Finally got to try the first Tacofino after trying every Tacofino in Vancouver. We had grilled chicken burrito, chicken gringa, tuna tacos and beef tacos. As always, it was delicious.

Unfortunately the wait time is really long. We spent 37 minutes to place the order and another 45 minutes to get it - almost an hour and a half in total. It would be great if there was online ordering.

Famous original Tacofino in Tofino. Went about an hour before closing and was able to order right away. Only waited around 15 minutes for the order. Food was delicious. My favourite was the crispy chicken tacos.

I had the pleasure of getting take out at the original Tacofino food truck in Tofino, and it was an absolute delight.:

1. Delicious Mexican Food:
The food at Tacofino truly lives up to the reputation of authentic and mouthwatering Mexican cuisine. Each bite was a burst of flavor that left me craving for more.

2. Originality of the Tofino Location:
What makes this experience even more special is the fact that this food truck in Tofino is the original Tacofino outpost. It's where the magic began, and you can feel the authenticity in every dish they serve.

3. Diverse Selection:
We tried a variety of dishes to get a taste of everything Tacofino has to offer. The Fish Taco, Krispy Chicken Burrito, and Pork Kimchi Gringas were all memorable choices.

4. Crispy Perfection - Fish Taco:
The Fish Taco was a standout. The fish was impeccably crispy, and the combination of pico de gallo, cabbage, and other toppings provided a harmonious balance of textures and flavors that was truly delightful.

5. Generous Portions - Krispy Chicken Burrito:
The Krispy Chicken Burrito was not only massive but also incredibly delicious. It's so generously filled with rice, crispy chicken, guacamole, and more that it could easily satisfy two people when paired with another item.

6. Savory Surprise - Pork Kimchi Gringas:
The Pork Kimchi Gringas was a pleasant surprise. Similar to a quesadilla but with a unique twist, it featured juicy pork topped with kimchi and fried on cheese. It's a must-try for those looking for something different.

7. Hot Sauce Heaven:
Don't forget to enhance your meal with their hot sauce. It complements all their dishes perfectly and adds an extra layer of flavor for those who like a bit of heat.

8. Refreshing Mango Jarritos:
To wash down all that deliciousness, we opted for Mango Jarritos, which paired wonderfully with the food. It's a refreshing and slightly sweet beverage that adds a tropical touch to your meal.

In conclusion, Tacofino's original food truck in Tofino is a culinary gem that delivers on its promise of fantastic Mexican food. From crispy fish to massive burritos and inventive gringas, they offer a diverse range of flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. Don't miss out on the hot sauce and a Mango Jarritos to complete the experience. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this food truck is a must-visit for an unforgettable Mexican dining adventure.

The tacos were really flavourful. We got the fish, pork, crispy chicken, and a veggie one. Pork was kur favourite. The problem was the line. It took over an hour to get our tacos, good thing we were on vacation so we just chilled. But there were people complaining they were missing some waves. The washroom was super clean so it's a good place to stop by before a long drive back to the ferry.

Such an amazing spot to get some tacos or burritos. The staff were very friendly and helpful in ordering and the food was delicious. I highly recommend heading here for lunch or dinner and eating it there as it’s a nice atmosphere on a nice sunny day. I had the beef burrito and my wife had a beef taco and a chicken taco and they were both superb!

It was recommended by several friends to try the fish tacos at Tacofino on our trip to the island and boy are we glad we did. The food was delicious! We ended up ordering the fish tacos and the tuna tacos and both were delicious. Such different flavors in both.
We will definitely be going back the next trip. In the mean time on the search for a delicious fish taco at home.
Hopefully the cashier that took our order sees this review and the picture, I promised to tag them in, she was pretty wonderful too!

* The only downfall was a lengthy wait to order. I do think I saw that you could pre order, so will look further into that next time.

A definite must experience! It is a good truck hidden away but a gem. The vibe is laid back and friendly. A community feel with two long communal live cut tables to eat outside and music playing in the background.

The food truck has a collection of stickers from visitors around the world. The food, fresh and tasty with vegan and vegetarian options too. Loved it so much went back for seconds and may visit again before I leave.

Always a line, expect a wait. But definitely worth it. Best location in my opinion. Their beef steak burrito is my fave. This location lets you add a bit of kimchi and it’s 👌🏽. Definitely a must when in Tofino.

4 stars because they charge an auto 10% gratuity on all orders, sometimes without telling you - not cool. It’s takeaway.. You should give people the choice to tip or not tip.
