| - To know me is to understand that I love to get the most I can for my money. I mean I work hard for it, why spend it casually with no qualms? I just can't fathom paying high prices for something, anything if I know I can score a much better deal on it somewhere else.
With that being said, I love Cardenas for a few different reasons.
Produce and fruit are often some of the cheapest prices you can find in the valley and good, fresh quality. When I can get a cart full of vegetables and fruit for under $10 and know that I don't have to hurry and use them because they were super fresh when purchased makes me a very happy person.
However, let me tell you what is hazardous to your health. If you are there when they bring out fresh bread be prepared because you will take some home with you. It is just this heavenly smell of fresh rolls that entices and pulls you in. And when their rolls are priced at 3 for $1, it is a very hard to pass that up.
But I guess the same could be said when you walk pass their tortilla factory. I often get yelled at because those tortillas are so fresh, you can see the steam in the bag and they are warm to the touch that I have been known to buy them even if I have tortillas at home. The best part is that they have all kinds and sizes.
I haven't purchased much meat from here but I don't really purchase much meat from any store. (I love working at a meat company ;) )
But I have scored some of the most meatiest pork neck bones I have ever seen at any store I have seen in my entire life. We have on one occasion purchased their preseasoned meat from the butcher counter but due to my job I often too scared to do this and let me tell you, I was quite impressed with the freshness of the meat and the flavor.
What I do love is their cheese and salsa bar. Fresh, Fresh, Fresh and super Fresh salsas and cheeses. They have this queso fresco that I cannot get enough of in their deli. And I love that I can purchase small enough of amounts of the different varieties of sour cream so that I only have what I need.
Now, let's talk about the cafeteria area. Best chicharron in the city. It is always fresh and crispy and mouth pleasing. The aromas that come from all their other goodies such as carne asada, fried pork belly, and much more always leave me wanting to just dive mouth first in the those trays.
Their guacamole is loved by my man. If he is on a guacamole quick, we can easily make a few trips to the store in a week just for this and their fresh chips.
I don't shop much for other necessities or basic necessities here because I can find them elsewhere cheaper but for what I do come here for, I love.
I love this store so much, I don't even mind the loud blare of the music that I am not accustomed to. After the first few minutes I can tune it out pretty easily.
The cashiers speak english too, so don't let them fool you. Or don't be scared because it is prominently hispanic population. They are pretty friendly to all their customers.
