Tacofino Ocho - Vancouver, British Columbia

After 10 years in California and endless food trips to Mexico you can’t judge other tacos by those so I just think was it a good mouthful of food? Resounding yes for the Baja fish, crispiest tastiest batter I’ve ever eaten, plump juicy cod and delicious slaw and salsa. Top ... marks and the same for the tater tots, never wrong. Not so much the Al Pastor, meat was a bit dry and the flavors just weren’t there, same for the lamb birria quesadilla, nice but not quite there. Having said that I’d go back again and again for the fish taco, the friendly and efficient service and the vibe of the outside seating. It’s a very relaxed place to hang out Read more

Very quick and friendly service, along with a beautiful and spacious interior design. I ordered the cod and lemongrass chicken tacos as recommended by the server, absolutely amazing

How on earth are burritos no longer on the dinner menu!? No burritos after 3pm, so you can't even get one along with your happy hour bites and drinks. I used to love this location but it has gone downhill recently, and their new menu just ain't doing them any ... favours. I had the carnitas gringas today and they were so insanely salty, and then I had an extremely unpleasant bathroom experience less than an hour afterwards. I'm giving 2 stars only because their guacamole is still phenomenal, but their service is lacking, and I was so disappointed with the food today and the lack of burritos on their menu. Also... How on earth are burritos NOT a dinner item!? Tacos are lunch, burritos are dinner, no? Won't be returning to this location. Kitsilano hasn't let me down yet so I'll keep going there instead.

My partner and I came for dinner here and for the most part we enjoyed ourselves. I've been to the other branches but it was my first time coming to this branch and my partner hadn't been to Tacofino before. The atmosphere is good but loud so it's hard to ... talk and it's hard to think. In terms of food, yes the nachos and the tacos were yummy. It wasn't possible to order burritos, these can be ordered for take away or during lunch. There is one vegan taco option and one vegetarian taco option. I ordered one of each but it would be nice to have a few more options for vegetarians and/or vegans. Read more

I believe the cocktails I ordered here are the best I've ever had. All of them are excellent. The nachos are a must-order; they're delicious and savory, especially with added carnitas. I also tried the lemon chicken taco, which was awesome. The environment is perfect for gathering and chatting with ... friends. Read more
