Del Monte Produce

Do not use your credit card here. Mine was cloned at this location and accessed later that day. Store did nothing about it. I would use cash if you decide to go here.

Cheap food Cheap quality.
Most fruits were very ripe with the over ripe smell.
Super dirty.

Been going here a while. I prefer to go up to Moss Landing but when I don’t want to make the trip this place suits fine. They carry a lot of exotic produce, depending on what is in season, like various eggplants, citrus, Latin American fruits and even Durian, although I think it was a special order (like, real special). Like all real fruit stands, the produce arrives fresh, neither wax-​coated nor irradiated. They do not specify what is organic or not.
In defense, because the produce is fresh, it will not last as long as some other places. I eat lots of peppers/​chiles and tomatoes, which don’t last long without the implementation of some funky food technology. Wilted leafy greens are very common at stands like this, because they require top-​notch refrigeration and sprayers. A little cold water keeps things crispy-​crunchy, but it costs a lot to get the right equipment. Fortunately, they sell enough stuff to stay in business. Someone I referred swears that the fruit here tastes better than that wihich they buy under the guise «organic» at bigger markets.

I was so shock by old this place how do they stay in business, I hope they fix the refrigerator system. Produce at 60 degree (greens) it ok but the milk at 50, my Lord; Someone could get really sick. All their drinks are out dated from January this year (except coke in the closed coke case. Never again am I going back here!

This market has a variety of Mexican, Asian and Middle Eastern grocery staples in addition to the produce offerings. However, the produce has been disappointing for several years — the refrigeration seems to be lacking and many «fresh» vegetables appear wilted, old and of 3^rd rate quality. Potatoes and onions? You’re probably okay with those, but often times the rest looks pretty sad. The «fresh» pita and flat breads had me excited but upon getting it home we could tell it was old and stale. I shop here only once in a while for the bulgar wheat, middle eastern spices and occasional flower bouquet, but if they would step up the quality of the vegetables I would visit more often.

I go almost every week, that’s how good it is. Very reasonable prices and a decent choice.

Couldn’t ask for much more in a local roadside produce market. Variety, price and simplicity all make it a favorite stop on the commute home. Ethnic foods are a huge bonus.
* Check the bargain bin. I have got some great deals on chanterelle mushrooms, sundried tomatoes and all kinds of overlooked items. Just make sure you are ready to cook them that night or the next.

This is the only place I buy my produce. When I first moved to the area a few months ago I searched desperately for a local produce place that actually provided local produce… I mean, this is California right? I’ve been to a few others in the area but this is the ONLY store that combines great selection and unbeatable prices with LOCAL produce. They also carry a wide variety of nuts and other ethnic staples (Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mexican) as well as gorgeous flower arrangements at excellent prices. I’ve met one of the owners, Rafael, a few times while perusing the aisles… he is extremely helpful and very friendly. He recently informed me that in a few weeks they will be moving to organic! He assured me that at least 70 percent of their produce will be organic and that there will be no noticeable change in price! I can’t say enough about this place!

Love this market and the staff but haven’t been since they changed owners (within the family I heard) but I’ve stopped by for Wolffman BBQ!

Great quality produce at really REALLY cheep prices! Every time i go here i buy like half the store and end up paying less than 20 bucks! Great place to buy produce at really great prices!

Great selection of raw beans, lentils, spices, nuts, international food in addition to the beautiful and large (relatively speaking for a little produce stand) fruit and veg selection. They have bulk fresh herbs which means you can buy just one sprig of basil if thats all you need so you aren’t watching a bunch of it wilt away in your fridge. Also have random things like eggs, mexican cheese, fresh baked bread from a local bakery. The staff is always very friendly and the prices cannot be beat. Great local, corner market that everyone should visit instead of giving paying the big corporate prices at stores like Safeway and WF.
And, they have bunches of flowers for under $ 3!!! What?! Love this Place!

good selection of produce at affordable prices. my bag was heaping with fresh goodness and i paid less than $ 10.
its across the street from the bike path with english as the cross street. i love that i can ride my bike here to get my weekly supply of produce!

This is my new favorite place to get fresh produce! Perfect for throwing together a salad or grabbing some miscellaneous fruits and veggies. The prices can’t be beat and they have a lot of specialty items (I bought sesame seeds here, for example). Sometimes it’s hard to get enough stuff to make the $ 5 minimum mark so you can pay with a credit card. The parking area is a little tricky but totally worth it.

This is the place I get most of my produce from. The produce here is not always as good looking as it is at somewhere like Grove Market, but the selection is better and the prices for some things are about half of what you’d pay there. They also have a small bulk foods section where you can get nuts, grains, beans and different kinds of dried chilies.

Excellent prices for produce. You can also buy by the case. They also have middle eastern, Mexican, and Asian groceries.
