About Taqueria Cardenas
Taqueria Cardenas is a taqueria, so expect a short, meat-forward menu, corn tortillas, and salsas made in house rather than a broad sit-down Mexican menu. It sits in Modesto (95354), CA, independently run.
There is no star rating on file for Taqueria Cardenas yet, so it is ranked here on how taco-focused it is (a taqueria scores above a general restaurant) and how complete its public listing is, not on reviews.
If a trompo is turning, order al pastor. Otherwise asada or carnitas is the safe read. Ask for everything con todo and work the salsa bar.
It is on J Street in Modesto. Use the Directions button for turn-by-turn.
Call ahead or check the map listing before a special trip. Small taquerias change hours often, and our data refreshes on a schedule, not live.
In our Modesto taco guide, Taqueria Cardenas is ranked #1 of 79, by taco specialisation and listing completeness. How we rank.
