"From an always-busy farmers market food truck in 2008 to three brick-and-mortars (in Oakland, Alameda, and San Francisco), this pan-Latin spot highlights Peruvian, Mexican, and Cuban flavors and is a great place for a tot’s first meal out. Cholita Linda reliably delivers for families: Highchairs available; noise level moderate; aguas frescas flowing; and the combo of sweet plantains, rice, and black beans, all naturally appealing to kids. Fish tacos can be ordered plain, too, while adults revel in carnitas tacos, Cubano sandwiches, and the sweet-tangy-savory picadillo, which marries ground beef, olives, raisins, and peppers in one powerhouse dish." - Justine Jones, Laura Smith Borrman
