    Tamale making time, best place for miles..... for prepared masa!
    Regina A.

    Giving this place all the stars. It is what it is a little Mexican market. They have all the good Mexican specialty items. The service is fast and friendly. I went in recently to buy my masa for Christmas tamale making. My mother in law has been buying her masa here for decades I just follow her lead. Her tamales are loved throughout the land, the local land that is.The price per pound of masa seems fair here. The service I experienced on my last trip in was excellent. One of the clerks assisted me, she was so friendly and willing. She really helped me in figuring out a few things I was unsure of with portions and such. A huge thanks to her. I really appreciate such great service. The place is well keep. I can see that some might have a language problem here. I am lucky enough to understand a good amount of Spanish and I do speak some, so I can get by here. Also, the young women helping me spoke fluent English, so that was a huge place on my last trip in. Any questions/need help?, you might consider asking for someone who speaks english. Word to any mexican ingredients/cooking/good food adventurers out there, have a translator app on the ready & you will do just fine. Oh before closing, just fyi I bought a container of chopped green chile/salsa there recently, it was in an end cap cooler. Oh my, get some! Just remember... some like it hot!

    Chicken tamale
    Alina G.

    One tamale had undercooked masa, two had crumbly masa and one the masa was brown. I come from LA county and I know what good quality tamales and this ain't it. Masa texture was off, taste was meh and two tamales had barely any chicken in them. Never ordering from here again.

    Torta de al pastor, no sabor. Que asco. La otra mitad no se pudo comer derechito a la basura.

    Horrible, Horrible Mexican Food. I rather eat Taco Bell than ever order food from here. We ordered 2 burritos and one torta. The torta was dripping grease and meat had no flavor at all, beyond bland. The asada burrito was extremely salty. I felt like I took a glass of ocean water. My blood pressure probably went above a heart attack. We ordered burrito de trips and they were beyond cooked and very very bitter, THEY WERE SO OVER COOKED. THEY WOULD CRUMBLE ON YOUR FINGERS. Food was disgusting non edible. I keep calling and no answer. GROSS AND AN EMBARRASSING TO THE Mexican cuisine. Instead I recommend 2 Potrillos on Perris. The worst food in all state of California, better yet all US.

    It's a rainy day. I'm on my way to urgent care and the roads have been difficult. Maybe I could…read morehave found a closer urgent care, but I do like the Kaiser facility in Moreno Valley and it puts me close to this Middle Eastern market. I've got to see the doctor because my eye makes me look like a gargoyle and the itching makes me feel like a cranky gargoyle. My appointment is in a couple hours so I head over to Day Street Market. I've got my basket filled with Persian cookies, Lebanese yogurt, saffron, couscous, ghee, spices and pita bread. I'd love to buy some lamb and beef but I'm avoiding buying them until I trust the government. The man at the counter speaks with me about my fears and assures me his halal meet is 100% beef and lamb. I believe him, but I'll wait just a little longer and then I'll be back. Now, off to urgent care and off with my sunglasses. I could barely see anything in the market with my sunglasses on and they probably thought I was pretending to be someone famous. I'll be back for the meat when I don't look like a famous gargoyle.

Each time I visit I always find something else! From pickled veggies to prayer mats to boycott friendly sodas---and the infamous Dubai chocolate! I also found one of my red kuffiyehs here too, patiently waiting for a restock. The ambiance can be quiet, however it's nice to not feel so overstimulated the way I do in other grocery stores. jazakAllah kahir:- )

    I was originally going to give them four stars, but the butcher counter knocked it down to three…read morestars for me. I was born and raised in LA so my go to has always been Vallarta. Now that I live in MoVal, Cardenas is the closest grocery store like it so I shop here now. I should preface with saying I only come here for the produce section on most days. On occasion I buy meat and tortillas. Parking is plentiful. You'll always find a cart available. I spend the bulk of my time in the produce section. I've found that their produce lasts me much longer than other grocery stores in the area. Like any grocery store, not every single item is going to be as fresh as the day it was picked. But generally they have great quality and amazing pricing. I have had the pan dulce. I just think it's a tad overpriced at 4 for $5 for my liking. I'd rather support my local panaderia at that point. I love going to the tortilleria for fresh flour tortillas for burritos. They're a tad pricey at $4.99 a bag so I only buy it on occasion. It's certainly more convenient than making it at home. The self-check out is pretty convenient if you don't have a cart full of groceries. I did have trouble one time and the attendant was able to help me once I asked for assistance. Personally, I'm neurodivergent and get overstimulated quickly so I appreciate the lack of customer service others mentioned In all seriousness, I haven't experienced anyone being rude. But they're also not going out of their way to greet you or check in to see if you need assistance. It would be great if they had more than one lane with an attendant open. I've seen it get backed up several times. It could be solved easily by opening up a second lane. I appreciate that they have security working at night. I rarely get my shopping done during the day so I couldn't even tell you if security is working then, but I feel safer walking to my car at night knowing someone is watching the area. I have generally enjoyed going to the butcher here for a couple meats on occasion. I love the bistec ranchero for carne asada, but the price is a bit steep in this economy at $13.99/lb. Today, I went to restock as we were out of protein in my home. I got four different cuts of meat, two beef and two chicken. Two things occurred that really bothered me. (1) The butcher failed to change gloves between handling different types of raw food, like different species of meat (beef and chicken), which I suspect may be a health code violation. (2) The butcher used the same contaminated gloves when creating the labels and handling each bag of meat. All of my bags were contaminated :-( Unfortunately, I was in a hurry to get home as my husband needed the car to go to work so I didn't have an opportunity to say something or talk to someone. So I knocked down a star for the cross contamination.

    I really enjoyed shopping at Cardenas, everyone was so helpful. The vegetables and fruit looked so…read morefresh, I ended up buying so much. The cashier was attentive and welcoming. The happy music playing in the background had us in a very good mood as well. I'm definitely coming back.
