Mucha Fruta

I absolutely love this spot but I can't speak to the entire menu, only the birria tacos that are cooked and served on the patio and I only show up for these bad boys between 8-9 AM on Saturday mornings.I do a thing that I like to call "Brad's Big Walk" and it has me walking from my house, which is somewhere close to La Mesa (I'm not telling you all where I live!) to Little Italy. It's a good way to get some air in the lungs and get the body moving but in order to do that, you need fuel. Taco fuel.While it's not terribly cheap it's actually not too expensive either. Two (massive) birria tacos and two beers run me about $23 bucks and in my eyes, it's totally worth it. It's funny though, when I order the two beers the sweet woman behind the counter always tries to upsell me to a bucket... just like Mexico!Be sure to take that steaming hot taco over to the well stocked salsa bar where you have a ton of options and I love piling the taco high with pickled onions and smearing it with the habanero salsa. So, what are you waiting for, go out there and treat yourself to one of these marvelous tacos!

Ok! This place is the local dive bars dream! I see why it's open til 3am. As a result of late nite drinking, there is always late nite eating. Mucha Fruta serves so much more than fruit and so many more people than bar patrons. I came with my wife and son for an extra curricular school assignment to purchase and partake in a Raspado. This is akin to Hawaiian shave ice and a snow cone but the Spanish version. Assignment complete! However, we were all hungry and the menu included everything Mexican you could think of. The menu is so vast but everything we tried on an early Friday evening was so flavorful and distinct. I had two large carnitas tacos that a yelper recommended and it was legit. My wife had breakfast chilaquiles divorciados for dinner which I mopped up her uneaten portion. It was fire! My picky eater son had beef fajitas complete with salad, rice and beans on a separate plate from his sizzling marinated meat platter. I snagged a bite as he was so stuffed he could not eat another bite. It had mucho sabor (a lot of flavor). The place was very clean and the salsa bar very extensive and clean as well. The staff were super nice too but that food was the shining star! Five stars shining bright. So much better than anything you could order at an upscale Mexican restaurant for your dollar. Did I mention the menu is extensive. There is way too much to process. Just order anything and know you'll be back to try the rest. It's that good!

The name gives you clues and confusion... While they do have fruit cups with a mexican flair, they have so much more. And by more, I mean a full Mexican food menu. When I say FULL Mexican menu - I am serious as it includes menudo, birria, ceveche, and whole fried fish. Super casual. Super authentic. Super small parking lot. Average pricing. Neighborhood crowd. Interior and patio tables for eating there. Long hours include 8 am to way past my bedtime.

The best bionico I've ever had! I also got a carne asada plate and it was delicious. The service was super friendly and warm. It gave such authentic neighborhood place. The food was great and it has a huge menu to choose from. 10/10 would recommend!!

This place is our go-to late night carnitas spot. The carnitas burritos and tacos always have a generous helping of crispy, but still juicy carnitas. Their sauces are spot on, flavorful and spicy. We also get their fresas con crema and sometimes there's too much crema, but that's probably a me thing. They're open super late but they only take cash so come prepared.

Cash only!!!I have a pretty strong obsession with anything loco... so after perusing their menus, I definitely wanted to try out their Mango Loco... and gotta say, I was definitely satisfied! Honestly, I think about that chamoy encrusted mango pretty often. The pickled pig and cucumbers were the perfect textures with the perfect crunch.The Michelada was a little overwhelming; there were gummy candies and other accoutrements inside the drink, but it was still good, but I'm all about the basics done well.

Food is overpriced and taste is mid. The cashier also shorted changed us... The place could be cleaner too...

Mi gusta todo aquí !!! And good service !When your day is bad come here for good I promise

WOW... rarely do I try new things that leave me speechless. After months of drooling over Birria taco tik toks, I finally had the opportunity to try some! These tacos are insanely delicious! One "taco" costs around ~ $4.50. I got 2 because I was pretty hungry but 1 wouldve been sufficient. They are bigger than normal tacos (see attached pictures). Inside is juicy shredded beef and cheese. The outside is crunchy and just perfect. We also ordered the soup to dip it in. Each plate comes with onions and cilantro, radish and pickled onions. Just put everything inside the taco you cant go wrong! We also ordered some aqua frescas. This spot is known for their fruit concoction and juices! The cucumber lime aqua fresca was amazing as well. We got a horchata too and definitely better than 99% of the horchatas ive had in my life time. Parking is very limited but the struggle is well worth it when considering how incredible the food is!! I would 10,000% come back for those Birria tacos..

this was one of my favorite spots until they made some changes recently. I can tell this is the case because the food tastes way different than what we have ordered in the past. Some dishes have undergone obvious changes. other but not as important changes include the methods in which they would plate and wrap the food for delivery. the meals have been spilled or mishandled leading to a subpar experience. this is a tell tale sign of either new management or new employees. please bring the old employees or management back. they were phenomena.
