Cesar is my homie!!…read more I used to work right across the street from this fruit stand, and would go 2-3 times a week. These bags of fruits were like my afternoon bags of crack to get me through the day! Yes, I know I'm not allowed to make a comparison to something I clearly have never done... but seriously, I can't get enough of these fruit bags! Fruits to pick from: Watermelon, pineapple, mango, orange, cantaloupe, jicama, cucumber, coconut. Top off with chili powder, salt, and lime juice. You can actually pick and choose which fruits you want, which is awesome because you can be economically strategic and pick the most expensive fruits, and still pay the same price! Each bag is $3 to $5 depending on what size you want; I always get the $3 bag and it is always more than enough. Compare this to the $5-$10 you spend at Ralphs on a little bowl of mixed fruit! It's a steal! What I love about Cesar is that he lets me be picky! I like my mangoes green, crunchy, and as unripe as possible. He caters to my needs and searches around his stash for the greenest mango he could find. Additionally, I like my fruit heavy on chili powder... AKA I use up half his bottle of chili powder, and he doesn't mind. Even though I no longer work across the street and am unable to go every other day, I still pay Cesar a visit on Saturday afternoons after my workout, and he still remembers exactly how I like my fruit. Sometimes I tip him a dollar or two to show him how happy he makes me.

Yummy!! Yes fruit…read morestands are pretty much all the same but Cesar himself was very friendly and efficient. I got fruit for each member of the family, and each one had their own preferences. He was very quick at preparing each plastic box while listening to what I was requesting. I found him in front of Best Buy which made parking easy. Very reasonable prices. I will be back for future lunches!!

I was just too lazy to create a Yelp page until today because I was hoping that someone else would. Nobody ever did BTW, therefore I created the page, dammit! Anyways, what can I say other than that this is probably the best $5 you will spend on Mid-Wilshire. Maria mans - I mean "womans" - this fruit stand attached to a pickup truck that is parked in front of Wells Fargo between 9AM to 4PM. Just be warned that she is not set up until 9:30ish though because she needs the prep time to cut up all the fruit. Sadly, she can't extend her hours because on this strip of Wilshire there is a fascist tow-away anti-gridlock policy from 7 to 9 AM and 4 to 7 PM where the meter maid dickbutts work in connivance with the chilitos from Viertel's to tow people away like no other. On any given day, except Sunday when she takes the day off, Maria has at least ten fruits to make a fruit salad out of. Everything from cantaloupes, mangos, and pineapples to off-the-beaten-path stuff like papayas, coconuts, and jicamas (I believe jicama is a root that tastes like a cross between a daikon radish and a turnip and is technically not a fruit, but who cares!). Moreover, to cater to the entitled millennial crowd, Maria even allows you to pimp your fruit salad by choosing which fruits you want - all at no additional cost. For example, if you just want honeydew melóns, you can get only honeydew melóns. Also, if you have a weird allergy to watermelon or some other fruit like a cabron, you can request to not have that fruit added as well. I for one, always get a little of everything with extra crunchy green mango. The small is $3 or $4 (not 100% sure of the price) since I always get the large because you get more bang-for-your-buck for $5. Oh and it's CASH ONLY. I also like to add a little chili and lime salt to my fruit medley to create a sweet, sour, and spicy taste-station (taste sensation). So, if you like fruits or are on a diet, definitely stop by Fruta Fresca and have Maria "toss" you up a fruit "salad" for you. If you become a regular, it helps to tip her a $1 for added fruit. I think she likes me because I speak Spanish to her... then again, she might think I'm just an annoyance the way Freddy from House of Cards entertained Frank Underwood out of pity. * Having just come back from Honolulu, there are more fruit options at this cart in the middle of Koreatown than the KCC Farmer's Market and all the ABC stores combined.

After visiting several fruit stands in the area, so far I would have to say that the vendor on the…read morecorner of pico and fairfax is the best. And by best i mean most for your money. The fruit is generally good at all the stands, although the mango may be a bit tough occasionally. Usually, the price ranges from $3-$5 dollars. However, depending on the vendor you may get your baggy of fruit filled only half way after paying full price, or you may pay the minimum and get twice as much as before. Either way, the guessing game is over with this guy on Pico. Give him five bucks, and he fills the bag to the brim every time. sure thing. The vendor next to the BofA on fairfax and wilshire does a good job as well, but, having just gone to the pico/fairfax location today...i'm still partial to him...

I highly highly recommend to order the fresh fruit with chile and limes, like the Mexican style…read morefruits. The combination is very delicious! She was very good at picking out the freshest fruit, cut them up, and portion appropriately. I ordered a lot of variety of fruit and she was willing to fulfill my request. The portion is very huge, for just $5 for the large portion. Since it's worth every single penny, I decided to give her $6 total, as it's in no way worth only $5. I have zero worries about food poisoning and stuff since 1) the fruit is very very fresh 2) they are handled properly 3) she takes off her gloves to handle money and gets a new glove to serve the next customer, so that's very clean.

Not only did I love the actual, delicious product, I love the idea of being able to go grab some cut up, spiced up fruit as a mid-afternoon snack, instead of the usual junk (and, yes I do bring my own fruit to work, and no, it is not the same).
