Fruit cart

$5 bag of fruit. Up the block near Santa Monica Blvd and Barry street, there's one of those Latino fruit carts. I think the photo doesn't give this justice, but inside is watermelon, pineapple, jicama, cucumber, cantelope, mango, and orange! At the end, they add lemon, salt, and chili! It's great, not too hot, and tasty.

In the background is the rapidly rising complex being built across the way. If you go to any market and look at the fruit section, the fresh cut stuff is expensive and for so little. For $5, this is kick ass deal. Get it without the spices at the end, if you're sketched out.

That looks DELICIOUS!!! A few blocks over on Mission, the latino fruit stands sell a similar mix for 2bucks-- but just mango. They mix in lime juice, cayenne pepper, and salt to the unripe mango chunks with a few toothpicks.

Lucky dude, now I'm hungry :)

This kind of fruit meal is really common in Mexico... usually citrus fruits + jicama + the chili powder. Damned good too! I have had it in Merida (capital of the Yucatan) and also in Mexico City. You are making me miss Mexico man!
