La Fiesta Fruits & Gifts

Teo is an amazing cook with a friendly demeanor. One of my coworkers said that Teo reminded him of an uncle. He made my meal in front of me, and this home cooked style was a good change of pace from Chipotle. I’ve his quesadillas and tortas, both lightly cooked, but with plenty of favor. The beans and rice were fresh and a great value add-​on to the main dish.
The price is really good considering the location.
His card has his phone number, so you can call ahead and order. I would definitely add this one to the lunch rotation.

I’ve never had a bad experience at La Fiesta Fruits. The service is always great. The portions are hearty, and the prices are reasonable. The tortas are delicious. The chicken soup is probably the best I’ve had anywhere, and I go out of my way to get it when I’m sick. They also have a wide variety of freshly squeezed juices and fresh fruit bowls. They offer a pretty big range of menu options from healthy to greasy, and I can’t imagine that anyone could ever leave dissatisfied.
It’s hard to believe La Fiesta Fruits isn’t more popular around lunchtime. It’s conveniently located in the West End. It’s hard to see, but it’s in the same building as Chipotle. If you go through the entrance, Chipotle is on the right, and La Fiesta Fruits is on the left. For some reason, the Chipotle is always packed, but there’s never a line at La Fiesta, so I guess that’s a bonus. This was one of my lunch staples when I worked downtown. It’s definitely worth a try if you work in the area, and you’ll kick yourself for not trying it sooner.
