My boyfriend and I went to get lunch this Saturday morning and we were sat at a table immediately. The food was fresh and so delicious! I got an agua de horchata and it was so good! The consistency was kind of like a smoothie which was something I hadn't had before but I would go back to get that alone. My boyfriend got the melon punch smoothie and he said it was fresh and didn't have an artificial taste the way other smoothie places do. The restaurant was clean and there was a nice breeze coming in from the door and window. 10000/10 would recommend to anyone that is thinking of going. It's truly a hidden gem in Chula Vista! read more

I love this spot. But....Does anybody know what time they open? Because we've pulled up 4 or 5 times at 10 and they're never open :(

Family owned business with exceptional service! We are always greeted warmly and the food is great. This is the only place we go to for their tortas de lomo and their chocolate shakes! read more

Cute little local spot with delicious tortas served by sweet ladies. The torta de loma was worth coming back for, even though I don't live nearby. Highly recommend giving them a try read more

This hole in the wall is a GEM. Delicious tortas and the best steak fries you can find! Service is great too if you frequent FRUTAS for their tortas, give this place a shot. No crazy crowds to deal with and the quality is top notch, I'm convinced enough people just don't know about them. I got the Lomo special torta ‍ read more

I walked in there and asked for a torta de lomo and a fruit salad with no cottage cheese. Really nice ladies working there, great service. The ambience is very chill vibes. Recommend this place 1 million percent. read more

Worth the wait. Like many other reviews have mentioned, plan on waiting a bit for your food. But you won't be disappointed and your time is rewarded with good food. Where they lack speed, they make it up with the quality of their food and drinks. This isn't a fast food place, so I was prepared to wait. I have been here twice and there has always been people ahead of me and a line that forms after me. So it appears they are popular and stay busy around lunch time. There was 3 ladies working, one at the register, and 2 cooking in the back. The kitchen is visible from the waiting area, and they were hustling and preparing everything fresh. (Which explains the wait) The dine in was closed, so it is take out only. There is a restroom available, and seats while you wait. The place was clean, and the woman at the register was helpful and friendly. We did wait about 20 minutes, but the food was very good, had great flavor, and you could just tell was made fresh. The Lomo torta was huge and the best one in Chula Vista. The salad was fresh, and very filling even for a small. They didn't skimp on the toppings and overall I was impressed. The Aguas/ juices/waters were squeezed and prepared to order. It was all fruit and veggies and the taste was delicious. There wasn't any syrups or added ingredients, just the fruits and all natural fruit juices. Great spot for a delicious meal if you don't mind the wait for good food. read more

I've been a customer since I was a teenager and lived down the street. Now I make the trip from the east county when I am craving a LOMO torta. Nothing like this combination and flavors. I like my lomo shredded, not the big slab of meat. Highly recommend it !!! My ultimate all time favorite! read more

Everything order here is so good they have the best juices ever and if you want healthy sandwiches or tortas, this is a place to go!! I love that they have friendly fast service with really clean dining area!! read more

I have been a VERY satisfied customer of tropical fruits for over a decade now. LET ME TELL YOU!!! These tortas are the best in the área. I used to drive from Eastlake and pass by dozens on similar places but none compare. I'm a customer forever ! read more

This five star is specifically aimed towards the tropical fruit salad. It is exactly what you want if you know about the amazing fruit salads you get in a Baja or Mexico experience. It is abundant, it is fresh, the fruit is delicious and the toppings are generous. This is the perfect alternative to processed sugary desserts or breakfast. These types of accepted sugary breakfasts should not be, as they break down our body system in a way that lessens flexibility in our body as time goes on. Stay away from processed sugar... Now back to the tropical salad, filled with mango, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, apple and honeydew melon all were present in a very handsome portion (probably weighing close to 3 lbs.). The toppings of cottage cheese, sprinkled granola and drizzled honey make this experience good for any part of the day, any meal anywhere. And you feel great afterwards. The ladies that have helped me have always been sweet. I have yet to order one of the sandwiches, there's always someone ordering one in front of me and they look delicious. It is a humble establishment that feels like a hideaway offering yummy delights. read more

First time visiting tropical fruits & let me say I was truly impressed ! My fruits salad was fresh and my mango water was freshly squeezed . The prices are even decent and you get what you pay for . I will be coming more often . read more

I cannot believe I am the first to review this place. It is really really good! From the outside it doesn't look like much. It's a small green house that was converted into a deli. It's off the beaten path and is off on it's own in an industrial type neighborhood.. It is only open for lunch and they do lunch right! They have an excellent selection of Tortas. Tortas like you've never had before! This isn't your typical Robertos carne asada torta. They use fresh baked bread and really fresh meats and other ingredients. The combination of flavors with the hot sauce is mouth watering! My favorite is the Torta de especial. And when you go for lunch you must must must try the fruit waters that they make. They have about a dozen flavors made from fresh fruit juice that you can try alone or mix. It's family owned and they always greet you with a smile. It is just an overall great place and soooo worth the drive. read more

Had the Torta de lomo! Very fresh ingredients, and the meat was delicious! The bread was fresh and the chipotle was the perfect kick! The price was great and it's a lot of food!

Have you ever heard the saying that you can taste the love in the food ?? Well this restaurant embodies just that. Everything from the smoothies to the tortas. Iam so glad they are now open more hours. The food reminded me of home. Thank you to all the employees especially the most hard working ladies. They have speedy service and food. read more

One of my favorite things to do is to support local businesses that deserve their money. Tropical Fruits is a place to go whenever you feel like wanting a healthier meal from your abuelita. All the ladies working in the kitchen are so friendly and really have the best interest into making you feel satisfied. Everything I have tried at this place has been so delicious... I find myself wanting to come back more often. My mom even had my left overs the day after and asked where it was from because it was that good. I'm so excited to return. The good news is that the lady working there has told me that they are going to expand their hours in about two weeks! That probably means that they're getting more customers, which isn't surprising. read more

Tropical Fruits is our favorite fruit and sandwich place. We always order the chicken baguette, beef lomo on a baguette. Omg, these sandwiches are sooooooo good. You can share your sandwich or eat half, save half. I weighed my lomo one time and it was over a pound! The ladies there are friendly and hard working. We drive from north park to Chula Vista so you know it's worth the trip! read more

Bomb.com A good coworker of mine heard me b**ching about a terrible torta I had somewhere and recommended this place, I'm so glad I finally checked it out! In the back end of palomar street, you will find the yellow orange building tucked in. We waited for a little while and so worth the wait. Tried two tortas and manga paradise smoothie. Happy and will return. read more

I used to frequent this restaurant many many years ago. I was visiting San Diego recently and was happy to find out they were still in business. The food tasted just as I remembered it! So delicious!!! I live in LA now and haven't came across a torta place quite like this one. I wished I lived closer :(. From the tortas to the fruit salads to the smoothies, everything tastes so fresh and yummy! And the ladies are so nice!!! read more

Found a new spot for tortas! The place is really cute it looks like a little cabin and they play good music oldies. The staff is really nice and the food is fresh and yummy . They put there on twist on almost all of there foods starting with the French fries there fresh and they put some tajin for flavor really good . Also they have there home made sauces chipotle spread i believed it taste really good . I just tried the torta de Lomo it was bomb definitely coming for some other types of food . While waiting I saw people with huge salads they look bomb ! Come try this joint ! read more

I came here today after spending the morning at the gym and then shopping with my papa. We decided to split the Tuna sandwich and I ordered the sunshine heaven smoothie. Absolutely delicious! The sandwich is a perfect portion to share for two. And the smoothie was so fresh and perfectly sweet, I loved the consistency of the drink and the taste was refreshing. The customer service was warm and friendly. I'll definitely be coming back here again. read more

This place makes the best all natural, fresh fruit smoothies. It's definitely made it into my regular rotation for lunch during the work week when I'm craving something cool and refreshing. My current favorites are the Berry Berry (blueberry, strawberry, banana & non-fat yogurt) and Mango Paradise (mango, strawberry, blueberry, orange juice & non-fat yogurt). They have 13 different smoothies which all sound great and they are flexible with substituting ingredients at no extra charge. I substitute non-fat yogurt instead of ice cream in the Mango Paradise smoothie. And they also make wonderful fresh fruit salads. $5 for a small gets you ALOT of fresh chopped up fruit like papaya, cantaloupe, watermelon, banana, strawberries, peach and mango topped with cottage cheese, granola, and honey. And to top that, they make the best vegetarian torta too! The Veggie comes with panela cheese, avocado, black beans, red onion, lettuce and tomato. The torta's are huge and filling too! Everything is made fresh, so there could be a wait during peak lunch hours since they get busy. I recommend you call your order ahead if you are on a time limit. It's also kind of hidden. It looks more like a house than a food establishment. It's between a Discount Tires and an Inn. I recommend parking in the back where you won't get towed. The inside is old and the decor can use some help, but there is plenty of seating. Service is always friendly too! read more

The best fruit salads ! Damn thing weighs like 5 lbs and its $5 for the small and $6 for the large ! Awesome. Good sandwiches also. Be careful looking for it because its kinda easy to miss. Well, when you see Discount Tires, slow down, its right next to it. DO NOT park in Discount Tires lot, they will tow your ass with a quickness. Getting out a 5 star review is pretty rare for me, but thats how much I like this place read more

His place Hands down the best Tortas around town! Fresh cut French Fries upon order- the best!!

Can you say Hole in the Wall!! Well with this place being so tucked back and away from the curb it could be an easy miss only this will be one you shouldn't! Tropical Fruits is a place right down the street from my work and everyone in my office always raved about it... im a big stickler for Mexican style deli's and how they make their tortas, so this was a must visit! This place takes the cake on flavor and quality. The bread is freshly baked, and toasted, meat, was hot like it just came off the pan! They have amazing Seasoned steak fries! This place lost one star only because their service was just ok and the food took forever to get out (30 minutes) In my eyes 30 minutes is too long for a torta when you are only making 3! There was no one there so it should not have taken that long! Regardless if you are not on a half hour lunch you may choose to stop in and enjoy a delicious Torta, Salad, or Smoothie. They two torta sauces too!! A Chipotle Hot Sauce and a Chipotle Mayonaise! YUMMM! The Milanesa Torta (chicken fried steak) is amazing! read more

I had a fantastic lunch here! I'm not used to stepping into a small torta shop and having multiple vegetarian options. I had the veggie torta (avocado, cheese, black beans, onions and spicy mayo) and it was just delicious. There is another vegetarian option (I believe it's vegan) with tons more veggies that I'd love to try. My meal companion and I shared fries, and I snuck a sip of her fruit smoothie and everything was excellent. Friendly service, too. Two tortas, a large smoothie, a diet Coke and fries came to about $20 including tip. I'll be back! read more

It's a hole in the wall place that I've constantly passed over but I'm so glad I decided to stop by. I wanted to try something new and I'm glad it was this place. I got a creamy sherbet smoothie and a pastrami baguette. I wasn't expecting much, just a typical smoothie and sandwich but it was incredible good! It tasted so fresh and totally not that processed junk we're all used too. I got my things to go but the place was cute inside, big comfy chairs, friendly staff, good music. I wouldn't mind eating here one of these days. I can't wait to go back! read more

These ladies work hard to make good food and they do it with love and I'm really happy to be here because my sandwich is so awesome that it is taking forever for me to eat because I keep texting my friends pictures lol and taking questions. Veggie sandwich is simple and delicious read more
