I took my family out for lunch and we loved the food. The food was served quick, and hot!!! Our added touch was celebrating my Daughter-N-Law's birthday. We'll definitely be back.

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.

Still a favorite after 10 years now! Their food is consistent and they’re an example of a brand that does a few things really well, including their smooth red salsa they put on all their tacos. Their prices are also fair, currently $4.85 per taco.

In a world that’s always changing, glad Cholita is still a go to I can rely on 🥰
