    First of all I would like to say the food is good here. It was my first time trying this restaurant. We decided to give it a try because on their website it states there is a drive thru, however when we went it was closed off with planters and not being utilized. This posed a deterrent for me, however since there was not many people in line we decided to get down and order at the window. While ordering at the window I asked the cashier if the provided salsa in containers and she advised that they did not and pointed to the salsa bar outside. While waiting for our order outside for approximately 20 minutes I observed the following: The salsa bar which is located outside was being utilized by multiple people to serve themselves. A lot of people were handling the spoons as well as the containers and lids. Throughout the time we were there the serving spoons were never disinfected nor wiped, and lid remained open the whole time. (There are no sneeze guards over this salsa bar) They also had a serving tray with bottles of different hot sauces, which people were grabbing and taking to their tables and returning them back to the tray after eating. In the time I spent waiting those too were not wiped down after use. Once our order was complete we passed on the condiments for these reasons. I will not be returning as I feel in my opinion they are not taking the proper precautions during this pandemic by maintaining cleanliness. I also observed that none of the employees were wearing gloves. For these reasons I did not give more stars on my review. If you read my review, please hit the like button. Thank you.

    First of all my wife and I really enjoyed our meal , the fish was very fresh and well presented. The food is pricey however I feel as though that all the fresh fish is sushi-grade and you pay for that

    This resturant has been here as far back as I can remember, and I have always felt uncomfortable eating seafood at small restaurants. This place came highly rated by a chef I know so we had to give it a try. Man am I glad we did! The fish tacos were one of the highlights and were soo fresh, light and just amazing. The fish was battered beautifully and had such great flavor! The Carne asada and el pastor tacos were amazing as well! We ordered the chili caribe which is a Jalapeño stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon and they were very flavorful as well. Another highlight surprisingly was their zucchini fries! These are some of the absolute best zucchini fries i have had and will definitely order them everytime i go. Went back 2 times that same week because we were craving this place! I also reccomend trying out their salsa bar as well as thier sauces at the table. They do have one familiar space "tapatio" but the others are not common at any resturant and are absolutely amazing! The outdoor patio with misters was nice and you dont feel like your in Albuquerque, but at a food dive along the ocean. Check it out!

    Fabulous prices. Had the Fish Basket today-$10. Several pieces of juicy, tender lightly breaded fish. Last time I ordered the Ceviche Tostada. It was delicious and had a large serving of the Ceviche on the Tostada. Definitely a great value place for the prices. The place feels very local and I can't wait to start eating outside on their patio! Also, this sauce is the bomb! 🔥🔥🔥

    Enjoyed our tacos—fish and pork for me and fish and asada for my husband. Good service too! We’re from the Pacific Northwest. Glad we stopped in 😃

  • 3/5 LiveLaughLove T. 9 months ago on Google
    This place is Good, WHEN IT IS!! They do have Live Karaoke on Some Nights for entertainment! It's a bit pricey here, the Shrimp Basket & Asada Tacos are bomb, but the Shrimp Cocktail & Shrimp Ceviche is Lacking Greatly for the price you pay !! When it's busy it's easy to get lost in the crowd as there is No TABLE SERVICE! The RESTROOMS ARE Absolutely DISGUSTING, Filthy, GREASY, & ??? ! If I Had Seen The Restrooms 1st time, we would Not have come back at all !!

    It was amazing. The food was so fresh and prepared beautifully. Definitely an absolute favorite and a must try. The server is extremely kind. I was kinda shocked how fast everything came out considering we had ordered numerous large items. Also not to expensive.

    ***I am editing this review because the Sharky's food trailer is no longer located on Irving near Coors. It must be on the move! It's worth looking for! Sharky’s now has a food trailer location on Irving Blvd NE, just north of Coors. I’d never tried them before, but thought I would support a local business instead of the nearby Taco Bell, and I was not disappointed. I ordered some fish and shrimp tacos. They were prepared quickly, tasted fresh, and were crispy and delicious. It will be a go-to for us.

    First time, awesome! Best fish tacos I've ever had. Friendly, good service, I'll be back!

    If you're in the area, find this place. We were delighted to have fabulous fish tacos in the middlenif New Mexoco. No matter how much our friends laughed at us! Yes, the fish (fried) tacos were $3 each--they were delicious. The tacos came with two sauces, one spicy and one tangy. Both were great (the tangy was my favorite!) We found the staff to be fun and we loved the atmosphere of their out door eating patio. We highly recommend!!

    Wow!! I was honestly amazed. Everything was so good. We tried the sonora hot dog, the ceviche, and shrimp basket. Everything taste homemade. It all had good flavor! It's a little pricey but you definitely get your moneys worth! Definitely a place to try if your in the area and love seafood.

    Sharky's has outstanding food. The fish tacos were perfect. The slaw was chopped so fine and was fresh and crunchy. The fried zucchini was the best. Fresh zucchini cut into spears and fried. I was surprised and pleased. Will be back here again soon!

    Some of the best octopus that I've had not sitting on the coast. Oysters and the shrimp burrito were fantastic also.
