Pacific Fruit Bar

**February 2024: Monday Morning Visit**I hadn't eaten a lot of fruits and veggies on this San Diego trip so when I saw this little shop down the street I decided to pay them a visit. The store is really colorful on the inside and there were a couple of chairs/tables for patrons to dine in. I was very curious to try their chamango and other Mexican treats, but I was thirsty so I opted for a fresh made to order smoothie. I ordered a medium Passion Berry $6.30 which was a mix of all things berries (strawberries, blueberries and raspberries) and my friend got a medium Dragon Fruit (with strawberry/bananas) $7.30 (premium drink).The order was prepared quickly and it tasted bomb. If I'm in the neighborhood I would be happy to come back!

Update 2024Pacific Fruit Bar is located in Arch Plaza off of Broadway in Chula Vista, California. Yeah, right next to the infamous Chop Shop barber.An authentic fruit, sandwich, torta, juice and smoothie eatery. All foods are made while you wait. Everything is good. It's like the hole in the wall that people don't know about until they know about it and it's worth it.Whatever item you get it can comfortably feed two. If you get a drink, at least ask for two straws. TIP: Call ahead of time if you're short on time.

Hidden gem. They have great tortas de lomo. Not deli sliced lomo, but juicy shredded lomo. Mango agua is sooo good. Their fruit salad is worthy of 5 stars on its own.

Go, great fresh food, super nice people and solid quantities. Really good value. They have so many options

Tried this place for the first time and I'm gonna add it to my list for açaí spots. Stumbled upon it as me and my bf were craving an açaí bowl and everbowl was closed lol.Their açaí bowls are one size but you still get a decent amount. They come with strawberry, banana, mango, coconut, honey, and granola :)

Trying to find a Chamango in the Bay Area is hard enough (we have Mangonadas, which are similar, but different). I figured since I was in San Diego, there would be more places around me that had it. After checking on Yelp, I found one. And with 5 stars! I was skeptic, but still wanted to give it a shot. Luckily, it was also down the street from Tacos El Gordo, which is one of my usual stops when I come back home to visit.The place is in a small strip mall. There are a few tables inside (but no public bathroom). The counter and kitchen is all sealed off, with just a small window to place your order and to pick up your order. The menu is actually fairly big with a lot of choices to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. Of course I went with the Chamango, and I even went with the large. Glad I did. Not only was it huge, but it was THE BEST Chamango I've ever had. It was super smooth and it tasted really fresh. It had the perfect amount of chamoy and seasoning. They also chopped up fresh mangoes and put it on the top, so when I was done with the smoothie, I had a nice treat of mango chunks. My only complaint is that they need an extra large size! LOL!Lastly, the ladies who work there are super duper nice! As busy as it gets, they are always super friendly. Definitely, one of my first stops when I come back to San Diego!

So good! Everything tastes fresh Tostilocos We also had their Biónico which comes with fresh fruit and yogurt.

Everything I have ever tried here is Delicious! This time around I got a torta de Lomo and a dark sky smoothie(chocolate, peanut butter and banana) the owner and employees are always very nice and friendly. Highly recommended this place!!

I had plans to go to Rosarito for the weekend, but it was cancelled due to the 'high risk' travel advisory. I was really craving a cup of nieve de garrafa like you would get crossing the border back.I decided to stop at this fruit bar since we've been here before (for an açaí bowl). I came in with hopes that they would have the nieve or something similiar.I asked what the difference between a chamango, mangonada, and a diablito.The lady said the chamango is more smoothie like, mangonada is more like a raspado, and the diablito is made with nieve. DING DING DING! Exactly what I was looking for, I was so excited! It came out perfect and the nieve itself had so much flavor! Definitely will be back!!!

Our go-to frutería! Everything is so delicious and fresh. Portions are generous - they fill everything to the brim! The owner and her daughter are super nice. Super recommended!
