Shaka Taco is Topsail Island's newest, freshest option. Chef Steve Christian and surf schooler Cody Leutgens transformed the iconic Mollie's building to create a one-of-a-kind establishment that the two Topsail High pals believe Surf City needed. The space, attached to Surf City City School, is designed for folks of any age to sit outside, relax, hang, play games, and maybe have a beer and/or delicious taco. Patrons order from a window and may dine on the patio, or carry their tasty treats to their destination of choice.
The Shaka Taco menu is comprised of ingredients sourced as locally as possible, including fish so fresh it has potential to swim from your tortilla. The owners designed a simplistic menu holding tacos, taco bowls, wings, and acai bowls. Each taco protein is paired with 3 toppings, all prepared multiple times daily - this allows for the respected protein to be complimented inside its tortilla home, rather than drowned out by filler or nonsense. Wings are NC jumbo flats and drums, lathered in homemade seasonings and sauces. Bowls are like a supersized taco over coconut or Mexican rice and seasoned black beans - order these gems with an appetite. And, well, if you've never had an acai bowl, let Shaka Taco spoil your tangy and sweet mystery.

Food: mediocre and over priced, queso has good flavor. Chicken beyond bland, tortillas stale. Service: employees are snotty but seems to be the NC trend. You'll be swatting flies the entire...
We literally just got done eating here. And I had no time to take pictures because I was spending too much time enjoying time with the family and scarfing down our food. We ordered two shrimp,...
Usually I find beach food mediocre/disappointing but Shaka Taco pleasantly surprised me with how good everything was. There was a line to order but it moved quickly - the restaurant even offered...
I really wasn't expecting much because beach food usually isn't great, but this is by far the best beach food I've ever had. It was somewhat busy when we went so the wait was a little long, but...
