Fruits & Veggies in Antioch, CA

“Good value for money. Nice Asian grocery store with a good selection of food and seafood. I came for the snacks, they had the Filipino common food like ChocNut, several chips, Star margarine, Nido milk, the usual Silver Swan soy sauce and vinegar, and the Mang Tomas gravy for chicken, among others. I almost thought I was back in the local shop of origin, it was impressive for the import selection.I also came for the Japanese snacks; they sometimes have anime stuff like the Dragon Ball chewing gum and the Demon Slayer biscuits, but it's pretty random what appears. They have Japanese mirin and the Chinese cooking stuff too, and what a relief that there are translated labels and I need not use Google lens, unlike in Metro Manila where these Chinese and Japanese labels are usually retained as-is.While I was looking for the Fukien Old Wine (not sure where to find it as my folks were in a hurry to do a 20-minute shopping including checkout) that I used to use to stir fry my vegetables in, I saw lots of the mirin, the usual Lee Kum Kee seasonings and oyster sauces of various types. They also had something similar to Kewpie sesame salad dressing. They had seaweed snacks too, says organic on the label even, that it looks good.And if you're craving for ready-to-eat jellyfish over seaweed salad in the chiller, they have them too near the line for the cashier.The milkfish, it can be deboned if you ask the staff. Here, it's like the wet market. I saw large crabs, large oysters, the ones similar to what I'm used to in the islands, catfish, all other smaller fish, the large tuna fish, and smaller snails. I find that it's interesting how varied the food here is and how if you tell them what dish you will use the meat or fish, they can cut and prepare it for, say, adobo or tinola. It's a store my folks frequently visit just for seafood and they keep coming back. Thankfully, this shop exists having our comfort foods.”

“AMAZING FLEA MARKET! Wow! There is NO ENTRANCE FEE, no parking fee, and it’s like holy ground. There’s so many beautiful church stands there that preach the gospel and pray for people. Love it so much! Live worship!

There’s also amazing vendors. You can literally find jewelry for $1. And name brand clothes that are used but still new for 3 for $1.

My favorite place to eat there is called El Quetzalito. They have giant fruit drinks for only $6. And food for $4-$10. Piping HOT off the grill!

They sell BRAND NEW Stanley cups at the some stands here for only $25 wowwwwwww. Some rare colors are $35.

There’s tools, clothes, tech, home goods, antiques, caps, home decor, toiletries, and fresh fruits… all sorts of cool stuff here!

CASH ONLY!

They also have bathrooms and live music too!

On Saturday morning only! They finish at 3. Most vendors start to leave around 1 pm so come at like 9 am that’s when I like to go.

MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT. It’s hot and hard to find shade. And wear sunscreen. I like to carry my own water too.

Have fun!”

“Cool little store does lean Hispanic but has a great butcher counter and stuff, you're not going to find it lucky or Safeway and it's also close and convenient”
