Store has been re-arranged. More of a Farmers Market look. Not a variety of vegetables. Need to rotate. Some are already browning. Not many cashiers available and not to many shoppers in the store. Beer-BudLight Lime and picante or other single varieties not in stock...

Produce, meats & grocery sections are very good and well stocked. The quality in service at the cafeteria has diminished, the food is good the service needs improvement.

I love coming to Cardenas. They only charge $0.50 for money orders. Only bad thing is sometimes there is a line at the office. But if you have a few extra minutes its better than paying $5.00 at your bank!

Horrible service in the kitchen area, long line and wait, second time going to find out they dont have their more famous items, chicken and carnitas usually just one cook and one cashier. They should put up a sign to let people in line know that they are out of items 😡

They need to be more fast at the kitchen I just made 1/2 hour on line of 5 customers ridiculously slow

I ordered 2 x tubs of guacamole for $2.50 each. I received only one small container which I believe is the .75 cent guacamole. I don’t think this was the drivers fault as Cardenas did this to me last time I ordered from them. They are usually good in person but they rip you off in deliveries.

The store is good. But too many people on certain times of hours and the cashiers arent many. Ive seen sometimes theyd put too many cashiers when it aint necessary. (Its only an opinion.) But what I did like is that I wanted certain fresh herbs and your store got them for me. Chicken is awesome. Avocado dip guacamole price is little high.

Worst customer service I called 3 times trying to get a price check from meat department, I after waiting for the longest time I was told they couldnt help me with info. because they are not aloud to confirm prices. 🤯🤯

I love this store especially if your making Mexican Food. They literally have everything you need you make anything Mexican. The place is very clean and the staff are efficient. This is where you get my reason for rating them so low. They dont have baggers. I actually complained to one of the supervisors. I said After spending nearly $140 I have to bag my own groceries. Really!!!!

Review №54

The food and products they sell are good. Too bad the customer service is horrible. You have everything from cashiers giving you attitude to the food court associates not using gloves or hairnets while serving food and tables being super dirty. This place needs a management overhaul to get things back in order.

In general weve gotten decent food from the lunch/dinner counter, but it was beyond disgusting today. The carnitas were entirely fat and some long dripping pieces of animal(?) fat(?), that werent identified as food. Both the rice and beans were cold and gross.

Absolutely love this store. Clean. Friendly, welcoming employees. Some items a little pricey, but worth it! They carry items most stores do not... unless you want Walmart quality. Fresh tortillas made daily. Restaurant. A very nice experience.... with fresh Tres Leches to die for!!!!
