Chuchee's - La Mesa

Loved the elotes and the pico this place was delicious and next time I'm in SD I will stop by to try something new!

My go-to fruiteria! They have great tortas and great smoothies. I always order the chamango (so, so tasty) and occasionally order the tostilocos. Slowly but surely trying everything on the menu at least once!

I used to love this place for the past few years and have referred many friends and coworkers. Unfortunately that's not the case anymore. The quality of food has deterred, each time I went back, it's worse! The staff isn't as friendly anymore either. They use to have better quality lomo until last year they changed their product. Also, pricing has gone up quite a bit, I understand inflation, but shouldn't mark it up more than 35% within six months, that's a little steep. They've always charged .50 card charge, but it would be better to include that on your price. Personally I hate seeing an additional charge for using a card at places. That's why the majority of places don't do this. As mentioned before the tortas, elotes, and other foods we've tried at Chuchees have always been great until the past few visits. Today was the deal breaker, the lomo was so overcooked that it was hard to bite into and enjoy, it was way to tough. I ended up throwing part of it away, which I never did before. They are good portions so you can save half for later, not this time. Unfortunately I won't be back, which is sad, because I like supporting family run businesses.

Love this place! Conveniently down the street from me so I love calling in and picking up orders. I had the Turkey torta: decent size and very tasty. House sauce is maybe a chipotle type sauce but it is good. Citrus Breeze smoothie is very good. One thing I missed is the larger size for the smoothies but still same great taste. It looks like they sell fruit arrangements similar to Edible Arrangements. Only seen pictures but they look great!

First time visiting this place . I waited 45 Minutes for two raspados . The raspados were not good .. I won't be coming back. Underwhelming
