Doesn't CA still have import restrictions from other states on certain
foods, though?

It's certainly more legal to limit business dealings across state lines than
it is to say "you're not allowed to walk across the border carrying that."

My understanding (having never driven into CA myself) was that there were
certain plants/fruits/whatever that weren't allowed in the state even by
tourists. I always thought it was a little weird myself.

I believe they check at the airports if you're coming in internationally.
There may indeed be laws against importing fruits known to often carry
parasites. (The ban isn't on oranges (say), but on oranges carrying the
larvae of bugs that'll eat all the orange trees in CA. But since you can't
see them from the outside, they ban the oranges.)
But there's nothing stopping you from driving between states. They may
certainly ask you not to bring food stuff, but I don't think they're allowed
to inspect for it. But I'm not a lawyer.

Now I'm curious, will have to check and see. I'd heard that even
domestic fruits weren't allowed in, and that seemed weird to me.

You bet they inspect cars for it. At least, they ask if you're carrying
any fruits or vegetables.
When you say "no," they just wave you through. But if you say "yes," then
they make you throw it away before they let you through.
Washington also bans fruits and vegetables from California, but they don't
have border inspections (so it's kind of an honor system).

I've never been stopped. Not even at checkpoints, let alone at all border
crossing. In international airplanes, yes. Never in the local airport.

That wouldn't surprise me.

We drove down to Vegas three months ago. We weren't stopped at the Oregon
border, or leaving California for Nevada, but we were stopped coming from
Nevada to California.
Maybe it's a random thing?

Maybe. Stopped for a vegetable check? Or stopped for a Mexican check?
I guess someone decided that isn't a "customs" check.
