The menu at Cardenas Markets in Calexico offers a vibrant selection of traditional Mexican and American-inspired dishes that cater to a variety of tastes. The star of the menu is their Carne Asada – perfectly grilled, tender beef, full of flavor and served with warm tortillas. For those craving something lighter, the Ceviche is a refreshing choice, featuring fresh fish marinated in tangy lime juice with diced tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
If you're in the mood for something hearty, the Chile Relleno provides a delicious option with roasted poblano peppers stuffed with cheese and smothered in a rich tomato sauce. For a truly comforting experience, the Beef Burritos are generously packed with seasoned beef, beans, and rice, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla, offering a satisfying meal. The Taco Plate is another standout, where you can choose from a variety of fillings like Al Pastor, Carnitas, or Pollo Asado, all served with traditional sides like rice, beans, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Their Enchiladas, smothered in either red or green sauce, are a must-try for fans of bold, saucy flavors. For something a little different, the Torta is a Mexican sandwich filled with your choice of meats, like Chorizo or Steak, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado, creating a perfect balance of textures and flavors.
The drink selection is equally impressive, with options like Horchata and Jamaica providing a sweet, refreshing counterpoint to the rich and savory meals. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a satisfying sit-down meal, Cardenas Markets delivers an authentic taste of Mexican comfort food in every dish.
