⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fresa’s 🍓🍓🍓Review

Such a cute little spot with the sweetest customer service 🩷 Everyone was so kind and welcoming seriously gave Dutch Bros energy, but for food.

They have breakfast tacos, salads, bowl-style meals (Chipotle vibes), churros, ice cream, and lots of fresh options. The prices are really good, and everything tastes fresh and satisfying.

⏱️ Speed:
I ordered twice within a 3-hour span, and both times my food was ready in under 5 minutes (closer to 2 minutes). Super impressive.

🚗 Setup:
They have walk-up ordering and a drive-thru, plus pickup and DoorDash. Parking is a bit limited but available just note they’ll let you know if parking is for customers only.

✨ Overall:
Fast, fresh, affordable, and genuinely friendly. Such a fun, convenient place and definitely worth trying if you’re in the area!

The food is good, but getting any minor substitutions is a huge hassle. I stopped going here because making slight modifications ends up costing $10 extra with no extra food.

They forgot about us. I had to rate them poorly for this because it was such a dumb mistake. We were the ONLY customers walking up to the window. Then another couple and a man came up and ordered 2 mins later. After those three individuals ordered and got their food, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe our food just took longer to make. Then after the other customers finished their food my husband went up and asked them what was going on. They had our food sitting in there for who knows how long in a bag. How do you make that mistake? There wasn’t that many customers. Also the food was only ok.

I needed a meal to take home so stopped at Fresa's Chicken al Carbon. This location is only take out and only had a few parking spots available but does have a drive-thru. I ordered the Whole Achiote & CitrusI Chicken and like the menu served w/ Charro Beans, Mexican Rice, Grilled Onion, Blistered Jalapeño, Corn Tortillas & Salsas. It is a full meal to feed 2-4 people depending on how hungry they are.

When I got home I unpackaged it and the chicken was cut in four parks separating white from dark. It's designed to build your own chicken tacos. The chicken was very flavor-able and farm fresh. The seasoning had that perfect mild spiciness and much better than store bought rotisserie chickens. The sides were also just as excellent. It lasted us for two days.

Over priced and not consistent

Grabbed a quick bite after some shopping. Sat outside with the kids. Watched the cars roll by and enjoyed some family time. Always one of our favorites.

The chicken bowl is amazing! The chicken was delicious (moist) as were the Brussels sprouts. Unfortunately, sitting outside and eating in awful Texas heat was not the high point. I highly recommend making an indoor area to sit and eat, even if only 10 tables. There is no shade, just concrete and heat outside. But even like that, I will return because the food is so good!!

I waited at the drive through for too long, paid $21 and got three tiny weenie child size tacos.... That $7 for a bite size taco. Not cute.

Love the food from Fresas!

Graded this a little lower because this location is the one with the walk-up window and drive-thru. The staff there has been very rude every time we’ve gone (but the good food keeps us coming back. Haha!)

For example, one time we got a Super Bol, and they said it would cost $5 extra to put an item on the side. Not extra of the item, just ON THE SIDE. I don’t know if that’s regular to charge $5 to put something on the side or the person taking my order didn’t want to put in the extra work(lol). When I asked, just to clarify, they gave a rude response and said “so do you want the food or not??” That’s just one example.

Again, if you tune out the often rude staff, this is great food - I recommend the achiote chicken, super bol, and the chicken taquitos with their green salsa ranch.

The food is amazing but has decreased in quality since I started going three years ago. On two occasions I’ve found things in my tacos (one time a piece of scotch tape! The other time hair.) Despite the decrease in quality control I still really recommend the food

The small amount of meat you get in a bowl here is criminal for the price. If you are looking for a real meal try Cabo Bob’s or Taco Flats.

Will never come back here - $16 for 1 oz of chicken - margins must be good on these bowls!
