Fruteria Cano

Love this place… I always get the grande fresh fruit with pineapple, kiwi and coconut and a grande watermelon fresca. It is easily 3 – 4 lbs of fruit and a liter of juice for less than $ 6.00. I take it home and snack on it for 2 days. They have amazing drinks and much more! Affordable for all :)

This place is like a Mexican dessert/​snack/​fruit/​aqua fresca/​cake shop. They serve fruit, ice cream, and cake goodies as well as some savory snacks. Treats like cut fruit, slices of cake, and ice cream concoctions… even whole fruit.
I tried their strawberries topped with coconut, and this delicious sweet creama that I could have eaten a bowl of… all on its own. I also got to sample a melon aqua fresca ($ 1 for a small), and a guava aqua fresca. The drinks tasted okay to me. The strawberries were even better. Give the place a whirl.

Everything’s great and they have a variety of items to choose from. My family and j enjoyed everything except the mangonada we got had too much ice in it so the flavor wasn’t all there. My fruit was also a little ripe. Overall though it was good!

Terrible staff. Rude and treat you bad. If you don’t speak Spanish they will treat you like they don’t care. No customer service. And fresh isn’t what you get. Buyer beware

I just moved to this area and my sister and I stumbled upon this place and I’m so happy we did! Everything that we have tried has been amazing! I love the store, the signs & overall cleanliness. The cashiers are very helpful and quick. We come here at least once a week and I love their fresh kiwi drink! Very fresh!

This is the place to get the most authentic Mexican snacks and fresh fruit. I came specifically for the rusa but I heard great things about the fresas and crema. I had to get it. I knew I couldnt finish them both but I got them anyway. I don’t regret my decision at all! The Rusa is a mix of chamoy with sprite/​club soda with fruits and extra chamoy on top. The cup is never big enough! The fruits are always overflowing and so much to enjoy. It comes with a chamoy straw. It is such a nice extra touch. Rusa was about $ 5.50. Strawberry was also around $ 5.50. I got a small but she gave me a lot!!! the cream was oozing out the container. That could easily be shared between three or four people. You will get your money’s worth here!

This is a great place they have almost everything fruit drinks, workout drinks, tasty fruit and ice cream!!!

One of the highlights of the year I lived in this neighborhood. (Please remember, the Galleria is blocks away.) Fresh, ripe fruit. Some of the best horchata in town. Reasonable prices AND friendly staff? A DEFINITE win.

I bought their fruits a couple of times, at times they were great!!! But I have been getting orders with bad fruits in it.

Stopped in today after lunch to try out a cold drink. I am really glad I did! I ordered a mango smoothie and they gave me a huge 32oz smoothie for $ 3! I got to see the lady make it and no artificial things here. Just ice, mango, and milk. It was super refreshing and I’ll definitely be coming back again.

$ 1 for a small horchata? Yes please! Mmmm… so delicious, and so rich that a small is more than plenty. The «small» here is equivalent to a Starbucks «big fat momma» size, just for some perspective.
$ 2.25 for a «grande» strawberry agua fresca (basically sugar water with real crushed/​pureed strawberries)? Oh man. This thing is as HUGE — it will NOT fit in your drink holder — as it is deliciously refreshing. Talk about getting your money’s worth.
The menu is overwhelmingly massive and entirely in Spanish. I pulled out my phone and was frantically Googling translations since the lady behind the counter was super speedy and no-​nonsense, and I felt pressured to order quickly. She also spoke minimal English, although she gave it a shot («hielo? ice?»).
Here are some things I learned in my frantic Googling:
— Platano = banana
— Rompope = «an egg-​nog like drink» with rum, eggs, milk, and vanilla
— Lechera = sweetened condensed milk
All of these (and other things) were ingredients in some amazing concoction called «Gloria,» which I definitely will be ordering next time. Tonight, I stuck with my horchata. My husband is eager to go back and try other agua frescas. And while we were in there, a family was eating something that looked like a waffle or funnel cake with crazy toppings, so clearly the menu is expansive and will require lots more trips in order to fully Google-​translate everything on it. I’ll work on that and get back to you guys.
I would give it a full five stars except that it was sort of sketchy at 9 pm on a Tuesday. I’d feel better about going here during the day.

1) New girl put way too much celery in my vampireza and it was warm, not cool
2) I also noticed that the vegetables did not look clean. I’m not 100% confident all those vegetables were washed…
3) Another girl at the register wasn’t able to process AMEX. I asked if they took amex and her response was «I don’t know»… there were 2 other people working next to her and she didn’t bother asking.
4) Place needs to be cleaned up! How can you store so many fruits and vegetables when the place is not clean?!?

How I love you!
Best place to get fruit! Very inexpensive and I love trying everything.
My favs: Mango con chile on a stick, diablito — not for the faint at heart, spicy, liquados, and of course the fruit with chile!

This is a great spot to get fresh fruit to go for much less! Fresh cut kiwi, grapefruit, coconut, strawberries, watermelon, you name it! You can get 3 fruits (med size) to go for about $ 3. Not bad!
They also have aqua frescas, which I love! Try the watermelon with lemon mixed! But, it doesn’t stop there! They also have cakes, pie, whole fruit to be purchased for less, chocolate covered strawberries, fruit smoothies, etc. I’m so glad I found this place!

They have an extensive menu and some items that are quite unique. I order the equivalent of a parfait, i forget what it was called. The item asked me to select 1 fruit and an ice cream flavor, they then proceed to add whipped cream, yougurt, granola, raisins. The other item ordered was unique, Gloria. This included egg nog, crushed ice flavored, chocolate syrup, and bananas. Some itmes can be quite pricey but they are very generous with their portions. Piece of advice study the menu and know what you want before you order it helps the lines from getting long as this is a busy place.

I’m a HUGE fan of some «off the path» place that executes what I’m looking for…
fresh FRESH fruit… YES
mixed with my liking… YES (know you’re espanol equivalent… agua = water… other things = milk, yogurt, nuts, spicy things, etc…)
WORTH my drive from Highland Park/​Preston hollow weekly to get away from the rat race; i walk in, they have fresh fruit galore, and they quickly, CHEAPLY make my WATERMELON water agua fresca so freshly for, GULP $ 3.00???
I end up tipping 5 bucks «keep the change» b/​c i’m so happy with the value/​taste/​etc of all things considered.
thank you FRUTERIA CANO

Only complaint is there is too much to choose from. Even during the winter… fresh fruit, chocolate covered strawberries, cake, and DELICIOUS strawberry/​watermelon drink.
So good and cheap.

They offer samples if you can’t make up your mind! They close at 9 sun-​thurs, and at 10 on fri/​sat.

I love this joint! I am really lucky to have something so unique and refreshing so close to my job. Nothing cools me off on a hot summer day like a giant aqua fresca (so many flavors, but watermelon and lemon are my favorite). The grande will run you about $ 2… what a deal!
The employees are always very nice and helpful, and they suffer through my poor Spanish enough to get me what I need.
They sell whole fruit, cut up fruit at kick ass low prices, and tons of other stuff that I haven’t had a chance to sample yet. You must try the fresas con crema– seriously good stuff. Be warned, if you order a large you will have enough to feed many, many people.
Easy to find in a strip shopping center on the west side of Montfort just south of Alpha.

My friend and I come often to this location for one thing: Strawberries and Cream!
aka Fresas con Crema!
We like this sweet treat as a dessert or sometimes as just an afternoon treat. Hulled strawberries mixed with a thick, creamy… uhh cream. (TWSS?)
This place also has a lot of whole fruit for sale, cut up and prepared fruits, (for more choices to be paired with the cream), and other various desserts: cakes, ice creams, agua frescas drinks. I have had horchata here, and it was cheap and refreshing on a hot summer day!
There are a couple of tables to enjoy your treats, or you can easily take it home since it is given to you in a to go container.
