Cholita Linda

Honestly, I’m not sure it lives up to the hype as much as I’d hoped. While the vibe and decor are as bright and inviting as the welcoming staff, the quieted Cuban flavors left me wanting a bit more. I had the fried pollo cholita plate, but the chicken thigh was overcooked and unfortunately tough and stringy. The beans and rice were excellent though, and I loved the plantains. It’s possible I just got a bad one-off with the chicken, but it still was a miss. The cubano sandwich was much better, though after recently visiting Miami, I couldn’t help but think it could’ve stuck a better landing. I know I’ve been here before and enjoyed the tacos, so maybe next time I’ll focus on the more Mexican-forward portions of the menu. Still, Cholita Linda brings a lot of bright energy on Telegraph whi

I have always ordered and eaten at Cholita Linda's for a few years now. Unfortunately, a few nights ago I was greeted with a cricket that was ALIVE! It was still moving , it literally jumped out. I called the restaurant and spoke to Abel, he informed me they do not wash their salad they just take it out of a bag and box it, that's even more alarming and unsanitary. I am still awaiting a follow-up from Cholita Linda themselves. I do not think i will be eating here ever again as I am too shook to do so as well as traumatized. So check your food thoroughly if you eat here!!!

My fav spot in Oakland. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Fish tacos and tofu sandwich are the best!

Food was incredible. Got the fish tacos, carne asada tacos, cubano sandwich, and churros. Everything was perfect: taste, freshness, balanced. Atmosphere was great on a sunny Sunday on their back patio. Service was super fast

It’s fine food. Very expansive for tacos but they aren’t bad and usually pretty big and well stacked. Just lost points for me because of the price and also the plates aren’t very good. They’re kinda small and pretty bland. The back patio is nice and cocktails are good. My partner really likes their sandwich but I haven’t had them Good place for a taco and drink.
