Eeeyuck! The quality there has gone down so much. Some bolillo we got was moldy- not to mention the pan dulce tastes OLD. So gross.

Meat quality is below average at best. You are definitely getting what you pay for. Feels to me like everything is about to expire. Like a Grocery Outlet. Bought here a few times thinking it was just random bad luck on the quality, but it really isn't. read more

I've been going to this cardenas for about 3 years, and everytime I go I'm always amazed by Veronica Garcia's amazing personality, she always seems so happy to work there, she has a great attitude always smiling. I'm glad I always end up finding her everytime I go in the mornings. read more

The meat department at Cardenas Markets is absolutely trash. I've purchased multiple items from there--both fresh and frozen--and way too often, the meat has been spoiled. Whether it's seafood or other cuts, the quality is completely unreliable. Yes, they'll give you a refund if you have your receipt--but why should customers have to go through that hassle? You get home expecting to cook a quality meal, only to be hit with foul odors and wasted money and time. This has happened more than once, which tells me it's not a one-off issue--it's a problem with how they store or handle their products. Also, be warned: anytime something is on sale in the meat department, it's likely just old meat they're trying to get rid of. A discount shouldn't come with a side of food poisoning risk. Cardenas really needs to step up their standards. Until then, I'll be doing my shopping elsewhere--and I suggest others do the same. read more

We love this location and bakery is amazing.. Buttt be careful with the beans, as we were about to purchase these they had tiny insects inside alive and moving. We noticed and took the cashier and she didn't want to show management, after some time management came out and said, "ohh would you like to exchange" respectfully we told them no and proved them the insects and all the beans with holes, the little bugs were eating the beans inside the new bag. After they seen what was going we told them we don't want them nor we would like for it to be on the shelf in case someone else grabs. Management thanked me and left but the way it happen it was weird hopefully they threw away and not in shelf or sent to headquarters. All I'm saying is check your food before purchase read more

The Bakery ! I've been eating Cakes from Cardenas since I was a little girl (I'm now 30) and honestly I have never in my life had a good enough cake other than Cardenas. I even had it at my sweet 16 ! I recently decided to not pay for a gross over priced cake for my bridal shower and decorate it myself after I picked it up . We asked for all white frosting with strawberries in the inside and vanilla cake. The best decision ! I'm definitely going to do the same for my wedding next month ! Attached is a photo of how it came out . read more

Came in early this morning to do an order for Instacart. I haven't done an order in a while since starting my new job so I was a little unsure on finding some items. Drigo in produce was super helpful. He was more than happy to help and came up after to make sure I was finding things okay. Thanks Drigo! Keep up the customer service, it definitely makes a difference. read more

Terrible customer service and horrible quality of pan dulce. On 12/2/23 at approximately 10:30 am my mom asked for a box from the Bakery area. The lady restocking the conchas told her she was not authorized to hand out a box. What? How are customers suppose to pick and choose a dozen of pan dulce? My mom had to ask 3 different people and did not end up getting her box for the dozen. The employees kept either giving her the run around or said "they didn't know where they were". Instead of buying a dozen, my mom ended up just grabbing three conchas. I'm glad she just grabbed 3 because the Conchas were small and expensive. read more

I was in line where they sell tacos and food and drinks etc. this employee Janet who seemed to be on her lunch was in front of me in line and she casually would go in and out of line to talk to her coworkers passing by. Just walking in and out of line so I asked her if she was in line she said yes, 5 min later she leaves and I turned to see where she went now and she walked away towards carnicería and disappeared. It was now my turn in line and the employee making the food asks what I would like now the girl who left who now ends up at the back of the line says she was there first and I said well you got out of line and left and the employee making the food took her order first Anyone and everyone knows if you leave the line you go to the end if you come back. Janet was hangry lol... read more

No soy de las personas que me gusta dejar reseñas negativas pero en este caso lo tengo que hacer. Fui a Cardenas para comprar unas cosas con mi mamá, y pasamos por donde venden la comida preparada. Le quería pedir a la muchacha que estaba trabajando una cuchara, pero cuando quise agarrar su atención me ignoró. Yo pensé que ala mejor no me vio entonces le sonríe y le dije "disculpa." Y en vez de contestarme, dio la vuelta y se fue para atrás. Y se que me escuchó porque unas de las otras empleadas que estaban comiendo voltearon y me vieron. Después de como 5 minutos regresó y le empezó ayudar a gente que acababan de llegar y otra vez me ignoró! No fue hasta que me escuchó hablar español que me voltio a ver. Terminé esperando y nunca me atendieron y decide irme en vez de quedarme nada más ahí . No era profesional y me sentí tan incómoda y no me gustaría que le pasar lo mismo a otra persona. read more

I visited the Pomona location on Holt with my mother on April 9, 2025 and was very disappointed with the customer service we received. First of all, let's talk about the meat department. We went early, so we were the only ones at the meat counter. As we approached the counter, a female and male worker in the meat department were having a conversation and the woman was using vulgar language. She saw us and asked if we were ready. The male assisted us and he looked to be in a bad mood. My mother thanked him and he ignored her. Now, the worst was the cashier, Adrian. He did an awful job of bagging our groceries and was quite rude. The tomatoes, among other items, were not bagged and they rolled out of the produce bag all over the counter. I was scrambling around trying to get the produce and bag the other items, when he just stuck out his hand to give me an additional bag, but said nothing. I said, "no thank you " and immediately placed all the grocery bags in the cart and left. We will never set foot in this store again!! read more

I decided to give it a one star because there are a few employees that are very nice and hard workers..but the west holt location is horrible ..don't be surprised if the fat short security guard does not harass you as you walk out and think your stealing unless you speak Spanish and know him personally.. he should be fired .. he makes me feel.so uncomfortable every time I go in..it's been a few times he has harassed my family .a few times thinking we steal.and other times decide to open his mouth and say something to my minor child . Not to bounce his ball.. he has no right to speak to him ..u tell the adult then we tell our child.. he's a filthy looking security.. pls find another one .. who has more respect towards your customers especially when we spend a chunk of money for groceries when there are plenty other places that we can go to .where there is friendly people. read more

This place has the worst customer service, I called 2x to speak to a manager the worker who answered the phone refused to pass the phone even hung up on me one of the two times. The reason for my call was to explain the concern on the way they are selling their tamales. I bought a few tamales took them home and when I opened them they were rock hard! I told her she shouldn't be selling product this way, she blamed me for choosing the wrong ones as if I was going to open them all and eat them there to choose the right ones. Definitely, never going back to this store. Imagine how old the tamales must be? Disgusting! read more

Got told we had to wait In The main line to use our coupon for half off a cake at this specific store. Got in the main register line whose light was on and waited for 15 minutes, only to get to the register where she turned off her light, told us wasn't taking anymore. I told her that we had been in her line already. She then proceeded to ring us up after another 10 minutes of her trying to ring us up for our cake she finally called a supervisor over and they told us we couldn't use our coupon. She said it had to be a different cake and we would have to go back and get a different receipt, and we'd have to re-wait in line. What a fucking joke. We will never be fucking coming back to this store and neither will either of our family. I'd love to be contacted by upper management about this. read more

I have been shopping at Cardenas for over 4 years and I've been shopping at the bakery for over two and a half years buying their flan. Well in the last week I can say that I bought flan from there and it totally tastes different from before and I'm saying this because it's for the better they're flan is so tasty so creamy you can taste the caramel it just tastes so good and different from the past that I've been buying it. And their customer service is fantastic I am a flan lover and I will always be. So I know good flan when I taste it. Not that before it wasn't good it was great, but this one that I bought and oh my God it is amazingly delicious read more

Food court is fire. Really like the Burritos and agua fresca. I would recommend to anyone near by.

REVIEW FOR FOOD COURT!!!! Good place to have quick meal maybe lunch or so. You don't wait long unless they have alot of food orders. They bomb as POZOLE. I order with no pata. Just make sure you ask for onion & cilantro. They do not have repollo. I believe they only have on the weekend. They have a great shrimp cocktail that's bang for your buck about $9 bucks. They have stuffed jalapenos that are fire! At least the ones I got where hot as hell! I also have had carnitas, buches, tripas which are pretty good. Tasted the wings they are ok. The chicken is also good. They have breakfast options. As well as many other HOT READY MEXICAN food options. They have great agua frescas! read more

This is a great place to go for a quick meal. The hot deli section "cocina" has amazing food. They have tacos, stews and dinner plates, which I will try next time. I had a Hawaiian torta, which is a round sandwich stuffed with goodness in the following order: ham, egg, more ham, bacon, pineapple, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and jalapeno slices. The flavors of sweetness, spice, savory and toasty bread made for an overwhelmingly good sandwich. At $8 each, the sandwiches here are certainly not cheap. My pina colada drink was a little too thick. It tasted more like a dessert. read more

Always check your price when paying, very, very often they have false and misleading advertising, cashiers are very polite but when management come, they have bad service, with a bad attitude and instead of thanking bc I let them know of the incorrect advertising price they argue that we always have to pay for the price we get when scanning the item regardless of any incorrectly price. I told her that its not fair for customers and it's misleading and unethical. At the end they gave me the price of the advertising but wanted to make me feel that they were giving me a favor, its not about the $ amount, its about being ethical with the customers.Chequen sus precios cuando paguen en esta tienda, seguido tienen ofertas q cuando va una a pagar son mas altas. Los q cobran son amables pero cuando llegan los supervisores tienen una actitud de enojados y dicen q aun q el precio este mal los clientes tienen q pagar el precio q sale cuando escanean, al final me dieron el precio de su propaganda pero como si me estuvieran haciendo un favor, cuando yo se los hice por decirles. read more

The customer service is awful! I called for a manager to express my concerns and they never came! The cashier was rude and seemed as instead of me being a consumer and bringing my business to them would do anything to keep their customers coming back, she tried to make me feel as if she was doing me a favor! I've been in the customer service industry for over 20 years and this by far was very sad as I'm a Latino and supporting latino businesses, never again will I shop here. read more

Not much can be said about a grocery store. I'm not a fan of this store because of the long lines and lack of open cash registers. Their meat department also sucks. After several years of shopping here the cash register situation is always the same. Fair warning for you guys though, the meat department is bad. The smell alone is indicative of old meat. The beef is old and tough to bite into, whereas the poultry smells funny. I've even bought packaged pork and upon opening the package it comes out smelling foul and obviously is expired (it made the cashier gag when she was processing the return). Customer service is good in the meat department, it's just that the quality of their meat is horrendous. I'd recommend checking out Stater Bros ($$), the carniceria ($$) over on Park and Holt, and the Corner Butcher ($$$) shop in La Verne. Avoid the meat department here. read more
