clearly display their prices. read more

Complete joke. The drinks were decent at best, but the smallest size costs $15? And if you're paying with card? $3 extra charge. They purposely have 0 signs indicating prices anywhere. Easily the most expensive Agua Fresca around, and not even remotely worth revisiting. read more

At first we were real excited to see the wide variety of aguas frescas displayed at the street fair we attended, but when we're asked to pay (which we did) $30 for 2 large aguas... I was floored! I mean, they're good, delicious even--we sampled a couple. But... c'mon.... $15 each?? It's too much! Especially if you're going to come to an event where you know there are people who do not earn enough to pay for their bills and rent in the east bay! It's so sad that something so sweet can give you such sour aftertaste Next time.... Pitaya agua fresca at my house! read more

The drink was flavorful, and the Customer Service was very nice as well. I do recommend for other people to try it..

I support local businesses but this businesses took advantage when they were selling downtown this past weekend 9/13/25. No prices were reflected and I paid $15 for 1 drink! That is ridiculous and rip off! To make things worse the drinks were water down and had no NO FLAVOR! The drink I got was more water then anything. I am very disappointed this business rips off people and waters down the drinks for a ver high price! DONT GO HERE! THEY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU AND RIP YOU OFF. read more

They were offering free samples at their vendor stand at Oakland First Fridays. I liked the strawberry and the pineapple lemonade so much that I went ahead and ordered the peach without trying it. I was so happy I did. read more

To reiterate other reviews, I saw this stall, looked good in the Fruitvale - Oakland fair. Tried a few drinks, the service was good. Went ahead and ordered a passion fruit one. The drink was watery, and not worth $14 they charged. I should have asked the cost before ordering, a lesson learnt for next fairs. read more

They were vending at Oaktoberfest and saw a table of different Agua Frescas. As other reviewers mentioned, they don't advertise their prices anywhere. I ordered a medium-sized coconut horchata and the prize was $14. Luckily, I had cash on me as they charge a $3 fee when paying with card. It's not worth the amount they charged me because it's watered down and could barely taste the coconut. You'd be better off ordering from a restaurant or make it yourself. read more

Absolute bums who clearly have no respect for their customers. The audacity to add a 3 (THREE!) dollar charge to pay with card is greedy in hindsight, yet it gets ever grosser. After reading these reviews, it is clear this whole business is a scam. They are sending themselves huge sums of our hard earned money! Not to mention that there are absolutely no signs indicating the prices of ANYTHING. You would think that for $15 (FIFTEEN!!!!) you would be getting a delicious drink that you could enjoy. Instead the drink is flavorless garbage that I couldn't even bring myself to finish. There are so many other food stands and small businesses at the festival that could've been supported, yet people are wasting their time and money at these scumbag's "business." Be ashamed, you are vile pieces of filth that are going to rot. Scamming and f**king over people continuously is NOT a business and if you don't recognize that... Well, just ew. TL;DR this place is a scam and their products are trash, invest your time and energy somewhere else that cares about their customers read more

I saw their stall at the Union Street Festival over the weekend and immediately wanted to support another Mexican small business since their aguas frescas looked delicious. Well I was in for a shock when I ordered a MEDIUM cucumber lime, not a large but a MEDIUM, handed over a $20 bill and only got $5 back in change. I asked the lady who helped me if this was $15 and she said yes. Normally I wouldn't complain about the price or leave reviews knowing how much it costs to have a 10x20 set up at those kinds of events in SF, but they didn't have the prices listed ANYWHERE. $15 for an aguas frescas without any alcohol is diabolical. I'm not surprised they have a 1.4 rating on Yelp. I hope they use these other reviews to better themselves. Very sad! read more

There aguas frescas are very tasteful.You can taste they use actual fruit and they always have 15 plus flavors.Some of my favorites is the Fresa leche,cucumber lime horchata and watermelon But all the flavors are very good.I think that they got very good prices for the drinks. They also have very good service. read more

actual scammers drinks taste like sh*t and overpriced. i paid 14$ for a medium drink (????) and poured it out after 3 sips. dont waste my time and money. read more

Wanted to give this place a try since there would be lines and it looks like it's popular, so I decided to try the fresas con crema. After receiving it we later found hair in it and was completely grossed out and threw it away. Some time passed and decided to give a drink a try and the kid that they had working in the booth never changed her gloves after cleaning dirty containers on the side. After asking for ice she just reached into the ice bags with the DIRTY gloves she never took off and put it straight into my cup. This is serious cross contamination and not clean at all. If you have any serious allergies beware because you may not know if the gloves they use were changed when making your order! If I could give this place a 0/5 I would. Do not recommend. Prices are definitely taxed and they charge a $3 card fee? That's the most anywhere has even come to charging me for using my card even in all the markets that they pop up in. read more

Was at worlds worst today, a young girl in a tie dye shirt was cleaning containers in the back and came and helped us. We asked for a coconut water and she Didn't change her gloves and handed us a dirty straw that was in a different cup, we asked for ice in our drink and she grabbed ice using the dirty gloves that she used to clean the containers. This is gross and terrible cross contamination. Previous experiences were bad as well -drinks are extremely over priced. -got a strawberry and cream with hair in it -very messy tables not clean at all -$3 charge if you're using card (I own a small business and tax is required but $3 charge is NOT necessary) 0/10 I would not recommend. read more

15 dollars for an agua Fresca is crazy .for some people that's like an hours work .I know we're in inflation but damn this is ridiculous

Why do yall think it's ok to sell horchata made from water and powder from la superior??? Trash waters and THEY TIP THEMSELVES WITHOUT ASKINGGGGG absolute losers read more

They were a vendor at the Fork'n Good food festival. Even though the drinks were delicious we were charged $38 for 1 drink and 1 street corn. I believe they said the large drink was $10-$12 so there is NO WAY the street corn was $26. Be aware if you are using a credit card with them. No receipts were given so no way to dispute the charges unfortunately. read more

Their aguas taste really good but they do change their prices depending on where they are vending. At an SF event they charged $15 for just one agua fresca. Somewhat ridiculous for paying that much for an agua fresca. read more

Went to a beer fest over the weekend and was told I was being charged $11 for a drink, but was charged $31. The same thing happened to my friend. read more

they were at a little fair in my town and a large water was $12 that is just a ridiculous prize, at the flea market or other restaurants you only pay around $5-8. sometimes this small businesses make more profit than any other store or place read more
