| - My friends and I decided to have a Mexican night. My Mexican friends suggested that we go to Cardenas. Might as well go big and authentic or go home, right?
I lived in Vegas all my life but wasn't familiar with the area. Not going to lie, I was shakin' in my boots. I walked in and no joke, Cardenas took my breath away. First thing I noticed was that this place was so much cleaner than your typical Albertson's or Vons. Cardenas was definitely happening, so many people shopping around!
Bakery: HOLY FREAKIN' COW. If I died and went to Bakery heaven this is where I'd end up. They had a variety of cookies and cakes. They sell large pans of tres leches (regular and mocha) as well as flan (regular and chocolate). These pans are humongous, even for the six of us. They sell these goodies by the slice as well. Fortunately for us, these slices are huge. From the sea of cookies, the one that stood out to me the most was their chocolate chip. It looks like a full chocolate chip bag exploded onto one cookie. It was intense. It was good.
Produce: WOWZA. Not only are all of the produce neatly and impeccably stacked, they're so fresh! The one thing we were on the hunt for were avocados. The large Haas avocados were $1.25 a piece, a little pricey. On top of that, these avocados weren't ripe yet. This was a problem because fresh guacamole was on our menu that night. But we turned the corner and found a huge tub of small ripe Haas avocados - 4 for $1! We bought 10 in all and had the best guacamole that night. I also like how they have a large variety of chiles, both fresh and dried. Mangoes were all nice and ripe, large in size. I thought most items in this section was relatively cheap in comparison to our neighborhood grocery stores.
Meat: WHOA DUDE. Lots of meat. They have a variety of cuts. They even sell some meat pre-marinated! We bought the pre-marinated chicken and was not disappointed. We also bought a good amount of beef for our carne asada. Happy here, too. One thing that kind of turned me off was that some of their meat was browning. It wasn't looking too fresh or was red in color. But we avoided those and went for the freshest of the fresh.
Dairy: GIMME SOME MORE. So, they have this station set up straight across the meat section. It's like a sour cream bar! Different types of sour cream were available. I mean, I didn't know you can have more than one type of sour cream! You taste the sour cream before you buy, too. I could have spent my entire day here, licking away at my spoonfuls of sour cream.
We spent a total of 2 hours at Cardenas. I'm pretty certain i didn't get to experience everything they offer. But that's okay because I'll have to make another trip there!
