Sharky's Woodfired Mexican Grill

I don't mind paying money for food but if you charge me $11.25 for a burrito and give me 3/4 rice that's no bueno. Hardly any chicken at all.

This is one of those times that I wish I could give 3 1/2 stars. My recent experience doesn't deserve a full four stars, but I feel that three is a bit harsh. However, I hold Sharkey's up to a high standard and this location on this visit fell short.

Let's start with the ordering process. Our counter helper was friendly enough, but my wife wanted to order a NuMex salad and tortilla soup. As she was placing her order, I reminded her that they have a soup and salad combo that includes a NuMex salad. The picture on their website looked like the perfect amount of food for her. However the counter helper informed us that the salad offered with the soup and salad combo was a side salad with a vinaigrette dressing. Well, if that is the case, it certainly is not what is presented on their website. The web clearly states that the combo is a NuMex salad with tortilla soup. So, my wife ordered a separate salad and soup, which was more food than she needed. On the positive side, she said the salad was delicious.

I can't say the same about the rest of our food. I am a big Sharkey's fan. We now live in a state without Sharkey's, so whenever we are in California visiting family, I always make it a point to visit Sharkey's, usually the Palmdale or Burbank locations. On this visit, I had already been to the Palmdale location three times in a week, so the visit to the Santa Clarita location was my fourth visit. After ordering our food, we waited for 20 minutes for our buzzer to inform us that our food was ready. We finally decided to walk to the pickup station and check on it, and it was ready, all right, just sitting on a cart. We took the food to our table and immediately realized that the food was cold. If it was hot, as it should have been, it would have been excellent. Cold food is never good. Beyond that, the guacamole was not up to their standards. It was watery and stringy, obviously made from sub-par fruit. Fine, but I would rather be told "the guacamole is not quite our best" when ordering and save my money than to get a product that is less than the quality it should be.

If this were a Taco Bell that I was visiting, I would expect a less than stellar experience. But this is Sharkey's, and the previous experiences at other locations this week were all on point and excellent. Sad to say, I could not, based on this visit, recommend this location. And it's too bad, because the experience could easily have earned five stars!

Always love the burritos here! I think they’re much better than Chipotle. The employees were friendly and helpful too.

I've tried Sharkys a few times in recent months and been disappointed each time. The flavor just doesn't do much. It feels like Mexican food on mute. If you've lived in SoCal and had authentic Mexican flavors, you'll know instantly that this isn't it. Can't even call it Baja. It's okay, but not sure I'll be back, especially at the prices they charge.

We come here every sunday after work. And nearly every sunday something is wrong with our order. I usually don't even say anything because we live far away and it's on the drive home but I'm fed up. Why am I paying nearly 6 bucks for a "large" chips and salsa when all we get (meal for 2 people mind you) is a huge salsa with a bag of chips smaller than my hand? The actual heck? These people are actually scamming you if you order extra chips. We got less chips than usually comes with the 2 meals normally without the extra cost. Won't be coming here again. We'll find another sharkys or say forget the franchise altogether. This economy is too bad for this. Ridiculous..

Used to be really great. Now they’ve absurdly ramped up the prices while the food has gotten worse. Last few times I’ve been here, the chips have all been very

This place is always clean, I love that it’s one of the few places in Santa Clarita that still keeps their salsa bar. The employees here are always very friendly and nice from the cashier all the way till you pick up your food. The food always taste fresh. I have a three-year-old and six-year-old little picky eaters and they always love the salmon and chicken here. These are all plates with one side. The one with the salmon doesn’t have any salmon because it was that good that my little six-year-old ate it and two bites.
