One unfortunate aspect to the fruit carts is that the stock is typically hit or miss. Some have mango, some don't and it's the same with everything else, you kind of have a crap shoot when it comes to what fruits will be available. Not here though, the guy has almost every single day: mango, coconut, honeydew, cantaloupe, cucumber, pineapple, jicama, watermelon, orange. Every day, no kidding, and with it being directly outside my place of business this cart is pretty much perfect in every way. The gentleman that runs it is the nicest guy on the block. If something is a little unripe he will keep it real and let you know. Just this morning he sliced me off a piece of mango so I could judge for myself, very kind of him instead of just unloading the mango. I went pineapple instead. I talk to him in broken Spanish, he talks to me in broken English, and somehow it all works out. Bonus points for not filling the fruit in plastic bags either, he uses plastic to-go containers which are much easier to eat from, and no worries on it tipping over if you're driving. He has small $3 boxes up to a $5 size, and if you're a fan of fresh coconut water (like me) he'll crack one open and fill you a cup for $1. Everything that comes out of this stand screams 'refreshing', I love it. I know he works about 9:30A - 4:00P on weekdays simply because he's in the prefect place with a ton of office traffic, don't know if he works weekends. Look for him right outside the parking lot of the Wells Fargo, located on Washington Blvd. And don't forget to tip! Hello, my name is Justin and I'm a chili/lime fruit addict, and it's all this stands fault.

I love this fruit stand and the guy who owns/works the stand is super nice, a professional fruit cutter and he's funny =) Like everyone else says, all the fruits are actually sweet and fresh! $4 for a big cup and $5 for a big box - you get to pick any and as many different fruit as you want! He also has salt and chili if you wanna add that too. I usually just get the cup and that fills me up.

I ordered the Matador's Wife sandwich with avocado. I also grabbed an Olipop Peaches & Cream and a…read morebag of Zapp's Sweet Creole Onion chips. The sandwich was excellent. Everything tasted fresh, and the avocado was a great addition that made it even more satisfying. The flavors all came together really well, and every bite had a nice balance without anything overpowering the rest. It was a generous portion and definitely filled me up. The Olipop Peaches & Cream was smooth and refreshing, and the Zapp's Sweet Creole Onion chips were packed with flavor and added the perfect crunch alongside the sandwich. The restaurant had a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and attentive. My order came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh and made to order. Overall, it was a great lunch. I'd definitely recommend Monroe Place, and I'll be back to try more of the sandwiches on the menu.

They have counter seating inside and ample outdoor seating, but also seems more of a stop and go place. Def worth a stop!

Yesterday afternoon, I went to the ELF warehouse to spend a GatherGreen coupon. The coupon was a…read more$25 for $50 deal, and had expired, so I went in only expecting to trade it in for the original $25 I spent on the coupon, NOT the $50 coupon deal. As it is standard with online coupon services such as Groupon and AmazonLocal that although the promotional value will expire on a specified date, the amount paid WILL NEVER EXPIRE and will continue to be honored by the merchant after the promotional value expires, I assumed there would be no problem. However, where many vendors will not only allow one to spend the amount paid but will even allow the customer to use the promotional value of expired coupons as well, ELF would not even allow me to trade in the GatherGreen certificate for $25 worth of product. I would understand if they simply wouldn't let me use the promotional deal of $50, but just--keeping my original $25 and not giving me $25 worth of products? I was only asking for $25 worth of merchandise, for the $25 I had already paid, yet the girl acted like I was demanding a special favor. She kept saying that the coupon had expired and could no longer be honored. No matter how many different ways I explained it, she couldn't understand that I WASN'T ASKING FOR THE COUPON TO BE HONORED. I wasn't asking to spend the promotional amount of $50, I only wanted to spend the non-promotional amount of $25. This is STANDARD PRACTICE with every other online coupon service I've tried. Finally I gave up, when my phone alerted me that my meter was about to expire. Probably for the best, as my capacity for civil interaction felt like it too was about to expire. I am not one to yell or throw tantrums, but as I walked back to my car, I could see how one might be driven to such behavior. I also felt sad, because previous to this experience, I would have given ELF five stars like everyone else. Their products--with the exception of the Indonesian cacao--have never disappointed me. I've been in the raw lifestyle and a regular ELF customer for years. Maybe I've been lucky with exceptional service in the past, but this is the only one star review of a business that I've ever given, and I'm not giving them one star because their products aren't good. I'm giving them one star because my experience with the GatherGreen coupon situation was so negative that I was in tears when I left. I'm giving them one star because I don't feel good supporting them by purchasing from them any longer. This was especially upsetting because the other reason I'd gone in to ELF was to set up a wholesale account. Our raw food business has been using ELF's raw pitted botilla olives on a new pizza we released this month, and we've been going through $100 worth of their olives every week. Pizza orders are skyrocketing and we expect to use much more in the near future. However, today with only a little research I found the same raw peruvian pitted dried olives online through another one of our suppliers for $6.25 RETAIL for 8 oz., as opposed to ELF's price of $8.69 WHOLESALE for only 7 oz. We will be saving several hundred dollars a month, thousands a year, by NOT buying through Essential Living Foods. ELF would have made $300-400 a month from us, to start. I hope it was worth it to the ELF customer service lady to treat me as she did, because she lost the company she works for $1000s a year; I just placed an order for three cases of the olives from the alternate supplier I found, in time for next week's orders. At least I have her to thank for inspiring us to look for olives elsewhere. Because of her we will be saving $1000s a year. To me, that's worth the $25 they kept. ...I would also advise against purchasing their GatherGreen coupons. The reason my coupon expired wasn't because I forgot about it. To the contrary I was online several times a week for the duration of the 3-month promotion period, waiting for the items I wanted to come back in stock, and they never did...yet they continued to be in stock at Erewhon and other health food markets (where the coupon wasn't applicable, as it was an "online-only" deal). When I mentioned this to the customer service rep, she informed me that they only do the coupons to advertise their business and to clear their inventory of less popular items. Fair enough. But I won't be buying again.

ELF was my business' go-to wholesale ingredients supplier for years, and the fact that the company…read moreI handed my business over to utilizes them too definitely sweetened my licensing deal. These same ingredients have been staples of my diet, and they are also available at health food stores- you may have never noticed where those bulk brazil nuts or cashews you buy come from, but often it's Essential Living Foods on the bin labels. They sell everything from nuts to cacao powder to very niche raw superfood ingredients like maca and mesquite. Their wholesale prices are comparable to the larger corporate devil UNFI, and their retail prices are fair. I haven't tried any of their snacks, since I generally make my own, but they are made with the same high-quality ingredients and available at every health food store I frequent.

After getting my travel items, I saw the La Cienega farmers market, which is not far from a Target and a Renal care center. This small farmers market every Saturday is nestled in the corner on La Cienega Blvd. near 18th St. and the Beverlywood/La Cienega area. The minute I entered this happy zone I saw a tamale stand. The name of the stand is no longer visible or I would put a review of outstanding on whoever made these tamales. They had various kinds, and so I had a great deal, ordering the pork, chicken, and first time ever, pineapple tamales. The three tamales were large, with a sweet corn surrounding its inside of stuffed pork, or chicken or pineapple. The pineapple tamale filled with fresh pineapple is a revelation. A+ A little further down they had the mandatory kettle corn, in the corner a barbecue place where the owner was born in Lafayette, Louisiana, but I was already packed with goodies to go, so I made a mental note to come back on another Saturday. I saw a pupusa stand, which is El Salvadoran and I would've ordered some pupusa's but I had the three tamales. I did order a large watermelon juice to go. There were fruit and vegetables down another row, which I did not go down since I will be leaving and I can't store those but from what I ordered and saw, this small farmers market has enough wonderful choices. I will be back.

Jackson market as a whole in terms of ambiance, variety, taste definitely overtakes bay cities but if you're just talking about comparing food quality sand which to sand which it will be a tough TIE (it's not less) than bay cities. Bay cities is loaded and so is Jackson but bay cities is a little more juicier where the inside sandwich ingredients shine more and you can definitely taste each of the ingredients eg banana peppers meats deli cheese etc. Jackson market's Italian sub had harder bread but I could see like some would argue it's more balanced. It definitely is a little less juicy and even though there were complimentary banana peppers I hardly tasted it at all as it was sprinkled far and few. If you paid for an added topping eg. Jalepenos they were definitely generous with it. Tip: DO NOT get the French baguette toasted as it'll be too hard. The market is fun because it also offers wine selections ($20-$60), not a fun cheese selection like bay cities, pasta salad, bomb tiramisu, has an entire PIZZA OVEN in the back, fun canned drinks including GUAYABA (an aloe tasting like drink), pastries, and chips/snacks. Ambiance - the patio in the back is spacious and big. They don't allow you to bring a computer to work there and the WiFi and service is pretty bad there. Parking - street parking along residential homes 2 subs ($14.99/each), 2 drinks, 1 large chip ($4.95) came out to be around $44. Overall an amazing find. The 10/10 would come back & especially try the pizza. Revolutionary in food taste ? Probably not but revolutionary in enjoyability and spot find? 1000%. Happy munching !
