I went to the Torrance Farmer's Market (Saturdays, Crenshaw and Plaza Del Amo) and had my first taste of the Gaviota Strawberry. I had heard about them before and I absolutely love them. They are slightly more expensive ($13 per 3 baskets), but they are totally worth it. They are sweeter, delicate, and they have significantly less acidity than normal strawberries. In fact you can't even taste the acidity in the strawberry (you know that kind of tangy taste). If you love strawberries, you must try them. I believe you can find them at the Santa Monica's Farmer's Market as well. 
The sausage quesadillas from the sausage stand
Chicken and Cheese PupusaI also had some delicious eats with my friend Sarah who happens to live conveniently across the street from the market. We wanted to eat the same thing that we had last time, the sausage quesadillas, which are filled with potatoes, eggs, onions, and spicy Cajun sausages. It is more than enough for two people. I also had my eye on the Pupusas, an El Salvadoran food that consists of thick corn maize tortilla, cheese, chicken, chile, and some other ingredients I couldn't quite decipher. It came with some pickled cabbage coleslaw, salsa, and a lovely dollop of sour cream....all for just 2 bucks! I am definitely a fan of the pupusa. Here are some other random shots from the market.
