Most fruit carts are relatively similar. You need to go out of your way to find vendors who sell different fruit (e.g. jackfruit or papaya). This guy is pretty "standard" with mangoes, watermelon, pineapple, jicama, coconut, cucumber, cantaloupe, and oranges. Like the others, you can add salt, lemon, Tajin, etc.
Prices: $5 for the really big cup, $7 for the tray. Tip him.
Your tray will be full of fruit and will probably be at least two servings unless you have an absolutely heroic amount of stomach space.
As to why 4 and not 5 stars: I'm comparing this guy to the fruit cart on Sawtelle by the Best Buy. Whereas the Sawtelle guy (same prices) cuts around the core of the pineapple, this seller doesn't. It's mostly just an issue with the pineapple: you get core, and the thorns that border the flesh aren't all cut out so the texture isn't quite as good.
Still a very generous portion. Park at the Ace Hardware and hop onto the sidewalk for a huge fruit salad. read more
