    Exotic meat sticks
    Doug B.

    We were having dinner nearby and walked around Shoreline Village to kill some time before our reservation. While walking along the boardwalk, we popped into the Extreme Jerky shop. Parking for all of the shops and restaurants is in a pay lot with optional valet. I used the valet since the lot was full. This is definitely an interesting store and a meat lovers paradise. They have a ton of beef jerky with almost any flavor you can think of. They have an interesting display of exotic meat sticks with proteins such as ostrich, alligator, kangaroo, elk, wild boar, and venison in addition to more traditional proteins. They have a great variety of sauces including sweet, savory, hot, and ultra hot. If you zoom in on the sauces picture, some of the product names are hilarious. They also have a few sweets and other interesting snacks. The shop owner was very friendly and was offering out samples. The sample was garlic beef jerky and we didn't want to ruin our breath for the rest of the day so we passed. My girlfriend picked up a bag of loaded nachos soy jerky to try later on. It was interesting and tasted like a mix of nachos and seasoned taco meat. This is a great little shop if you want to try something different. A lot of their items would be great stocking stuffers or unique adventurous gifts.

    Could it BE any jerkier than here?! (If Chandler Bing/Matthew Perry from F*R*I*E*N*D*S TV Show was still around and visited This Exotic Jerky shop), I can imagine he would have said that. Holy schmolly....all kinds of beef jerkies exist here as well as sauces. I only browsed briefly a couple times so didn't note any brand names, but for sauces, they carry a TGIF restaurant brand, 'Jack Daniels.' That I am well aware of. That's actually one of my favorite brands. If I need a bottle of sauce, I would definitely buy from here next trip. This store is easy to locate as it is among the others 'On the Boardwalk,' diagonally across from 'Pirates' Cove,' and across from where all boats dock.

The inside was hot and thick and all of the meats in the case were vacuum sealed. They have a paper menu on the counter and sides listed on a chalkboard to the side. I thought it was humid in there but this couple came in after me and they were gushing about how smokey the air was so I think maybe I didnt appreciate the atmosphere for what it was. I got a brisket sandwich (add pickles) and when I asked about sides, he told me mac salad or potato with a preference on the potato so that's what I got. He then gave me a sampler of their smoked dips on crackers and I gotta say the chicken was the best one, but it was pretty expensive. I think it was like 22 dollars for 8 ounces, so I passed. While I was waiting for my food, that other couple came in and they were ordering a LOT. When they asked about sides, the guy gestured to the menu and told them all were available. I was like wait what, I thought (based on the time of day) they only had the two he offered to me. He was like, nah we have more. So then I put in a second transaction to get a side of their chili and red beans and rice. I felt a little weird about it because it was served in the same plastic containers as the cold items, but heated so the sides and lid were all suctioned in. Overall I thought the sides were delicious and service was very kind despite the previous lack of clear communication but my sandwich was just kind of whatever. Plus the menus didnt have any prices so I didnt know how much anything was until it was time to tap my card so it was a little $$$.

    Been here a handful of times and I have to say this is a taste I have been craving.

Black owned business, owners are doing a great job! No indoor dining, everything to go.

    The smoked (mild) chicken sausage. So delicious! You can taste the fresh herbs and smokiness. 5/5!

They have high-quality cuts of meats and a small, but nicely curated shop with delicious snacks and pantry staples. I like to come here for their picanha, priced at $19.99 a lb. Usually $20 allows me to walk out the door with two modestly sized steaks that become spectacular when they're finished on my stainless-steel pan at home. I also like their frozen meatballs in their freezer, which adds some really nice savory flavors to my spaghetti and meatballs. They have really high end cuts of meat like wagyu and Japanese A5 meats here; however, that's not really what I come looking for. Their pantry is nicely stocked with quality ingredients. It's hard to not pass up their delicious pork rinds (from 4505 or Southern Recipe) or Mutti marinaras. And if I don't feel like cooking, I can come for lunch in order to walk away with a sandwich that they can make for me. Overall, this is a small shop, that's thoughtfully stocked with some really high-quality ingredients for me to make a nice dinner at home!

If it isn't impeccably clean, clear, and free of any off flavors, the meal is over before it starts. For at least the past four years, La Perla Tapatía has never missed the mark. Every fall and winter weekend--and even on a few summer mornings--it's my destination for a bowl that consistently delivers. The broth is remarkably clean yet deeply savory, allowing the slow-cooked flavor of the tripe and spices to shine without feeling heavy or greasy. Finished with crisp white onion, fragrant cilantro, and accompanied by warm, hand-rolled corn tortillas, it's the kind of meal that reminds you why menudo has earned its place as a beloved tradition. The heart of this experience, however, is the señora behind it all. She prepares, cooks, and serves every bowl with the unmistakable touch of home cooking. Her care is evident in every bite, and if she ever leaves La Perla Tapatía, I suspect my loyalty will leave with her. She is the soul of the kitchen, and her cooking is the reason I return time and again. The setting is exactly what you would expect from a neighborhood Mexican bodega--unpretentious, welcoming, and stocked with the everyday ingredients and staples of Mexican cuisine. It's not polished or trendy, nor should it be. The authenticity of the food is what matters, and on that front, La Perla Tapatía continues to excel.
