Baja Sharkeez

Great drinks, easy and laid back. Happy hours are fantastic. Fun place to go on weekends or weekdays after work, grab dinner.

Was just cool tho, not sure what i was expecting but was more of latino music here , so i am black i came with friends, i basically had to go with the flow, atmosphere was trendy

Great atmosphere. Solid food and drinks. Can’t go wrong here. Guaranteed to have a good time!

The best Fish Tacos Especial in Southern. California. Banging flavor lightly crispy. Delicious rice. Adrean who served me on Sunday late afternoon. Was great 👍 Dane at the bar, very hospitable. I will return.

Jose was phenomenal. He really made us feel welcomed and goes out of his way for you. I wish more people had his quality of work. I highly recommend this place because of him.

This place has really good food. The environment is very upbeat and a cool place to hang with your friends. It's a little small but the food portions are extremely HUGE! They were selling $16 margaritas that hosted 4 patron shots. They would not allow us to order a smaller size, stating they were only promoting the large at the time...I did not like that we did not have an option but the large did its job. The wait staff was nice and very friendly. The prices were moderate and we really enjoyed it!

Baja Sharkeez is the place to go for good vibes, good food, and even better drinks all for a reasonable price. The staff are kind and respectful, and the place is definitely somewhere you can go to relax or have fun on the dance floor.

It seems like every-time I come here the guy at the bar or serving food always has an attitude, I just feel like the staff needs to be more friendly. Not only that the food was wasn’t all that and the corn was burnt. I’m not sure what the policy is about having pets in the restaurant but having them eating food on top of the bar doesn’t seem sanitary.

Went on a Thursday night. The staff were amazing that day. I have went on other days where the bartenders were quite busy and rude. Nevertheless, this time around I had a wonderful experience. The drinks were great, service was excellent and music was such a vibe! And the wings were delicious!!

Great service. Definitely recommend trying the birria flautas. Clean establishment close to the beach

The night was going well until.......Full disclaimer Ariana was great until it was time to request the bill! Story time: I'm sitting with my Cousin awaiting our bill for about 25 minutes! Before approaching us Ariana grabbed my CADL and approached a black man trying to close his bill along with my debit card and inquired if this was his bill! I respectfully called to both and the gentleman who had been with her through the 2 hours we were there attention. In which at this time the gentleman with her took my CADL and debit card from her and placed into a little folder alphabetized on the counter. When they both approached me I inquired on the proper protocols for cashing out a customers bill! She responded, "Well, I asked him if it was his and he said no!l" I responded by stating not only was that not my question but you could've asked a person with no integrity the same question and it would've resulted in me fighting with my financial institution to prove it wasn't me! How could a well loved establishment lack in such a critical area?! At least this is the understanding explained to me while awaiting my appropriate billing! In the end the gentleman explained it was policy I don't believe this to be true! Due to this I will not return as this experience has truly rubbed me the wrong way! Fraud is the prevalent and can be prevented! It's impertinent employees take responsibility for mishaps as this can save the business, customers, and financial institutions money in this very instances. Good luck Arianna!

First of all, the cheesey biria quesadillas are legit the best I've ever had. Second, the staff and bartender are really great. Friendly and helpful always. Shout out to their Wednesday morning bartender Steven in Manhattan Beach location - a nice dude who didn't bat an eyelash when we accidentally spilled drinks all over the table.

Giving it two stars because it's good food and good drinks for not expensive. Also only giving it two stars because of their dress code, that seemed highly motivated. The staff handled the dress code violation as best they could but I was told their management is constantly watching cameras to make sure they do. The management needs to reevaluate their dress code, how they treat people and move forward in a positive direction. If that changes, I'd happily add more stars.

The restaurant wasn't crowded and only had two people working. We went on a Wednesday. The restaurant was colorful with a cool ambiance of high tables, a circular bar and booths. We ordered our food and then the waiter took his break when we wanted to put in our order for our drinks. The waiter noticed that the other server was busy and came back over to get help us. The drinks were just okay but the margarita was very sweet. The food was good and our appetizer was served with our main dish. Make sure to tell them you want your appetizer first. Find street parking, because it's easier than being questioned from a valley attendant who wanted to see our receipt.

Fun vibes and good drinks walking distance to the beach! Parking is a pain in this area but your best bet is street parking on Rosecrans. They have lots of TVs playing sports and brunch on weekends. The drinks are fun and delicious. The food is very average-- it's a good spot for drinks and appetizers while watching a game or before heading to the beach.

The general manager responded and seemed genuinely concerned about our issues. I feel like this may have been a rare incident at this place and feel our issues will be addressed. Hope to maybe try this place in the future.

On the evening of Wednesday, March 5th, my friends and I headed to our favorite bar, Baja Sharkeyz in Manhattan Beach, for happy hour. I was carded when ordering my drinks, which is standard, but my African American friend was also carded while my Hispanic friend was not. We chuckled about it, thinking it might be because we looked younger. Still, if one person is carded, it seems only fair that everyone should be. I took advantage of the buy-one-get-one-for-25-cents deal on Cadillac margaritas. After sitting down for just a couple of minutes, I accidentally spilled one of my drinks that I hadn't even tasted yet. I managed to clean up some of the mess on my seat, but couldn't handle what fell on the floor. When I informed the bartender about it, he simply said, "Ha, I've heard that before," and walked away, leaving the spill unattended. Though I admit it was my fault for spilling, it would have been nice for him to offer a replacement, suggest I buy another, or clean the mess beside us. The bar wasn't busy, with only around nine customers inside, yet he continued to ignore the mess while cleaning other tables. I eventually had to ask another staff member to take care of it. I don't think I deserved a free drink, and I fully own my mistake. However, I was quite disappointed, as this is usually one of my favorite bars where the bartenders are friendly and accommodating.

Parking is on the side of the establishment or directly across the street . I usually park across the street so much easier and hassle free. I was invited for my cousins birthday party and let me tell you this place delivered from the food to the drinks to the music they played on the dance floor . I had a disagreement with the bartender but management quickly resolved it and made things right I can definitely appreciate that . The music was playing and the dj had everyone on the dance floor will definitely be going back

Great football game atmosphere, free help yourself chips n salsa bar located near handicap entrance, breakfast specials w bottomless mimosas. Nice bartenders and waiters, pretty good customer service. Gets busy on weekend mornings arrive early for better parking and no wait on seating.

The food was great...especially the wings! After having some drinks, the wings hit the spot! The service was on point! It might take a while for the bar tenders to get to u, but they do! My sis and I went there for the 1st time for a party, and it was pretty cool. We were not expecting a DJ to be there. Although, I have to say that the DJ kept on repeating the songs and never put the song I requested. Women's bathrooms were kept clean! Overall the experience was great!

If you come here for anything aside from the breakfast special, you're probably 21, killing time before your drive home from work, or trying to recapture your youth. Sharkeez has great service, great deals and good food. They have ridiculous happy hour specials. If you come at night it's a whole other story, but that's on the clientele and not the staff. The rise and shine special is a blessing.

What an awesome restaurant for food, drinks and chilling. There was a large group of us and BAJA SHARKEEZ very easily accommodated us. There was no line to enter, no line to get seated, and no wait before the server comes over to ask us for our drinks. Our server, by the way, was friendly, helpful and accurate. You grab your own complementary chips and salsa at one end of the dining area. And just because they were free didn't mean they weren't good, either. My CRAZY CORN was sooooo good. Cheesy and spicy! So many TVs around and they were playing ALL the sports.

Ngl the food is great. Vibe is super fun & talkative! Service is attentive and very nice .

Shawn was the most gracious server by far he was attentive courteous patient and helpful. Will return to be serviced by him!

1. Great ambience 2. Great service 3. Fun staff 4. Great drinks 5. Delicious food Party of 12, and we hab an awesome time. Our bartender Steve was in it...fast, friendly and kept our party going.

A group of my friends came to watch the soccer game and our bartenders Bree & Alex are being very helpful & kind - even while it's busy. And the food is really delicious.

Had a huge group come here the other night and John and Matt set the whole thing up for me and made it easy. They took care of our party and made our experience here that much better. Huge thank you to both Matt and John for making our night here unforgettable. One thing about this location is that they ALWAYS have good music playing and the bartenders are always so attentive. Since we had such a huge party come Matt and John set an area up for us and even sent us out some food which was so awesome! Food was great, drinks were amazing, and the vibes were unmatched.

I've been here a total of 2 times. The vibe is nice, it's by the beach. So you really can't complain. My friends and I always have a good time. The bartenders were extremely nice. I give it 4 stars because although the chicken taquitos look amazing... the taste was sub par. I will come back and try something else on the menu :-)

Loved it staff is friendly welcoming the place was clean food was outstanding! Highly recommended!

Amanda and Jose went above and beyond the call of duty! They're already the quintessence of a great experience, but tonight was especially fantastic! Not only did they empathetically manage a challenged customer, they made us all in the bar feel right at home!!

I enjoyed my time at Baja Sharkeez Manhattan Beach CA. The food is very good, the service is good, but needs improvement, and the ambiance we'll let's say you can never go wrong along the beach. The restaurant is really nice and well kept. Thanks Sharkeez!!!

Great atmosphere , friendly staff ,!especially for tourists and prices. Food is poppin to !!

Baja Sharkeez is always a go to when it comes to birthdays and celebrations. From the Jell-O shots, to the mixed cocktails and the price friendly menu, I'd definitely recommend going to Baja Sharkeez. I've been to a handful of these locations and one of my favorite experiences was when they had a promo, but a shot and get a hat! Still have my hat and wear it regularly! Shoutout to the service staff as well for being able to maintain the crowd as things do get pretty hectic at night

This is the spot! Dane was an amazing bartender, with great recommendations. Music and vibes were top notch.

"Casual with Room for Improvement" My first visit here had some "hiccups" but I think I could give it another chance. Quality of Service: We waited for a greeter at the entrance but ended up walking in ourselves. Once inside, we were quickly briefed on how things work since it was our first time. The ordering process at the bar was straightforward. For a sit down meal, if you're used to your drinks being brought to you, having to get up and grab them yourself from the bar like we had to, might fell a bit inconvenient. Quality of Food: The food arrived in a reasonable time, but the flavor and presentation were lacking. For the price, sampling the chicken enchilada, shredded beef enchilada, taco, beans, and rice was average--about a 3/5. Drink Quality: We tried the "Slamgria," which was okay, though my partner enjoyed the taste. I noticed generous liquor pours for other drinks, which is a plus. Cleanliness: The place was clean. Ambiance: The ambiance varied depending on where you sat. There were plenty of TVs showing sports and fights, and you could enjoy a cool beach breeze by the windows or opt for the darker, more colorful atmosphere further back. It looks like they have a DJ booth and a nightlife scene, as they were setting up as the sun was going down. Convenience: Self-seating and ordering at the bar were easy enough, but each time a plate was going out, the server did not know which table to deliver to. Parking could be a challenge but if you have to park at a distance, it's a nice walk in.

We stopped in yesterday, which was a Monday after a walk at the beach with our family that was here from out of town. We ordered 2 beers, a pina colada, a mai Thai and chicken taquitos. Service was slow, but we weren't in any rush. She brought the two beers 1st then 5 mins later sat the Mai Thai and pina colado down. The Mai Thai was translucent (no orange juice, pineapple juice or grenadine to speak of) and it did not taste like a Mai Thai at all. The pina colada was served with a mound of whip cream and a paper straw. There was no way to drink this as the contents were not blended enough to come through the straw and impossible to sip from the side without wearing the mound of whip. We sent them both back after almost having to tackle our waitress (she passed us 3 times while we politely said "excuse me") and replaced them with beers. The taquitos were good. Two of us walked out with bites on our ankles and lower legs, mine are still red and sore today.

I came in around 11:20am on a weekday and was the only customer here, but my food still took so long to come out that by the time it did (11:45), I had to get it to go. I ordered two tacos!! Ridiculous. So I got to eat two soggy fish tacos at home. The two men on the floor stood hunched over at the bar talking the whole time. Never checked on me or my food.

Alright, let's get into it. I searched long and hard to find this Sharkeez location on Yelp to write a review. Prior to our choice of restaurant and vibe we were looking for, we walked the block and looked around for other restaurants which we thought was going to be great visiting from Nashville. I'm always in California roaming around and as my first time at Manhattan Beach area. Food was mediocre but their plating was great and their drinks were good enough to order more. Service was terrible after the 10 mins. The bartender (female, tall with semi brownish long haired) her attitude was terrible. When we walked in she greeted us telling us to order our food/drinks at the bar when ready. Later in the evening we ordered more drinks (as I'm watching her make our drinks) it sits there for a good 2 mins then the same bartender mentioned, yelled from the bar to our table telling us our drinks been done for 10 mins (it was NEVER mentioned to us that we had to pick up our drink orders at the bar). We also told her we were missing 1/3 the drinks prepared. With an attitude and addressing my friend talking to him like he was a child saying you only ask for 2 drinks with 2 finger up (flabbergasted) never in my life seen this type of service. They had so many people in there working that could've dropped off our drinks to us. And throughout the evening as I'm watching other peoples order their drinks with the same bartender they gotten the same nasty wench attitude as well that was shown to us. There music selection was great, I gave them that and then later on they had a DJ coming in at 11pm. I'm sure the regulars that goes there often, service will be different than what we had experience. As a Sharkeez chain I'm disappointed.

The patty on Hawaiian burger stood out to me. It was cooked medium well, juicy and big. What I mean is they put a good size patty on the burger, which is great for those meat lovers like myself. I dipped my fries in their beans with cheese and that was awesome as well. Overall, it's a Sharkeez. You are going to get good food.

I yearn for sharkeez. Reminiscing about our time here has me holding my breath with siviantilarity. She galavanted toward service perfection and made our experience like a wonderland. As we were snarfing our pig mouths with our meals & she was fast and furious with the unlimited mimosa refills. It was the best! Hailey is so cool!

This place deserves a 0. I got here rather late on a Friday night, and they let me in. The bar was closed and the lady at the bar completely avoided me. She could've just told me that the bar is closed, and that's cool. They definitely need to train their staff better and even the guys at the door could've mentioned that the bar is now closed. When she avoided me, I left. But it's simply extremely poor customer service, just tell your customers if you can serve them or not.

Background: I have been a devoted patron of the Hermosa Beach location, but, the quality of my favorite dish (steak fajitas) dropped like a rock because they changed their kitchen; the beef was horrible (had tendons). Fortunately, I gave the Manhattan Beach location a chance for redemption and it hit a home run THANKS to Alex who was running the Friday morning shift. He listened to my Hermosa Beach complaint and he tried to ensure that my next Steak Fajita dish would be great and it was the BEST!!

My first time back since the remodel and it looks really nice! It has new seating and flooring. The place is super clean! They even created a nice outdoor curbside dinning with led lights cushions and plants! I'm not one to eat curbside but they really did a good job! We got shrimp & carne asada street tacos and they were so good! We ordered a side of rice but it didn't seem like their normal rice with the lime/cilantro so it kinda felt like that was a waste. I ordered a passionfruit Paloma which was surprisingly really tasty and refreshing. I was skeptical on ordering it because for some reason it's hard to get a decent Paloma places but kudos to the bartender!

This is my go to neighborhood bar. The staff is super nice, the drinks and food are good and priced reasonably. The vibe is beach immaculate. I go to their Tuesday trivia nights and fully take advantage of their taco Tuesdays taco and marg deals. Their grilled fish taco is probably the best one I've tasted.

I've been eating at the Hermosa location and love the ambiance, food, the whole package. It's a bit pricey for what it is but you pay for being there. We went to the MB location yesterday and the service was ok, wait staff is really nice to locals but a bit indifferent to out-of-towners. Ok, it is what it is. Moving on. The skinny margaritas were great and it was empty so we had the place to ourselves. Overall 5 stars for margaritas, deduct one star for ok service and one star for average food. I would add half a star for having fish tacos but they didn't blow me away so... average. In a town where there are so many great choices, this one did not stand out to me, so..... total 3 stars unless you can change my mind.

The food here is amazing And love the bar setup , very open and spacious , however the company needs to retrain the bartender Steve about being nicer to his colleagues, he was being a bully infront of me and my girls , yelling at the bartenders to be faster and trying to embarrass them. Not a good look as an older male bartender surrounded by female bartenders.

They have the best french fries Service is ok. We were outside and it was Dec 25 so wasn't busy. The beer is so huge that one is totally enough

Just celebrated my birthday there and had such a blast! Matt made sure everything was set and ready for my gathering! Jose made sure we were all having a great time! The food was delicious and the Mexican candy shots are a must! The DJ had us dancing all night!!! Definitely will be back!

I love this place!! Best drinks and the food is delicious. Matt and Jose are the best, I always have a great time here with friends and family :) the wings are my favorite and trivia night on Tuesdays is super fun!!

Listen. This is a sports bar no doubt. But I think the menu is pretty good and huge, the TVs are great, and the bartenders work their butts off. Special shout out to Erica who is always nonstop working hard, and Amanda for telling me about the Super Bowl specials. It's a fun place that is great to watch sport at, and has a really good happy hour. The potato taquitos are really delicious, and their happy hour items are normal size to keep that in mind.

Perfect spot for an after-work dinner. It has the elements of a bar but it's much quieter than the Hermosa Beach location creating a fun and comfortable atmosphere where you can actually hear the person across the table talking to you. Fish tacos are a must on Taco Tuesdays and a bucket of Jell-O shots is the perfect way to start Happy Hour.

We visited this location after visiting the beach. We came in around 6:30pm and the Place was not crowded and I loved it! We had to order and pay at the bar. We ordered the Shark attack, margarita, birria burrito, chicken taquitos, and mixed fajitas that came with shrimp, steak and chicken. We couldn't order the famous 84 oz bucket because we needed 4 IDs for that and it was only two of us. The birria burrito was great and flavorful, taquitos were big and full and the cilantro rice was good but I prefer a little more lime and cilantro. The drinks were strong and good. Tbh my order was great and I will return to order the same items again. If you haven't already, on your next Manhattan Beach visit, stop by Baja Sharkeez and enjoy some Tex Mex deliciousness. Thanks Baja Sharkeez!

I was here with my family, and we felt so unwelcome here from the staff. They weren't informative at all and just felt like they didn't even wanna take my order in. The girl with red hair kept giving an attitude for no reason, and the blonde hair guy, I don't even know why he is a waiter or whatever because he honestly didn't do anything to help me or clear out my table when it was full of empty plates. None of these staff cared to listen what I had to say or when i asked anything about my order. But the food was absolutely amazing!!!

Jay made us feel very welcomed. His service was amazing & the food was great. I recommend coming here 10/10. The bar is so ambient!

horrible literally so bad. i'm 22 yet because i didn't have my credit card on me they wouldn't let me in. need people who have a brain to check ids not newbies who are scared of losing their job cause someone looks young. embarrassing

Matt from Sharkeez promotions helped me reserve 2 tables this Friday night last minute to celebrate my sisters' birthday. We were greeted by a host upon arrival which informed us with the drink specials they had. She also checked on us periodically to see if we needed anything. They provided is complimentary taco platter. Food was fresh and really good. Music was great and a mixture of everything so everyone could enjoy. I definitely recommend visiting this place or celebrating someones birthday.

Let me preface this review by saying I would much rather be at Baja's right now!! Aside from that, how does this place attract people who like quality food and service? It is a really bad Mexican restaurant in beautiful Manhattan Beach. The service is super slow and the food is barely average however they are super busy on Sunday for brunch. The Bloody Mary bar is picked over by 11 am and they don't even make their own Bloody Mary mix!! :( You have to order at the bar and it's a long wait for the food to arrive. We had chicken fajitas that needed salt. They need to hire a manager!!
