Fruit Stand

I love that this fruit guy is here! It certainly beats having to go to the store and buy all the fruit that you want and cut it up. By the time you do all that, you hardly even feel like eating it! I’ll pay the $ 7 for a large container any day! It’s totally worth it, especially if you get mango! For some reason, that is the hardest and messiest thing to cut up!
His stand is always clean and he puts all fruit rind, peel, and any other trash in a large box below. His surroundings are also clean. I can appreciate that, especially being a street vendor, you already know that you can’t eat food from every street vendor. You have to be careful or you’ll end up with a gnarly infection or poisoning and can become best friends with your toilet, either by hugging it with your arms or your legs!
He has watermelon, pineapple, mango, oranges, coconut, cucumber, jicama, etc. You can get it plain or he can put chili y limón con tahine! Try it! It’s really good. I like to get mine on the side, because I like to enjoy it both plain and with the mixture, plus I like mine a little spicier, so I tend to put more of the mixture on mine. He will gladly mix the tahine and salt in a little baggy and give you limes on the side.
This guy is really nice and welcoming and there tends to be a line of people stopping by all the time, especially on a hot day. He is definitely busy and everyone knows he’s here, so he has regulars, which speaks to his friendliness and character.
