Close and just off of Hollywood boulevard. Sharkey's is great. I am always surprised by how wonderful the food is. It's low-key and not terribly crowded but it's terribly friendly and the food is very very good

I ordered a vegetarian burrito and found a piece of beef in it :(I was very disappointed, but restaurants offered me a refund and extra taco for free. I appreciate when people can admit guilt and compensate for unpleasant experiences

Excellent fresh Salmon.Best modern Mexican food anywhere, Cantina beach style in Tinsel Town...some of the new hires lack training...carry cash.

Smelly fishy grilled salmon - sent it back? Took ages too, and I was their 2nd customer at lunch.Veggie taco had quite acidic canned tomato salsa (dark burgundy red), more like italian sauce weirdly, with lime. Makes no sense, and that bitter heavy-ness ruined the entire taco. Veggies were a bit over cooked n wilted so that was a yech taco too.Walked back to counter to exchange fish for chicken and was told I could get the chicken taco at that register but since I originally ordered it on the other register I had to wait in an 8 person line for my refund. Really? Ugh. To be fair, it went faster since both registers took orders.Chicken taco looked interesting and better, and brought my review from 1 to 2 stars. Fresh well cooked (but not thoughtfully spiced).This place reminds me of when I was 25, trying to cook healthy at home in LA. Threw healthy veggies into Mexican or Asian dishes but didn’t know how to tie flavors together, so it tasted disjointed. Did I just eat Mexican or healthy california cuisine? Sharky’s need to throw some cumin or chipotle into the grilled veggies to harmonize with the dishes. And totally revamp that veg taco! That thing needs life.My impression is young guys put this chain together with a solid idea but have obvious issues. It’s popularity must be based on the healthy fresh concept..if only they got it really right. This foodie would be very happy.Left feeling unsatisfied..won’t return, with all the amazing taco shops and great organic restaurants, why?Went to feed my meter across the street and was aghast to see that that lunch - 2 tacos, took 40 minutes!!!?‍♀️

Tried this place out for the first and it was pretty good. The service staff were very friendly and they had a really great menu too. Not to mention the prices were very reasonable too.

Good enough tacos for a quick bite.

Generous portions, tasty food, and the items are ready in the promised time.

Pleasant staff and the food appeared to be of good quality. Ordered one fajita bowl and they were nice enough to make two off menu items, just chicken and rice bowls for two of my picky girls. Parking was available right out front so no complaints. Will definitely be eating here next we’re in the area.

I have been passing by this place for months and heard that their food was pretty good, but I never got the chance to try it for myself until recently. Well, I am here to tell you the food was beyond expectations -- a little pricey, but believe me, it was well worth it. The service was great, and I will definitely be back.

This used to be my favorite spot to eat. I would eat here almost every day before the pandemic. Went there recently and all new staff. Ordered food and I couldn't sit down to eat. Because I didn't show my vaxx card. But it made no sense. People who were in there eating who showed a card were sitting down and seemed ill coughing etc. I just left and went to another location where everyone knows me. Didn't have no issue sitting down eating my food. Didn't get treated like I was some random customer who never eats at Sharkys.I eat at most all of them and know people in corporate. The location I did chose to go eat at said it was up their their discretion to enforce it or not. I will continue to go to the locations I am welcomed. I will never go back to the Hollywood location again. what happened to Santos? He was always cool and treated me like I was welcomed everytime I came in either with my family or music executive friends. This was total discrimination of my disability and my 4th amendment rights. Title III of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination on medical conditions.The old staff and other staff know exactly why I always eat at Sharkys. Was disappointed that I was discriminated and was told I had to eat outside in the cold on the sidewalk were transient are. Yet there were people inside sick coughing and eating. It only takes one time for me not to go back to a business. Since last month and I told many of my friends I eat with there to go to the other location where they did not discriminate on my civil rights and medical condition. Been eating at Sharkys for over 15 years. I always referred people to this pocahontas. No need to respond or ask me to email you guys. I am not looking for free food or compensation. Just to be treated with respect being a long time sharkys customer. I haven't been back to your location since.

Man the sharky chicken salad with mixed greens is a no brainer and I NEVER get tired of it!!!!!

Sarah Elisabeth

Literally no flavor. Definitely not real Mexican food. What a disappointment.

My to-go order was packed with ice cold condiments placed directly on the hot food as if I was eating immediately right in the restaurant! When I opened the container three minutes after picking up everything was obviously cold. Who does that? What a complete waste of my money, my meal, and my time.
