Chunky Salsa 5990 Beach Drive Southwest, Shallotte, NC 28470

"My favorite Birria tacos from all the places I have tried them. And that is a lot of places! Thought my favorite was a secret taco place in Vegas, but this tops those! Go here. You won’t regret it!"

"First of all, chef Corey was running the front desk when my group of friends visited. He was amazing, and he gave us a run down on the menu and made all of our special requests happen. The birria meat is amazing, and I would highly recommend a dish that has it. They opperate on an evolving menu due to fresh ingredients availability and adding new dishes. If I could recommend any restaurant in the area, it would be chunky salsa. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the salsa and chips. The salsa was very runny, and the chips were not fresh. Never the less I give the food 5 stars because my main course was that good. I do recommend take out if you are expecting an attentive typical dine in experience. They have a few small tables inside and a few outside. I hope they will expand into a full restaurant, but as a to go place, they are exceptional!"

"This place is a hole in the wall, but don't let that scare you. The food here is outstanding, all of the meats are prepared impeccably and the service is fast and friendly. Ingrid took great care of us!"

"The birria tacos oh my gosh! So so so delicious. I’ve been on the hunt for the best birria tacos & I had to drive 10 hours to ocean isle to find em! All the food we ordered was top notch. The rice & beans, whew. Lol so good. Service was really great. Atmosphere was cute & fun. Loved it the fresh flowers on the table. I wish this place was back home in Ohio. I’d go all the time! I do wish they had a simple children’s menu, but it wasn’t a deal breaker because there’s still so many great menu choices you can just skip the spicy garnishes. My children still loved their meals & devoured it all!"

"We did a takeout order. All of the food was really good. We did the 9-juan-juan, birria, the OIB, and the smok'd, and all were a hit. The spicy sauce that came with all of them was really good and added a really nice flavor. Each order comes with two tacos and a side of rice/beans which is also good. The birria is the one that looks almost deep fried (menu says they are griddle fried). Only thing I probably wouldn't do again is the street corn. The sauce and cheese are fine but the corn itself tastes like it's frozen and from a bag. Also if you're planning on eating there just know that there are only about 6 tables in the place so it's pretty small (not necessarily a bad thing but I can see three being a wait)."
