The Place: Frutos
Prohibidos: The Upscale Health Food Option!
The Experience: Frutos Prohibidos is an established clean cut chain of health food restaurants which almost seems out of place in Mexico City and more appropriate for London or New York, attracting a posh crowd that tend to bring along their pure breed dogs for breakfast and lunch.
All of the locations seem to be made out of the same
cookie-cutter mold with the same white and wood floor store layout, digital
system that assigns you a number when you pay and order your food at the
register … but it must be said the prices are decent and most of the sandwiches
and smoothies are tasty with decent portions.
I enjoyed the Monroe smoothie with cacao and the turkey sandwich
was quite nice … the salads however sometimes leave something to be desired. An
OK option for a quick healthy bite if you are around one of their locations.
The Location Gringo G went to: Avenida Amsterdam 244B, corner with Calle Michoacán
(on the eastern side of the Amsterdam Loop), Colonia Hipódromo Condesa, DF.
