Tacofino started out as a food truck that I was rarely able to eat. I hated the fact I no longer worked downtown and missed out on life’s great moments. Tacofino Commissary Vancouver is located on East Hastings kiddie corner to infamous pulled pork pancakes at Red Wagon, best minced pork and egg foo yung at Le Do and traditional Hanoi flavors at Mr. Red Cafe Vietnamese restaurants. Lunch menu features 2 for $10 tacos, $6 RAD caesar and $10 Beer growlitas. Tacofino is also located in Gastown Blood Alley, Tofino, and Victoria.
The sun finally came out on Sunday and we picked the window seat. The sunlight was a bit harsh but I’m not complaining. I love the tacos here at Tacofino Comissionary. Each tacos are perfectly prepared and seasoned with bright and delicious ingredients. It’s no wonder there are constant line ups.
SUMMER SQUASH AND POTATO: leek, lacinato kale, cheddar, chili crema, and salsa fresca
PORK JOWL: cabbage, fried shallot, pineapple, sriracha. Pork jowl tacos is my favorite and is the one I will order again and again. And again.
ALBACORE TUNA: soy, sesame, wakame, ginger, wasabi mayo. This is perfect for the asian palette. I love the white pickled ginger, wakame seaweed and fatty albacore tuna.
FISH: crispy ling cod, cabbage, chipotle mayo, salsa fresca
Each taco is $6 and it’s a great dinner option when you want variety. During dinner time we highly recommend the grilled octopus salad with crispy yucca, market greens, avocado jalapeno crema, lime pepper aioli, and spicy chili oi. The Tater Tots are great alternative to poutine and even more awesome after a few drinks. Full of chorizo verde, cheddar curds, fundido, crema, and salsa fresca.
