Culebra is not very vegetarian friendly. You can find good old standby's - potatoes and onions, easily, but may have to visit several stores to find greener items. Mayra, Milka and Isla del Sol stores have the best selection, but you may need to go several different days to see if anything new has arrived. You can often find carrots, celery, iceberg lettuce and green peppers. Tomatoes are generally pink and mealy, but tolerable. Fruits are abundant - papayas, mangoes, plaintains and "florida" avacadoes in season. Rice and beans are easily found too. You can probably make it a few days or a week, but you'll be craving fresh veggies when you get home.
To answer your specific question, the fruit truck quit running several years ago, and there are no roadside stands specifically for fruits or veggies.
Happy Diving!
