| - I LOVE CARDENAS. Love it. Let me count the ways...there are many I assure you.
First off, the salsa. OH the salsa! They have a lovely lady who hands out little tacos with usually either carnitas or pollo (available hot from the counter, of which I get some every time I go for dinner that evening) so you can sample any salsa with their homemade chips. Their salsa is the best I have ever had. I stock up every time I go with at least four large containers. For two people...yes we love salsa.
Secondly...home made tortillas. Now, I thought I loved corn tortillas. That was until I had freshly made, hot delicious, heavenly freshly made corn tortillas that make me want someone to slap me back to reality. Oh I am for real. You have not had a corn tortilla until you have had one of these.
Thirdly, they have a meat counter with a fabulous selection, along with a generously sized meat area with prepacked meat. SAME prices as the meat counter. Love that. The butchers are always helpful with finding the best meat for the job. For example, pork for posole. yum.
Fourthly..they have a queso counter. Oh delicious queso fresco and about six different kinds of crema. Pickled pork rinds and other wonders I haven't tried. Home made tamales? Joy AND rapture.
Fifthly, they have a drink counter californ-i-a style with strawberry guava juice, horchata...well, once you say horchata I am already there with my mouth open. Right next to that is a counter with GINORMOUS sheets of pork rinds, juicy carnitas, soups, etc for you to take home hot and ready. I was told they have a special for like fifteen bucks you get a whole chicken, salsa, chips, sides and a soda? Dont quote me but ti was something along those lines. There is also a whole Taqueria here so you can sit down for lunch as well while you are waiting for someone to shop...or like me, just grab a giant horchata and wander.
SIXLY...they have the BEST produce. Ever. I am ADDICTED tot heir seeded watermelon. Not since I was a child have I tasted watermelon this sweet, delicious and just bursts with flavor oh my my. I ate a whole (smaller...it was like, pumpkin sized. DONT JUDGE ME) one one day. A larger one over the course of two days. I ate so much watermelon I had a watermelon bloat and hangover from being so full. And I am not usually a watermelon person. And the limes? Cilantro? Tomatillos? I can get my produce for the month for less than twenty bucks. No for reals. It is so cheap I have considered going vegetarian and living on the cheap.
and on and on. There are mexican pastries...oh the flan is orgasmic and those little sugar things that are flaky and look like hearts...Oh. Oh you come here right now.
They say Shakira makes Danzig wanna speak spanish, well Cardenas does that for me. I LOVE YOU!!!
