Found another good place in Grand Central Market for healthy fruits. It looks pretty lonely compared to the busy lines at Eggslut so go get something from here. La Fruteria has authentic Mexican fruits and spices. Even combine both. The spiciness and the sweetness make a mouth party. All the stuff is fresh. It's lots of fruit with the options of seasonings to describe it pretty much. There's lots of different combinations to get with the authentic spiciness. It's about $9 for a big bowl of Rebanadas, which is basically chopped fruit. This one is tossed in a spicy sauce made with lime juice and Tapatio. Kind of expensive just for fruit. The only bad thing you can say about it to be honest. Certainly it's one of the healthiest places in the market of course. It's good for those looking for something natural or even organic. The prices are kind of high, which is about the only bad thing.

First time coming to this place, I loooooove agua Fresca, especially watermelon and horchata, I decided to get the watermelon, paid the $6.24, she gave me my cup and I sat down and had a sip and it was NOT even sweet at all, I asked my husband to take a sip and he hated how we paid $6 for a cup of water, I walked over and asked if I could exchange it for a different agua and she said NO, I asked her why and she simply said that they don't do that, sat back down and my husband went to go ask her and he came back with the money LOL I wanted a drink not my money back but I wouldn't come back...

This place was incredible! My wife and I both got fresh juices and we split a bowl. The bowls are large and full of fresh fruit and ingredients. The line was quick and everyone was very kind and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend trying this out in the market.

I was over charged and it’s already expensive as it is.

Staff was nice and the drink was fine, but at the end of the day it was just overpriced watered-down fruit juice. Would probably skip.

Word of advice if you get their gazpacho ask for easy seasoning - they mince their fruit then crazy over season like 4 tablespoons in a 16 oz cup - you can't taste any fruit - just salt, and sour. It was so salty we couldn't eat it - wasted $12 :(

We were in search of a quick breakfast, and accidentally stumbled upon a Grand Central Market! It turned out to be a pleasant surprise, and it was great to sample offerings from multiple restaurants all in one place. I ended up being drawn to the fresh fruit and pressed juices from La Fruiteria -- they all looked so fresh and delicious. The service was quick, but the employee seemed a little short mannered and not happy to be there. Regardless, I got my food fast. I went for a fruit salad made of mango, watermelon, and spices. The fruit was fresh and I liked the chili flavor. I also tried some juices and flavored water. Overall, it was a tasty and unexpected breakfast experience.

Was in the area after visiting The Broad and wanted something light and refreshing.I got the watermelon agua fresca and it hit the spot.It does run a bit pricey with drinks being $6-8. The menu could be a bit clearer with what drinks they offer.Yummy all-in-all!

This place is a huge disappointment, for a place that only sells fruit and aqua frescas I would assume it would have great quality ingredients. Unlike street fruit vendors they precut all their fruit, almost none of the fruit was ripe, crispy mango and pineapple with no flavor. The watermelon Aqua Fresca was very bland and this place is pretty expensive compared to street vendors (I'm fine with paying more i understand GC is probably expensive to rent in) but I would expect the fruit to be at the very least ripe considering it's the middle of summer. They also don't include classic ingredients like cucumber jicama, orange slices, or coconut. My partner and I ordered the same thing and each of us had completely different fruits in our bowls.

Dont buy anything from this store the guy doesnt wear gloves I called public
This place is a must-stop for me and my boyfriend when we go on our weekly walk. It's a juice or agua fresca shop located inside the Grand Central Market, close to Egg Slut and next to what used to be Clark Street. We love getting agua frescas here. It's so refreshing and there are many to choose from. We always get Sandia (Watermelon) and Mamey. I have also tried pineapple, orchata, and a kale and pineapple blend. It always hits the spot and leaves us highly satisfied. Not to mention, there aren't that many places to get decent agua fresca nearby, so it's convenient. But the girls working here are really rude. They have such a bad attitude, and it always shows. Once we ordered watermelon, she told me it was not ready, and the other girl told her it was ready in Spanish. When I asked her if I could order watermelon, she did not say anything and just gave me watermelon with an attitude. Another time, she told me she wasn't open yet and immediately served another customer behind me. It really pisses me off, but the drink is why we come back. On the other hand, guys working seem to be a lot more nicer than girls. They also do not take Samsung or Apple Pay, so you have to have a physical card or cash for the payment.

This is located inside Grand Central Market. Each agua fresca is $6 which is a little more pricey than what I'm used to, but it was a decent drink to get because it got rid of our thirst. The line wasn't too long on a Friday afternoon, service was also fast.Mango 7/10Watermelon 8/10

Most amazing fruit I’ve had in a while. I love the yogurt + fruit bowl so much. Sweetest lady at the counter. Everything is so fresh. Love coming here. Thank you

La Fruteria is located in the Grand Central Market food court. It is located by the front entrance with a bright neon fruits sign, so it is not easily missed. It is street parking or you can park at the parking lots nearby. There was only one lady working the day I went, but she was pretty efficient for handling a crowd by herself. It was a bit pricey (I think about $10), but overall it was good. I was craving watermelon, so I bought a cup of it as my snack after lunch. The chunks were cut nicely in bite-sized squares/rectangles. The watermelon was juicy and sweet as well!
