produce trucks that cruise the neighbourhood

[Torontonian]

On another thread someone talked about a truck that had good value. As a non-driver in Riberas I might be interested in supporting such a business. But the only one I am familiar with is one that used to stop across the road from the cat shelter. I didn't ask about prices as the produce was not great. Once though, while in Ajijic, I got some great strawberries from the back of a truck.

Can you give some identifying features so I can recognize a recommended truck?

Sometimes trucks will come to Lakeside with just one kind of produce and park for awhile. If such a truck comes near you and you are pleased with the product and the value then please post the location as well.

The one that comes to our neighberhood, talks really really fast on a loud speaker. It is not a recording. His fruits look good.

bought a bolsa (bag) of canteloupes for 15p from a truck yesterday. they only carried melons and there were 3 smallish or 2 large per bag. the melons were firm and very sweet,just perfect. sometimes we get watermelons or strawberries from from a one-product-only truck. usually they're at the peak of ripeness...now if we see a truck with mangos we'd like to make some mango chutney.....

The trucks with either one or several varieties of produce have disapeared from Chapala streets. I seem to remember them coming by twice a week and sure wish they would come back.

I saw the strawberry truck on our street this week. Same for the cookie truck, etc. I am sure the other trucks are still around.

There is one with great prices and a good variety that comes on the back street behind the WEDS. market in Ajijic. it is hit ot miss but it is Weds during market time if you can spot them.

No they haven't. You maybe have when they come by?

Yep last time I saw it was a while ago and I think they changed there route. Old ford pickup truck with cookies and baked goods that pull out

of the back. Usually we saw them in Ajijic around dark. Not seen in a while I am afraid. I try to stay away from it LOL.

That's what I call a real community service!

I wonder if the 'cookie truck' is actually Don Pedro, the baker. His bakery used to be on Nicolás Bravo. Later he moved to the west end of Ajijic. He never had a store; his business is wholesale. If you knew where his ovens were located, you could go to the bakery and buy bolillos, wonderful big cookies, and all kinds of pan dulce hot out of the oven. Another of his specialties is doughnuts. He'd take one--with a long fork--out of the hot grease, fold a paper napkin over it, and hand it to a customer. Bliss! In the early evenings, he (and often his wife) also drove around in an unmarked, battered, faded-green pickup truck and sold bread out of the back end.

If the elusive 'cookie truck' really is Don Pedro, and if you see him on a street near you, be sure to buy his goods. Marvelous!

And let's not forget the ICE CREAM truck with the beach umbrella on the back shading the ice cream.

Oh, I love these trucks. We rented in the village (Ajijic) and I used them all the time. But we will be living in gated community next winter and I do not think they will allow these produce trucks there I did not follow the names of them....just go and look what they have to offer and for how much.
