The fish tacos, they are a comin’: It’s been a year since rumors started circulating that Cholita Linda, the popular Bay Area farmers’ market vendor, was planning to open a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Oakland’s Temescal neighborhood.
Now, husband-and-wife owners Murat Sozeri and Vanessa Chavez are finally making it official: Construction on their new 4923-27 Telegraph Avenue restaurant, which will also be called Cholita Linda, has started in earnest. Chavez and Sozeri are optimistic that the 1,800-square-foot restaurant, with room to seat 45 diners, will be ready to open by the early summer.
