I'm from the land of food carts (Portland, OR) and miss them terribly since I moved to Victoria. (Yes, we have a few but not nearly enough!) My husband and I took an impromptu trip up to Tofino. We hadn't been since we moved here and felt like bad Islanders because of it! One of our "must-do"s in Tofino was... More

Love, love, love the fish tacos. So much so we've already gone to the Tacofino Commisary here in Vancouver for more!

Everything was fresh in my burrito, including the homemade tortilla! I couldn't believe how heavy it was - stuffed with tasty fresh ingredients. The line up was huge but the staff worked so quickly and efficiently and were super friendly.

This is a taco truck, with outdoor picnic tables if you want to use them. The line was long, but so worth the wait. The tuna tacos were good too, but it's the fish tacos that are stellar.

We had a little trouble finding it because it is located in the far back area of a little shopping area in Tofino. It is a food truck that sells scrumptious tacos, burritos, desserts and fruit drinks. This was without a doubt the best fish taco that I've ever eaten. This place is very popular with the locals, surfers and... More

The concierge at the Wickaninnish Inn recommended Tacofino to us, as did locals who worked in other restaurants and stores. They stand by their word -- we shared a table with the woman who checked us in for our bear-watching cruise. The taco combinations are inventive and delicious. We split a fish taco and a pork burrito. It was a... More
