Baja Sharkeez Santa Barbara Reviews
Great spot in Santa Barbara with a fun holiday vibe 🎄 The tacos were huge — two tacos and I was totally full. The fish taco was a little spicy for my taste, but still really good. They have Taco Tuesday with tacos for $5, which is such a great deal. The margarita wasn’t my favorite, but the Christmas atmosphere made the whole experience really cozy and fun.
Great outdoor dining perfect for people watching. Enchiladas were picante. Spicy 🥵
We stopped in for lunch even though I was concerned about the 3.9 rating. Ordered a 21 ounce frozen raspberry margarita for $13 and Maui burger sliders. Everything was excellent! Great service too. Reasonable prices!
A cool place on State Street in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara.
Fun decore, surprisingly great food and the best happy hour in town. The service is great and it's the best place in town for watching a game.
Best tacos I have had in a long time. Best food in town!
Excellent food, great drinks, and cool atmosphere!

The vibes at this place was awesome. On 1 side u order food but both side u can order drinks. They had a live dj on saturday afternoon. He was awesome!!!!
Food incredible. Atmosphere off the hook especially if you like socialism and sports. But the service was top tier. I placed my order at the bar 1 taco 2 enchiladas but we recived one less enchilada. We weren't charged for the second but the waitress brought us a full new plate for free, 1 taco 2 enchiladas. That was classy. Left a second tip for that. Prices were way reasonable and came with unlimited seasoned tortilla chips and salsa.
Came here for a late dinner since we were staying nearby. The food is very good. We had a couple of taco plates (with grilled fish). The service was nice and super friendly. It was not busy at all, and we sat immediately.
Attentive staff. Great food. Good drinks.

Went to Sharkeez for lunch, the bartender made some great drinks and was polite and attentive. The Maui sliders are great, but i highly recommend the cheesy birria tacos 🤌! Theres nothing like em!
The food was really good. However, the drinks were not quite as good. Crowded. It seems to be a popular place.
Came during happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by the double margaritas! Quesadilla was YUMMY!

Kinda like a sports bar. You order from the bar so service not really applicable. The best part was the happy hours. 4pm-8pm. Food was good though.
Bar tender was great. Ordered the El Macho White Margarita and a Beef Burrito. Burrito was good. Margarita was a mix and too sweet. 3 stars as the place was a gross disaster. Probably due to Fiesta, but the staff standing at the check in booth can be sweeping or cleaning tables. 1 girl just stood there and a young man employee just flirted with a girl who was not an employee. They would tell people to grab menus and go order at the bar, but they could have been cleaning in their down time. Bar smelled of dirty old stale beer, floors covered in debris and filth, tables dirty and sticky.
Great TVs for sports, lacking on the service side but hey it’s a bar.
Definitely a bar first, food second type of place. We came in today, and there's no servers. You order the food at the bar, and they bring it to you. Chicken fajita was decent. Tri-tip was a overcooked. And I also have a beef with the plastic forks. Lol. Especially when you're eating off a sizzling plate.

Customer service is why I rated 2 stars. First, server took about 20 minutes to get to us; she never brought our appetizer after we ordered but served it to everyone else seated after us. Then, they served drinks/water first to guests that were seated after us as well. Lastly, some items we ordered came out wrong even after waiting a while for our food. Place was not busy at all at time of visit. We spent something just over $100 worth of food & I did not feel valued as a customer. BUT food & quality is good, decently priced. You're better off ordering it for delivery! Wish we would've picked a different spot for lunch especially since it was our last day vacationing in Santa Barbara.

Dude pet a dog that was held up above the bar and THEN handled my food. I almost want to vomit.i can't even eat my food, I didn't cause a scene I just left. It's so unsanitary. Ordered at 605ish picked up maybe 615ish. French bull dog is cute but not where my food should be.
Myself and my significant other got drugged here by someone let into the bar. I told staff and no one cared, ended up having to be carried out and later taken to the hospital. Horrible security, staff, and the countdown to New Years was underwhelming and such a joke. Don’t go here if you like your safety, I am not the first to deal with this.
