Brandon “Brando” Strawn moved from Lubbock, TX to Cerritos Beach in 2017 to fulfill his dream of opening a taco stand on the beach. By April 2018, that dream became reality with Shaka’s Delicious Wood Cantina y Galeria.

What started as a humble “taco stand” has grown into a Baja destination—known for its fun, friendly atmosphere, curated cocktails, and some of the most unique and delicious cuisine in the Baja! Alongside partners Kevin Stein and Dustin Meeker, Executive Chef, formerly of Cabo Wabo Cantina, Brando has built Shaka’s into more than a restaurant—it’s a family.

Shaka’s delivers great food, great drinks, and warm hospitality that makes everyone feel welcome!
