Tacofino was born out of a desire to create a unique dining experience by offering quality, freshness and affordability with an environmental and nutritional conscience. Fast slow food is a concept that really appeals to us, so we make everything from scratch and with love, but without the wait!
With food truck locations in Tofino, Victoria and Vancouver, and restaurants in Vancouver, Tacofino is making a name for itself thanks to their delicious, eclectic Mexican-inspired fare. Try the fish burrito – packed with crispy cod, white beans, rice, cabbage and lime mayo salsa.
Known primarily as a food truck, Tacofino has three permanent restaurant locations — on East Hastings, in Gastown and in Yaletown
— which means you can now enjoy their famous fish tacos with more than a Diet Coke. Their extensive list of cocktails uses tequila to brilliant effect, from classic and spicy margaritas, tequila-laced Caesars and that beach-side favourite, the Michelada, to more intriguing combinations like El Jimador, ginger beer and lime or the killer Santiago — mezcal, aperol and vermouth. Be sure to order plenty of toasty tortilla chips to soak up the strong stuff.
Long a fixture in surf mecca Tofino, Tacofino won instant die-hard fans when it rolled into Vancouver. Initially a food truck, the crew knew there was enough demand for a restaurant, and the tacos – chicken karaage and award-winning fish are signatures – have been flying out of the kitchen ever since. Whether a mobile lunch from the truck or a full dinner (with cocktails!) at the Commissary, you can’t go wrong with one of this city’s favourites.
