The meat at Fig is so fresh and affordable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-83736714458701065202009-05-16T15:17:00.000-07:002009-05-16T15:17:00.000-07:00yes! i love this spot! their homemade salsa is am...yes! i love this spot! their homemade salsa is amazing. they sometimes have homemade tamales on the weekend which i haven't tried. i love that they stock all of my fave Tofurky meats, weird gourmet ice cream, and traditional stuff too.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944953469030764074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-33690288413596032512009-05-16T06:49:00.000-07:002009-05-16T06:49:00.000-07:00Thanks for writing about Figueroa Produce, Pat!

It's a fairly small place, but they have such an unusual selection of items, I always find something I've never even seen before. It's a neighborhood treasure.Maggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-68716596892122470982009-05-14T09:27:00.000-07:002009-05-14T09:27:00.000-07:00wow! i gotta check this place out! thanks Pat!

It's hard to see FigPro from York or Fig b/c of the 99 Cent store. Thanks for the post - I hope it drives in more traffic.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754239324993505771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-57906752934474576512009-05-13T21:29:00.000-07:002009-05-13T21:29:00.000-07:00I love this place and don't get to them as often a...I love this place and don't get to them as often as I should.<br /><br />They have a surprisngly good gourmet ice cream selection and every now and then they have ground chicken breast for 1.99 pound - and it is FRESH.<br /><br />They are not dirt cheap on everything, but all their prices are moderate, they have great sales and - they have heart. So check them out!oddlymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326515838434329374noreply@blogger.com
