Not a very fancy produce store but the deals are great and the produce is fresh! Prices are reasonable. The meats looked fresh and are affordable. Very nice cashiers and plenty of parking. It's definitely a better deal than at the local supermarkets! They have lots of Latin products at this business. Will visit again next time I am in the Alafaya area.

Great location so many different produce and meat to choose from! Very clean and organize. As a Hispanic women sometimes I can't find certain meats or produce at a local bravo or Publix.

This was a great find relatively close to home (Oviedo) to find authentic latin foods. I was particularly looking for chicken feet to make bone broth as it's commonly used in Latin America to heal your body from within. I called in advance to ask if they had it and the manager at the meat/poultry area confirmed so off I went! They had feet, chicken necks, ox tail... all the typical animal parts used in Latin food preparation. I also snagged some tequeños (queso and queso/guava) an a couple of other herbs for my broth. Parking in ample and right in front of the place. The workers are super nice and helpful. I'll be back!

I had a bad experience visiting the fancy fruit on curryford and goldenrod on the east side of orlando. I was going up and down the aisles with the grocery cart when I couldn't believe what I was observing. Rats the size of baby cats running up and down the aisles, there must have been 3 or 4 huge rats, t went down the meat aisle and it stunk like rotten meat. Folkd dont shop here. Spend a little more money and go to Publix

Fancy Fruits and Produce has multiple locations and today I stopped by their location in East Orlando on East Colonial Drive. While the parking lot is relatively small, I was fortunate enough to find parking right in the front.
In addition to fruit and produce, Fancy Fruits and Produce also has meat and general canned goods, spices, etc.
Pricing is fair, though I was disappointed that some of the produce was borderline and was not as fresh as it could be. However, a bit of rooting around found a beautiful piece of produce.
I did find it interesting that they had security standing by the exit. Is it for loss prevention or have they had other kinds of issues in the past? Things that make you go hmm.
Ultimately, I would recommend here if you are in the neighborhood.Helpful 9Thanks 0Love this 7Oh no 0 - Joe M.Orlando, FL042Dec 1, 2022
an alternative to the Establishment
tired of food p.o.r.n. at the established shops? tired of paying triple for fresh stuff? trying to find exotic fruit, veggies, and such?
Fancy Fruit and Produce may help!!! a wide selection of local product; along with the ethnic friendly stock of merch. a decent selection of Caribbean goodies with a small Oriental stash. shop early; the Store may get slammed with many other happy customers! the meat, seafood, and domestics are tops in items that some immigrant customers remember from Home. there are limited other services there. a must see! there are several locations in the central Florida USA region. the staff seems to be quite customer orientated. an under dog worthy of patronage.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 27, 2020
This poorly named store (it's the opposite of fancy) is a good choice when looking for meat, seafood, fruits, vegetables, seasonings and spices. It's a bit cramped inside and be a challenge maneuvering around, especially if you have a cart. Parking is also a challenge when it gets busy, which it usually is.
My thoughts are know your prices at other stores. Some things are a lot cheaper and some are on par with sales going on at other stores like Publix and Winn Dixie.
They do have some things I haven't seen at other stores, so if you're looking for a hard-to-find fruit (dragonfruit, jackfruit) or veggie (bitter melon, Chinese eggplant) you may want to give this place a try. Some of it is fresh and some of it needs to be used immediately, or you need to search through bins of wrinkly soft peppers to find a good one.
On the meat and seafood site, you can find good deals on chicken, pork (including belly), beef, and seafood. Most of it is packaged in large quantities so make sure you are hosting a party or have freeze space available.
They have some different sauces and seasonings, particularly in the hispanic side, but they have some asian assortments as well as american staples like tobasco. Again, some of it can be found cheaper elsewhere.
I come here occasionally when looking for something different and left with a decent assortment of grapes, avocados, jackfruit, limes, serrano peppers, and 1 small red pepper.Helpful 8Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Nov 19, 2017
Lots and lots of fruit at very good prices. Check out the pictures for prices and selection. The fruit is on the edge of being over-ripe, so come in and buy for the next day or two, dont expect it to last long like the under-picked Publix stuff.
A huge selection of vegetables, ground-provisions (tubers), and some ethnic selections that I don't find on regular grocery shelves.
Cheap and fresh, with good selection... I would not recommend the meats.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 12, 2019Updated review
For dried goods and some vegetables this place is good. They had a huge selection of dried beans, corn, etc.
What I cannot abide is the occasional whiff of sewer with a mix of dead rat scent. Needless to say, the less than appetizing meats became less so after that olfactory discovery. No reputable grocery store would have such a stench, ever.
For cheap and fresh fruits and vegetables I highly recommend Clemons. For meats, Freshfield Farms is cheap and sanitary.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0Sep 5, 2013Previous reviewThis place is dirt cheap and if you want any kind of Hispanic food item they will have it. For the most part, the vegetables were fresh (the corn I bought turned out to be old and gross) for the most part. I bought some asparagus on the cheap that was tasty. I also stocked up on some frozen items and beans. Many of the staples are available a nice price. I can't say I;'d shop here regularly but I will definitely be back. Aldi just down the street so one could hit both stores and get some groceries for a very nice price.
