Cholita Linda

Food is ok, the chicken rice plantain plate was very good, tacos were a bit anaemic. The sweet potato fries were soggy unfortunately. This is a place that asks for a tip after ordering when in reality you sit down at a restaurant that makes you order at a counter then get your own water and clean up after yourself. $44 for 2 people for all the food and 1 drink pictured including tax + tip.

Last Sunday I ordered some food to go from Cholita Linda in Alameda. I've eaten at the Oakland location years ago and it was really good. The tacos I ordered at the Alameda location weren't good at all! I ordered the chicken, Carne asada and carnitas taco. The chicken didn't even taste like chicken. It just tasted like very bland mystery meat. It had no flavor! The Carne asada tasted old and chewy. The carnitas tasted old and lacked flavor. The salsa on all 3 tacos was way too hot! It was so spicy and hot that I couldn't even tell what type of meat/protein I was eating. I can handle hot spicy food but this was way too much. My tongue and lips were on fire! Not cool! Literally! On the other hand, the Lechon sandwich was delicious! The pulled pork shoulder was very tender and flavorful, the sweet potatoes, salsa and garlic aioli all blended very well together. The French bread was toasted and tasted fresh. I've tried all of their sandwiches and the Lechon is by far the best! I highly recommend the Lechon sandwich. I do not recommend any of the 3 tacos I ordered above. They were terrible!

A very cute place inside, but whilst ordering they were out of many items stating they didn't have it and when asked about beers, they only listed 2 of the ones listed on the menu and none of the cocktails. Limited seating so we had to grab the first place to sit and it was the window counter which was mighty uncomfortable seating. The food that I did get was the asado sandwich which was delicious and the Strawberry agua fresca which was also great. My son got the carnitas tacos and according to him they were spicy which I don't believe was advertised.

I did a pickup. we eat Meghan good regularly, not new to Latin American food. but evening was excellent. fresh and tasty. like us, is there new to this food, doing forget to order plantains. fish was fresh, just-enough fried and didn't smell. ambience was excellent and interesting. inside walls are decorated as if they are the exterior of houses on a street, very cool. would certainly visit again.

A nice place with a very nice warm vibe. Tasty food. Fish tacos and the fried chicken plate were good. The specials chicken sandwich was superb

They have an amazing Cubano sandwich & great hot sauce to go with it , get it without the aioli , it doesn't need it at all

Very relaxed atmosphere and we really enjoyed our sandwhich. It was very tasty. A little bit on the oily side, but was good! The fish taco was a bit basic, but maybe that is the point. I found it a bit lacking in taste. Highly recommend the sandwhiches! Nice location in a busy street in Alameda. Worth a visit!

AMAZING flavors in both the sandwiches and tacos we tried. Asado & Papito sandwiches by far the favorite. Yuca root fries were very unique! Cute inside and comfortable ambiance. Bright colors and an assortment of large and small tables with good, natural lighting. Customer service was friendly, but not over the top...just average, no smiles. How they're treated well by management. One note is that online ordering is the only way for takeout orders -- tough if never been there before, so we had to go in to see it better. Another note: parking is tough. We walked a few blocks, so bad no issues.

Came in to order one thing and one thing only: the asado sandwich! I've ordered it once before and it was SO delicious. There is just the right amount of roast beef and the caramelized onions provides the right amount of contrast and crunch the sandwich needs. The aioli keeps the sandwich juicy while the bread sandwiches everything perfectly. This sandwich is my go-to order. Service was also really nice, the cashier was friendly and ordering was a breeze. There are many tables and benches for siting and the restaurant is very spacious in general.

My husband and I come here for their yummy sandwiches and delicious yuca fries. My husband loves the Pollo Chicharrón which is served with rice and your choice of pinto or black beans and a small little side salad. Everything is delicious. The last time we came, I ordered a side of guacamole and chips and it never made it to my bag. It's OK not the end of the world. I just wish service was a little bit better and they were review their bags. Overall, ambience is very cool and low-key eclectic. You can come in here with jeans and a T-shirt or you can come in here for a quick informal lunch date.

The place is cute! The interior is made to look like the outside of a block of interconnected buildings. Complete with a balcony also. Super colorful with bright and pastel colors. It was Monday night and I was hangry for some carbs, so I went to try their rice plates-- the chiccarron pollo. I had the option between fish or chicken and ultimately went with chicken, thinking it might be a healthier options. It is self service and self selected seating. You order upfront, grab a buzzer, pour yourself a cup of water, and sit down. They will deliver your food though. After waiting a while, my food finally came. And...Who was I kidding? The chicken and fish plates were both fried hah. The chicken was a tough kind of crispy and dry. I was kind of disappointed. It wasn't so bad with the spicy sauce though! But fish might have been the better choice. The salad was plain and came with only a drizzle of oil on top. The fried plantains however were wonderful... and made up for it. I left the restaurant full and satisfied. I'd come again to try their fish plate or tacos!

I tried Cholita in Oakland a few months ago & really enjoyed the experience. I expected no less. Pescado Frito 4.9outta5 -Fish was cooked perfectly, crispy outside, moist inside. The plantains were sweet and cooked nicely. Black beans were full of flavor. Organic salad tasted as it should w/the accompanying dressing. Very efficient service, nice location. I'm sure it's a vibe after 5!

Ate here for lunch on a Monday around 2. It wasn't very crowded. We just walked in off the street and ordered. The place was clean and quiet. Just an all around chill vibe. Service was prompt and friendly. I got the street tacos. And a Diet Coke. Coke came in a can. I got one of each of the tacos. They were all pretty tasty. I didn't get up and slap anybody, but they were decent. Overall a decent place for lunch. There were some other things on the menu, that probably would have been better than the tacos. I'll have to experiment.

I still won't be returning, but I want to give them credit for giving me a separate refund for the part of the refund they had originally left out. I have no idea why.

So this place is very cute and the food is fresh and healthy. The service is also very nice and there is plenty of seating. You walk in and order and then sit down and wait for your food. It did take quite a while to get our food and the restaurant wasn't that busy. Lots of veggie options and there seemed to be a lot of regulars. Being from SJ tho I would say it was not something I would drive back for.

You would think with how many times I've eaten at Cholita Linda (their Temescal location, this Alameda location, at their tent during the pre-COVID Old Oakland Friday markets, and through DoorDash deliveries), that I would have written a review on at least one of their Yelp pages. Alas, over half a decade of patronizing this business and I'm just getting around to it. Apologies! First off, I think it's impossible to be or remain in a bad mood when you're inside. You may have gotten annoyed trying to find parking and walk inside a little aggravated because someone beat you to a close street parking spot, but the bright interior and great music (love Buena Vista Social Club's "Chan Chan") transport you to a better state of mind. My go-to order is usually three Baja fish tacos and yuca fries, but I've been known to order a sandwich (Cubano, Papito, Lechon, or Asado - all solid choices) and some chips and salsa from time to time, too. If you order fish tacos through DoorDash, they've thought of it all and can put the crema and salsa on the side. They actually even have the option to put extra crema and salsa on the side, too. My only gripe, and it's ridiculous, is that I wish they gave extra lime wedges with the tacos. Or maybe by now I should already know to bring one of my own lol. Food is quick and definitely reliable. There's never been a time when I've felt like an order was off flavor or texture-wise. In the trenches of life with a newborn, my husband and I went straight here on a cold, dreary weekend in February and found comfort in having a solid meal that didn't leave either of us feeling too heavy or still peckish. Our newborn was also a bit stunned into silence by all of the activity and liveliness around her (this is definitely a popular weekend spot). Thank you, CL, for being such a bright spot - literally and figuratively.

What can I say about Cholita Linda except that they have the best fish tacos to be found anywhere! I have to thank my girlfriend for introducing me to truly life changing tacos; I always order the same thing each time (2 of the aforementioned heavenly bites). Ordering is simple at the cashier and a member of the wait staff will bring the food to you at the table (don't worry these tacos hold up well to-go too). Their menu has a nice range of tortas, plates, and other proteins if fish isn't for you. Don't wait, go visit any of their locations!

I have been meaning to come here, always pass the one on Telegraph. Happened to be in Alameda and had a craving for fish tacos....and they didn't disappoint. I ordered the fish tacos, wanted crispy shells but I had to settle for the crispy fish...and it was delicious. Ordered a side of plantains...perfect! I will definitely be back...

We came here for dinner on a Tuesday night. There was no line when we got there. You order and pay at the counter. They had plenty of seats available in the dining area. The place was clean and tidy. We both ordered the pescado frito which came with/ rice, your choice of beans, salad, pickled onions and plantains. I ordered a very delicious mango agua fresca and he ordered a margarita. It took about 15 minutes to get our food. The whole plate was delicious. The fish was nice and crispy, the salad was perfect and before I knew it, I had finished my plate. I was stuffed and the food was perfectly portioned for me. We bussed our own plated and that was the whole experience. Will definitely be back.

Few options for those that don't eat meat. They do have tofu as a substitute, but many people need to steer clear of soy, as it is a phytoestrogen. Would love to see them get more creative with plant-based offerings - roasted vegetables would be an amazing option! At least please offer a grilled fish option instead of fried. My partner loves their tacos, and I used to enjoy them as well, but if you're on a different type of diet, you may find the pickings a bit slim here.

For as long has I've lived in Alameda, this Cholita Linda location has been so reliable and consistently good. I always get the most bang for my buck and the food is amazing. I can eat indoors in their wonderfully decorated restaurant, or out around the corner for some communal outdoor seating. Here's what I always order: BAJA FISH TACOS - $3.85 Crispy fried fish, salsa roja, cabbage slaw, baja crema. The best fish tacos ever! The batter is crispy and this taco is full of flavor. Ask for extra crema and salsa roja. CHIPS & GUACAMOLE - $5.45 Your standard house-made chips that is thick, crispy and lightly salted with a scoop of delicious guacamole. Great one to share! ASADO SANDWICH - $12.50 Peruvian style roast beef, caramelized onions, organic arugula, aioli and jack cheese on grilled French bread. This rich sandwich can easily be shared. It's jam packed with all the goods--the roast beef and onions, and it's cheesy and they don't skimp on the aioli. It's my go-to sandwich choice here. It's a hefty one, and heads up, it's' wonderfully shiny (greasy, hehe). Every now and then I get beverages: STRAWBERRY AQUA - $3.85 Sweet, refreshing and the kind of drink that always hits the spot! SANGRIA - $6.50 Also sweet and refreshing! So good! I can easily order online or at the counter. Staff is always friendly and efficient. I appreciate how reasonably priced this place of quality is. I love you Cholita Linda, I'm so happy you opened one near me.

What I ordered: 10/10: Baja Fish Tacos - $3.85 each 10/10: Strawberry Agua Fresca - $3.85 Cholita Linda is my go to spot for fish tacos in the Bay. Parking on Park St. is always difficult to find so I recommend parking around the block and walking. There is plenty of seating available, but you may still have to wait for one especially when it's busy. The service is always great and the food comes out quickly! My favorite thing to get are the fish tacos. The batter is light, airy, and incredibly crispy without being too greasy. The fried fish is balanced out by the acidity from the lime. You have to add the hot sauce when eating the tacos too! The strawberry agua fresca is also one of my favorites. They use real strawberries and it does not taste artificial at all. Overall, I highly recommend Cholita Linda if you're in the mood for fish tacos. They also offer other items that never disappoint! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Total: 5/5

Best fish tacos around, and we can fight if you disagree! While I've tried other items here, it's the fish tacos that keep me coming back!!! So Crispy and perfectly balanced and delicious! I also like their margaritas! Their sangrias are good but a little too sweet for me. You order at the register and you get a number that vibrates when it's ready to pick up. Food is always wonderful and decently priced, and I always get the same wonderful flavors. We love consistency!

Join us on a flavorful journey with our sustainable food tour, starting at Cholita Linda for scrumptious tacos! Step one, order at the counter, relish community seating, and bus your own table. The tacos are delicious and the evening atmosphere is pure delight! The best part? The charming little chipped plates made me feel like I was dining at my Latino friend's grandmother's home. We'll be back for the nighttime experience!

Always really good food, most of the time really nice service, super cute and festive inside with a good amount of seating. I loved their Oakland location so happy Alameda has one too. Parking is nonexistent as it is prime mid park street, so be prepared to park and walk. The Baja fish tacos are really good! I've also had their tofu tacos and they were actually really good! I also recommend the plantains with crema, black beans and rice with crema, and their chips and guac are good. Good thick chips that won't break when scooping. The mango drink is so tasty and goes well with all the savory food. My friend had the sangria and said it was delicious. I've also had their cubano sandwich (I order with no mustard no pickles!) which was good and hearty, and I've had the papito sandwich which is a bit on the sweeter side due to the caramelized onions and plantains in it. I would highly recommend this Cholita Linda. This would also be a great, cute little date spot for people as it's affordable, good food with a fun, cute atmosphere.

Such a cute place! Love the decor and food. Their service is also A+. I always get their tacos and you should too!

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.

THE BEST fish tacos I've ever had. I crave them all the time and can't recommend enough. The age old question "What should we eat?" This. This is what you want. Good variety to satisfy a group. Such a fun atmosphere and service has never disappointed. I would give them 6 stars if I could.

This review is specifically for their tacos; I went there with a group and we got a combination of carne asada, fish, and carnitas tacos. The fish tacos were super crunchy with with a thick batter and the fish was bland. The lime wedges were also quite small. The carne asada and al pastor were fine, but each taco comes with a good amount of cabbage/radish garnish and sour cream. I would have preferred more traditional tacos, where the greens didn't overpower the meat. Maybe their sandwiches are better...but we live in the Bay there's no need to get tacos here.

Food was so good! The tofu taco was flavorful and tasty! Also loved the plate with bananas. Everything was light and loads of textures and flavors. I didn't have that oily film residue that can linger with heavy foods. Service was very fast before the lunch rush. Tons of high schoolers come at lunch time, if you can avoid that- I would recommend or you won't have anywhere to sit. Also lots of people working nearby on lunch. Otherwise, the restaurant is super fun with colorful decor. I also had a margarita- which was nicely sweetened- not too sweet. I will definitely come here again! Had a great experience!

Good old trusty Cholita. I am a semi-regular at their Temescal location, so excited to try the newer to me Alameda spot. Located right on Park, this spot is popular. Do expect a line at meal times. Once you order, find a table, and they bring your food to you. The space is airy, with cathedral ceilings and communal tables. On a bright sunny afternoon, if I couldn't be eating outside, this was a perfect second best, minus the fact that seemingly an entire high school class was seated at a table drawing, being roudy and blocking the bathroom. : End old lady rant.:: I went with my trusty salad with pollo asado. It's my go-to for a light and healthy lunch, and that's what it is. Nothing mind blowing, pretty pedestrian, but a tasty salad. The go-to menu recs are the sandwiches. My colleague ordered the asado and I definitely had FOMO. But mama needs to lose some lbs'. Pro-tip: Not feeling beef, ask for the asado but with tofu. It's bomb.com. (Do kids still say that?) Overall, Cholita is a gem for a fun, casual lunch!

Most delicious carne asada tacos north of LA. Their guacamole is also delicious and their black beans are surprisingly savory.

The cutest unassuming little eatery! Props to my husband to planning a day full of little eats for me :) We arrived right when it opened and got the plantains, 4 tacos (Baja fish, carnitas, carne asada, and pollo al pastor), and the maizena de coco. The plantains were so amazing. I wanted to get another order just for me. They only come with 5 pieces of plantains, but they're worth it. All 4 of the tacos looked the same, but I would have to say my favorites were Baja fish and the pollo al pastor. The fish is more like your fish and chips style of deep fried fish. The maizena de coco, which is a coconut pudding topped with mango-passion fruit sauce or cinnamon was interesting. Nothing like I've ever had before, but I can see it as being very refreshing on a hot day. The texture of the coconut pudding was almost like pulverized coconut meat, coconut juice, and gelatin in a puck like mold.

The best fish tacos you can ever eat! I do not know whats the secret but they are amazing! If you are ever in Alameda and feel like eating some delicious fish tacos, this is your spot! 100% recommend!!!

Yesss it's worth the hype!! I've always driven by but never went in. I recently checked it out as a pre-concert meal. Interior is super nice. I got the carne asada and Baja fish tacos. Both were very delicious! The carne asada was soo juicy and meat was soft. The Baja fish had a light batter and was very refreshing. It had a lil bit of coleslaw and sauce, which gave it a nice balance to the fried fish. Service was fast as well. Definitely will be back in the future!

We got food to go. Always enjoy the salads and fish tacos! Pescado frito plate was tasty too.

Super disappointed. We came in here after seeing all the rave about the fish tacos. Unfortunately we were beyond disappointed. The fish tacos was mostly batter and tasted extremely hard. I couldn't even swallow it. See photo. The chips and salsa were great The roast beef sandwich was decent 7/10. Parking was easy. Ordering at the counter. Food came out fairly fast. Probably won't come here for fish tacos

Food is always fresh & delicious! My favorite thing is their fish tacos. Service was friendly & answered our questions about certain dishes. Ambiance is clean, neat, always nostalgic of Cuba/Latinx feel. Would always recommend coming back!

I have now finally settled my home for Baja fish tacos to Cholita Linda in Alameda (since it's closer than the Temescal location) - you can find my 5-star review on that location too. My husband and I frequent this location at least once a month solely for the Baja fish tacos and chips & guac with their delicious agua frescas to quench our thirst. I have learned to always ask for additional salsa roja for my tacos (it's a must for me). Service is quick and food comes out promptly. Place is never crowded, and that's a great thing for my visits since I can always find seating. Ambiance is chill with moderate noise level depending on amount of customers there are. The only gripe I have is that the restrooms don't offer paper towels and we highly dislike using the hand dryer, so we always take a napkin with us to use after washing our hands before chowing down. Parking can be difficult, but you circle around once or twice and you'll be sure to find something if you don't want to park away at one of the nearby lots.

Cholita Linda is a great place for a quick bite and if you're in the mood for fish tacos. Their fish tacos are so delicious and for the longest that's all I would order. Because they are that good! The fish tacos are beer battered and not too greasy. The ambience is causal and they blast salsa music! Fun but somewhat loud at times. They have large community tables to share with other people. So be prepared to wait for a table if you go during dinner time. The place is packed with families and their kids devices. They also have more seating outside next to the yogurt shop. Keep in mind if you order chips and salsa they do not refill the chips. I also loved the chicken al pastor and carne asada tacos as well. You also have to bus your table before you leave but definitely worth a visit!

This review is for anyone who likes Mexican food and has been exposed to honest Mexican food. This is not authentic Mexican food, do not be fooled by the name of the restaurant or the menu. It may have been common sense to not come here if you want good Mexican food, but we came from San Jose and were in the area, and it had 4.5 stars so we were quite mislead. I would like to start off with a picture of the salsa, that should be telling enough :0. Alongside the salsa, we ordered Baja Fresh tacos and the Papito sandwich which were honestly tough to finish. The slaw on top of the Baja Fresh tacos were not complimentary, although the fish was good, the Papito sandwich was extremely thin and overpowered with garlic. The agua Fresca was okay, mild in flavor. The employees were nice though and checked up on us. The overall vibe, we were the only Latinos and the place was filled, and the seating arrangement gives off more of a cafeteria vibe. Skip this place, respectfully.

Great food. My family is from Peru and their Latin American food is spot on. The place was packed and super busy so expect to wait but understanding the rewards is worth it

Service - 3/5 Food - 4/5 Ambiance - 4/5 Enjoyed a weekday lunch at Cholita Linda. I was a little surprised by how busy it was around 1pm, but we luckily were still able to snag a table for 4. Pescado frito- Was delicious. Would definitely order again. This was cooked to perfection Baja fish taco - tasty. Had a nice crunch Carnitas taco - flavor was good. Wasn't a huge fan of the cabbage on this one but still enjoyed the taco.

Went to Cholita Linda on Park Street in Alameda. The place had very nice decor. You can almost feel like you are somewhere in South America. The Agua Mango Limeade was delicious. I had a Asado Cubano with a side of Yucca Fries. My partner had a fish dish with side of guacamole and chips. The food I thought was a little too seasoned and not in a good way. Leaving there I felt like I had several tablespoons of salt which was probably why I drank all of my limeade to water all that salt down. This place would be better off just letting those natural Latin flavors kick in, then unnecessarily adding salt to kick up their dishes. The place has a good menu and some nice drinks but needs consistency in seasoning their food.

I came here with a few coworkers for lunch on a weekday. It's on Park Street in Alameda so my coworker parked at the paid parking structure by the movie theater (I think for about 75 cents) and we made a 5 minute walk over. We each ordered individually inside and I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable my lunch with a beer was less than $20). I ordered an Ensalada con Pescado Frito with a side of guac to add to it and this was absolutely phenomenal! The crispy fish in my salad mixed with avocado, black beans, salsa and greens was something I didn't realize I had craved for so long. My coworkers each ordered Cubano sandwiches which they loved as well. I absolutely recommend this place as a quick western Mexican affordable option and look forward to coming here many more times when I'm in the Alameda area with and without coworkers.

This is a cute, airy, and clean establishment nestled in between a hair salon and a yogurt shop on Park Street in Alameda. They had a variety of sandwiches an option for a salad or platter...and tacos--ala carte. I ordered a chicken and carne Asada taco...they were plated pretty full so trying to eat cute and clean was bit possible. The tacos, along with guacamole and salsa were pretty flavorful.

Cute little shop, the fish taco was very good! Not too much seating but there are some tables with shade two stores down. I got the fish taco and beef taco. The fish taco can definitely satisfy your fish cravings!

Cholita Linda offers a small menu of Latin American street food-inspired sandwiches, tacos, and plates, all in a bright, colorful setting! The Baja Fish taco was built on two corn tortillas topped with crispy fried fish, salsa roja, cabbage slaw, and baja crema, served with a side of lime. The Sanguches were pressed sandwiches built on French bread with a crispy, griddled crust, and I tried the Cubano, which came with juicy pulled pork shoulder, Black Forest ham, mustard, pickles, aioli, and Swiss cheese; and the Asado, made of Peruvian-style roast beef, caramelized onions, arugula, aioli, and Jack cheese. At the table was a bottle of vinegary hot sauce, which added a nice acidic bite and slightly spicy kick to the tacos and sandwiches, which was quite welcome, as the food here tasted a bit underseasoned.

Cholita Linda is a full package when it comes to vibes and taste. When it comes to latin American food in Alameda, this place hits the spot every time. As a fairly casual, yet colorful spot on Park St, people are always bustling in and out and this spot always hits as a relaxed environment perfect for catching up with friends or grabbing a quick bite before a movie. Came here on a Tuesday around noon to catch up with a friend and we split a sandwich and each got a taco. Asado Sandwich (5/5): So yummy and juicy. I'm usually a little pickier about my sandwiches, but this sandwich had a balance of all the basics to a sandwich that I love. Beef was tender and filling, cheese was stretchy, exterior was crisp... what else could you want? Definitely one of the best sandwich spots. Carne Asada Tacos (3.5/5): Yummy and also pretty stuffed, but not much stood out to me compared to any Taco Tuesday I could go to. Also not a huge fan of too much sour cream. Overall, a classic and great spot in Shmeda! Cholita Linda adds so much color and pop to Park St, and it definitely hits as a go-to in Alameda.

Tasty crispy fish tacos! Also good chips and guacamole. Music can be loud sometimes, making it hard to have a conversation with others.

Every time i get the fish taco at the farmers market the fish is fresh and delicious, as are the refreshing juices they have. Came in about 2 hours before closing ordered take out: the fried fish plate Testones with small portion of ground beef mix they offer Side of rice and beans 3 of the juices 2 lime 1 strawberry Every thing except the fried fish was great. The fish has a great batter but the fish itself tasted very rotten, had that metallic moldy taste as soon as i bit into it. Blah

Tonight we ordered in and the food was delivered quickly and was piping hot. The fish tacos are hands down the best ever! The fish was cooked perfectly, the cabbage was fresh and crunchy and the sauce was beautifully flavored with just the right amount of spice. The Papito sandwich is so unique with plantains, sliced steak, arugula and melty cheese and toasted to perfection. Everything was so fresh and flavorful!

I was at the alameda location the other day. I ordered the chicharron de pollo and asked for it without criolla, but they did add it and took a bit longer than usual to make . It was during the rush hour. I know things can get a bit intense in the kitchen, so it's all good. I spoke to the manager Nancy, and she was very friendly and resolved the issue . great food, great service. I'm definitely not going to let that little hiccup stop me from going back

The food is good, the decor is nice. It's a nice change from your usual greasy street tacos from nearby Oakland. Parking can be difficult. If you want tacos but you're not very hungry, you come here.

Best limeade ever!! The fries were meh...typical and the kind you can get anywhere. The fish tacos were so light and fresh---out of this world! Service with a smile, too.

This is my go to place for tacos when I am in the area. Tacos are always great. To go packaging are specially made for tacos so they maintain the shape and not get scattered all over the place. Staffs are all very helpful and friendly. So I am very happy with their service. The restaurant decoration is quaint and l'ambiance is cafeteria style. I will go back for sure.

Horrible! Do not come here! The cashier is rude and they nickel and dime you for everything. I didn't like the margarita and asked to change to the Sangria after one sip. The woman made a big deal about. She took my cup to a back room out of site. When she came back, she made a huge deal about no ice in my cup. Service here is TERRIBLE! Don't do it!! Go to Burma Superstar or Noodle Lover Club instead.
