5 Stars - Hidden Gem for Mediterranean Food & Groceries
Red Tomatoes Farmers Market is a true hidden gem in Rancho Cucamonga. I would have never known about this place if my friend, who lives nearby, hadn't put me on. It's a Mediterranean halal market stocked with all the imported Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean goods you could ever want--spices, specialty ingredients, and marinated meats ready for grilling. But the real star here? The café.
If you're looking for super authentic Mediterranean food, this is the spot. Their beef kabobs and kefta kabobs are next level--perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. And let's talk about their hummus. Oh. My. God. It's ridiculously smooth, topped with fresh olive oil and chopped parsley, and served with their freshly baked flatbread--made in a stone-fired oven and slightly whole wheat in color. It's perfection.
Their rotisserie chicken is another must-try, served over flavor-packed basmati rice with red onions and fresh lemon. Same with the kabobs--everything comes on a beautiful bed of rice, and the flavors are unreal.
If you want to recreate the experience at home, the market side has you covered. They sell fresh meats, marinated kebabs, lamb, and all the traditional spices you'd need to cook up an amazing Mediterranean meal. But honestly? I come for the café. Every. Single. Time.
If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. This place is so, so good.
