How do I mount kitchen cabinets on a concrete block wall?

I have a duplex that was built in the early sixties, it is a concrete block house. I am getting ready to install new kitchen cabinets and I have run into a dilemma, that being 2 of the walls that have cabinets on them are plasterboard over the exterior block. What is the best way to mount them without having to worry about them falling off the wall. I was thinking of using Tapcon screws but I'm worries about how they will look. Any advice would be wonderful. thanks in advance all.

1. you could drill in expansion anchors or install furring strips with the masonry screws and then mount the cabinets to the furring. the problem there is that it spaces the cabinetry further into the room and you'll need to put false panels on the ends to cover the furring strips.. also, it could affect your countertop depths..
