The place is clean and the service great! The problem is though the food being the best value is not very fresh!!! In fact some of it has rotted before you get home!! You must know your produce!! Seems here lately the produce is even more "less then fresh" then normal. We purchased strawberries, and lycée nuts both had become uneatable less then 16hours later. So it may look to be a bargain but it won't be if it goes in the trash when you get home! read more

I can't believe I have been coming to Palm Springs for almost a decade and never heard about Cardenas. The best Carne Asada and Pork Carnitas I've ever had. Sold by the pound so all you need to do is by some soft tacos, salsa and guacamole and you have a wicked taco bar at home. The breads and pastries looked great as well and we will definitely be trying those on a future visit. All sorts of cool Mexican stuff you don't see at most grocery stores so it's also fun to buy some snacks or sweets that your kids haven't tried before. read more

I shop at Cardenas for Hispanic goods. Their price in vegetables is cheap but vegetables do not last, they go bad quickly. I have found many expired items at Cardenas such as sour cream, cheese, eggs, bread, can goods and milk. The Cardenas Milk sometimes has gone bad not even close to its expiration date. It's like cottage cheese. I have gone to store to try and speak to manager and each time I have tried they keep me waiting for over 20 minutes. So I leave. Now I go there still just to get the necessities for my cooking because I can't get my Salvadorian goods anywhere else. Please do a better Job at taking out Expired items, i hate to keep checking every item, makes my shopping take twice as longer as it would be if I trusted your store and your employers. read more

Wonderful real Mexican grocery. You can watch them make their fresh tortillas, all kinds. Their salsa is to die for. Many varieties. We like the quacatilla best. Guacamole and tomatillos mixed. At least 20 varieties. read more

I am beyond annoyed n upset, I purchased some sweet bread from this place and as I was selecting some I noticed that there was mold on some of the empanadas n I notified the lady in the bakery and she said it wasn't mold that it was part of the filling, I picked some out for my 82 yr old mom anyway n as she went to eat it she got sick n threw up from one bite, called to talk to a manager n the woman who answered informed I couldn't talk to her n what do I want? I said I need to talk to a manager n she said she is in a meeting n hung up on me, WTH read more

I love shopping here everything is always clean the produce looks amazing and the fresh pan!!!! And all the beautiful latinas that go there.

I truly enjoy shopping here only problem is the mess people leave behind in the parking lot and all of the homeless people bugging me for money not food but money. I do like being inside the store but dread parking and walking in and out. read more

What a treat this place is! We were in town for a mini vacation and were told that Cardenas was a must see. It was fabulous! Just walking around and seeing the variety of food was well worth driving out there. Fun place! read more

poor service but what's new with a Mexican store they like to give bad service to their costumers that way this people come back for more lol....I no longer come to this store cause they always have people trying to check out and they only have two cashiers working when they can open every single one of those 25 cashier registers in the store. are you kidding me a big marker like this cant afford more staff to attend to the costumer to check out items? read more

What a cool store! The produce is diverse and super fresh. Great prices and super clean. The fresh made tortillas are delicious and they have a whole counter of house made mayo, cheese, sausage, ceviches. Don't miss out! read more
