The Fruit Basket ABQ

The fruit basket has the BEST chile in Abq. I always buy my red chile pods here along with chile pequin. The vegetables are always great and they have a huge selection. Employees are friendly and service is pretty fast. The store was not too busy today and it was very clean.

My go-to for freshly roasted chile and other grocery staples. I love walking around the Fruit Basket to pick up seasonings, fresh fruit, and more. Prices are very reasonable and even when they get busy it's not too intense.This little North Valley gem is a must visit.

Zero complaints - they always have what I am looking for which is bulk items (like lavender). Highly recommend. The workers are willing to help. Private parking lot available and plenty of places to check out nearby!

I grew up in a grocery store. I did it all from bagging groceries to cutting meat to the produce department. So I can really appreciate great produce. The Fruit Basket on 4th street has the best produce in the city. I picked up these cucumbers tonight and they're awesome! The longest and thickest I've seen. And they taste amazing! The staff there are very friendly and helpful too. And during Chile roasting season it smells incredible! (Mustard packet for size)

Fire roasted green chilis, fresh spices and produce, great local coffee, palletas, dry goods like cherries, lentils, beans, homey.... Great recommendation from a local shop

I love returning to my old neighborhood so I can shop at the fruit basket!This time I stopped in for just a few things. I picked up some chili powder, cumin, a few fruits and veggies, yogurt, and some bottled Mexican Coke and Fanta. I specifically go to the fruit basket for Ginger. I have never found ginger that is so large, unblemished, and spicy. As usual, the ginger did not disappoint.If you want Mexican or New Mexican groceries, The Fruit Basket is the place to go. They have a wide selection of beans, chile pods, spices, herbs, dips and soup mixes from Desert Gardens, which are big favorites of mine, and essential groceries (bread, milk, eggs, etc.)I highly recommend The Fruit Basket, whether you want to pop in for a few essentials, get your chile fix, or to prepare for the holidays (they have great fruit baskets in a variety of sizes), you simply can't go wrong.Parking stinks but just be patient and kind and all will be well.While it is usually busy, the cashiers move you through as quickly as possible. And who minds standing around when they are roasting green chili outside in the parking lot anyway? Head to this local favorite whether you are visiting from out of town or heading home from work. Either way, The Fruit Basket has what you need!

What a cool place! They have everything you need, and more. One pound bag of chilies? You got it. Two pound bag? Pinion nuts? You got it. Blue cornmeal - you got it.All at good prices.

OMG what a find! Here is the place to find all of your mex/newmex food stuffs. Great prices on chili peppers, ground peppers, beans, etc. You can get a 5 pound bag of chilis from mild to extra-hot. We walked away with 5 pounds of peppers! In addition to food, they also have statuary!!! You can get varied sizes of all kinds of cool statues from religious to pagan and all made of resin or something lighter than stone, so they are easy to carry. The store staff are also super friendly and helpful....

Love the New Mexican products all in one place. Just wish they had some pecans from Las Cruces

It was a great store for buying dried chile, fresh chile, frozen hatch chile, pinion nuts and fresh fruit. The only issue was several items didn't have prices marked. They had some small dried red chile ristras hanging in store. Bagged the chile and brought it back to Ca with me.
