Cholita Linda nails Latino food fusion. I’ve visited a few times and tried the carnitas, fish, and chicken tacos, all delicious. Where else can I satisfy my taco crave with side options like crispy yuca frita and sweet plantains? I will definitely have to try other items on the menu! If you’re in the area, this place is worth a visit.

Food is absolutely delicious, it can get quite busy during brunch/lunch but it’s definitely worth the wait. Chips & guac is very fresh, tacos are ALL GOOD, aqua fresca (limeade) is refreshingly good.

Literally the most delicious!!! Loved this place in Oakland and am so happy it’s out here now in Walnut Creek. Everything on the menu is truly incredible - SO GOOD. Also, the salad dressing is crazy delicious. The plates are great, so are the tacos and all of the sides. Go here!! It’s so good.

Stopped by to try it out and was very happy. Staff was friendly, food was quite good and felt like a good value for the money. The outdoor patio is also nice, and has good heating even in the cold. I’d definitely get the polo al pastor taco again, it was delicious.

Been driving through the Caldecott tunnel to get to the Cholita Linda in Berkeley for years. So happy that Walnut Creek finally has one. Fish tacos 12/10, Cubano sandwich 12/10, chicharrones de pollo 12/10. Give them a try!

I was blown away to see Cholita Linda in WC. I've always gone to the one in Oakland. So you know I was happy to get my Pepito! Sandwiches are always good, but my favorite is the Pepito. I also got the blackberry fresca. Soo good! Friendly staff. Good amount of space and seating. Price matches the quality IMO.
