    Rebanadas
    Steve A.

    Found another good place in Grand Central Market for healthy fruits. It looks pretty lonely compared to the busy lines at Eggslut so go get something from here. La Fruteria has authentic Mexican fruits and spices. Even combine both. The spiciness and the sweetness make a mouth party. All the stuff is fresh. It's lots of fruit with the options of seasonings to describe it pretty much. There's lots of different combinations to get with the authentic spiciness. It's about $9 for a big bowl of Rebanadas, which is basically chopped fruit. This one is tossed in a spicy sauce made with lime juice and Tapatio. Kind of expensive just for fruit. The only bad thing you can say about it to be honest. Certainly it's one of the healthiest places in the market of course. It's good for those looking for something natural or even organic. The prices are kind of high, which is about the only bad thing.

    Pros: Sweet, salty, spicy and refreshingly good mangonada. Cons: Price-wise, it's steep! In a way, I felt ripped off since the server didn't really fill my cup.

    This place is a must-stop for me and my boyfriend when we go on our weekly walk. It's a juice or agua fresca shop located inside the Grand Central Market, close to Egg Slut and next to what used to be Clark Street.   We love getting agua frescas here. It's so refreshing and there are many to choose from. We always get Sandia (Watermelon) and Mamey. I have also tried pineapple, orchata, and a kale and pineapple blend.   It always hits the spot and leaves us highly satisfied. Not to mention, there aren't that many places to get decent agua fresca nearby, so it's convenient.   But the girls working here are really rude. They have such a bad attitude, and it always shows. Once we ordered watermelon, she told me it was not ready, and the other girl told her it was ready in Spanish. When I asked her if I could order watermelon, she did not say anything and just gave me watermelon with an attitude. Another time, she told me she wasn't open yet and immediately served another customer behind me. It really pisses me off, but the drink is why we come back. On the other hand, guys working seem to be a lot more nicer than girls. They also do not take Samsung or Apple Pay, so you have to have a physical card or cash for the payment.

    The orange juice was watered down as hell When I tried to let them know nicely, the man he was working. There was very dismissive, telling me no it was impossible, that it was specially, made, even though I had seen it sitting in the refrigerator for quite a while. I told them that he could try it and to please remake it, and he kept telling me. What do you want me to do about it, shaking his head, and being very dismissive. Eventually, they remade the drink, and it was noticeable, not just in color, but also in taste.

    We were in search of a quick breakfast, and accidentally stumbled upon a Grand Central Market! It turned out to be a pleasant surprise, and it was great to sample offerings from multiple restaurants all in one place. I ended up being drawn to the fresh fruit and pressed juices from La Fruiteria -- they all looked so fresh and delicious. The service was quick, but the employee seemed a little short mannered and not happy to be there. Regardless, I got my food fast. I went for a fruit salad made of mango, watermelon, and spices. The fruit was fresh and I liked the chili flavor. I also tried some juices and flavored water. Overall, it was a tasty and unexpected breakfast experience.

    Located in Grand Central Market. La fruteria offers fresh drinks, fruit, bionicos. i just picked up a refreshing watermelon drink! It came with a tamarindo candy and chamoy on the cup ring. The pineapple drink also looks good! Maybe I'll give it a try next.

    You see my cup was pretty much empty. It was so good, I'm ready to learn how to make these at home. The Aqua Fresca limón was so refreshing. Perfect drink for a hot day. I've been twice and I'll definitely be back!

    Refreshing drink but definitely watered down, so not really worth the price (since everything in grand central market is more expensive).

    This is located inside Grand Central Market. Each agua fresca is $6 which is a little more pricey than what I'm used to, but it was a decent drink to get because it got rid of our thirst. The line wasn't too long on a Friday afternoon, service was also fast. Mango 7/10 Watermelon 8/10

    Arriving at Grand Central Market on a hot weekend morning, I saw that La Fruteria had a huge line. They offer aqua frescas and fruit in a cup ($10). I returned after lunch and there was no line at all so I went with an aqua fresca. Watermelon Aqua Fresca ($5) - Wow, this was super refreshing on a hot summer day. It wasn't watered down like some of the other places out there. You could definitely tell their was a high concentration of watermelon juice and a little bit of pulp. Overall, this isn't a bad place to go if you are looking for something to cool you off. Pricing is on the higher side considering what you are getting. But apparently this is the current market rate in Los Angeles.

    I got the pina agua fresca while my friend got the watermelon. Both were good, both great. Definitely was watered down. Pay cash or a 1$ fee will be charged to use your card, not a complaint just offering advice if you wanna get upset about that.

    Janie R.

    Wanted to get the tajin, chamoy, and candy with my drink. Thought it came with it. The worker said it was 10 dollars and I said that's fine can I get that instead (wanted to treat myself) and she said no. Could've just switched it to a different cup. So bummer of a service.

It has been surprisingly difficult to find truly fresh fruits, vegetables, and produce, but this place pretty much had it all. They carry a wide variety of seeded fruits and produce from different parts of the world, and everything looked fresh and natural rather than overly processed or mass-produced. I'm almost hesitant to leave this review because I don't want the spot to get so popular that I can never find the fruit I'm looking for again. The woman working behind the register was also extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. She allowed my brother and me to sample a few fruits that were new to us and gave us background and insight into where they came from and what made them unique. I would absolutely recommend Sasoun Produce, especially for health fanatics and anyone who may not get the opportunity to travel but still wants to experience fruits from different parts of the world. Ten out of ten.

The best part is they work with local farmers to get all their produce and find multiple ways to give back to the community. They also have their Support a School program where they donate 5% back from every box sold. They have different boxes to choose from and different sizes as well. Some boxes are fruits only and others include fruits and vegetables. I went with the half size fruit and vegetable box. Before delivery, you get an email of what is going to be inside the box and the best part for me is, it includes recipes of what you can make with the items in your box. My box included an avocado, pears, apples, oranges, broccoli, cilantro, pink chard, and lettuce. One of the recipes included Baked Broccoli Parmesan Fritters which I am definitely going to try out because I always need new ideas for meals with having two small children. The delivery fee for their boxes is $6.95 or you can pick up the boxes for free at many of their local pickup locations.

This Farmer's Market is not as busy as the other one I recently visited; however, it is a lot smaller and literally on the street so maybe that's why it's not as busy. There's so many food options that it seems more like a food event then a Farmer's Market. I really do love that this one stays open til later since a lot of Farmer's Market are only open in the morning. It's good for the people who wake up late or don't like going out early mornings. Parking is pretty crazy, so good luck. If you live in the area then you're pretty lucky just to walk here. This Farmer's Market is pretty close to tons of businesses so it's accessible to a lot of people, it's just the parking that's crazy. I'm not a local, so if you locals have tips for us then that would be great! I definitely would love to come back to see if they offer other stuff. I happened to come late which is probably why there weren't any produce.
