Farm Fresh Ranch Market

The BEST prices ever on produce and meat. The bakery is pretty awesome too… hot, fresh rolls six for a dollar! If you can get over the fact that it’s mighty ugly on the outside… and just as ugly on the inside… you’ll be happy you did your shopping at Farm Fresh.

Say it with me: Ralph’s sucks. Sure, you can get a shiny, wax-​coated Red Delicious there, but what if you want real food? And what if you don’t want to pay $.59 for a lime?
Cue Farm Fresh Rancher’s Market, the best grocery store in Hollywood. Not only is the produce «farm fresh» (who are the ad wizards who came up with this one?), but it’s ridiculously cheap — six lbs of yellow onions for $ 1, four lbs of plantains for $ 1. Those are not exaggerations.
And where else are you gonna get that honeycomb tripe for your Sunday BBQ?
They specialize in all foodstuffs Latin American, but cater to the Armenian crowd as well. Pretty much anything you could ever want for a Mexican feast (dozens of varieties of dried peppers, banana leaves, that nasty shit that passes for Mexican candy, etc) is available in spades.
I suggest picking up a cow tongue and cooking up some lengua tacos. Seriously.
UPDATE:
It was a very sad day when I rode my bike over to Farm Fresh the other day — everything was 20% off and the shelves were empty. My favorite grocery store in L. A is getting turned into a Target.
Boo fucking hoo. I really don’t know what else to say. :(
