Cholita Linda, the Bay Area restaurant group known for its fish tacos, Cubano sandwiches and fast-casual Latin American fare in brightly-decorated environs, has opened its fourth location, this time in Walnut Creek’s Broadway Plaza shopping center.
The restaurant walls are decorated with facades that evoke charming residential streets somewhere in Latin America, complete with pink and yellow houses with sills popped out to display planter boxes overflowing with flowers. The new location was first announced last June.
The new menu offers five types of tacos ($4.95 each) with fillings including fish, carnitas, carne asada, pollo al pastor and tofu, each served with cabbage slaw, crema and a salsa. There are sandwiches featuring pork, steak or Peruvian roast beef ($14.50 to $14.95). The Baja fish taco is crispy and flavorful — it was named No. 4 on USA Today’s 10 Best Fish Tacos in California list in 2018 — while the tofu taco is surprisingly filling and savory.

For those looking for even more filling fare, the restaurant offers plates such as chicharron de pollo ($15.65) made with crispy chicken, salsa criolla, rice, beans, yellow sauce, salad and sweet potatoes. Meanwhile, sides include plantains, beans and ric, and yucca fries ($5.50 to $6.50).
