Mexican Fruits

What an awesome shop! Do not be misled by the small size of this shop, they have quite the supply of wonderful things that are difficult to find in your typical grocery store (and for a FRACTION of typical DC prices). Fresh produce, dried spices, dried chilis, grains, you name it. The staff were also very helpful, happy to help me find what I needed! This will definitely be a regular stop for me, what a gem!

This place has tons of authentic Mexican foods. The staff was extremely friendly and the prices are low. I would recommend coming here.

It's a good place and it definitely Needs proper Cleanliness and organization along with appropriate price markings.

I love this store! They have a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, spices, and pantry items. I'm from California and am always looking for Mexican candy in the district, so I'm super happy to have found it here . The people who work here are super nice and i personally love the location. The prices here are unbeatable.

Mexican Fruits is a beloved little shop in the OG Union Market. When you spot the bright blue building, go inside to a room crammed with fresh produce, spices and other household items. If you need more unique produce, this is your spot!

Friendly staff, great location and variety of groceries to select from. I get amazing finds whenever stop in. The deals are great.

Amazing quaint little store with a huge variety of fruits and vegetables at jaw dropping prices. Some produce is a little ripe so you do have to rummage through to find good ones but absolutely worth it.

I'm not a big Yelper BUT I had to come on here and give my two cents because it might just help others make a decision as to whether they want to stop by and do their shopping here. First of all - I am not from Washington D.C, I just moved here from Los Angeles CA about two weeks ago. And let me just say --produce in D.C is ridiculously expensive...I almost had a heart attack the first time I walked into the grocery store last week...paying 1$ for ONE orange, 2.50$ for ONE avocado...50 cents for ONE lemon? Back in California we pay nearly nothing for our produce because it's grown in our state. Any who, so when I found out this store existed, I walked over excited that I'd finally pay reasonable prices. First impressions: It's near whole sales stores - homeless sitting outside, parking but the road is not well paved and its like we would say back home "hood". The store itself - Not sure if I saw a Sign at the entrance but you see all the produce as soon as you walk in, It's small, it looks like an outdoor market, signs with prices are hand written, produce is pilled everywhere, you can buy in bulk and ask for a cheaper prices, and you don't get a paper receipt. The woman at the counter speaks both Spanish and English. Another gentleman was loading a truck and kept walking through the store with big cases of produce, I am not sure when they receive their deliveries but it would be good to know so you can show up that day and get all their new stuff. I paid a total of 30$, only because I spent 16$ on a bag of 5 pound mozzarella cheese (I want to make a veggie Lasagna later) - the rest was fresh fruits and beans. Don't expect 5 star produce, it's CHEAP, BUT with that you must pick your fruit with a critical eye. If you are going to be cooking up a feast and need the veggies asap, this is PERFECT -if you are going to have the veggies in your fridge for day's on end, I would suggest you purchase a limited amount, don't think the veggies will last very long. I expect to be going here weekly! :D I live 3-4 blocks down the street and while the area is sketchy, it's worth the walk. p.s I would have taken pictures of the store itself but I already look like an outsider that I didn't want to make it any more obvious! haa. I am Mexican but I am very light and have blue eyes - so people generally think I'm "White" - With that, I speak fluent Spanish.

Love love love this shop! It's the only place in DC i've found to sell my favorite tropical fruits and veggies. It might serve you to call and ask if they have what you're looking for before you get there because their stock can be inconsistent beyond the pantry staples. It's a tight space so it's best to be in and out which isn't hard as the staff is quick and helpful. The produce here lasts a liiiiitle less time in the fridge than that of a traditional grocery store but for the prices you really cannot beat it.

Mexican Fruits is an absolutely wonderful authentic market place! I love to stop by here, buy some loose herbal teas, a coconut- have it cut in store and drink fresh coconut water out the coconut while walking the union market district!
