“They have a great selection. My review is about the service. They do take ebt/snap. Please make sure you tell them that. If you have cash aid they will not ask you and just press cash instead of food when buying from the meat market or grocery. SAY SNAP, they or they will automatically Charge your Cash benefits. I SHOULDNT HAVE TO SAY.”

It was cheap too, ive never shopped at a store like it. I recommend for interesting non western spices.”

“I recently visited the Healthy Families Market store in my area and had a very positive experience. From the moment I walked in, the space felt clean, organized, and welcoming. The aisles were clearly labeled, and it was easy to find WIC-approved items without feeling overwhelmed or confused. The staff were the best part of my visit. They were patient, respectful, and never made me feel rushed or embarrassed about using WIC benefits. One employee even took the time to walk me through which brands and sizes were covered, and helped me compare options so I could get the most value for my benefits. The store offers a good variety of items that fit within the WIC program—milk, eggs, cereal, baby formula, fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. I especially appreciated that they carried different brands and sizes, so I wasn’t stuck with just one option. The produce looked fresh, and the shelves were well-stocked. Checking out was straightforward. The cashier seemed very familiar with the WIC system, which made the transaction smooth and stress-free. There were no awkward moments or confusion about what was or wasn’t covered. Overall, this WIC store really understands the needs of families. They make it easier to use WIC benefits in a respectful, dignified way. I would definitely recommend this store to other WIC participants who are looking for a supportive place to shop for their family’s essentials.”
“It honestly is like a little market and neighborhood convenient store. Good selection of drinks, liquor and more. Generally quick in and out even when slightly busy. Cons - parking and pricing on a few things.”
“Everyone I encountered was pleasing helpful. When shopping a electronic cart. They not only took everything out my basket, but bagged it all and put it my basket.”
“Great tacos get them on Tuesdayj discounted 😋 all their meats are flavorful so you can't go wrong with picking a meat but my favorite is carne asada. The shells are always soft. I also love the caldos here. Good food”
“I go there for the Meat/Seafood Department. The day I went, I needed Ix Tails. I went to Safeway, Winco, Food 4Less. Nobody had them. I tried Cardenas..and BAM!!! They had just what I needed - and a big assortment. This was in February 2026. My first time going. Now? I go to Cardenas for my Meats. Staff was quiet, but polite and helpful. This is a very big store. Check them out next time you need meats for the grill or just for a good dinner. They always have a good selection. I like this place.”
“We went earlybwhen it first opened to get a tripod. The customer rep at the counter was already very busy with 3-4 people in line and of course, everything is locked up. But he was so pleasant and very helpful. He did a great job! Wish I had gotten his name.”
