The staff were kind and fast with our order, food came out looking and tasting delicious. Usually dont like sitting in places that dont have other people, but the vibe was comfortable so dining in was good! Only complaint is there was a speaker or machine playing a frequency pitch that was slightly annoying. Otherwise amazing! Keep it up 🙂

I work downtown and it gets hectic traffic wise around lunchtime. I was able to call in my order and was told it would be ready in 15 mins which was perfect from the time I clocked out and drove there to get it it was ready will be going back again soon! Thank you all for your service

This place has some seriously good food. I ordered the taco plate; one taco with chicken and one taco with carnitas. The carnitas was perfect. Nice and crispy; probably from tje flat top. Not a bunch of fat. Chicken was nice and heavily seasoned; an enjoyable taco experience. Rice and beans were good too.

I ordered the super nacho, Carne Asada. Absolutely no taste, super blan, hardly any cheese and no salsa, Not even a Pico de Gallo to go, rough sell. Too blan for this Latin foodie.

This family run restaurant is popular with the locals. By chance, I just happened upon it on my drive from Sacramento to LA. They were really friendly and helped me in selecting a dish. I ordered the two enchiladas plate. I chose one chicken and one beef. The dish came with chips, beans, and rice. I also had access to a salsa bar. All the food was very good and tasty. I’d definitely eat here again.

Everything is nice for getting some Mexican food, my wife got a bowl and I got a burrito. The nicest way to put the food is like someone spilled the ingredients from a can onto a tortilla and a bowl. It looked good and the burrito was loaded but the flavor was ok. Try a different menu option if you come here

From the moment my husband and I arrived we were warmly greeted, ordered, and seated. Cozy dinning room, with a fantastic salsa bar, where we began to chit-chat and snack on free chips. BUT WHEN THE FOOD ARRIVED (really fast as well) there was NOTHING but silence. This food is NEXT LVL GOOD! Eyes rolling back in your head, mmmmmm mmmmmm, smacking lips, and licking the plate GOOOOOOD! Taqueria Cardenas is in my opinion the BEST IN TOWN!

Tried the nachos here today, they didn’t disappoint. They have a small out door seating area, which was nice. Friendly service with fresh flavorful food.
