JL Produce — Attraction in Mountain View

Never again. Be careful. 1 star - too high for this one. Maybe I expected too much of 4.4 rated store. But there are several things that made my impression: it's not possible to find labels for many products, you can't understand how much particular product costs. Not convenient but OK, possible to put up. Loud music - I understand, I should pay for low prices (they are not too low, some products are cheaper, some are not VS other stores). But the most unpleasant incidents were at cashier's deck. He asked if I need a bag, I said "no" but he put all my products in the bag. Ok, maybe I didn't say loud enough. But when I went out the store and check the receipt I found one product that I didn't buy. So, he got this product for free and I paid for it (I think it works this way).

Some of my favorite products here are Labne kefir cheese, huge Santa Rosa eggs sold by a dozen, and Indian grilling cheese. Portobello mushrooms are always firm and fresh, green herbs luscious and sold in generous bunches, much cheaper than at Safeway, Mexican onions are delicious - tastier than scallions - and tri-color little tomatoes, orange, yellow, and red, are the best, both fresh...

JL Produce is my go-to place for groceries now. Closer to where I live than Safeway, good opening hours (until 09:00 pm or so) and great selection. Fresh fruit and veggies for very reasonable prices, cheap good meat and fish, and cool Mexican and Russian products to try when you're feeling adventurous. They also have Mexican pastries and ACME bread! I also get my milk and yogurt there. Their taqueria is a hidden gem, they make tasty tacos for really cheap, using the very same meat that they sell. They sometimes have aguas frescas (fresh fruit and water drinks) made in-house to go with...
