Tacos, mescal and a patio; this is the new place to be.
Tacofino‘s come far from its Tofino food-truck roots, having just opened a perfectly atmospheric, spiritually surfer-y, 3,000-square-foot space in a heritage brick building off of Gastown’s Blood Alley. The new resto has a burrito bar out front, where you can grab a tempura cod wrap (or nix the tortilla for a bowl) and take a Mexican blanket-covered seat, and the Taco Bar, with hand-woven sunset-hued light fixtures and cool tiling that’s already sparked its share of Instagram shots.
The latter’s menu sees all the tacos you need (steak, crispy chicken, chorizo), plus plates of squash and cauliflower tostadas loaded with savoury veggies, flame-blistered Shishito peppers with tamarind salt and crispy pork Chicharrón that comes to you audibly cracklin’. —Adrienne Matei
