    Wow, are their tacos ever so delicious, filling and pretty. Almost all of them are perfectly balanced with different textures and flavour profiles. When it comes to the Carnitas, it's tender pork paired with pickled red onions to give it a zing. The crispy chicken tacos, have this black garlic aïoli that is out of this world; it's umami to a tee. They're battered fish tacos. Have a great salsa Fresca on top, but it does make the tacos, that ideally should be super crispy, a bit soggy unfortunately. The service is always friendly and their locations and food trucks are both very busy but yet you don't wait too long.

    Crispy Tofu Bowl + Piña Colada
    Dana S.

    This is of a few Tacofino locations. I like that the different locations all have slightly different menus so you can try different things at each location. It's tacos and burritos, but thats about where the Mexican influence ends; it's West Coast flavours wrapped up in a tortilla. You order and pay at the counter here, but the staff will bring your food out and even bus your table for you. Everyone here was friendly and very diligent about cleaning up after customers left. I got the crispy tofu bowl and a piña colada. The bowl was very tasty: big flavour, good pairing of textures with the soft tofu and eggplant with crispy cabbage and cauliflower. Hot sauce on the side is optional - I said yes to this and they brought out 2 kinds. Both were good on their own but I preferred the green with these flavours. Although the bowl already has jalapeños, the hot sauce was essential for me in tying this together. There was no rice or any grain/carb and I kind of felt like it was missing something because of that - both in the composition sense and nutritional sense. Obviously getting this in burrito form solves that, but if ordering as a bowl, you might want to get chips or something on the side. The other burritos/bowls do contain rice, it's just this one that is without. The piña colada was not a thick slush like I expected, but more like a shaken drink. Very good, though. The coconut foam topping was fun. It was a little expensive for the size considering the amount of it that was ice. Definitely would go back here if I'm nearby or it's on the way again to try more.

    Had a fantastic meal at the Tacofino in Kitsilano. They're open 11:30am-9:00pm and I stopped by for a late lunch with a friend. Opted to dine in, got a number and was served very quickly. Water is self serve. Ordered the chips and guacamole ($9) and really enjoyed crispy chips. I got the albacore tuna taco ($7.50) and enjoyed the soy glaze, wasabi mayo, wakame, pickled ginger, and nori. I also got the classic pacific cod taco ($6.50). With chipotle mayo, salsa fresca, cabbage, this taco is probably my favorite consistently across all tacofino locations. Enjoyed both tacos with the hot sauces. Yum!

    Dinner at Tacofino Ocho (E 5th and Ontario) Nachos and tacos are good as usual. However, their churros are dry and slightly Service is ok.

    Chicken Burrito

    The burritos are awesome here! The tortilla wraps are delicious and they give a generous sized burrito. I liked the maui pork a lot, but I wish there was more of it in the burrito.

    Pork and chicken tacos

    Been waiting to try this place as I'm new to the city. Tip 1: don't attempt at eating the tacos in the car. Requires a very high taco skill that apparently I do not have. Tacos were tasty. I liked the crispy chicken a lot. The pork one was good but had a lot of fat parts in it. Will still come back to try other things on the menu. A bit expensive for two tacos but it filled me for my late lunch.

    Fish tacos without salsa/cilantro

    I first had Tacofino at a friends wedding when they had their truck come for an after wedding party. The fish tacos were soooo good and ruined me for any other future fish tacos. Had it again this weekend and it was delicious and fresh. I would say that I could've eaten two but only ordered one so order more than one if you are pretty hungry.

    I ordered their fish taco and tuna taco. Between the two, the fish taco was by far the best. It was meaty and big. The tuna taco was a bit dry and we were disappointed. Their fish taco had a lot of chopped tomatoes and onions and it was great!

    Al Pastor Taco
    Sayoka H.

    Overall great experience at this Tacofino location. Portions are huge, staff and service is good. Taste of the tacos were great, especially the Nachos. Usually the nacho's are cold at the other locations but it was nice to have it still warm. Ordered the fish and al pastor taco and it did not disappoint. I also do recommend for those who like ginger, to order the tuna taco (tastes just like tuna tataki). One thing I would suggest to improve is the vibe/environment of restaurant but I also do understand this may be difficult with covid regulations.

    So good from start to finish. Everything we ordered hit, and I already know I'll be back to try the…read morerest of the menu. Service was great. Our server was attentive and around when we needed something but never interrupting, and his recommendations ended up being some of our favourite dishes. The anchovy olives were a standout, super crispy, packed with flavour, and not overly fishy at all (great if you're a bit hesitant about anchovies). The mushroom toast was rich, savoury, and full of umami. Just a heads up not to let it sit too long since it softens the bread. The tuna tartare was fresh and well-balanced. Not my personal favourite served on toast, but still really enjoyable overall. The paella was excellent, perfectly cooked shrimp, tclams, and crispy pork belly chicharrón that added the best salty, fatty crunch. The roasted cabbage completely surprised me and was easily one of the best veggie dishes I've had in a while. I could have eaten a whole plate of it. We wrapped things up with churros and shared a pitcher of sangria. For three people, it came out to about $68 each before tip, which felt very fair for how much we ordered. Would definitely recommend.

    The service was friendly and prompt but we were a bit disappointed by the food…read more We ordered the meat and cheese plate and they did say one of the options was fattier, but it was essentially a strip of fat (as you can see in the photo). As well, the manchego was so tiny it was like a shaving . The bone marrow amounted to about three teaspoons of marrow. We were so sad and dissatisfied. The patatas bravas was okay. Unfortunately we do not have a reason to return.
