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.
The Real Adore Amore
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!

This restaurant offers a small and simple menu, but the quality is outstanding. I particularly enjoy their Pescado de Frito and fish tacos. My only suggestion would be to expand the menu with more options for pescatarians and vegetarians. Despite that, I will definitely return for their excellent fish.

This spot is definitely a gem for north Oakland. Not your traditional Spanish food but a must try. I had the plantains, fries, fish tacos, steak tacos and Cubano sandwich. All were delicious.
