Tacofino Taco Bar

"Vancouver has an inexplicably high number of Mexican restaurants, and Gastown has a big share of 'em. There are only three worth mentioning in this hood (and only two for the food). Tacofino is the latest offering on the block.It’s really two restaurants in one. The Cordova St. side is a take-out burrito bar. Great if you need a delicious quick-fix. If you want the sit-down Tacofino experience, you’ll want to go around back into the ominous-sounding Blood Alley entrance. Tacos are the star of the show here. Get at least two with an order of nachos or dips for the table. If it's a weekend, get on the list early, then go for a drink around the corner. They'll send you a text when your table is ready." - Louder Than Ten

"This urban icon started as a hippie food truck housed in a surf shop parking lot on Vancouver Island. It has since blossomed into three restaurants, two burrito bars, a taco joint, and two food trucks, located everywhere from Hastings-Sunrise and Yaletown to Gastown and the Financial District. Chef Stefan Hartmann, who once ran a Michelin-starred restaurant in Berlin, now captains these elevated spots along with founder Jason Sussman. Expect nuanced options like chorizo-kale, pork al pastor with pineapple, and chicken with pickled vegetables, all on soft wheat tortillas for six to seven dollars. Also noteworthy are the meat-free dishes like “vegetable scrapple”—a delicious fritter of squash and chickpeas, topped with herbed tomatoes. And don’t overlook the octopus tostada—Tacofino not only sources seafood sustainably but also participates in Vancouver’s Climate Smart program and is working toward being a zero-waste business."
