" Not my favorite spot to grab a torta. While the flavors were decent, I found my service experience to be off-putting. The staff seemed overwhelmed and impolite. I think they need better training to handle busy times. The food has potential, just lacking in the execution of service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Capirucha on a whim, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision! The torta de lomo I ordered was enormous and tasted wonderful, with a spicy chipotle sauce that was just right. The only downside was the wait time, which was a bit longer than I anticipated, but the food's quality made up for it. I’ll surely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Capirucha has become a favorite of mine for its variety of Mexican snacks. I had an incredible torta and was also impressed by their watermelon juice. The atmosphere is simple but inviting, making it a likeable hangout. The prices are fair considering the quality of ingredients used. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fruteria La Capirucha offers fantastic tortas with a menu promising freshness! My chicken torta had an excellent homemade style and was very tasty. I've enjoyed several other options, too! However, the service was not the fastest, but that's probably due to the crowd. I’ll return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a bit torn about this place. The tortas are indeed delicious, especially the vegetarian option with heaps of avocado, but I found the service to be lacking during peak hours. I waited almost 40 minutes for my food, which is tough when you're short on time. However, the taste is definitely worth the wait if you have the luxury of it. Just check when they're less busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried their fresh fruit cups; they were delightful! I appreciate their commitment to maintaining quality by using fresh ingredients. I also ordered a torta, and it was equally as good. I've been told their agua fresca is a must-try; I plan to make another trip soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a little disappointed during my last visit. While I did enjoy my torta, the service was not up to par; my order took much longer than expected and there seemed to be some confusion among the staff. It seems maybe they were just having a bad day? I love the food here, especially the bionicos. I hope my next experience is better! " (*Curated Review*)
