Cárdenas was born in the colonial city of Granada on the shores of Lake Cocibolca in Nicaragua.

He returned to Nicaragua in 1862.

He was married to Gertrudis Martínez Solórzano, daughter of Tomás Martínez Guerrero, 36th President of Nicaragua, and wife Gertrudis Solórzano Zavala. His grandson, René Cárdenas, became the first Spanish-language announcer to cover Major League Baseball.
