Chicho Boys Fruit Market

It is a little drive from the northside, but worth the time and effort to get there. Fresh produce at the top deals in town. Readily half the price of HEB, perhaps less. Great quality, friendly service from a San Antonio family owned and run make business.

Cute place. I am new in town and went here to buy local honey. Based on the reviews, I was also thinking I might get awesome fresh produce. But, hardly anything was labeled «organic.» I got good deals on garlic, avocados, and cantaloupe, but since I really want to buy organic produce — especially things on the dirty dozen lists — at good prices, I’m not sure this place is worth a regular drive (gas costs too) for me.

I loves me some Chicho Boys! Can that be my whole review? I feel it states everything I feel about this place. I love it. They have some of the cheapest produce around and I love the eclectic mix of locals and yocals that come in here. It is a small market and it sometimes gets a little cramped so please be patient and kind. Only a handful of times have I ever been disappointed by the produce or the selection but those times are few and far between. I come here as often as I can.

Great prices, but not so sweet fruits. I usually just get the apples and potato’s here after trying out the fruits.

My favorite place to get produce in SouthTown.
I can spend $ 15 – 20 dollars here and have fresh fruit & vegetables for the week.
Fueling my love for Cold Press Juicing.

This place is a gem! Its smells so fresh and its well kept. My favorite snack from here is the delicious Fresas con Crema they make! You can order raspas, fresh cut fruit and other little snacks from the little kitchen space they have in the back right corner of the store. Its a great place to find fresh fruits and vegatables for a really inexpensive price. Its also a great place to get an afternoon snack while you shop! :)

Luv, luv, luv this place. Clean, great selection and exceptional pricing!!! And shame on you Unilocal for allowing an ad from HEB and Walmart to be right in Chicho Boys space here indicating HEB and Walmart might have comparable pricing; they must pay you lots of $$$ to do that. Still doesn’t keep Chicho Boys from rocking.

I visit often. I would prefer to visit 2 times each week. They are easy to find, ample parking and they have a restroom. They make amazing fruit cups and strawberry dessert cups! Great prices on veggies and fruits. They sell produce by the case as well as the pound or individually. Super customer service! Friendly staff is always working there! They offer optimal health food from nature that is affordable enough to keep the whole family in great health! They’ve been open for over 35 years. They know their produce!!! See you there!

I love this place– I eat lots of fresh veggies and fruits but as an independent student it gets so expensive. I live on the NW side in the medical center and its STILL worth it for me to come over to this market for my produce– I can easily only spend around $ 20 for two weeks worth of my veggies/​fruits. The prices are amazing and they have a great selection of produce.

A hidden West Side gem. Chicho Boys is my go to place for friendly fruit shopping. This place is so un-​intimidating. I love the selection and the ethnic varieties of items. You head to the back of the Market and can get yourself a fruit cup or raspa made right before your eyes. The prices on some items are a steal while others are comparable but if they get a surplus you best believe it will be your lucky day. I love this place.

Great prices! Not everything is cheaper, so do your homework to ensure you’re getting a deal. Great find!

I had high hopes after reading the reviews but a little disappointed. Many of the prices were good but I don’t know if it would be worth it to drive there if you live a ways away. I’m not sure of which kind of apple he was referring to, but my husband said that it lacked flavor. Walmart and HEB’s prices could rival theirs.

This place rocks!!!
I hate that it so far away, but so be it! Follow them on Facebook because they will always post deals that they have. Every other week it seems like they get an influx of ripe bananas and they sell them for $ 4 for a 40-​lb box! They have weekly ads, I always try to go when fruit is on sale! Never had an issue with parking or anything. I love this place. Just wish it was a tad bit closer.

I’m a regular at this place… it’s right off 35 exit and convenient location. i saw on other reviews it said that it is a sketchy part of town… while that is true– it’s right off the exit so you arent really going into that side of town so i really wouldnt say that’s an issue. Prices are GREAT here for seasonal items. They also have a fruit stand in the back where you can make fruit cups. My only complaint would be that sometimes the fruit is awesome quality and sometimes it’s lesser. However, I would and do continue to shop there because the staff is awesome and the prices cant be beat (oh and they offer military discount).

It has really good section of super cheap organic produce. They have just about everything. The downfall is that it’s located a rough area of San Antonio. Parking is limited too

What a great little market. The parking lot is a tad on the smaller side so just use caution when entering and exiting.
All produce is organized and labeled well with prices.
The pricing is excellent. I bought 2 apricots, 3 pears, 2pints blueberries, 6 bananas, 3 sweet potatoes, a honeydew, a catolope, a small watermelon, a head of iceberg lettuce, 2 green and 1 yellow zucchini, a bag of red grapes, 2 huge cucumber, and 3 small onions at for a little over $ 16. The quality of the produce was excellent. I would have very easily doubled or tripled that at HEB.
The interior is small and a little run down, but that didn’t bother me at all. The cashier was extremely friendly. They offer a 10% military discount which is awesome especially on top of the already great deal
you are getting.
They also have a fruit stand to the back where you can order cups of fresh fruit to eat right there.

I came to this hidden gem yesterday and declared it my new go to for produce. The fruit and veggies are nicely displayed and they even have organic! The employees are helpful in finding what you need and there’s also a small stand in the back that sells fruit cups and other made to order items. Be sure to keep in mind that this place closes at 6:30 PM. I ended up walking out with so much for only $ 11. Where else are you going to find a box of 14 mangoes for just $ 3.99!!! I’m definitely going to spread the word to all my family and friends, I suggest you do the same :)

Amazing! A coworker let me in on the little secret that is Chicho Boys and I am SO happy she did. As someone new to juicing and very excited about it (but less excited about the produce costs associated with it), Chicho Boys is a godsend. So much of what they have is very competitively priced and great quality. There was a lot more variety than I expected — though organic produce is a bit lacking, I will say — and some of it is even local! Walked away with enough produce for two for a week for about 20 bucks. This will be a regular stop for me on my way home from work.

Do yourself a favor and get over there! You won’t find better prices on fruits and veggies anywhere else. They’re conveniently located right off the highway for quick get-​in, get-​out access. They do close pretty early so check their hours before you go. You may want to get there in the morning, they were out of onions and potatoes on my last visit, which was close to closing time.

I love this place. Very good deal of produce, which is normally quite pricey. I came here before to stock up once before I went on a juice cleanse. Those can be really expensive with all of the fresh juice one is supposed to drink per day!
They say that organic produce is preferable on juice cleanses, but your body will still cleanse and utilize nutrients that aren’t organic!
Did I mention they have an awesome fruit cup section in the back? :-) they even sell their own t-​shirts!
The only sad thing that comes to mind is that Chicho Boys isn’t open on Sundays… Bummer.
