Love this place! 'Course the produce is rarely organic, and most is trucked in, so there's some give and take that way. But since it's located across from the main produce terminal for area groceries and restaurants, Chicho offers some good deals. They have weekly specials, but a lot of times, we'll show up and discover a last minute bargain -- like when we got 20# of bananas for $1. Made LOTS of banana bread + froze it. I like not knowing what we'll find -- makes dinner more interesting.
