“Oakwood Market has been a staple in East Palo Alto. The owners are very customer friendly and know their customers and community. They have variety of produce and proteins. The chorizo, breakfast sausage, party wings are a must get. Again they have a variety of things so go ahead and give them a try. Weather you're in Palo Alto , it's literally right over the bridge. They have a huge parking lot out side so you don't have to worry about that. Thanks again to the Oakwood family for taking care of the community and people. Much love.”
“Very courteous staff, multiple item selections at an affordable cost to balance affordability to purchase in any low end, poverty type community or less valuable living properties”
“Lowest prices if not just flat out fair. Don and Marylyn are two Long term residents of East Palo Alto who have built this little corner store into community landmark.A landmark of fairness, fortitude, faith and family which has kept them and our community in East Palo Alto together. Thank you Don and Marlyn for the Coldest Beer in EPA. Have fun now.”
“Great options in East Palo Alto. They are usually busy because they have the money orders station. The only thing I don't buy here is the meat. I usually get it elsewhere so I wouldn't be able to know if it's good or not.”
“Local, family owned and always friendly. Their products vary from week to week because they are truly small and cater to their public. Still the best Pimientos de Padron in town!”
“Usually very busy when we cash checks. I used to go here daily if not weekly for the drinks they had of mango it was so delicious, I forgot the name but I miss them. The store is small and cute”
“If you’re delivering here in a semi truck. There is not direct truck route. Just follow your gps. They’re right by the police department. If you get stopped, tell them you’re picking up or delivering there. They’re cool with it. Nice and friendly people working there but check your weight before you roll across the California scales.”
“I love this place. This place is a pinnacle of our community and our Polynesian community. The products are available for your convenience and the quality is good. The family has been a part of this community for years and the service is great. The place is a little dark and dim but it works. Shop here for all of your South Pacific and Asian food needs.”
“I had an exceptional experience at Cardenas, thanks to Beverly’s outstanding customer service! She was incredibly friendly, patient, and genuinely committed to helping me. When I had trouble finding a few items, Beverly took the time to walk around the store with me, locate everything I needed, and ensure I was completely taken care of. She even checked in before I left to make sure I was all set. Her kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond made my shopping trip easy and stress-free. Beverly is a fantastic asset to Cardenas. I highly recommend the East Palo Alto Cardenas, especially for its exceptional service and caring team!”
“I enjoyed shopping here because they offer a good variety of products, especially food items. The prices are very reasonable and seem well suited for the area. The food and produce were fresh and within date, and the store was clean and well maintained. It’s clear they make an effort to follow health and safety guidelines as well. Overall, it was a positive experience and I appreciate the consistency and value this store provides.”
