Fruit Stand

When I’m feeling particularly disgusting from carbo loading like the weight lifter that I’m not, I head over here for a healthy lunch of fruit.
I enjoy its convenience of being next to Wells Fargo, allowing me to grab some cash from the ATM. While the line may sometimes be long at lunch, I find it entertaining to witness him cut up the fruit masterfully, making me aware of my own awful kitchen skills.
I give him 5 stars because he has plastic cups and boxes for easy fruit transport (as opposed to a plastic bag), making me feel less like a hobo at my desk.

Favorite fruit stand guy! Fresh, tart, spicy fruit for $ 5, who doesn’t love these guys!!! He serves your fruit in plastic containers over plastic bags, which I appreciate (less messy while eating in car). Wish we had one of these guys in Hawthorne!

Support small and local businesses! =) located on the corner of Motor and Washington in front of Wells Fargo.
I love this fruit stand and the guy who owns/​works the stand is super nice, a professional fruit cutter and he’s funny =) Like everyone else says, all the fruits are actually sweet and fresh!
$ 4 for a big cup and $ 5 for a big box — you get to pick any and as many different fruit as you want! He also has salt and chili if you wanna add that too. I usually just get the cup and that fills me up.

I’VE NEVER GOTTEN SICK FROM EATING HERE!
People are usually very concerned with buying fruits from the fruit stand, because they don’t know how clean the stand is or how fresh the fruits are. I can’t tell you the answer to either, but I can tell you that no one I know has gotten remotely close to sick from eating the fruit purchased at this stand.
The guy who sells the fruit is very nice. He usually fills the $ 4 cup or $ 5 box packed with fruit. There’s a large selection of fruits you can choose from– orange, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, coconut, watermelon, cucumber, and jicama + salt/​chili/​lime juice as additions. He always cuts the fruit very nicely, so there’s never any coconut skin on the fruit or pieces that are not bite size. The fruit i’ve gotten have always been pretty sweet and of good quality.
Sometimes when I’m not very hungry, I’d just get a cup of fruit for lunch. I’d be full after, but feeling extremely healthy. The $ 5 box he sells can feed 2 – 3 people. Totally worth it!

Mmmm I love fruits :) I work right across the street so sometimes I would come to the cart for a quick snack or if I’m not too hungry during lunch, I would get a fruit cup.
It is $ 4 for a big cup (a little smaller than a big gulp 711 slurpee) and $ 5 for a takeout box-​size portion. You can have your choice of orange, cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew, coconut, cucumber, jicama, pineapple, and mango. And they top it with salt, lime and chili. However, I prefer to just get a cup of fruit without the salt, lime, and chili. I personally get the cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew, and mango. I don’t get the orange and pineapple because the other fruits would offset their flavors and make it really sour.
Overall, all the fruits have been REALLY fresh and sweet. Love it! And I always get really really full off it and at the same time feeling really healthy! :)

Sliced mango, coconut and honeydew melon. Little salt, lots of lime and chili. That’s my breakfast of kings right there, gets me going.
One unfortunate aspect to the fruit carts is that the stock is typically hit or miss. Some have mango, some don’t and it’s the same with everything else, you kind of have a crap shoot when it comes to what fruits will be available. Not here though, the guy has almost every single day: mango, coconut, honeydew, cantaloupe, cucumber, pineapple, jicama, watermelon, orange. Every day, no kidding, and with it being directly outside my place of business this cart is pretty much perfect in every way.
The gentleman that runs it is the nicest guy on the block. If something is a little unripe he will keep it real and let you know. Just this morning he sliced me off a piece of mango so I could judge for myself, very kind of him instead of just unloading the mango. I went pineapple instead. I talk to him in broken Spanish, he talks to me in broken English, and somehow it all works out. Bonus points for not filling the fruit in plastic bags either, he uses plastic to-​go containers which are much easier to eat from, and no worries on it tipping over if you’re driving. He has small $ 3 boxes up to a $ 5 size, and if you’re a fan of fresh coconut water (like me) he’ll crack one open and fill you a cup for $ 1.
Everything that comes out of this stand screams ‘refreshing’, I love it. I know he works about 9:30A — 4:00P on weekdays simply because he’s in the prefect place with a ton of office traffic, don’t know if he works weekends. Look for him right outside the parking lot of the Wells Fargo, located on Washington Blvd. And don’t forget to tip!
