I decided to try this place today. There’s only one person working and i have noticed she’s wearing dirty glove on her right hand, she was also using that right hand to do cashiering. After she took my money and gave my change, she grab another glove to wear on her left hand without replacing the soiled glove. She also picked up a trash on the floor and threw it away on the trash without changing her gloves. She proceeded to prepare the costumers fresh fruits and drinks. So, I asked her to change her gloves when preparing food, esp fresh foods. She told me, yes I know that and turned her back on me. Don’t they train their people of proper food handling? If she knows that she needed to change her glove, then why do I need to prompt her to do it? I don’t like telling people what they need to do, but that was just plain disgusting. I will never go to this place again. And management should pay attention to Unilocalers complaints and train their staff to do proper food handling. I will definitely call the dept of health regarding this. It is not safe for costumers because it can be the source of viral and bacterial food poisoning.

I always see a crowd here so I decided to try it out. Located on the not so busy side of the mall, this place gets a good amount of customers. They serve many Mexican treats such as tostilocos, fruit salads, clamatos, tortas, nachos, ect. I was in a hurry and decided to get some tostilocos. It’s been a while since I’ve had them and I was pleasantly delighted with the amount of lemon and chamoy they include. They didn’t hold back on the cucumber. I also like that it wasn’t so spicy that it makes it difficult to eat. They only thing that did turn me off was that the tables are very crowded and a bit dirty. I didn’t see anyone cleaning them or wiping them off. The tables are located way too close to the line and it gets very confusing of where the line starts and where it ends. Their price is a bit steep for their items but I can understand why. They have a much higher lease since they are located inside the mall.

I can’t even begin. The fruit is sitting out has fruit flies flying around . I ordered a green smoothie and the cilantro was brown. I’ve been here so many times trying to give it chances but there is always something wrong. They water down the ranch. beware because some of the associates don’t wash their hands after ringing someone up or change their gloves this place needs to close down. I’ve had to tell them a few times.

This place is located on the corner and has a pretty big shop for being in the mall. Their display of fresh fruit and colors got my attention. There was no one seated or in line at the time so I decided to check them out. They have many fruits for a smoothie, and or salad. They had different bags of chips to add toppings to, drinks(horchata, jamaica, and tamarindo), some ice cream and sandwiches. I wasn’t too hungry, but I wanted a little snack. So I ordered the cup of corn. Service was nothing special, not good or bad. They asked what I wanted, charged me, made it, and gave it to me a couple of minutes after. The place looked clean, and stocked up and wasn’t busy at all. The corn was good, not great, but it’s what I expected. The corn was cooked ok, not hard or soft, probably from a can. The toppings(parmesan cheese, butter, mayo, hot sauce) well those too are condiments bought at a store. The cup of corn reminded me of my drive back from TJ/Mexico, except with an American price. Lol.

Ordered TostiLocos and got watered-down Chamoy which was see through. Fruit was dry and seemed to have been frozen. not to mention we got about half the amount of chips the bag has. overpriced as well. it seems the owners cut alot of corners and it is easily noticed! dont come here!

Whatever you do don’t buy fresas con crema from this place. My review is just for the strawberries and cream haven’t tried anything else from this place. Well I ordered some strawberries and cream few days ago they where nasty the strawberries were nasty and soggy they seem to have been super old the cream they used was disgusting paid $ 7 bucks for a cup filled with nasty soggy strawberries topped with unflavored cream so nasty threw them away.

I really like this place, a little up set about the fact that they didn’t have cucumber. Been coming here for years and they always have cucumbers

I love how the elote cups here are layered rather than just having the corn topped(with the cheese, mayo, etc.) since, at least for me, the dressings are the best part of it. Besides the corn, we’ve tried the fruit bowls and smoothies without ever having any complaints.

What a freakin nightmare we waited /wasted 25 mins and we didn’t have our order Chamango ! Seriously they forgot? Cmon! We thought they were busy but didn’t really pay attention of what they’re doing — this lady is f*** new and somebody help her but they still messed it up. I hope the owner can see this review I’m pissed off ! I went to the food court fruit n beyond !!! I paid $ 6 plus but the lady gave me a wrong change and I complained. Bad customer service. 25 mins for one Chamango drink? 3 people /server were there at the place !!!

The workers were really friendly & I got what I ordered(chamango) in a decent amount of time. I’m giving fruit and beyond a 2 star rating because their chaMANGO did not taste like mangos at all. It tasted like a water slush and chamoy and was very unpleasant.

Nasty! At first I was really surprised at how attentive their worker was(the only real reason I’m giving this place a review and who earned the star). I got this really nasty old with grayish pineapple chunk in my son’s $ 5.50 small cup of fruit bowl and he only got two chopped strawberries in it. I’m no Mexican but I have friends who’s had made really awesome chamangos and been to places who are exceptionally awesome with this concoction and this place is NTFA(never the phock again) I don’t know where to begin. The mangoes tasted hella old and slimy and the strawberries were just as bad, I’ve never had to want anyone to ever have to experience what I had gone through. The ice was not even blended well. I have really sensitive teeth so for them to be hit by the occasional big clunks of ice with every bite(smfh). I should’ve stopped ordering after I have seen two Mexican ladies snort their noses after just casually browsing the place…

I ordered their clamato… was pretty disappointed in the taste and quality. The cucumbers also tasted a bit sour, the jicama were cut in these huge chunks – just completely off… plus it was $ 7 for a small size, coulda easily just spent it on actual food instead of a subpar tasting clamato lacking flavor and ingredients(more clams and shrimp).

Nothing is fresh. The fruit looks like it’s been sitting out for hours. The service is bad, I work in the mall and every time I order something it takes them 20 minutes to make it when there’s no line and all they have to do is cut up fruit. If your stuck on this side of the mall, go to la crêpe or Applebee’s instead.

This place has gotten better. They used to take a very long time getting orders done but it’s takes less time now. There isn’t much food on this side of the mall and they have a good selection from hot dogs, nachos, to sandwiches. Everything I have tried was good !

If I could give negative stars I would. I usually come here to grab an Agua fresca sandia, but my last experience was horrible. After waiting in line behind 3 people, some random guy starts chatting it up with the who appeared to be owner. I guess he knew him. Right when I’m about to walk up to order the owner tells the cashier to ring his friend up. I was pissed, especially since the previous customers were taking their precious time. Decided to just leave. Definitely won’t come back here. believe the negative reviews!

Came here for a snack… Decided to try their elotes(Mexican corn)… The flavor was good with just enough sauce… And the cheese tasted fresh. But the corn was obviously from a can, then stored in a hot pot for too long bc it was super soft and watery. There are tons of fresh fruit displayed, I thought the corn would be fresh as well, but it wasn’t. Sigh… You get a big hot serving of it though. Service was straightforward. Not rude, not particularly friendly either… If anything, come here for their packaged snacks!

Decent food. A variety of options for you to choose from: chamangos, tostilocos, smoothies, juice, chacas(fruit with chamoy and candy tamarind bits), elote in a cup, etc. I had their chamango and it only had about 6 pieces of whole mango in there. Also a very tiny amount of chamoy and chacas. It was more of a mango smoothie, but I think the girl that made it was just new or lazy. The other workers kept telling her to add more while they made other peoples’ orders. Nothing to rave about. Typical mall food service.

You can order your drink and line up for the little train that circles each end if the mall and by the time you have arrived back, your drink will still not be ready. They seriously need to work on their efficiencies and job roles because although the service is friendly, the service is slow low low low low low. The chimango was chunky and a bit zesty, but I was so damn thirsty… I sucked that meal drink down. I tried to pay with my square wallet, but the wifi was down so they were trying to get some if the free wifi from the AT&T kiosk. I’d only come back here on a slow day. The sandwiches look good.
