Cholita Linda — Restaurant in Walnut Creek

I popped in on my lunch break and I’m happy I did. I don’t normally come to Walnut Creek for work, but when I come by again, I’m 100% coming here again. I’m upset this is the closet location to me.

I ordered a cabano sandwich and strawberry fresca. It took awhile to receive my order, but when I got it, the worker informed me that my cabano had been burnt, so they made another one before handing it to me. I really appreciate that they took the extra time to do this. That sandwich was gone in seconds. I honestly would have eaten it burnt, it was that good. The lady also gave me a side of chips and guacamole for the wait. And it’s that good guac, you know, the kind with actual chunks of avocado, finely diced red onion, and a subtle kick?

That cabano was so good, I told my boyfriend about it. Dudes a total snob when it comes to cabanos. He doubted me and immediately went into his snobby rants about how cabano sandwiches are supposed to be. Anyways, I asked him if he wanted one… he said yes. On my last break I went back and ordered a second Cabano and drove it back home. He took a bite and said “holy sh*t, that is good,” then did a little wiggle over the kitchen sink and took a second bite. His snobby butt never does that, and he ate that sandwich cold cause he is a weirdo and doesn’t care about food temperatures. He is saving the rest for later and I told him to warm it up proper.

Long story short, that cabano sandwich was super good. I know my picture doesn’t do it justice,...

The food here is wonderful. I am a big fan of their location in SF Ferry Building, so I was happy to see they opened a location in Walnut Creek.

The service here at the Walnut Creek location really needs some work. We waited over 45 minutes for 3 tacos at lunch. We finally got up to check on the order and they lost it!

They said “ok we will make it right now”

I then waited another 15 minutes and they still had not made it! So I asked for my money back.

They then offered to make the food for us anyway, for free, and we agreed, but when they brought the order they brought it as a to-go order, and when we finally got to eat it they had also shorted the meal a taco.

I had come in to have a nice sit-down lunch with my partner and unfortunately we left frustrated. Try the...

On the 4th of March, my parents each ordered a Cubano sandwich. My father ate the whole sandwich and my mother ate half of hers. Six hours later he began vomiting, which lasted well into the following day. My mother had diarrhea for hours after eating the sandwich. My parents, friends and I have eaten at the Oakland location and loved the food, atmosphere and prices. We were excited when one opened in Walnut Creek. Unfortunately, it seems as though a food safety issue may have occurred at the Walnut...
