A & Z Nut Wagon

I am really glad I went into this little store. I love family owned businesses.
I bought three bags of nuts for about five dollars each. This is cheaper than the market would have charged me and the one bag I kept was fresh. I have the other two bags to my grandpa and he was very happy. I got a rather good deal for the cashews. I will definitely go back for more nuts, but next time will be BEEF JERKY TIME!
The man who owned the place was kind and talked to me about the history of the place. Told me to park at the gas station if I couldn’t find parking next time. Sweet.

Little quaint store, lots of nuts. Here you’ll find pine nuts, walnuts corn nuts pinions.
Roasted peanuts, candid ginger, mango. Candy, sodas. All individually package. As you enter the store beware it sounds like an alarm it’s so loud but the gentleman behind the counter is friendly. Store has been there for 80 years.

This is the oh gee spot. If you don’t go here you will not go down in history and your life will be like a work day every day and you hate your job.

Really good beef jerky! Small mom and pop business that sells really good stuff ! Perfect snacks for camping, going to the beach, and baseball games. The owner was really nice, will definitely be back

I’m so appreciative that this place is still up and running… being that I am a huge beef jerky fan!
I used to come here when I was a little girl with my dad in the late 80’s. This was the place to go when you wanted AUTHENTIC BEEF JERKY! It’s thick, fresh and peppered! Nom nom nom! Yummy yummy for my tummy!
They have hella nuts, dried fruits and all kinds of snacks for affordable prices. Each bag is like Anywhere from $ 1 – 5.
If you are here for the beef jerky… They weigh it, and price it upon the weight. I usually get a bag worth $ 5, and its a good size. (In my opinion better than ANY $ 5 bag you get at the markets)
Def worth the trip if you are fiendin’ for some bomb beef jerky! It’s CASH ONLY so bring them dollars!
There is no parking (it’s a small place painted burgundy next to an arco gas station), so I usually will get lucky and park right in front or park in the gas station parking lot. I’ve never had a problem.
ENJOY!

So great to see this place is still open. When I was real young (late 1980’s, early 1990;s), I would go to Dodger games with my dad and we would stop in here on our way to the ballpark. I love the sunflower seeds and peanuts, but the beef jerky is like nothing you will ever taste; so delicious.

Best beef jerky ever! It’s a little spicy but it’s perfect that way! It’s a little expensive but worth it.
The dried fruit and nuts are also great too.

I saw this place on tv on «channel 7s eye on LA» and since I visit the area frequently I thought I would try it out! I got the beef jerky and I thought it was good, really thick like your eating asada! I think it’s a little expensive for the amount so buy more the better! They have lots of other nuts and dried fruits that are worth it so I would go back again for that for sure! They have a «B» rating when I went but it looks clean and organized so I’m not complaining. Also I kinda got scared cuz when you open the door an alarm goes off so it makes you think you’re breaking in, hehe… =)

I make sure to stop by here every time I’m back in SoCal. The beef jerky is thee best I’ve ever had and have to bring several pounds of it back to Texas when I go back home. Can’t help but pick up some pistachios, pine nuts, and dried fruit too. The owner is super cool as well and remembers me every time I visit. :-)

More nuts than congress! This is a fantastically unassuming mom & pop show that sells a large variety of nuts and dried fruit. I needed macadamia nut for brittle, and they gave me a great price per lb. Highly recommend this spot. The only challenge is the lack of parking, but most of the time its not really an issue.

A year later I’m in Texas and still have it overnighted to me! Nothing even compares… best beef jerky EVER! :)

The best beef jerky in the hood… I FFFNNNNN love it…

Funky old place — Mom & Pop operation for a long time.
Huge variety of fruits, nuts, candies and such. Some different stuff from what you typically find in health food stores, Sprouts & Trader Joes. Worth checking out.
Lots of Los Angeles Boxing memorabilia on the walls.
The beef jerky is $ 8/​lb and is really good. That is close to the price that I pay when I make my own.
Park down the alley in the grocery store parking lot. Parking in front of the store or in the gas station next door is really not possible.

I got some spicy roasted garbanzo beans and some spicy roasted corn. The garbanzo beans were kinda ehh but the corn was wonderful. It had a little, oily, corny flavor that cut the spice a little and was just wonderful. Very interesting.
Next time I gotta try the jerky. And what a cool old style Coke cooler!

From the hard to find items to your everyday salted peanuts, this place has it all. I come here a couple times a month for one thing an one thing only… THE BEEF JERKY! I am a HUGE Beef Jerky fan and this place is the best around… yes I’ve tasted better but not in Southern California that’s for sure. So if your looking for some really good and fresh Jerky, come by the A & Z Nut House, they got what you need!
Honorable Mention: Beef Jerky!

I never thought I’d say this but there’s nothing like a mouth full of Japanese Nuts
=O
It’s a small place but if you want a variety of Nuts, Dried Fruits, Chocolate Covered… this guy’s probably got it!
Tamarindo —
Best tamarindo I’ve had was from Puebla, this one was not quite as good but still pretty good. 4-​Stars
Chile Pistachios —
Out of the shell and covered in chile, Mmmmm 5-​Stars
Jamoncillo —
Say What… I said Jamoncillo, it’s like a Mexican fudge but not made with chocolate, it was soft and I prefer it more firmer but did taste real good, 4-​Stars

This place is so awesome. the jerky is the best! They only have one flavor. Chili/​pepper. he keeps it in the back of the counter in a tub. So u gotta ask! I also get the honey-​sweet mango so yummy!!! This place is in the hood and is the best gem in los angeles. Theres not alot of places like this so I for sure drive the 6 miles out there totally worth it. The owner is so nice too!

This place is has the BEST beef jerky in LA! I always make an effort to stop by this place on the way to Orange County. The man working there is so friendly. Its all about the beef there. I dont know how he does it or what he puts in it, but Im lucky if I dont finish $ 10 worth by the time I get to OC! Great deal, tons of other great nuts, candies, ect. But this place is a gem in Los Angeles.

I live in the neighborhood and i never bothered to try it out because im not a fan of jerky. But one of my friends loves jerky and decided she had to come in for a jerky fix before leaving town. Always willing to try something new I came with. The place is really small and there isn’t parking to speak of, your best bet is the gas station next door. Walking into the shop you feel like your stepping back in time, lots a memorabilia, photos hung on the walls, very cool. Now I’m not a fan of jerky but i do love nuts! and this place has about every kinda nut i could think of as well as dried fruit. As for the jerky, it’s probably the best I’ve tasted! It taste like dried Carne Asada, it’s thicker than most jerky and not tough on your teeth. The service is über friendly and they really do remember your face if your a regular customer. This is place is great!

After reading the reviews, I stopped by this place. The jerky was inexpensive, being $ 1/​ounce, however, it was only seasoned with salt and pepper, a little too salty for my taste.
The only parking available, if you’re lucky, are two spots on the street, in front of the store or by using some of the parking spaces at the gas station next door.
I do love jerky and had eaten lots of it, good and bad, from ebay and many other places. The jerky here is ok. Think of it as the «first» jerky, when the process of making jerky was first discovered, during a time when we didn’t have refrigeration and the only way to preserve meat for an extended period of time was by salting and drying. Oh, not to mention that exotic flavors from the Far East, like soy sauce, have yet to make their trip across the ocean. That is what this jerky tastes like, good’olé dried salted beef. Interestingly… eventhough its just salted beef, its quite addictive.
As for the other stuff they carried, I’d say they are price competitive to Trader Joes.
