They catered my wedding and it was amazing! Food seemed even fresher and more delicious than at the restaurant! Great price. Loved working with them. One of the best decisions I made.

Cholita Linda is super delish with options for everyone!
But- the reason I cannot give them the 5 stars I so desperately want to after dining here for 7 years straight is:
The portions for take out are SIGNIFICANTLY less than dine-in.
To the point I am hesitant to bring home food for my family from them anymore. Dining THERE is perfect, but ordering? You will get the measliest amount of food for premium prices. Especially the rice (which is arguably the cheapest item in a platter). This change happened over the pandemic where I assume the portions dwindled to save money & keep them afloat.
But business is booming. A new location in both SF and Walnut Creek denotes they’re doing well post-pandemic.
Fix the take out portions, Cholita and i’ll update my review to a 5 star!
I’ll include a picture.

I haven't tried the sandwiches but the tacos are just ok. The carnitas were all the same texture and basically flavorless, also not a fan of the way they cook and cut up their carne asada. Everything is just kind of mushy with a faint taste of chipotle salsa. The crema kind of saved it even though I don't typically like crema on tacos. Overall I was sad there wasn't good salsa on the tacos or offered on the side and everything tasted the same but not great. The saving grace was the mango passion fruit agua fresca, that was amazing! The packaging was also great but I wish they would concentrate on the flavors and make good salsa.

I can only speak to what I had, but the chicken plate (not the fried plate) didn't hit for me. In the past, tacos have been decent if a little expensive. Service and restaurant decor were all v on point though.

Best fish tacos in the bay bruh, it didn't even need the lime or salsa. But I tend to add things when I see them in front of me
Even with a semi long line it went by fast and food was delivered to table in less than 10 mins. Food was very delicious and was fresh & hot. The atmosphere was comfortable and clean! Everyone was very nice and helpful when asked any questions.

Judy and my First Date was here, because I wanted to find out how she liked “family dining.” I love the long tables and friendly conversations that emerge. My food faves are the fish tacos and platillo dinner, —-and the margaritas!! My daughter’s buddy lives a few blocks away, so we decided to ask her to join us for lunch. The ladies had tacos, where they pile crunchy coleslaw on the tacos with a salsa to die for. We had a fun lunch in the back patio, where it was quieter.

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Enjoyed myself in this local North inOakland favorite with my Brother and our beautiful wives for an early evening dinner date. Me and my brother enjoyed the Asado Sandwich, Wife had the fish and carnitas tacos, and my sister had a chicken salad. Everyone was thoroughly satisfied and enjoyed themselves.

One of the spots in the Oakland/Temescal area for Cuban sandwiches both for dining in and ordering for lunch for the office. The papito and asado sandwiches are my go tos! They also have tacos, rice plates, and sides. The sauce goes well with the sandwiches and their sangrias are also good too! It’s nice a colorful with indoor seating and some outdoor seating. Be careful parking in this area and to not have anything in your cars because they get broken into a lot out here.
Vegetarian options: Sides
Parking: Be careful when you park here, lots of cars get broken into on the street or in nearby parking lots.
