Fresh Vibes
Shaka Taco is Topsail Island's favorite, 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.
Fresh Eats
The menu is comprised of ingredients sourced as locally as possible, including fish so fresh it has potential to swim from your tortilla. Christian and Leutgens 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.
With hopes to satisfy the taste buds of patrons along the way, Christian and Leutgens strive to create simple, yet excellent lunch and supper eats. The two are attempting to tackle the untapped market of freshness through quality goods and palate pleasing, paired with an atmosphere encouraging positivity and good energy.

“Fantastic service from a really friendly crew. I opted for wings, the rest of our group had a happy mix of shrimp, fish, and pork tacos. The prices are exceptional for the portion and quality. The chili lime dry rub was amazing. Just a touch of sweet with a good balance of citrus and heat. The tacos, I’m told, were equally as good. Tortillas were hand made, everything was well seasoned, and we had our orders in less than 10 minutes.
I’m really happy to add this place to our list of “must stop” spots along the island. 🤙🤙”
“We had them cater our wedding meal and it was excellent. We had it delivered and they were on time, setup was a breeze. They were so courteous and kind. We would highly recommend them if you need catering services. Everyone loved the meal, and clean up was so easy. We picked them because we always go eat at their restaurant when we are down in Surf City.”
