Valencia Whole Foods is not a Whole Foods, which makes you wonder why the megachain hasn’t sued its ass off the map. Our smaller, cozier, local store is stocked with all sorts of expensive, but organic produce (perhaps the only place in the Mission to get good selection of organic produce?). The guys who run it are of some sort of Middle Eastern descent, which means yummy olives, humus, baba ganouj and other delicacies in the deli counter at the back, which is my favorite thing about the place.
