Maria’s does a great job in making sure you see the signs for their produce… especially their avocado special. I didn’t see Jayme’s review when I got my bag, so I am not sure if I did get 25 avocados or 14… Many of the avocados were dry. Well these were prob grown in their backyard, and its tourists like me who pull over. what do you expect right? Still $ 5 for a bag of them. not bad. Would I stop again? Probably not. 4 stars for their great«marketing» skills of luring in peeps like me

While driving down on highway 76, on our way to Pala Casino, I noticed a lot of produce stands. Many of them advertised avocados at amazing prices. Right across from Pala Casino next to Mis Cuartes Taco Shop was a sign that read«25 Avocados for $ 5». What a deal! However, upon arrival we realized why it was so cheap. Although the avocados were small that still beats any market price. They were also selling 10 small avocados for $ 2 a bag. You could buy larger ones at a larger price, which was slightly cheaper than Trader Joe’s. The cashier was very helpful and showed us the different sizes and explained the prices, which was all clearly marked. So we grabbed the 25 avocado bag and happily paid $ 5. HOWEVER, after we go home we discovered there was only 14! Really?! How do you make up a bag of 14 when you were selling them in multiples of 10 or 25?! All the bags were the same size so it’s not like the one we picked was smaller than the remaining bags. Not sure if this is a common practice of the store, but be cautious hence the low rating! I can’t give them one star because the price indicated on their sign«25 Avocados for $ 5» is a great deal, but that’s only if you get 25 avocados.
