Def a place for a fun time. The food is pretty decent. The location is perfect for people watching. It's a good place for brunch. Service is good as well! read more

Visiting from Houston and popped in on a Friday night - Bartender/manager met us immediately for seating. Order came out quickly. Atmosphere was energetic. Bonus - they offer up self serve chips / salsa bar. Definitely recommend the fish or chicken tacos. Plus taquitos were cooked just right. read more

The service here is pretty good. The guy behind the bar was cool. He didn't charge my soft drink. My quesadilla was decent. Tad bit too much frying oil on the tortilla. It definitely leaves a weird aftertaste. Decent amount of chicken and cheese. It's only about $11.01 for that Happy Hour Chicken Quesadilla. Bathrooms are clean. My half Coca-Cola/Diet was good. Plenty of TV's. Overall, I had better Mexican food, but for the price, and service, it was decent. read more

I stopped by Sharkeez Manhattan Beach tonight for the first time, and wow -- what a disappointment. The door guy, Tyler, decided to make a whole production out of the fact that I had my own EMPTY Costco cups and plastic straws with me. I wasn't trying to sneak in anything or cause trouble -- I just prefer to reuse my own cups and avoid the soggy paper straws that beach bars love to hand out now. Instead of a normal interaction, he turned it into a pissing contest, acting like it was a federal offense. To make it worse, they also ask to search your bag at the door. In my book, that's egregious for a beach bar. I'm not walking into a nightclub in Vegas -- it's Sharkeez. This used to be the casual South Bay hangout spot, not a TSA checkpoint with beer on tap. I used to go to the Hermosa Beach Sharkeez constantly -- probably hundreds of times over the years -- but eventually stopped because the energy there had already started to shift in the same way. Unfriendly, tense, and somehow convinced they're doing you a favor by letting you in. Something's really off with Sharkeez across the South Bay. Also I'd like to give the manager Adrian his props because he saw this interaction going south and did a fantastic job of helping afterward. I still opted to leave because I know better than to stay when the initial two interactions go south. He deserves five stars in my book but the South Bay Sharkeez have to change for sure. I walked a block away to fish bar and enjoyed my meal, my drink, and my own damn cups in peace. At this point, the vibe that made Sharkeez great is long gone -- replaced by power-tripping door staff and unnecessary rules that kill the fun. read more

Service is a little slow here and if you're in the seating area you need to get up to order your drinks at the bar. Wouldn't be such a bad thing to do if there was more than two bar tenders working that way the service would be faster. read more

Bottomless mimosas and breakfast for $10 is a screaming deal! Bacon was thick and crispy, and the french toast hit the spot. The vibe is so relaxed and fun, and our server, Missy, was so on point with keeping the champagne flowing. I can't wait to go back! read more

We have been coming here for 17 years and have never had a bad time. EXCEPT this time during the first monday night football game we were treated exceptionally!!! Food was phenomenal & the atmosphere was hype. You get a scratcher for food orders during football! If youre in the area make sure you stop by Baja Sharkeez & hopefully Brenden is your bartender!!! read more

Street parking meter 2 hours until 6pm and 3 hours from 6-9pm Mon-Fri so I had to leave to refill the parking meter. Happy hour is a great value! Buy one drink, get the 2nd for 25 cents, but it is served at the same time. Happy hour food specials saves a few dollars too. Service from the bar girl was not at all a good customer experience at 4pm before the college football national championship. Eventually, I had to clean the bar I asked to be wiped off. Ambiance is a-ok. Seat itself could be a bit more comfortable but overall I was happy with the ambiance. Food was not so good. The wings are meaty and good but the garlic habanero is a little bit spicy but I expected that. The chips and guacamole were a-ok and if you want more chips just ask - I just pushed the tomatoes to the side. The chicken bites can be ordered with a side of bbq sauce and they tasted frozen so surprisingly the safest item I ordered was my least favorite. The alcohol, soda, and water was fine but it did take ten minutes to get water to help with the spicy wings and I was at a bar with like 5 of 18 seats filled before the game with one server. When the game started there were three servers and the bar was full. I like this location better than the Hermosa Beach location but I may have to order a burger or fajitas to have a better food experience. read more

This was my first time here. I came to this place tonight because my coworkers wanted to go listen to some Latin music. I was in line waiting to get in when one of the older bouncers possibly in his 40s did not let me walk in because I had a chain on. He did not even allow me to put it in my pocket. We agreed to put it in my girl coworker's purse and I was let in with bad attitude. Once heading out about 1 hour later, a group of 5 frat looking guys were trying to walk in and that same older bouncer was going to allow them in (with a chain on). My friends and I questioned why he would allow them in but did not let me earlier that night. He followed by being rude and disrespectful. Funny enough the guys had fake IDs and he couldn't even let them in to begin with. The point of this review is to voice that clearly this place does not see everyone equally and these weird bouncers feel entitled to do and say as they desire. I would not recommend. You should go out to have a good time safely, not be judged and disrespected by weird bouncers. read more

9/27/2925 I came here and decided to treat myself to something new. I was not disappointed and had a great experience. I wish I knew my server name but he had short blonde hair, blue eyes and a great smile. He made me feel welcome and attentive to my needs. I order some tacos and the taquitos. Very Yummy with lots of flavor. read more

Amanda is the best! Love her she makes this place fun and makes amazing skinny margs!

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! read more

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. read more

Went here today ... went to grab chips and salsa ... there were LIVE ROACHES crawling around on the salsa bar where the uncovered salsa is !!!!! Staff noticed the roaches several later and did not replace the uncovered salsa that was out nor did they shut down the salsa / chips area. They just wiped down the counter with water. Other patrons were eating the salsa unaware of the roaches ! Never going to eat here again !!! Plus the one in Newport Beach is better !!!! read more

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. read more

I will never come to this establishment again . The bartenders are very rude and arrogant i ordered a strawberry margarita and it was very watered down and it didn't taste like a margarita ive been coming to sharkeez since I was 21 and I live in the neighborhood this wa by far the worst experience ever . When I took my drink back to tell them it taste bad they blew me off and was very rude mind you its my 25th birthday the bartenders were so rude to me they barely acknowledge me I felt so hurt because I am a regular there. read more

The food is good and some staff are nice, but it's one every time we come in who is very rude. He does know how to talk to people.

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

We had a fantastic time tonight, great atmosphere and vibe. Randal was super sweet and we're definitely coming back!

Went in on a Saturday afternoon - today - with my wife and sat down. Place was pretty empty. Waited and waited... Two bartenders would not make eye contact. Not a word was said. We left. Too bad. We wanted to eat there. Not given the chance! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Happy hour every weekday is amazing both food and drinks. Also. Tuesday trivia is a blast!

"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. read more
