    Arrachera tacos (360 pesos?)
    Michael W.

    If you're in the Cerritos Beach area, this should be your go-to for cold beers and delicious tacos. The owner is super cool and the vibe is chill. I went here a few times over the course of a week. Visit in the evenings when the fire pit is lit and there's not a better spot to enjoy a beer and close out your day. Added bonus: the arrachera tacos are the best I've ever had!

    We love Brandon and his unique twist on a Baja bar. The expat crowd there is the majority. Tons of food options that you won't find down that way. Brandon guarantees he has the best chicken fried steak south of TX.... They even have a dog menu as four legged friends are very common. Guns Up, Red Raiders!!!!

    What a spot!!!

    From the moment we walked in to this spot, we felt the vibe Brando and Kevin have created. You instantly feel like a regular. The reason I love to travel is a place like Shaka's! Small menu and great service. Simple. I had heard it was the best burger in these parts, so burger I went. Heaven. Perfectly cooked, great fries and topped with everything. Had wine, margarita next time... is tonight too soon? I saw imperial shrimp walk by and that looked amazing. I love great service and this was that and more. Just and epic night, thanks guys!!!

    Yep. All mine!

    This is a fun place and when you need a burger this is the place to go. We get homesick sometimes and this will bridge the gap. Owned by a Texan. Got games on Tv and a great bar. Lots of outside seating. Dog friendly - even a dog meal on menu.

    Best nachos ever!!
    Cheryl M.

    Definitely my favorite spot in Cerritos Beach! The vibe here is spot on. Relaxed and friendly, and the owners and staff make you feel like a local. The food is the star of the show. A smallish menu but everything on it is spectacular and hits the spot after a long day at the beach or a stroll around Todos Santos. While I'm town we were also able to enjoy live music at night and yoga classes during the day. Shaka's is a Cerritos gem for sure!

    We came to Shakas at the suggestion of our landlords. The atmosphere is welcoming and "beachy" which I liked. The owner Brando was extremely friendly and helpful. He made us feel like regulars. The drinks were good and the food was fine. We ordered the quesadilla and pad Thai.

    Chicken tortilla soup, & a burrito

    The food was average, but it was a happening scene for the slow season. Live music which is always fun- it was NOT good music, but live music none the less. Muchos Gringos, lol... but all very nice and inviting. Happy hour drinks and a casual beach setting make it worth a stop. Definitely worth it during The summer months when other places in Cerritos Beach are pretty dead.

Drive carefully and use a navigation app because the roads off the highway are not well signed or lit. It's totally safe. I know what you're thinking...who needs a farm to table restaurant? Hierbabuena is so much more than a concept. Everything is crafted with the freshest and locally grown produce. If you're looking for cheap eats, there's a lot of options. If you need something special and aimed at great ingredients, this is the spot. Service is kind, knowledgeable, and prepared to give you recommendations. You're tucked away in a garden oasis, with incredible nourishment. There are many flowers, birds, and a great playlist. The meal started with a gratis tiny cup of tasty butternut squash soup. I requested a chicory salad because when is chicory a menu star? It's no surprise that this salad was good. The leaves were dotted with tangy goat cheese and gems of pomegranate seeds. Chicory was the star. I had the fish tacos, three dressed in adobo seasoning, a recommendation over the grilled sea bass special. The plate had three small spoons filled with guac, salsa verde, and the most incredible salsa macha. The salsa macha had notes of chocolate that paired well with the adobo seasoned fish. Don't miss this! The chile relleno was filled with quinoa and veggies, plated on top of two sauces. The flavors were really tasty and I appreciated the thoughtful vegetarian option that highlighted seasonal flavors. I walked in knowing I wanted cheesecake for dessert but then learned a favorite was their flan. I switched with no regrets. This flan was better and nothing like anything I've had before. If you like flan and love coconut, this is for you. The cocktails were so good. The martini was different, I loved this passion fruit margarita, the watermelon juice with tequila was refreshing, and they had great local beer options. I was very happy with this lovely meal. Service was wonderful. Please tip your servers; cash is preferred. They work hard and make all the efforts for a memorable meal.

I was concerned that this restaurant would be hot and uncomfortable since it is outdoors but I was so pleasantly surprised. You enter through a beautiful garden (likely where they grow some of the foods they use for the menu) shaded by a large tree. The tables are covered and there are fans going. I didn't notice the heat at all. The kitchen is open so you can watch Chef and his crew whipping up your meal. The food was delicious. We ordered two salads, steaks, fish tacos, enchiladas, guacamole and flan. We were blown away by the vibrant flavors of the green salsa and the beautiful combination of flavors in the salads. Perhaps my favorite thing was the chips wi the guac and green salsa! I tried two cocktails (Jamaica and passion mezcal) and my husband loved his margarita. It was a special family dinner making memories , just what I hoped for. Please visit this special place and support the team!
