I was planning an event for around 18 people and I needed to make large amounts of watermelon juice and cucumber/lime juice, so I was looking for a way to get the goods in bulk and cheaper than the grocery store. E&J was able to get me everything I needed, AND Lupe delivered it to my place on the morning of my event. It was so easy, and all the items were high quality. It's a travesty that there was only 1 review for E&J, because it's easy to look past, but if you're having a big event and you need high quality produce and fruits, he's your guy. I know he mostly serves restaurants - which makes sense - but I was pleasantly surprised at how convenient this was for my group's needs. I would use again!

Jose is very knowledgeable and tells you which fruit is in season and which is not. He is responsive over emails and text messages. I order from him the day before to get delivery the next morning. The prices are very reasonable and competitive with other wholesale markets. Living in West LA, E & J saves me a trip to go to the Downtown LA morning market at the wee hours in the morning with his delivery service.

I was in awe of its immaculate organization and the sashimi/sushi section where workers assembled sashimi on spot. Just as I pondered if I were in food heaven, revelation hit and brought me back to banality. At the juice section, my spidey sense told me we were stalked by an Asian mid-aged female employee (or supervisor) with impeccable make-up on her rigid face. She followed us around and made me feel uncomfortable. I figured out later due to its imprudent store layout which had Fresh Produce section right next to exit and on the opposite side of check out, they suspect every customer of shoplifting. Imagine discomfort and anxiousness merely being there. There were a few securities there construing the above-said shenanigans. Exactly who likes to be followed or policed while shopping? No wonder my kiddo avoided this place since the fatal car accident inside the store in February. Eerie Feng Shui and ominous energy.

I brought it back the next day expecting at least an apology or a simple exchange. But the owner was shockingly rude and dismissive. While I ended up getting the refund, he kept saying they should not allow that without a receipt as if he was doing me a "favor" by allowing the return. The real issue was not treating customers with basic respect as instead of taking responsibility, he raised his voice at me from across the store, saying things like it's against rules to give refund without a receipt and when I said it's also against rules to sell rotten food to people, he yelled that the bread was probably fine a few days ago (while it had mold when sitting on the shelf). To make matters worse, I've also noticed this same owner being rude to his own cashier staff, which only confirms that this kind of behavior is not a one-off.
