 two men preparing food
ChezZY S.

My friends think that it's funny that I like to Yelp .. So they wanted to bring me some place that they thought was Yelp worthy. (they don't do Yelp)... So, knowing that I am a fan of good Mexican food and cooking it they brought me here to Cardenas. Cardenas is like the best thing wrapped into one store. You know that ice cream man that pushes a cart making shaved snow with flavored syrup on top. Well, those things are called raspados and they have a raspodo area in here which makes fresh (no crap) toppings. Like strawberry, coconut, tamarindo the list goes on. They have mangos on a stick with pico de gallo on top... Fresh fruit salads.. THE BEST MEXICAN BAKERY IN THE WORLD TOO! The cakes are amazing to look at. Huge over sized 15-enera and wedding cakes here that are so goddy it's insane! There is also a tortilleria here where they make fresh corn and flour tortillas. YES, HOMEMADE! There is even a little area where they grill chicken on a huge grill in front of you. They make fresh salsa here too. They even have little sample booths here like Costco. Except better because it's their food that are samples. Fresh and good! They have a meat department here as well as a seafood department. This place was rad! I left with tortillas and some pastries. The grocery part is rad too. I just wish that one of these stores would open in Orange County. This place was super rad and super clean. I'm coming back to the area today so I am for sure coming back here. I am bringing the boy here today. I think that he would dig it just as I did. Why four stars.. Well.... customer service sucks ass here. We waited F-O-R-E-V-E-R! to order and pay at the raspado area. Little Sleepy with her bad electric blue eye shadow and thick over exaggerated eye liner and black lip liner around the lips and no lipstick was too busy with her gossip as was her home-girls to help us out. Hi asshole's I want to give you money!! WTF!! the chocolate covered strawberries were good!

I love our local Cardenas Market!! Fresh fruit and veggies. Every where you turn you see beautiful colors and wonderful smells. Most of the time all the employees are friendly but we all have bad days but thats ok. If just once, you have to walk through a Cardenas market!!;)

Horrible customer service. Check out lines can become very long. It's unfortunate, because the prepared foods are usually good.

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes…read morewide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line... Yes this place is legit. I will walk this line to get something from TKB. 4/5 Service The line can look intimidating but moves rather quickly to order. Getting your food, we'll you have to wait. My party all got their food and ai was just standing there like a little kid waiting with anticipation. 5/5 Food I am just thinking of how warm the sandwich was. Went with the special of the day. I can still savor it, makes my mouth water. The Smoked Pastrami was delicious! Pastrami was tender, the garlic buttered french roll added a nice flavor along with the French fries. 5/5 Ambiance Seating in or outdoors. Lots of space even when it's busy. 5/5 Parking Spots are as available as the chips along the line inside. 6/5 Likelihood to Return I can't wait for work to send me to Indio again so I can try another one and walk the line to order. Psalm 5:9, God bless and Stay Prayed Up

The sandwiches were tasty with LOTS of meat. TKB does NOT skimp. Today we arrived and were seated…read moreoutside because we had our dogs. It was well after the lunch rush but it was pleasantly busy. Employees were friendly and checking on patrons, serving food and tending to empty tables. We had been waiting awhile, so I carried our number in with me and made note of the numbers they were delivering... which were higher numbers than ours, but also very random. I went to the cash register and asked the employee if they called the numbers in order. She answered politely that no they didn't. I then mentioned we were sitting outside and asked if I should wait inside for my order so they wouldn't have trouble finding us. We were not in a hurry and were trying to make it easy on the hardworking employees....and bonus that it was cool inside *At that point, a man who I perceived was a manager or maybe even the owner , turned to me from behind the counter, handed me a bag and said " Here Ma'am , GO!" Then turned back around to what he was doing. What? GO? I don't know what his intent was because I'm not a mind reader, but it felt rude and dismissive. His facial expression was as though he was busy and or annoyed. I was so surprised at his response in such an otherwise pleasant environment. I'm pretty tolerant of grumpy people (you know, sometimes there's a reason) but this just felt really icky -it was our intended destination after a hot drive from Phoenix and it did not sit well with us. We won't be returning. Food =10 Customer service = so disappointing 3

This spot that was featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, and it definitely lives up to the…read morereputation. Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

Service was excellent. Seated immediately and ordering minutes later. Got extra cream cheese on request and our coffees were diligently refilled. The main attraction was the pastrami sandwich. Totally to my wife's taste, extremely lean and stacked high. She had to take half home. I tried an omelette with corned beef and loved it. The everything bagel was perfectly acceptable, not too "bready." So: service good, pastrami good, and bagel good. Everything good about a deli is covered.

It was cold out, but I still requested to sit outside. They were short a server and still graciously accommodated my request, which I truly appreciated. I ordered the beignets, a side of bacon, and orange juice. The beignets came in a set of four -- crisp on the outside and soft, pillowy yumminess on the inside. I skipped the syrup because honestly, they didn't need it. Anything extra would've taken away from how good they already were. And the bacon? Crispy to perfection. With tip, it came out to $38.02. I can't speak to the full menu since I only tried the beignets and bacon, but based on that alone, I would absolutely recommend this place. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Even the patrons were lovely...smiling and wishing me a good morning as they passed my table. It's quiet on Sunday mornings, which makes it perfect if you're dining alone with a good book. I'll definitely be back.
