    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.

    ANOTHER PERFECT CAKE!!! This bakery, hands down, is simply THE BEST!!! We ordered this vanilla cake…read morew/buttercream frosting & vanilla cream filing for my mother's 87th birthday, and it was truly EXQUISITE!!! Everyone at the party couldn't believe how fresh, light and divine the cake was. Thank you for making our birthday celebration DELICIOUS :)

    Got a special ordered cake here last weekend for a special someone!…read more Let me tell you how amazing and wonderful my experience was here. First: the CAKE. Funfetti--because turning 40 doesn't mean we can't still have fun, right? I added cream cheese frosting and it was so light and fluffy! It was a huge hit with our party of 20. The design was perfect, totally on-theme, and it became the center of attention the moment everyone walked into our Airbnb. They instantly knew they were in the right place with good vibes. The staff was top notch. We called to let them know we were on the way, and they gave us clear directions to their location in the strip mall (on the back side--FYI). She also told us our cake was stunning and ready for pickup. She was so kind and careful when handing it over, and even gave step-by-step instructions on getting it home safely and storing it. I highly recommend this place if you want to trust your vision to a company that truly cares about making your cake as beautiful as possible!

    My first time trying Aspen Mills and my review falls somewhere between a 3.5 and a 4. For good…read moremeasure I'll give them a 4 but jury is still out on this spot for me. I think my expectations for this spot were a bit high as the reviews on here for the most part are glowing reviews and when I found some foodie influencers reviewing this spot on social media, they really hyped up the sandwiches. So much so it finally encouraged me to give this spot a try. I came during Christmas week which I do understand is a crazy week, especially for a spot like this as they seemed to have a lot of breads and desserts flying off of the shelves. So maybe their attention to detail was a little off? I came in to grab a sandwich for myself and my family. Went with three different varieties. I got the prime cut and then ordered the Tuscany and the my cousin Vinnie. My family said their Italian style sandwiches were just so so. I kind of felt the same way about my prime cut but I did like mine a little more than they liked theirs. Initially when I came in I really wanted to try their tuna sandwich with cheese jalapeño bread as this was one of the sandwiches highly reviewed but when I asked the gal about the freshness of the tuna, she let me know they make it every other day. I really appreciated her honesty, which is another reason I'm playing the 4 stars. Some places just BS you or tell you what you want to hear but I'm glad she was truthful to say, every other day. It's not that this is "bad" but with tuna I get weird and only could order it if it was fresh that day. So I skipped. Went with the prime cut which was a roast beef type of sandwich. The prime cut sandwich itself was an overall 3/5. My biggest critique was that the bread tasted super dry, almost stale? Maybe that's the style of that darker bread...I've never ordered it before but it wasn't for me and just made the sandwich a bit too dry, even after getting extra sauce. Despite the bread issue, I loved the rare roast beef and the zucchini was a lovely touch in the sandwich. Unique and I really liked that! Horseradish cream was tasty too, on the mild side but good. Overall the bread just didn't seal the deal for me. I'd come back here but not as a first choice sandwich option. I will say the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The store was clean and good signage for the sandwiches. Seemed like a popular place as lots of people in and out. A cute little perk is that the sandwiches come with a small side of potato salad and a pickle. Love that. The potato salad was actually delicious, 5/5. So random I know, but I loved it and I'd pay for a side of that for sure.

    The bread products and croissant are out of this world! I purchased a sourdough loaf! A chocolate…read moreand almond croissant they were amazing!
