A burrito can be pricey, but for what you get, it's worth it! I have eaten her numerous times and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend the fish burrito, a delicious must-try.

We were really looking forward to trying this place. We ordered a fish taco and a tuna taco. Between my wife and I, we think we got no more than a teaspoon of fish in each.

Having come from San Diego for our Tofino adventure of getting back to nature, my husband and I certainly did not expect to come across a taco truck. Taco trucks are everywhere in San Diego and being self-proclaimed foodies and connoisseurs of fish tacos, we didn't expect too much from Tacofino. Boy were we wrong. Holy crap the food was... More

This is a good, casual spot in a van approx 3kms from Tofino. Would recommend if you like basic, unpretentious Mexican street food.

Nice fresh ingredients and some good flavour combinations but too much cabbage and not enough of anything else, would have tasted better with something other than cabbage. Has one too many overly positive hipster and poser reviews. Service could have been less too-cool-for-school and a little more friendly. Great to eat outside but guacamole and drinks are too expensive considering... More

The Tacofino food truck is AMAZING! I could spend all day popping back to eat tacos or burritos or Gringas. When not in Tofino this is place is the place I miss the most. Grab a spot outside on the benches and choose more than one taco, have 2 or 3 as they are quite small and go down the... More

Tacofino food truck had some of the best fish tacos we have ever eaten. I know my fish tacos, and these were YUMMY! After whale watching, walking the beaches, and sight-seeing, Tacofino was a very pleasurable end of the day. Love the location, and the atmosphere. Great vacation!

I was so excited to try Tacofino when we got to Tofino, that it was the first place we got to when we arrived. I had 2 fish tacos, so good, messy, but very fresh and excellent flavour. The fish were lightly battered, not greasy, and had a great crunch on the batter. My other half, had a beef burrito,... More
