" What a delightful little spot in Alameda! Cholita Linda had that warm & cozy vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. I tried their Cubano sandwich, and it was delectable! It was served hot and filled with high-quality ingredients. My only critique was the length of wait time during a busy lunch hour. Aside from that, the service was friendly and overall a great experience. I would love to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love coming to Cholita Linda! Every time I order their fish tacos, I am blown away by how fresh everything tastes. The crunchy cabbage and the crispy fish work wonderfully together. The location is bright and lively, making it a perfect hangout spot. Although the staff was a bit overloaded during peak hours, they were friendly and managed to keep things rolling smoothly. I'd easily recommend this spot to anyone looking for good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm in love with Cholita Linda! The atmosphere is like being in a little corner of Latin America right in Alameda. I tried the Cubano sandwich and the flavors blew me away. The proportions were generous, and my only complaint would be that I would have loved a bit more variety in their sauces. For dessert, I tried the fried plantains, and they made a perfect sweet ending to my meal. Definitely a place to which I'll be returning very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having heard about Cholita Linda from friends, I finally decided to check it out. The menu had a great selection, and I went with the steak sandwich and a side of yucca fries. The steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned well, and the fries were crispy. However, the service was a bit inconsistent, which detracted from the overall experience. I’ll likely give it another chance as the flavors were impressive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cholita Linda has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Alameda. The ambience is always inviting with chic decor, and the outdoor seating is a bonus. I ran into a couple of hiccups with the service this time – it took longer to receive our orders and there seemed to be a misunderstanding with one of my friends' meals. But once the food arrived, it was all worth the wait! The carne asada was succulent and seasoned to perfection, and the agua fresca was refreshing. I love this place, and despite the service mishap, I will keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Cholita Linda and was pleasantly surprised by how good their fish tacos were! They included generous portions of perfectly fried fish, crunchy cabbage, and tangy sauces. The ambiance was laid-back, and it felt like a perfect day to sit outside. However, the service did take a bit longer than expected, which was the only downside to an otherwise fantastic meal. Still, I would highly recommend trying their tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cholita Linda has a delightful atmosphere that is bright and welcoming. I visited for a quick lunch and tried the fish tacos that are often spoken about. The food was fresh, although I felt the tacos were a bit on the smaller side for the price. The service was warm and accommodating, making my meal pleasant overall. While I wasn't completely blown away, I did enjoy the experience. " (*Curated Review*)
