| - Want some authentic Mexican food? Cardenas Market is your place. This store is not just a Mexican grocery store, but also a restaurant. The place feels very upbeat and happy... like a market that isn't actually in Vegas.
I always get the spicy pork burritos here. I love them! They don't serve you gobs of cheap hot sauce because the burritos don't need it! The burritos are filled with rice, beans, finely chopped onions, cheese, and of course spicy pulled pork that has so much flavor that no extras are needed. The beans and rice are fresh, not dry or burnt. Now this is how a burrito is supposed to taste! These things are huge too, and heavy. Under $6!
I also tried a Sandia, which is a squeezed or blended watermelon drink. It was so fresh that I had little yellow seeds in mine. As I sucked on the straw, I got little chunks of watermelon. The watermelons must have been very good, because this drink sure was! A little pricy for a small, $2.49, but considering it is freshly squeezed watermelon, it isn't a bad price. Mine didn't last the drive home (which is 3 minutes) because I couldn't stop guzzling it!
I am so glad that I live near this place. It has a great atmosphere, the people that work there are friendly and welcoming of everyone that shops there. Even a blond haired, ghostly pale guy like myself got plenty of offers for free samples! This is definitely going to be a regular spot for cheap lunches or dinners to go. No more corporate "Mexican" restaurants for me; this place beats them all.
