Ventura County provisions - where do you buy international ingredients?

I'm trying to make a list of all the international markets in the county and want to include every little hole in the wall that has specialties - like Greco's Pizza in Thousand Oaks that sells Italian ingredients in the back of the restaurant.

I already have
General
Every supermarket but especially Whole Foods

Mexican
Jons - Simi
Central Market - Thousand Oaks
Supermercado La Gloria - Oxnard
Vallarta - Oxnard

South Asian
Apna Spiceland - Thousand Oaks
What's the place in Simi on LA Ave?
The new place on Main Street Ventura, midtown?

Italian
Greco's Pizzeria
The Italian deli in Ventura near Office Depot
Shamsi Deli - Ventura

Middle Eastern
Diar - Thousand Oaks
Shamsi Deli - Ventura

Argentine
Shamsi Deli - Ventura

Oaxacan
El Oaxaqueno Restaurant - Oxnard

Japanese
The place in Ventura near Bed Bath & Beyond??

Ok, help a girl out! All suggestions appreciated.

      Hi, Snackish!
      This is a fun project...I just wish we had more really good ethnic market options here in Ventura County. You have, however, reminded me of a few I had forgotten.

      I will add Bauducco's Italian market/restaurant in Westlake Village. Also, there is the Italian Deli and market in Agoura Hills on Kanan.
