So today, I had this mad craving for some mixed fruits and my mind was racing through possibilities of where I can hunt down a fruit cart. I was on the 5 freeway northbound coming from Bell Flower, and I decided to try my luck in East Los Angeles. So I exited on 4th Street and went right.
I was driving slowly looking for the rainbow colored umbrella, and it wasn't long until I found one in on the south side of 4th Street and West of Soto by Super A Foods. I parked in the lot conveniently located to this fruit cart, and exited with determination.
This woman didn't speak any English, so I was forced to show off my mad Spanish skills. Uno (one) mixed fruits por favor (please). I asked for a chiquita (small) size, which was huge! It was $4.
She was a professional at cutting up the fruits. She sprinkled some chili power, salt, and squeezed lime juice from freshly cut limes. It is absolutely delicious. It gives fruits a whole new meaning in this seasoning.
You should take your own fork, napkins and a plastic bag. The fork they give at these fruit carts are often very flimsy. She didn't have napkins, and you definitely need a plastic bag to prevent a leak. read more
