Such a wonderful experience. We tried the carnitas at Kiko Jr., and all I can say is you absolutely cannot skip this place.

Love stopping here for shopping, fresh juice and some tacos while in TJ. Parking is reasonable and…read moreprices over all not bad. Not the cheapest in TJ, but having all the options in once place is nice. Pro tip: have pesos ready for prepaid parking at kiosks. Once by restrooms and one near north entrance. Maybe more, but only two I'm familiar with. Multiple exits for prepaid tickets, but only one if you don't have exact change.

We stop by The Fruit Stand every week for our fruit and vegetable run, and it has become a beloved…read morepart of our routine. They consistently carry some of the best-quality produce currently available from San Diego and the surrounding areas, thoughtfully curated with real care. Misses are rare, and when something isn't right, they always make it right. What really sets this place apart is the knowledgeable team. They can tell you not just what something is, but where it's from, why it's special, and even how best to prepare it if it's new to you. They know which watermelon varietals are sweetest (and why), which tomatoes are best for different uses, and how to guide you toward the best choice of the day. We also appreciate the simplicity of the space. It's clear the focus is on quality produce rather than unnecessary overhead or décor that doesn't add to flavor or nutrition. We come in knowing our weekly staples, and we always look forward to discovering a surprise treat or seasonal treasure to add to the basket. We recently lived in Spain for a year and deeply miss the fruterías found on every corner, places that genuinely support daily health and well-being. In the U.S., truly good produce can be harder to find, with so much emphasis on mass production and appearance over flavor and nutrition. The Fruit Stand comes as close as we've found to that European produce experience. We're grateful this place exists and grateful for the care they put into what they offer. Thank you for being here--and we'll see you next week.

How will I force myself to eat grocery store berries ever again??? It's a serious question. I saw they had some salsas and honey and other local items which is great. They do accept card payment and have outside bins set up with different selections too. Friendly staff and quick to help you. I'll be back.

I will never forget the smell of fresh herbs and so many wonders. Many wise choices if you are looking for the Santa Muerte. Lots of cinnamon to chamomile to everything your mind can wonder.

I did end up buying a bunch of items and ordered a fruit bowl from the stand inside. There was a bit of miscommunication about how to order. The person in the booth told me to order with the cashier. When I got to the cashier, she asked if I had already placed the order. I explained that the person at the booth directed me to her so I could order and pay. Meanwhile, another customer received their item and paid at the front, so it was a little confusing. I rushed through the store so I could get the fruit bowl started. I ordered the small #3 fruit bowl, but unfortunately most of the fruit in my bowl wasn't very sweet. On the positive side, the produce section was well stocked and prices seemed competitive. If we are in the area we would stop by again.
