Shaka's Delicious Wood Cantina y Galeria — Restaurant in Baja California Sur

This eclectic, fun spot was our introduction to Cerritos Beach and when I say it did not disappoint, I mean before we even finished our meal we were making plans to return!

There are both sunny and shady areas to sit, we chose the shady area and passed the coolest sunken bar on our way to a table next to a stage. There was no live music when we were there but apparently they have music often.

The servers were very attentive, very knowledgeable and treated us like family from the moment we arrived.

The food!!! Ahhh, the food! I had the Baja Fish taco, beer battered, on a corn tortilla and a California taco. I cannot say enough about the glorious experience eating this food was, I will remember it always, AMAZING!! The fish was yellow fish, a flaky white fish, lightly bettered and served in a fresh corn tortilla. The red cabbage salad and guacamole that is served with it were the perfect accompaniments to this symphony of flavors! I loved every bite! The Claiborne taco was flash fried avocado with the same red cabbage salad on a fresh corn tortilla and was very light and refreshing! Delicious!

The margarita = perfection! The right balance of sweet and salty, just the right size and beautiful garnishes.

Price was fair, as a family of 4 we ended up spending approximately $90 USD we all had our own full meal and 3 of the 4 had alcohol.

If you find us back in Cerritos Beach, you’ll find us back...

Very friendly staff and the huge palapa design is fabulous. They are Covid conscious and take temperature at the door and tables are well spaced. The alcohol menu was extensive with many choices, but not so much for the food. We both got the burger with hand cut fries but it didn't live up to what other reviews said. It was dry and not that tasty, which was disappointing. Maybe we got the chef on an off day. We've had other burgers in Pescadero and Todos Santos that were juicy and absolutely delicious. Also the prices for the quality of the food are on the high side. US$10 more than what we'd pay for a similar order in Pescadero. Haven't been to Shaka's yet for the live music but have heard it's great. Well behaved leashed dogs ok. They also got our 3 fur kids a water bowl. Fyi, they have their own dogs there that wander anout and like to say hi to all the guests. They're very friendly with lots of tail wags! Please leave a Like if you found...

My husband and I traveled to Los Cerritos from Florida a few years ago and enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks and service. We went back to Los Cerritos this past February and hit Shaka's back up. The bartender remembered us and we all had a laugh. After a few rounds, he started pouring expensive drinks for us that we hadn't ordered. When he put them in front of us, we politely declined..several times. He persisted enough that we became super uncomfortable and we continued to push the drinks/shots back to him, refusing to drink or pay for them. This wasn't a language barrier. He spoke and understood English. We finally got out of there, after he tried several times to charge us for all the drinks that we did not drink and pushed back at him. We left cash for what we did order and gtfo of there. We will be back to Los Cerritos but not Shaka's. There are several reputable places in the area that are awesome! Just stay away from Shaka's....
