I was just too lazy to create a Yelp page until today because I was hoping that someone else would. Nobody ever did BTW, therefore I created the page, dammit! Anyways, what can I say other than that this is probably the best $5 you will spend on Mid-Wilshire. Maria mans - I mean "womans" - this fruit stand attached to a pickup truck that is parked in front of Wells Fargo between 9AM to 4PM. Just be warned that she is not set up until 9:30ish though because she needs the prep time to cut up all the fruit. Sadly, she can't extend her hours because on this strip of Wilshire there is a fascist tow-away anti-gridlock policy from 7 to 9 AM and 4 to 7 PM where the meter maid dickbutts work in connivance with the chilitos from Viertel's to tow people away like no other. On any given day, except Sunday when she takes the day off, Maria has at least ten fruits to make a fruit salad out of. Everything from cantaloupes, mangos, and pineapples to off-the-beaten-path stuff like papayas, coconuts, and jicamas (I believe jicama is a root that tastes like a cross between a daikon radish and a turnip and is technically not a fruit, but who cares!). Moreover, to cater to the entitled millennial crowd, Maria even allows you to pimp your fruit salad by choosing which fruits you want - all at no additional cost. For example, if you just want honeydew melóns, you can get only honeydew melóns. Also, if you have a weird allergy to watermelon or some other fruit like a cabron, you can request to not have that fruit added as well. I for one, always get a little of everything with extra crunchy green mango. The small is $3 or $4 (not 100% sure of the price) since I always get the large because you get more bang-for-your-buck for $5. Oh and it's CASH ONLY. I also like to add a little chili and lime salt to my fruit medley to create a sweet, sour, and spicy taste-station (taste sensation). So, if you like fruits or are on a diet, definitely stop by Fruta Fresca and have Maria "toss" you up a fruit "salad" for you. If you become a regular, it helps to tip her a $1 for added fruit. I think she likes me because I speak Spanish to her... then again, she might think I'm just an annoyance the way Freddy from House of Cards entertained Frank Underwood out of pity. * Having just come back from Honolulu, there are more fruit options at this cart in the middle of Koreatown than the KCC Farmer's Market and all the ABC stores combined.

Really great fruit stand after a solid hike! Fryman is one of the best hikes in LA - if not THE…read morebest - and this fruit stand is right at the base of it! Incase you have never had an LA fruit cart experience, here is how it works: You point to the fruits you want in the glass case. The kind fruit man (or lady) then chops them up and puts them in a cup for you and covers them in your choice of lime, chamoy, tajin, and/or salt. Enjoy! The guy that works here is SUPER nice! It's a little pricey. $10-$15 depending on what size you get. It use to be $6-$10 8 years ago, so the prices have just gone up proportionately with inflation. Don't get bent out of shape over it! Ambiance? Shoot....you are smack dab in the middle of nature at the base of a hiking trail! Enjoy some fruit in paradise!

And not just any fruit, it has to be…read morewatermelon and/or cucumber with a great amount of chili powder, lightly sprinkled salt and lots of lemon juice. All this nicely prepared by someone with clean hands, covered by plastic gloves. And someone who will not question, "Are you sure? It's really spicy!", "More lemon!?". Looks like I hit the jackpot here! The person who prepared this was very accommodating and very friendly. I don't think he speaks English very well because he asked me (in Spanish) what the person had said when they were passing by, and it was either that he didn't speak it or just didn't hear it loud enough (the people only commented that they would be stopping by to get some fruit on their way back). Either way, it looks like he gets plenty of customers and from all walks of life, so I don't think there should be any language barrier there. The watermelon was very sweet and the cucumber was ripe to perfection. I haven't tried any of their other fruits but I will list a few that I did see. Pineapple Mango Orange Papaya Coconut I can't think of any more right now, but next time I stop by, I will update review if I missed any. Small container is $4 Large container is $5 (recommend this one since it's almost double the amount for one dollar difference) I will also add, parking can be a bit tricky. The cart is located right on the street parking in front of Bank of America, taking up one meter. There's usually one meter in front of the cart and 2 behind it. And the several times I've been there, there's a taco truck after the third meter. Be quick to park, since it is located in a traffic area. Corner of Wilshire and La Brea. $.25 per 15 min, there's the Bank's parking lot, but not sure if you will be ticketed so I don't recommend it. Enjoy!
