I love their fish plate! That's usually the only thing I get when I go there. The other meats are okay, I didn't like the steak bc of the way they season the meat. But the rest of the food is delicious! The drinks (non alcoholic) are good but personally I don't like lots of sugar in my drinks and I know they put lots of sugar. It's a preference, I like natural fruit drinks. But they taste good. The prices are affordable for what they give you esp considering this economy! Totally worth it.

Back in the day, we used to frequent their other store in Oakland. Cut and pasted from their website: Cholita. In Peru, it 's a term of endearment that means a girl of native or mixed heritage and Linda means pretty or sweet. Quality/Quantity Plantains Good, fried well, moist and tender on the inside. Two Pollo Al pastor Generous quantity, good flavors. Baja Fish Taco Carne Asada Taco Also good flavors and good quantity. Actually, the chicken, fish, and beef all had the exact same flavor... The biggest difference was the breading on the fish. Yuca Fries Fresh out of the fryer, so be careful it is temperature HOT. Atmosphere Fast casual. Counter service. Self service water, self bussing tables. No one cleaned during our lunch meal. All the local high school kids also started coming in. Semi open kitchen, you can peek in the doorway, see picture, LOL. Service Counter service, almost full service. Price $27 generous tip for counter service. Owner Suggestion Congrats on your success with your 3 locations.

Quite similar experience as the original Oakland Cholita Linda, loved it. We had the steak sandwich and Fish plate with rice beans. Both were delicious and ample in quantity.Don’t forget the Mango Agua Fresca is a MUST try!

I give this place 2 stars for foodI ordered Chicharron de pollo, quesadilla, and fries to go.Food: Chicharron chicken was super crispy, burned and hard to chew, the side of plantain was not my favorite. So I don't recommend at all. Chicken quesadilla was ok, and fries for kids was too oily. Environment: Ok place to dine in, nothing special. Staff: Friendly
