Cholita Linda

Cholita Linda is a Latin American restaurant on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland's Temescal district, known for its fish tacos, with a second location in Alameda.

Overview

The original restaurant sits at 4923 Telegraph Ave., between 49th and 51st streets. Hoodline describes it as a Latin American spot built around tacos and salads, and a later branch opened in Alameda. Both locations appeared in KRON4's 2022 list of the most highly reviewed taco restaurants in the Bay Area, published for National Taco Day.

Fish tacos

Cholita Linda is most often cited for fish tacos. When Edible East Bay asked readers for their favorite fish tacos in the region in 2019, the restaurant was one of the places included on the resulting map, alongside other Temescal and Oakland spots. The menu's broader Latin American framing sets it apart from the regional Mexican taquerías and trucks that dominate East Oakland.
