This place is clean. On the rare occasion I do go, it's been fine as long as I avoid weekends. However, they have no baggers. I don't work there. I'm not bagging my groceries. Hire baggers. Give jobs to more people instead or multiple jobs to cashiers who understand their sole job is to be at the register and not bag groceries. I don't want to bag my own groceries. Do better, Cardenas. read more

I went to buy a birthday cake for my dads 75th birthday, boy was I beyond embarrassed, definitely my fault for not checking the cake before I left he store but I always get my cakes from here and love them but this one time , I was disappointed. The cake was delicious but the writing was a horrible , maybe the lady didn't know how to spell but she could have easily asked me to write it on paper . Some did laugh at it and thought I did it on purpose . But this was a party and I just was mortified. read more

Cardenas Markets - It is supposed to say Happy Birthday Daddy. NOT Happy Bday DA--D - Meat Shops Near Me - Corona, California

Very clean and organized grocery store. You can find bakery foods, hot deli, and various flavors of agua frescas. I tried their bakery items and the fresh bread was good but their cookies and cupcakes weren't as moist and it was very dense and too sugary. Their frescas are delicious especially the watermelon flavor and it was a good price for a medium $4.5. What a deal! Their hot deli items are good. They have fresh carnitas, pork rinds, grilled chicken and tortillas. They make their tortillas and chips and guacamole fresh here. Overall a good experience. Plenty of parking in the front and close to 91 freeway entrance. read more

Muy alto el precio y el servicio es pésimo.! Las personas que trabajan ahí no tienen ningún sentido común y si les preguntas algo es muy difícil conseguir una respuesta clara. El precio no es competitivo con las otras cadenas de supermercados read more

No service. Waited for 10 minutes standing around to place an order while employees were walking back and forth and not acknowledging customers. read more

I'm extremely frustrated with the lack of customer service at Cardenas Markets. Every time I call the store, no one answers. On the rare occasion someone does pick up, I get transferred to the meat department and then the call goes unanswered again. All I needed was a simple price, and it shouldn't be this difficult to get basic information. There seems to be no accountability or follow-through when customers call. It's very disappointing because good communication is such a basic part of customer service. I hope management takes this seriously and works on improving phone responsiveness and internal communication. read more

It's unfortunate that's being one of the few Mexican store in this area it lacks ALWAYS of employees!!! It's frustrating every single time! They can never keep anyone working because they don't pay well and don't respect people's availability. I can't wait for Northgate to open and to have another store here in Corona. read more

I love Cardenas because it has been around for at least 20 years. I always am able to find all the ingredients that I need to make a Mexican food feast. I love their vegetables and fruits because they are always fresh. The sweet bread is also very tasty. I definitely recommend this supermarket. read more

Ordered a birthday cake for my sister and asked the bakery attendant if she was able to write happy birthday. She said of course and proceeds to write on the cake and tape the box closed. To my horror I opened the box when I got home to find this. Had to scrape it off the best I could because I would have been mortified to present this to someone. I would have respected her saying she didn't feel comfortable writing on the cake and I would've happily bought birthday candles and called it a day ‍ hopefully it tastes better than it looks. read more

Cardenas Markets - Horrible tamales and this is my second time trying them. Both times disappointed and the service is horrible too - Meat Shops Near Me - Corona, California

The pineapple and strawberry tamales need to be sweeter and thinner for a better taste. There is no reason for them to be thick and for Cardenas to charge the same as the meat, pork and chicken tamales since they don't have any filling in the middle. read more

There's one lady who works at the food court. Older lady wears a lot of makeup. She's always so rude to me and my children. She yelled at my son one time. He wasnt in line to order food he just wanted a drink. She kept ignoring him until I said something. And she said he need to be standing by the order here sign when he wasn't getting any food. Whenever my husband goes in without us. She's always nice and friendly to him and always gives him free food. read more

Worst experience ever lady in the bakery named Cristina very rude and lazy . She saw me waiting to get helped in the counter and proceeded to continue to put bread in the display, I thought she was busy, so I waited a little longer. She made eye contact with me and still didn't help after 15 minutes waiting and she kept putting bread in the display and until I saw her taking out the trash and I went up to the cashier and asked I needed help in the bakery area and until then the lady Cristina helped me with a very rude tone she talked to me she even made a big dent on the cake worst customer service read more

I'm very disappointed with the service from Cardenas in the past month. First experience was when I was charged a different price for the raspado compared to what is listed on their menu. Prices on the menu should reflect what you will be charged. Second experience was when I asked for a pound of rice. The staff member wasn't sure what container to use, and didn't even bother to weigh the container. I paid and handed the 1 pound of rice that felt like it was a lot less. I asked the staff member to weigh it and she did, to her shock it was not a pound. She didn't want to add more rice to make it a pound. Only after she weighed it the container on 2 different scales about 4 times did she offer to add more if I wanted to. By that time I had already paid for the supposed pound of rice. These are not good practices for a chain of grocery markets, and it makes me hesitant to continue shopping there. read more

I shop here for their meat, produce and bakery items. However, the main thing I come here for are the freshly made tortillas. The yellow ones are my absolute favorite. I sadly came by this Sunday and they didn't have them. I guess the machine broke. They also didn't have the muffins with the red wrapper. If you know, YOU KNOW. It was upsetting but I'll be back. That won't stop me from returning. I see a lot of negative reviews about the service and cleanliness, but I've never had a problem. I've been to plenty of Hispanic stores and Cardenas is the only I'll keep turning to along as it's open. read more

I went to order carnitas from La Cocina and waited over ten minutes when I was next in line. I could see they were putting together some big orders and it was Sunday so I was being patient. But then the man behind the counter started speaking in Spanish to the lady after me in line and she came up to the counter to get serviced! I had to interrupt them to let him know I was next. I got my carnitas (which were delicious) and he helped me get the salsa that my friend wanted from their refrigerator case (because there was none on the floor) but I was disappointed with the wait and the fact that he missed that I had been waiting there for all that time. read more

Cardenas Markets - Menu for take out - Meat Shops Near Me - Corona, California

I came in on 1/7/23 to place a cake order for 1/21/23. The older woman with the glasses said I could do order it two days before. I had three recent passings of family members and one still in the hospital. I told her I had a family emergency because she asked why I cancelled. She asked if I wanted to postpone and if so what date. I told her I'm not sure. Then she said well what do you want ? Your money back? She called her supervisor. That woman and her supervisor (an older woman with the short blonde hair) were extremely rude. As they were processing my return, they said, "well I wouldn't give any money back." "Cancellations never happen. " They were extremely hostile. I hope they never have to go through what my family is going through. Please have better customer service to your customers and be kind. I was planning on returning in the future but now I will not. read more

Lemons, so big Limes very fresh, Nice cashier Phillip helped me bag everything great shopping, will come back again

Its a nicely organized store. Clean with lots of selections. However this review is specifically regarding the butchers chorizo. I've purchased it twice now and its the worst chorizo I've ever tasted. Both times. Terrible flavor and even worse after taste. Hottingers in Chino makes a pretty good chorizo and the best I've had in California can be found in Lockeford, Ca at Lockeford meats...( where you can meet the butchers version of Seinfields soup Nazi if you question the quality of their products. ) Lockford is too far to drive just to purchase 1-1/2 lb of meat. So I thought I would give Cardenas chorizo a second try since it was on the way home from church. I will never go there for chorizo again. Go elsewhere for chorizo, otherwise its a nice store with competitive pricing. read more

I can't believe all the one star ratings this store gets, and how many people don't bother to give a review after receiving substandard service. This store really needs to get it together. I'm taking my business elsewhere, Adios! To this store read more

Antonio was very nice. I appreciated him being quick to acknowledge me and help me get my food. He was patient yet quick. Great energy! Good people like this make me want to come back. read more

I drove out of my way into the hood to supposedly save money and what a waste it was! Literally EVERYTHING is about a dollar more expensive here than my local Smart & Final in the city of Eastvale. I was shocked!! Even the "sale" items are way more expensive than normal prices at other stores. They even had dollar tree shampoo at almost 4 dollars. Crazy! It actually made me really sad that a Latino market would rip off its own people in this way. Never going back! read more

I went last night to shop for some groceries and I saw something that I believe shouldn't be done. They put back meat and cheeses found around the store, and or from they're go backs which is stuff that should of been refrigerated at all time but wasn't for a while I'm sure. I know all of that stuff should have been thrown out and not put back for people to buy. read more

The staff running this store's phones and customer service does a poor job! They never answer the phone, and if they do, they seem like they dont know how to transfer a call. I requested to be sent to the kitchen so i can preorder food only to be hung up on instead of transferred. After several attempts to call back, they pickup and immediately hang up so they dont have to hear the phone or probably so they dont have to deal with customers that are calling in. Huge disappointment. Makes ordering from the kitchen ahead of time impossible! This has happened on many different occasions, so this is NOT a one time incidient! Hope management can see and correct! read more

Unable to reach anyone that spoke English- I was transferred numerous times and wasn't able to get anything resolved.

We came from old town placentia, born and raised on real Mexican food. Trying local places for tamales and the ones at Cardenas were the worst I've EVER eaten. Pork was a paper thin layer no flavor except extreme saltiness and the masa looked and tasted like an overcooked biscuit , did not taste like masa and SALTY!! The other tamales I thought was cheese and jalapeños. I think it was some bean like substance with a little strip of jalapeño . Again no flavor , no cheese and SALTY. Picked up a tub of guacamole another mistake. It was overpowered with some type of tart juice, not lemon or lime like normal people do. I am never going back!! RUN!! read more

I have developed a dangerous love affair with their bakery since my brother clued me in on their caramel flan/tres leches cake. They also have the best Mexican "deli"/food court around. The carnitas, carne asada, grilled whole and half chickens, and other meats are chopped in plain view for public ogling near the conveyor belt of freshly made tortillas. It is a great place for the "experience" with the ranchero music blasting from within, fresh beverages served from giant jugs, an electronics counter with flashy lights and tacky pink zebra print cell phone cases, and the fiery manager who is always muttering wildly over the intercom in Spanish, yelling for some poor associate to come to the kitchen NOW. He speaks too quickly for me to catch everything but I can understand the "A LA COCINA, AHORA MISMO!" part repeated all too clearly. From what it sounds like, it seems as though he is firing an employee at least twice a day. read more

Terrible and nonexisting service here. Nobody cares and nobody wants to help. Not worth whatever you are coming here for. Location is awful and you can never get parking here.
