True Fruit

Found this little gem while looking for a smoothie shop. We’re not from this town but my daughter was at a water polo tourney up the road and I wanted something healthy for her to snack on in between games. Didn’t look like much from the outside but man was I surprised. The service was great. Seemed family owned and operated and the girl who helped us was a sweetheart. They’re not just a juice and smoothie bar, they actually serve healthy sandwiches and fruit salads. My daughter had a smoothie which was really good. I ordered a strawberry banana bowl which consisted of plain Greek yogurt, slices strawberries and bananas, granola and drizzled with honey. It was amazing! My husband ordered a grilled chicken torta sandwich. Holy cow was it good! It had sliced jalapeños which made it all that better. We also got an apple juice which I think was blended with ice. I would go back just for that juice let me tell you. Yes it was that good! Food was delicious. Service was great.

Late post: I recently visited True Fruit. I am pretty excited because it is close to my house! I ordered a chamango, pico de gallo and nachos. The service was great! The young lady working there was very nice and patient. The chamango was so good! The mango was fresh and they added just enough candies inside. The pico de gallo was okay, but it is December so what did I expect? Since watermelons aren’t in season. I look forward to trying the different types of fresh juices they offer.

Sandwiches are good me and my sister go everyday, tostilocos not so great I wish they had more of everything in them and the cucumber didn’t seem fresh. I hope they make them better soon. Chacha is hard too very hard to eat :(

Delicious and fresh. Love the escomocha and chicken torta! Happy to have a place in Spring valley.

Food is good and delicious. I love their homemade horchata and almost all of their drinks. My favorite thing on the menu is the escamocha, super yummy.
Don’t forget to order a torta.

Such a great little place, it makes me sad when I see it empty! They have a little bit of everything! Smoothies are really good, great price, and the sandwiches and salads are super yummy! They even have some nice Mexican treats, some spicy, some not. The owners are really friendly, which I appreciate. Definitely check this place out if you’re in east county

I love this place! Strawberry smoothie with almond milk is my favorite !! Although the smoothie taste isn’t always consistent, I will say they are delicious every time. Consistency would help though. I have had most items on the menu and I have zero complaints. The ladies there are always nice and even make great suggestions to try or add something new !!
Maybe I come here too much? Naaaaa,.

I was super excited to go to this smoothie spot and try a new place out. Not too far away but on the other side of the 94 from us lies their small shopping center next to Baskin Robins. Hmm? I’m wondering if that’s competition in some kind of way. Anyways, we walk in and see the chopped fruit and huge whole fruit displayed in their window case by the register. There’s a little boy watching a video on a cell phone behind the register and 3 ladies working. The lady takes our order. I ask what’s a respado? She points to it in the picture. I say yes but what is it? She had no idea what I said and looked to her coworker for help. Umm?? Then my husband asks for a Chocolate Coconut smoothie. She looks confused. We figure out it’s a language barrier. Ok then another lady jumps in and says in English sorry we just changed out the menu. But the Chocolate Coconut is still on the menu board and it’s not listed on the paper menu. She looks confused and now my husband is confused and now it’s becoming awkward. I said can you make the chocolate coconut still or no? She said yes. Ok perfect then I order the Tropical Smoothie and she asks what fruit? Oh man. It’s listed right next to the smoothie. The lady then says sometimes people substitute or remove a fruit. Nope, I don’t special order, I love everything, and I chose that smoothie because of the fruit. Then I ask for a fruit bowl for my son with nothing on it and a little bit of everything soft and chewable. I went to grab a table and my husband said let’s get it to go. We both took a sip and we both turn to each other and said damn it tastes good. I will have to try it again but maybe for lunch and to eat their food not just smoothies.

He pedido un pico de gallo, la fruta de buena calidad y buen sabor el presio de acuerdo al area .
La segunda ocacion pedi un pico de gallo sigo manteniendo mi opinion anterior.
Pedi unas aguas de fruta pero se me hicieron pequeñias por el presio e insipidas, talvez la siguiente ocacion talvez sean mejores…

Perfect place to eat healthy, they have delicious fruit bowls, I love this place, is very clean, and everything is fresh.

Super rico!!! Me encantaron los hotcakes de avena!!! Y los licuados verdes extraordinarios! Las tortas esta gigantes y super saludables !

Thank you true fruit!

I came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was empty! They seem to get a lot of call-​in orders. I was craving a strawberry banana smoothie and they made it very satisfying! They use fresh fruit instead of frozen (like Jamba Juice and other juice chains) and you can tell! It was very refreshing and just what I needed. I’ll be going back to try their tortas and fruit salads.

This place is located from and to work so it’s going to be very convenient for me. I stopped in after work for an early dinner and ordered a chicken torta with the works for $ 6.99 I believe and a iced green tea.
The torta was very large and the best thing I liked about it was that it came with traditional Panela cheese, but I just which it would of came with more of it. They put long thin slices of it, so I was unable to get some of it in every bite. Although of the precooked variety, the chicken was good and came warm and tender but could of benefited from some seasoning. The onions, tomatoes, and lettuce were all fresh and crisp, and torta bread was moist for the most part, except for a little toughness towards the ends, which is common for this type of bread. The torta came with a light chipotle may drizzle over the lettuce, which was very good, and with some mildly spiced pickled jalapeño slices. I would of loved fresh sliced jalapeño slices in this torta.
The green iced tea was great. It was refreshing, yet provided a nice mild green tea flavor. The customer service was very pro True Fruit, as they are a proud bunch, and confident that you will like their offerings, which is a good things. They also make a variety of fruit bowls and smoothies.
Very nice people.

This amazing little place has been literally a 5 minute drive from my office for such a long time now and I never even noticed! Thank God for Unilocal!
THIS PLACE IS SO DENG GOOD.
Everything is super healthy so that’s always a plus.
But it tastes SO GOOD.
I am currently waiting for my breakfast
— croissant w/​ham and cheese
— oatmeal w/(mychoice) raisins
— strawberry smoothie with almond milk
YUM

I just tried for the first time and I ordered the turkey sandwich. To my surprise it had jalapeños which I LOVED lol. It was so delicious and the side salad was amazing. Needless to say I will definitely be coming back. To add my husband who doesn’t like the «healthier» food actually said he is going to order this (he chose wienerschnitzl for lunch)

Wow. I am not a real avid reviewer but I had to give this place a great review. I just had the chicken sandwich (not Torta). Really good. That is usually a boring item, right? This was tasty. A little spicy, a great fresh mexican cheese, just the right amount and array of typical sandwich veggies and avocado.
The side salad was also great: fresh strawberries, fresh mango, I think queso fresco (spelling ?) or a feta-​like fresh cheese with a nice, light, vinagrette.
Strawberry and Banana licuado was great. I think they put a touch of Cinnamon and/​or nutmeg in it and it really worked. So good.
nice ladies working too. This is by the Der Wienerschnitzel at Sweetwater Srpings and 94 in Rancho SD /​El Cajon area.
The star system is a little difficult because 5 stars means as good as it gets. Is that even possible? This was really good and only $ 11 for everything. I gave it 4 but 5 may be in order.

Hidden amongst the nearly abandoned shops of Casa de Oro you will find a simple sign for True Fruit. I live in a place where I pass it daily. Twice. It wasn’t until I hopped on almighty Unilocal and searched for nearby eateries for a healthy breakfast that I discovered True Fruit. I decided to give it a try and headed less than a mile down the road. As I walked in immediate confusion set it. Was I in a taco shop? An ice cream parlor? With ample seating for the number of customers a case full of fresh fruits is the first thing you see as you enter. Around the corner is your ordering counter where everything is listed out on a board against the back counter. Most of the dishes are spelled out in spanish, but if you’re not certain, ask. If the picture next to it doesn’t answer your question, the employee behind the counter certainly will. I ordered a drink and torta on this day and was more than pleasantly surprised. The strawberry drink consisted of nothing more than all fresh strawberries that had been blended in front of me with a dash of cream to bring out the consistency. The drink was refreshing and cold. The torta explodes with flavor even as you open the package. The aroma of freshly grilled ingredients fills the air with sweetness and lures you in for a large, dirty, nasty, juices running down your chin, bite. I picked up a True Fruit Yogurt while I was there. Talk about surprised. This ten by ten box was filled with freshly cut fruits, yogurt, and granola that ended up feeding five of us~!

After coming back from a nice 5 day vacation in Mexico, I surprisingly still walked in here. Apparently I can’t get enough of the food that was available to me every day during the trip!
I really wanted a sandwich for dinner and I lucked out. They have really tasty and HUGE tortas here. I ordered the ham torta and the price was $ 7 – 8 for a sandwich that can be meant for 2 people. I honestly can eat a Subway footlong, no problem. But even after working out at the gym, I was having trouble finishing this torta (I needed to finish it because I don’t like leaving food sitting in the car when I won’t be able to get a refrigerator until hours later). I also added a chocomilk to my order. I know, it’s crazy to order a $ 3.99 milk with chocolate syrup blended in, but I had it in Mexico and was still missing the food (and the prices) down there! It was still very good.
The employee appeared to be the only one working and I thought he did a great job. Someone even called in for a Take Out order!

Found this place on Unilocal,was looking for a place to get smoothies with REAL fruit not that nasty artificial sugar stuff.
Nice variety of choices including bowls, drinks & some breakfast choices.
Didn’t really like the location of the spot but it wasn’t too shady to be afraid for my safety at 9 am. Good hours to pick one up on the way to 24 hour fitness or leaving

So close to Rancho San Diego and we have so been needing a place like this. True Fruit has convenient food that is healthy so I can grab something on the run that isn’t greasy, loaded with preservatives, or sugar.
The sandwich comes standard with avocado and a delicious chipotle type of sauce with a salad on the side and not your typical iceberg stuff, this is greens with strawberries and a nice, light dressing. Both were sooo good. I’ve also tried the ceviche — great value for around $ 6! They have fresh juices (I love the papaya) and smoothies and if you’ve never tried a Mexican fruit salad with granola and cottage cheese, get over there! They also have fruit with lime and chile (love!) and desserts like strawberries and cream or mangoneada.
