Mine is sandia, mango y piña con limon y tajin, tell me yours?
Translated, that’s watermelon, mango and pineapple with lime and tajin which, if you don’t know, is a very mildly spicy chili lime salt, but you definitely need the extra fresh lime to really get it all souped up together imho
If you’re new to the carts, many take card or Venmo! Don’t forget to tip your cart vendor!

Can’t skip on the chamoy!!
how much you paying for your fruta?
mango, watermelon and jicama. lemon and chili powder no chamoy.
Are there anyone allergic to mango?
I can’t have anything that shares knife and cutting board with mango.
Fruit stands looks fun, but I’ve never tried.
My last fruit cart trip was in Inglewood (83rd & Van Ness) and I got a large square plastic to-go container for $10. It took me two days to eat.
All the fruits. Extra mango. Cucumber. Don’t skimp on the jicama. I’ll pass on all the additions of chamoy, tajin and lime.
Mango, pineapple, watermelon, and cantaloupe with lime juice. The guy in front of True Value on Bundy, just north of Olympic is $8 for the small.
Watermelon, pineapple, mango. Plain.
Every fruit (and vegetable, if you want to call cucumber and jicama that) they offer on the cart is good for me. Add lime and Tajin. Chamoy only if I’m feeling sassy.
Hot take: fruit cart is the best food in the city, and maybe the world.
Mango and pineapple is the standard, then I add in a random 3rd fruit. Lime, tajin, and a little bit of chamoy
I’ve been buying fruit from carts for 12+ years and I’ve never once tipped. I didn’t even know that was a thing. One year I probably bought it over 100 times from the same cart nearly every day on my way to work, solo mango with a shitload of pico de gallo every time. I sure do miss the days of the $5 bolsa grande.
Todo menos melón por fa
I get all the fruit and vegetables with all the toppings.
Mango, pineapple, watermelon, cucumber, jicama, limon, tajin. But I usually forego tajin when I share it with my kids.
Does anyone know if these fruit carts have a specific name? $8 small, $10 large in Pasadena.
Lemon, salt and Valentina
O man crushed one of these after a run on a hot day once. Un grande con todo. Hit the spot like nothing else could.
I can’t. I live where fruit has been destroyed by the time it is trucked to PA. A fruit wasteland.
The ones from 2 years ago when it was still $5 instead of $10 ☹️
These carts started showing up in my neighborhood a few years ago in the SGV and shortly thereafter, I saw a post about them pop up on Next Door and I thought “oh here we go…”, but I was shocked to read how much pushback there was to the one negative skrunkly post “I’d rather my kids go there there and buy fruit than the C store and buy junk food” was the main takeaway. Maybe there is hope after all.
Watermelon, mango, and jicama with lime tajin and chamoy
where in the good goddamn is your jicama??
Pepino, sandía, mango, coconut, tajin, chamoy, limón 🤤.
Coco, jicama, pepino, y mango. Chile y limon. PICOSO
😍con todo extra chile and lemon please.
Too expensive: how much yall paying for this now?
Jícama, pepino, naranja, sandía.
The fruit carts are an under appreciated part of everyday life in LA.
Mango, sandía, and occasionally cucumber.
I go tray. No orange. No honeydew. Just a couple of coconut. And then extra whatever looks bomb.
