Cardenas Markets Cocina - Oakland

What an incredible deal. My daughter and I made 3 tacos for each of us. And we barely made a dent on the amount of food. Theres probably enough to make a dozen more. Food was perfectly as I expected. Saw some reviews that throw hate for the sides. The sides are very basic. They are not the best that ive had, nor are they the worst. They are refried beans and rice. Thats pretty basic dunno about you, my expectations are not high from a grocery store deli. Wish people would give appropriate reviews for where the food is coming from. Dont review it as if this place is trying to be a 5 star restaurant. For a grocery store deli department, this place gets 5 stars from me. Good job Cardenas. Thank you for feeding us at an affordable price.

Really bad service the burrito was so small this is not what i ask for and theirs items missing

Very generous roast chicken meal. I was very surprised at how much food I got.

Good amount of quantity. Chicken is very good but sides are terrible. Beans were puréed pinto with a dash of salt, soup-like and flavorless, rice had Lima beans and string beans w hardly and flavor. Salsa was like water with some tomatoes. Far cry from real Mexican food

The tamales were dry and tasted old and the Tres Leches Cake tasted store bought.
