I went to Cardenas by Palmdale Rd and a homeless guy walked in to buy food like a normal human being and the MANAGER and a blonde lady working at self checkout called him and i quote "asqueroso" which means disgusting and proceeded to spray fe breeze all over and made it so obvious. Extremely rude and judgmental instead of helping someone in need. read more

Great service to this day, still coming regularly. Still very helpful, insightful, and great service

Muchas gracias Hilda!! read more

I had a really great experience at the store thanks to Heraclio in the meat department. I was looking for a specific spice and a certain type of fresh cheese for a recipe, and I couldn't find them anywhere. Heraclio was so kind and offered to help. Even though the items were on the other side of the store, he walked me all the way over and made sure I found everything. He answered my questions and didn't make me feel rushed at all. He was very patient, friendly, and knowledgeable, which made the whole experience easy and stress free. It's rare to get that kind of customer service these days, and I really appreciated it. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping customers. I truly appreciated his kindness! read more

Cardenas needs to up their tamale game. I got the cheese and green chile tamales, and they are probably the worst I've ever tasted. No flavor. The spice is there, but the masa and everything else has absolutely no flavor. Very disappointed. Will be going to Superior for my tamales from now on. read more

The store is freezing! I've been there three times this month and the store is always freezing.! I would rather go to superior shop in a warm environment. Get your heater fixed.! I wasn't the only customer upset about the temperature in the store. read more

Over prize Guacamole, dark and lemony, their marinated meats way too salty couldn't even eat it! and let's not talk about their pricey old pico de gallo! Things had to go on waste cause we live far from store to returned it! read more

I'm not sure whose mom, abuelita, tia failed them but to whoever cut the nopales that come in the little bags- please ask for help, google it, look it up on YouTube, check out the local Vallarta for a better example because the way these nopales were cut was horrible. Like were these cut with the idea that they were going to the kitchen to be blended up into the juices so like size and uniformity didn't really matter? Was it your first day? Was is it your last day so you didn't really care?? Like what is the story here??? Please cut the nopales better! read more

Horrible customer service from lady at self checkout, the price tag on the water was left on the shelf. I asked to honor the price, and she looked upset because she had to honor it.apperantly, she does not understand customer service. Time was 18:53:22 store #37 in Victorville 14528 Palmdale road Victorville ca 92292. The lot attendant is super nice he should be at self checkout, and this lady needs to go to the lot she should not be at self checkout. I hope management does something about it because I love this store and I will continue to go because I know not everyone is as ignorant of customer service as her read more

I liked this stored till recently. Out of all the bad things I heard people say but I never believed it. I thought it was people just complaining about nothing but now that it happened here I seen the light! Blessed be the the fruit! Because at Cardenas the fruit is one of the few things I ain't mad at! Praise be! Lol. Yes the honeymoon stage is over. Let me explained what happened. So I went in to go get some cilantro and onions for our homemade tacos. Also to get some Mexican candy to ship out overseas. So I get to the stores meat counter and I ask for the country style ribs they had on sale. They said they had no ribs on sale. What they showed me appeared to be cut pieces of what ever was left from wherever but it wasn't any part of the ribs. So feeling I misread I went home. At home I reached for the ad and there it is. Country style ribs! I called and management told me it was on sale so I went back. I went to the butcher area and showed him the ad. He said "Yeah this is it. I don't know why they label it like that. There has been a lot of confusion about it. They just call it ribs." They got me on the "Ol switch a Roo". Cardenas this was able let down. I spent over $120 in groceries in hopes to get some cheap ribs and at no fault to the butcher Cardenas Conned us! Now to the Candy. This is a Mexican store. Why does it have so little choices? Vallarta slaughters them on variety. Hell Walmart did also! As a matter of fact Cardenas your Mexican card is puulled and I'm giving it to El Walmart's! Lol it's a shame man! I haven't been this disappointed since Del Taco on Palmdale rd in Victorville. Shout out to them BTW! read more

I had a great experience at the Hesperia Cardenas. I did a order pick up and i needed help to find groceries Cardenas employees are rud at this location really rude. I purchase meat and show my order to the meat clerk and he gave me a face he got my item and toss the bag to me. Not nice !! I went yo the front end to self check out had a scanning problem and the lady gave me a ugly look cause i mess up. I will never go to this Victorville Cardenas even if i have to pick up a order. I had a bad experience. read more

Do not do your groceries here. The produce is bad quality everything looks old and moldy. Their meat look unsanitary. Protect your family by NOT shopping here read more

I went once, and my experience is that the staff would rather service the Hispanic community. The store itself is good, the service, not horrendous, just unwelcoming if you're not Hispanic. read more

I used to come to this place to buy only produce products. The quality of produce is horrible now. You'll see moldy strawberries, dragonfruit, and other fruits. It's not giving the "freshness" as this company advertises. Let alone, the one star reviews on how bad customer service is. It's understandable why employees aren't giving the best service when the managers are so awful and rude. I spoked to the store manager. Short guy with glasses, he was very unprofessional. When I asked about my son applying to work here. he pointed at a sign n walked away. And it's not the first time I experienced such rudeness from management especially when prices aren't even correct sometimes. This is why i rather go to Winco. No issues there. Such a shame for this company. read more

I've been standing in front of the ceviche for 15 minutes waiting for service. 11/15/22! Sent my daughter to stand in line. The servers just look at you and pretend they don't hear you when you ask for help. Don't get ceviche on Taco Tuesday... it's a waste of your time read more

Very rude to people who aren't Hispanic. You are on American soil and all you hire is Mexicans Americans of different races go in your market to support your business bye spending there money and your food court is very rude in giving you what you ask for and in fixing a burrito and other food and if there is a Hispanic in line you fix there food even better sounds like a discrimination lawsuit read more

I recently decided to shop here, and I absolutely won't be coming back. I believe this company is Price gouging when it comes to grocery items. My kids wanted to get a couple snacks. When I looked at this prices, I was petrified. Sure let's blame "inflation".. but I was like "wow" if I go to Walmart this pack of cookies would cost $3, even at winco it would cost $3. But for you to price it triple the amount of its cost. That's insane. When it came to checking out, oh boy... the lines long. Does this company even hire enough workers? I waited in like for 30 minutes, only one cashier. I also waited in the fruit bar section because I wanted a bionico , but there isn't any workers and other workers that aren't from that department were trying to help me out. Which I appreciate that, It's just unbelievable that you come to shop and you don't have a staff of workers to provide customer services Or the ones being exploited trying to help me and unfortunately don't know how to do that job because that's not there job. Again I don't blame them. Just overall I feel like the long wait lines, and expensive prices. Just make me shop elsewhere. And cookies aren't the only thing expensive, a lot of grocery items I'd shop elsewhere. It's unfortunate for those who are lower class trying to feed there families. Corporate greed at its finest here. read more

Everyone here is racist. The old lady behind the food counters are rude and miserable. Was trying to Order on 2 different occasions and the same lady deliberately ignored me, Waited for a Hispanic person to walk up and proceeded to try help them first. Ridiculous. I'll be calling the BBB read more

My mom loves going shopping here for months she always spends hundred on groceries and every time literally everytime their fish grinder doesn't work or "is missing a part" they have an excuse and we had to grab a higher up to make them grind fish for us this is has happened to my mother like 10 times not even exaggerating at all. i asked her how many times do they tell her excuses and she gave me the number 10 and just in the past few months. Lmao somebody needa get fired they probably hide machine parts to not work the grinders. read more

I won't go back. Corona Virus Pandemic is in full effect, all workers are required to wear masks. You would think that a large chain store such as Cardenas would up hold this mandate. Nope. Let's see, the guy stocking the produce literally had his mask under his chin. The employee serving hot fresh bread was completely mask less walking around the area serving bread to customers. When he was done, he went to work going in and out of the back room with boxes stocking merchandise. I was going to get an Agua Fresca but the server behind the counter was preparing drinks with no gloves and had her mask under her nose. Complete disregard for health and safety. Won't be back. read more

If I had an option to mark down the store to zero stars I would even half a star, I have visited this store dozens of times and on different days I have notice the store managers being very abusive towards their employees. I even asked the store manager for help numerous times and I was always greeted with unbelievable rudeness, I did not wanna believe it but this was my favorite store, not any longer, this store should not continue doing the things they are doing. not to customers and especially for those that work for them. I am so disgusted with management, my husband was also treated unfairly they discriminated him in front of his face and all he did was ask for help locating an item just because he is African American they had no knowledge that he knew Spanish, they insulted him badly. i am overwhelmed with anger and just embarrassment as a Latina , this just makes me feel awful to be apart of this community. I hope this helps anyone read more

I absolutely love this store but the service is beyond ridiculous. I literally stood here in line while they made drinks for their fellow employees. Last time I checked you take care of the customers first! I'm not kidding I was literally ignored! Then she finally decides to help me just to tell me they don't have what I want. All she had to do was ask me when I stepped up to the counter is how can I help you and I'm sorry we don't have blah blah blah today. Customer service is a lost art! read more

During these times (COVID-19) we need to follow guidelines. Mask are mandatory in California at this time. I noticed an employee coming from the back of store, into public not wearing his mask, walks over to where the fresh bread and sweet bakery is. The area is roped off so no one will contaminate ( great idea) he proceeds to help the line with no mask on, no gloves on and speaking as he bags the bread with no mask. Thanks again for following the rules. Disgusting!! read more

On 7/12/22 we purchased some ranchera style meat from your butcher. Upon arriving we asked the butcher for flank meat commonly used for bbqing. We cooked it and it was horrible, we noticed it was a lot thicker than flank meat normally is. We have bought ranchera before and know the difference. Now either you have people that don't know the difference or don't care what they are selling. I'm sure a big corporation like Cardenas would like to have good customer service and make sure that customers are happy with there purchases. Flank meat is normally thin and diesmillo meat as they call it is thicker. For 9.99 a pound you can be sure I'll complain when I don't get what I wanted. In the future I hope your employees are better trained or know the difference. Instead I get an employee that said to me they don't speak English. That was terrible. Ruined our whole dinner, not even our dog wanted it. Please hire better trained help. read more

I have been going to Cardenas mark for my masa for tamales for year. It has always been delicious. Not so much this year. I purchased $80 worth and made my tamales for the family gathering. I had several people comment on how "crunchy " the masa was. It was very gritty when I prepared them but thought maybe it would be ok but no. Very disappointed this year. read more

The store is ok. I've been there twice now. Don't care for the way it's set up with half isles going in the opposite directions. Too many side stacks for such a small place. No flow through for when it's busy. Prices are much higher than the other Mexican markets in the area. Several areas in the market you could smell something rancid. Someone isn't rotating in house product properly. Not only is that unpleasant to smell but also hazardous for customers to consume. Cashiers are friendly and helpful. Front end manager was rude and argumentative over a price discrepency. Anyone who has worked grocery knows not to be argumentive with customers over such simple things. After leaving I found a second price discrepency on my receipt that was 1.49 over shelf price. Didn't bother going back in to deal with her again. Im not happy with this store so I won't be going back again. There are plenty of other Mexican markets in the area so I'll stick with El Super and Vallarta. Overall not counting the rude management, they are just too over priced on everything. read more

Helpful staff. Very clean store. Lots of great backed goods and more to chose from. The meat's are very good and fresh.

I've been to many Mexican markets in my life and this has been the cleanest, well decorated, and organized Mexican market I've ever been to.

The food bar is amazing and the workers are friendly! I got calabacitas con queso, rice, and beans. They gave me free tortillas to go with my meal :). Will be returning for sure. read more

First time I come to this location. I am a Cardenas fan and I'm willing to give it another shot but thIs was my experience thIs time... so I walk into store love the look everything nicely organized and very clean. Went iver my grocery list with no problem but wen I got to register everything went south. Cashier was not friendly (at all) her name is jAzmin by the way register 2. She was confronted by another customer while I was in line about getting oVer charged then wen my turn came up she began throwing my groceries out of the basket on the counter and gave me reCiept no thank you no hola no nothing. I believe in custoMer service and today I'm sorry to say Cardenas you were short of it. I'm sure I'm not the first customer you will be getting complaints about this cashier I hope she is just one bad apple. read more
