This is Hispanic food market chain with a huge clientele, mostly Hispanic. Unfortunately, it is not well managed, and is noticeably understaffed. Cashiers are not skilled enough to resolve simple situations. I witnessed an employee have a nervous breakdown due to the extremely stressful environment. Employees are performing multiple activities that maybe they were not trained for. On top of that, I waited for 1 hour and 30 min for a simple order of 8 pieces of barbecue chicken. The cashier and manger for that area didn't know how to fix a simple refund after giving me the wrong order. Adding to all that, the food was salty and cold, maybe because for the long waiting. Next time I will go to stater bros . read more

My review in Spanish since 90% of their customers speak Spanish. Please don't go to this place if you don't want to be sick I am 15 years customer of Cardenas Chain. Yo soy cliente de Cardenas por mas de 15 años , inclusive tuve el gusto de conocer al dueño Original de la cadena, cuando el fallecio quedaron sus hijos que no tenian ni idea pero gracias a los empleados lo llevaron adelante. La familia Cardenas vendio las tiendas y los nuevos dueños en poco tiempo han ido destruyendo lo que quedaba de bueno. Hoy fui a comprar un caldo de res, el tamaño de la porcion se redujo a la mitad, no tenia Carne y ademas era viejo, nunca me paso que la papa estuviera tan recocida que se convirtio en pure. La cocinan con cascara ahora , asi que te encontras la cascara sola y sin papa. Llame para protestar y me mandaron ya saben a donde. NO MAS CARDENAS para mi, una ESTAFA read more

If you want crappy service and workers with a crappy attitude go here, their food is only subpar. Their vegetables seem to be what other stores don't want to use. $0.15 cents a bag, when Staters sometimes gives them out for free. The meat department stinks bad, I would never buy meat or seafood here, don't feel like getting food poisoning. We returned some plates because we didn't use them, and the grama working there had the audacity to tell us, O because you didn't use them you are returning them. What business is that of yours, do you own the store? is it coming out of your pocket? Needless to say, whenever anyone asks for something I don't recommend them go to this terrible market, I send them somewhere else. read more

Favorite Mexican Supermarket! They have everything you need from produce, deli, meat section, juice bar, tortilleria (freshly made tortillas), panadería (freshly made bread), and they even have a food area where you can order tacos, burritos, tortas etc for takeout or sit down. Overall the supermarket was clean, however, it was hard to find people who can help on the floor to help find a product we were looking for. read more

For a foodie like me grocery stores and natural food markets and farmera markets are very important. I have not been to this location before but recently I did to get my grocery. The vegetables they are selling have awesome deals, but you have to come early when the actual deal starts and not like that evening. The first batch of those vegetables are the best batch and after that its just not very good. The flyer for deals comes every week and this is the first time I actually took time to read through it. They have really nice deals and their pricing is also not too bad. Overall customer service is just ok. I mean its a grocery store. They do have a full restaurant inside that serve dishes and small plates, however, I have never tried there yet. Their cheeses and creams are phenomenal. This place is not good if you want to buy anything else but vegetables or produce, cheese, baked traditional Mexican foods, meats, salsa, tortillas, chips. Don't buy milk here, don't buy eggs, don't buy bread, don't buy cleaning products, don't buy alcohol, don't buy packaged sauces or juices or sodas. Their produce is the best, fruits are good, so go to fill on those things and not the ones I have mentioned above. For the one's I have mentioned above go to Walmart. read more

Tired of calling numerous times to find out if they have a certain flavor of tamales. Nobody doesn't answer. Ive also had same issue with Cardenas on Lincoln. Guess they don't want my large order. Poor customer service.. read more

Worst store ever!!!! They refused to sell me chamoy dip because I had my 16 year old nephew with me! I'm 27 years old since when can a parent or legal guardian (which I am) not buy chamoy dip with their teenage child????? Manager refused to even talk to me! Unbelievable the worst customer service is at this store just go to Arlington or Corona this one won't even tell you why you can't buy chamoy dip. read more

Conveniently located in the corner of La Sierra and Magnolia in what used to be a VONS grocery store I'm so glad we have one close to us. The prices of the produce here are awesome. I just like getting my essentials here such as onions, garlic, ginger, potatoes and fruits. They're fresh and you just can't go wrong with the price. They have a fresh bakery and oh their tres leches cake is a must try! I've also tried their fruit bar and got some mangoes. Eggs are usually cheap just got one for 2/$3 for an 18 pack and the guacamole that they sell is oh so great - it's fresh, creamy and chunky at the same time! The kids are always requesting the watermelon agua Fresca that they sell here, it tastes so fresh and you'll feel like it's summer all the time, the tacos combo meal is not a bad deal as well because the portion is huge enough to share and it's very flavorful. The store is clean, the staff is friendly, they usually have samples every weekend, the line doesn't get too long and the prices of the produce are very reasonable. read more

I went to buy fresh beef tamales for dinner. There were not any in the refrigerated section so I got some from the steam table. When I got home I found they they were so over steamed the I could not serve them to my family! There are plenty of other stores to buy fresh tamales. I be going to one of them in the future. read more

This food from the kitchen is nothing great. I came here thinking the value would be good but I simply disappointed. $7.99 for menudo which looks kid sized. We also ordered huevos con chorizo and that also was a tiny plate. This was a trial for me... My advice is to go to Taqueria Don Victor or Taqueria Tomateros, or any restaurant that isn't sacrificing quality and value over squeezing profits. Also, they need to do something about their fly problem... read more

Cardenas Markets - Not very good.. - Mexican Near Me - Riverside, California

Funny reading a review about the " did she miss the no colored sign" because that's the exact feeling I got when ordering food. The lady behind the register helped 2 Hispanic ladies before me and walked away once it was my turn to order and never returned to the register. Very raciest feeling when walking through those doors read more

Ordered bean and rice burritos from their cafe, and asked them to cut the burritos in half. They wrapped the burritos in paper and foil, which is usually fine. But they cut the burritos after the foil was already on and there were shards of foil inside the burritos. Burritos tasted good (hence 2 stars) but we were very surprised and unhappy about the foil shards read more

DISGUSTING!!!! I will never buy bread from here ever again. I bought the bread off the baking rack thinking it was freshly made and when I got home, i was looking at the bread in my kids hand and it had MOLD ! DO NOT BUY YOUR BREAD HERE. They are obviously not fresh and someone working there is very dirty. read more

Customer service is non existent here. All employees that are on the older side seem to be angry all they time. I asked a simple question regarding a promotion and they were extremely rude for no reason. Very unprofessional maybe hire some patient people who are glad to be at work and not rude ladies who are frowning all day long. read more

The checkout is ridiculous, only one checker and the self checkout. I pay full price for the groceries, we aren't getting any discounts for self serve and if we want to wait for a checker the wait is long. We have also had some bad experiences with prepared foods within last 2 months, one was expired the other over salted, like the shaker fell into the pot. read more

Irritated! They sold me an expired product from the kitchen, (atole in a 1 Litter canister) at the location on Van Buren. I did not have time to exchange the item the same day, so due to the fact that I had errands to run on the other side of town, I went the following day to the location on La Sierra. The cashier stated that she asked her Manager and that they could not do the exchange because I didn't have a receipt and that I needed to make the transaction at the store on Van Buren. I was annoyed, said fine and walked away. I arrive at the original location of purchase on Van Buren and same nonsense, they made it difficult to simply exchange and expired food product. I was asked to wait until management agreed and finally when I told them how complicated they were making matters, they agreed to the exchange and gave me an attitude about it. read more

They do not guaranteed their meats, customer service was unprofessional and here is the reason why. Yesterday I bought menudo to cook. I made cooked and the meat turned into mush. I called and this is what I was told in a rude manner. There us nothing g we can't do about and hung up on me. That's not how to handle a situation. Very disappointed. Now I'm out $25. Not goi g there again. I have video to prove as well. read more

**Review is solely for the bakery department. Thank you Aurora for helping me with my last minute cake order. The bakery department was very helpful. However I wish the cream cheese filling would actually be creamy and with more fresh fruit options. Currently they have only banana strawberry or pineapple. I don't know why they make you pay $15.00 on top of the price of the cake for the plastic stands that hold the cake up. I had the bring it back the next day :/ read more

I've been going to Cardenas markets for 8 years now and have been getting burritos at least once a month on average. This Cardenas gave a burrito the size of my iPhone SE. Tiniest thing I've ever seen, looks like I got a burrito from taco bell but half the length. read more

This is a chain of Hispanic supermarket located in the Inland Empire. This is one of the newer stores and its nice and clean. I love buying their promotional fruits and vegetables here. The prices are really reasonable. I've tried their cooked foods and found it too salty for my taste. Have not bought any thing from the meat station yet. They have a fresh bakery and tres leche cakes. Be prepare for long and slow lines. Their advertised item have a funky way of showing up on your receipt as a marked down. read more

This place is terrible ! EVERYTIME I go they somehow don't have Masa , &' There's NO ONE in the tortillera , like what is this ! If you want Masa go to the one on Van Buren , don't waste your time here ! I literally go different hours EVERYTIME ! &' I asked the people and they both gave me different times how annoying, their own workers don't even know when it " closes " cause it literally ALWAYS closed ! read more

This is the second supermarket in the Cárdenas chain to open in Corona. This one is still relatively new and much nicer than the one on Lincoln by the 91 which is much older and dated. The counterpart to Ranch 99 this one is great for all things Hispanic. They have freshly made tortillas, guacamole, tamales and a variety of salsas that are so, so, soooo much better than anything at the American supermarkets. They have a nice dining area in the corner of the market. They have a counter where you can order tacos, burritos, tortas and a variety of other hot dishes. They have an ongoing special that's a dynamite deal that's worth trying. Every Wednesday and Thursday you can get 8 pieces (4 legs and 4 thighs) grilled El Pollo Loco style, 1 dzn fresh corn tortillas and and 8 oz. of fresh salsa for $6. You can also buy the cooked meats (carnitas, asada, pollo...) reasonably by the pound (4.5 lbs for $14). Buy a stack of fresh made tortillas and a tub of fresh made salsa. I used to do this for my kids youth group. It was always popular and I could feed a nice size group easily for not so much $$. read more

I have to go here because it's the only place close by that sells fresh tortillas and the lady's in the kitchen are always super chill. However when asking where any carts available while holding my grand-baby greeter by the door just said there isn't any instead of having courtesy or any customers service and finding a cart. I don't believe anyone that works here is very happy they all look miserable and mad! Hope u. improve Cardenas! read more

Cardenas is mainly an Inland Empire Mexican/Hispanic grocery chain similar to El Super, Superior, and Northgate. The clientele are mostly Spanish speakers as are the employees but not to worry, a lot of the employees speak English as well. This store opened this summer in what used to be a Vons so it's very clean and new inside. There is a tortilleria, panaderia, meat counter, ceviche bar, smoothie/snack bar, and a cafe. If you're in search of "ethnic" ingredients, you'll most likely find them here. There are cuts of meat you don't find at Stater Brothers, Costco, Ralphs, and the like, although the quality isn't always great. They have ready made masa, fresh hominy, husks for tamales, and much more. The fruits and vegetables are always on sale but other items such as cereal, cleaning supplies, and other household items are more expensive than at a traditional store. The cafe is a skip in my book. The rice looks and tastes like it comes in a bag, the beans are flavorless, and it just doesn't taste as Mexican food should. The one thing I can recommend are the aguas frescas, they have about 10 choices and are inexpensive. One thing I cannot look past is that they keep the fruits for the snacks/smoothies in the same cooler as the ceviche. I don't know about you but i'd rather my fruits not taste or smell fishy. read more

So yesterday I went to buy some Toppings I needed for dinner & on the side some other thing's I needed for the week. I then leave the store and realize an hour later that I was being charged for something I never even got. So I then go back to the store & I was told by a young man that there was no manager come back tomorrow. ( not time was given to show up to receive help). I then show up today at 4 pm because I just got out of work & the supervisor who helped me Out MARIA!! Was just everywhere. She wanted to help me out & be a cashier at the same time.. so I then moved away & good her I would wait. She then asked me what I needed & I told her about the situation & all she kept saying was that I should go home check my groceries blah blah blah & said she couldn't help me out that I would have to go back tomorrow around 6am-8am because the managers leave after that time & no one can access the camera. Honestly this sucks, I never thought I would have a problem at this store and have to deal with a dumb ass supervisor that doesn't know how to be professional. read more

If there was a 0 I'd give them that cashier and supervisors are extremely rude. make sure you don't go into this store if your white and or with a purse any larger then your wallet because they'll assume your stealing, I literally came in with my work bag and laptop and as I'm checking out she asked if I paid for the meat I said ya clearly kids on my receipt, I asked why she questioned it and she states because I can is there a problem. Uh ya I've never been questioned buying groceries so I'm a little confused. Completely baffling especially being that my brother in law is the dm of this company I'm surprised they allowed such a rude person to supervise this store. read more
