“ The best live music venue in the Cerritos area. Large Cantina with seating inside and out. This is the place to be. ”
“ Ended up being one of our favorite local spots. We came here on a Thursday evening and caught the tail end of happy hour at 6 and we ended up staying til close at 12. The food was all delicious, I would recommend the chicken tortilla soup. What really got us was the incredibly friendly staff and owners. The group of owners and staff members and infectiously friendly and we ended up becoming great friends with them over our many hours here. Such a fun spot! They also do live music on the weekends and this is definitely the place to come for your lively local bar. ”
“ Super friendly staff and people! And the food is delicious! Everything I've ordered has been cooked to perfection. ”

“ 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 at Shaka’s! ”
