Not a typical grocery store but a market per se with wide selection of fruits and vegetables. Come prepared it is warm to say the least but the merchandise was very organized and quite delicious once we were back home. We received a lot of food for what we paid and we'll return soon. Everyone was very helpful and it made the trip very enjoyable even meet the manager/owner he super nice. A slight drawback is for first timers like ourselves is finding the location but now we have there's no turning back. To manager yes we did buy a yellow meat watermelon as you suggested.

As they were out of that variety when I showed up. Everything else I wanted was there and fresh. There was some sort of small vendor event going on but I arrived at the time of vendors closing up shop. I would recommend this place and will be back on my next trip.

Dallas Farmers Market is a fun place to take in the ambiance and people watch. Okay, it seems kind…read moreof weird that I didn't mention food, but it's because you don't necessarily need to eat the food to enjoy this place. With lots of produce, food and gift stalls, you can find something for everyone. From fresh fruit and vegetables, to jarred spreads and sauces, there is no shortage of things to look at. But be prepared for lots of people. We had reservations for a meal after hitting this place, so I didn't try any foods. It was more about walking around and checking out the sights. I'm sure at some point I'll be back, but I would set a budget. It seems like stuff could get really expensive if you're not careful.

Not what I expected. It was disappointing. We did find a cool place that was selling picnic baskets and we got one . It's nice to visit if you're looking to eat out but that place has nothing to do with farmer's market and fresh produce. Folks that work there are nice .

We are in a heat wave and it was still the best broth I've ever had. I can't wait until winter to sit by a fire and sip on that! I also got broth for pets for my grand dogs. They are going to love it!! There's no onion or garlic so it will be easily digestible for them. I walked away from there with 8 sticks, broths and lard. Ohhhhhh, the jalapeño broth is soooo good too. And nice little kick on the back end. I can't wait to try each of items I bought! Joanne is a wealth of information and so friendly and interesting. Go check this place out and "stock" up on some great stuff for your health and your soul.

The chili was great as well, true Texas chili without beans, it was delicious, but only slightly spicy. The other soups and stocks looked really good as well. They even have a window where you can see into the kitchen where they make it all. Definitely recommend trying it.

***Update to reply to management: Consumers should be able…read moreto make informed decisions about what they're purchasing especially with the recent Cyclospora outbreak affecting produce. My issue is not that the berries are repackaged nor is it about whether berries are in season locally. My concern is the lack of transparency. To me, the presentation and lack of labeling/pricing feel misleading as a customer. For example, if commercially grown berries (such as pesticide heavy Driscolls) are repackaged into open fruit baskets and sold in a store called a farmers market with no labels, pricing, signage, or disclosure of their source unless someone specifically asks, a customer could assume they're locally grown. (I'm using Driscoll's only as an example as again, I have no idea what brand you actually sell.) There's also a food safety concern. Repackaging produce into unlabeled containers removes Traceability customers rely on. If a specific lot was recalled because of an outbreak, how would customers know whether the berries they purchased were affected? I don't work for the Texas Department of Agriculture, so I'm not claiming any of these is a violation but the lack of transparency could raise consumer protection concerns. At the end of the day I simply believe customers deserve clear information about what they're buying. I hope this helps. * Original review: Super disappointed to find out the berries on the table by checkout are not local farms but instead Repackaged Driscoll or local Walmart strawberries / blueberries / raspberries ): what the heck! They're in open plastic bags in cute little baskets

I've never had a bad experience at La Fiesta Fruits. The service is always great. The portions…read moreare hearty, and the prices are reasonable. The tortas are delicious. The chicken soup is probably the best I've had anywhere, and I go out of my way to get it when I'm sick. They also have a wide variety of freshly squeezed juices and fresh fruit bowls. They offer a pretty big range of menu options from healthy to greasy, and I can't imagine that anyone could ever leave dissatisfied. It's hard to believe La Fiesta Fruits isn't more popular around lunchtime. It's conveniently located in the West End. It's hard to see, but it's in the same building as Chipotle. If you go through the entrance, Chipotle is on the right, and La Fiesta Fruits is on the left. For some reason, the Chipotle is always packed, but there's never a line at La Fiesta, so I guess that's a bonus. This was one of my lunch staples when I worked downtown. It's definitely worth a try if you work in the area, and you'll kick yourself for not trying it sooner.

what we thought were 2 yellow watermelons for $18 EACH…read more When we got home (35 min. drive) one of them was red center but we paid of course for yellow center, my mother doesn't drive so we went back a day later with a third of watermelon because family members ate a portion. Mind you, you don't know what color it is until you cut into it which they wanted the whole watermelon returned which we returned a 1/3 at which they stated: then stated they should give us a 1/3 yellow watermelon back. Fine then they should pay for my gas for1 hr. Round trip and MY TIME AND THE DISTRESS to correct WHAT THEY WRONGFULLY SCREWED UP which till this day they never apologized for. I'm truly thinking at this point that they did it on purpose knowing we probably didn't live there and it's just assume we would not bring it back. They were extremely cold, Unapologetic, And hateful 1) We don't do exchanges or refunds or returns straight up, letting us know they were not going to do anything. At this point, we are irate seeing they absolutely DID NOT CARE why we were upset by their mistake. They treated my niece who is a lawyer like trash thinking she was about to steal watermelon from them before we bought. So the treatment was worse when asking them to correct their mistake. There was no apology! It was "Give them people the watermelon and get them out of my shop" Just short of the "n" word and don't come back which we will gladly OBLIGE!!! Racism at its finest. It is not hidden in any manor. They smile when you buy which is why the black guy is there so they don't have to deal with you or they assume you are there to steal. Oh, the claimed my niece Who they thought was a thief, two days before. Went back to speak to them the day before we returned to exchange the watermelon, and claimed that she was rude to them. She's the most tactful unrude person there is. She's a lawyer, and she knows how to speak with you without raising a Voice and without being rude. That is not her demeanor. Why people go out there way to treat those who are not their kind rudely is beyond comprehension. They went out of their way to berate, belittle, and talk down to us like he is God (owner). It was traumatizing. Oh, the Lady, we spoke to would say she was very respectful. She started out with a harsh, We don't do refunds, We're not exchanging. We don't do that, But I'll call my boss. At that point. My mother was irate and cursed at her, as I got rude once we Realized they weren't gonna do anything at that point things got real. As a retailer, they should understand that when you're coming in with a complaint, that's not the first thing you say to them: We're not doing anything. It was bad Customer service all the way around, but I have a feeling had we been Latino we would have been received differently. Hopefully your treatment will be met with kindness if there is in issue. They are great at taking your money happily. Anyway, Isn't taking back food, a code violation of some sort?

I picked up fresh lobster tail for a reasonable price and was very impressed when the deli man asked if I wanted it on ice! Of course since I live a little ways out. This is an elevated grocery store with so much unique finds you won't see at any other grocery store (quail egg's & fresh octopus!) Another plus I love (and the reason I'll frequent more often) is their $1 roses! I love fresh flowers at home so I'll be returning to make my own bouquet. Plus the customer service is great too! So many staff happy and willing to help.
